Rockmanx Fp Black Complete Build thread.
1450cc are perfect boss no true need to go any higher unless you want 700+ then you need to step up but if you making a logical setup like mine then they will kickass all the way to the finish line

Motor should be done this week. Jesse is sending me the turbo. He put a VBand on the cat side of the downpipe so I have to get that cutoff. Car might actually fire up next week. Jesse is waiting on his AC line fabricator to finish the AC kit for me.
Works wont be here until 1st or second week in July, Gruppe-S Limited edition Superlaps have no ETA, just got my Buschur Racing Quickrelease harness.
Wife's wheels wont be finished until 5 weeks from now, her Fortune Auto coilovers will ship in 3 weeks, her carbon fiber wing and front lip will ship in 3 weeks. Hopefully all her go fast bits will come in the next week so I can install and take the car to go get tuned.
Basically I'm in a holding pattern.

On 28psi It put down 454 and 418 or so torque. Jorge suspects it might have a small boost leak so they checking it out. So not bad for pump gas since that will be my less aggressive of the tunes.
PLEASE BARE IN MIND ITS HOT AS HELL IN TEXAS AND I WAS TOLD EASILY 105 IN DYNO ROOM

Dang dude lol. still with the same issue over and over and over again. the clutch and that thing is a triple if im not mistaken and it cost like waht 4k or so. Guezz i loved your videos you were sending me then they stopped. Hmm soon ill have my own videos for sure plan on getting this whip end of july
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON DOWN THERE NICKY explain yourself and btw im get my evo weekend of july 23 after my mom gets remarried ill be in LA so ill just shoot down to SA and scoop it up.
to big for me for now i want to enjoy the fp black for awhile. im not lusting for power like most to be honest. Just wanted it to look good and be fast in its own right. besides before i ever think about changing turbos i wanna get rims color changing paint job and maybe built transmission. by that time it will be time to get something else. Im really liking the bmw 135i/128i. probaly next year time to get another sorta beater car
