EJ8 Turbo Build

[Ceros]

Nice whip.

Thanks bro! I think you're the same guy that commented on my Reddit post! LOL

Damn, nice coupe bro! Im really diggin all your amazing work... Not really feeling the front tow hook but im just a retarded hater, lol but no all jokes aside, I love it very very clean

I did the tow took so I could have a useable way to tow it from the front ( as the stock ones are un-usable due to the ride height ). I actually have used it twice now, it's not just there for "looks" it WILL tow the car. lol.

PLANS FOR THIS WINTER:

suspension stuff:
ASR subframe brace : Silver/polishes
Roll bar : Thinking of going white on this, we'll see. I really haven't gotten the specs of it figured out yet.
LCAS : haven't decided which ones yet. I want function7, but DAM they're spendy
Sway bars : Thinking ASR
front and rear strut bars : Not sure on these yet.


ALSO, I may be buying a z6 block, head, and a y8 head. I'm not sure which combo I'd do, but I'm thinking of buying that and starting to build an engine, and shooting for more power. I haven't decided between just doing the bottom end and shooting for around 300whp+ or doing a full build and shoot for 500whp+. Althought I do want this to be a track car and really don't need mad power. But maybe building the top end could give me more low rpm power, due to faster and harder intake. But, that is yet to be decided.

Here's another bay pic for you guys :

Also, here's a dyno video so you guys can see it in action finally! haha. I'm hoping to get some video or something put together with some roll vids with my buddy's GoPro 1080p,

ha, thanks man!

You may not have seen this thread because I sometimes have to take little breaks from this build to focus on school, my career, and other things that life brings along.

Update on the build:

The car is on jacks now and will be down for the season until next spring / summer

parts shipping in :

Password JDM rear strut tie bar
Megan Racing C Pillar Bar
Megan Racing B Pillar Bar
BLOX Polished Rear Lower Control Arms
Polished Blackworks Rear Subframe Brace

Can't wait until they are all here! Once they are here, I will be posting pics of them being put on and such!

Some things I've been thinking about :

- Steering wheel and hub - something Momo, NRG, or something, something simple and clean with a hub release
- Roll bar, and paint it white to match the wheels
- front password JDM 3 points strut bar, to match the back one
- vitara pistons, eagle rods, and ACL bearings and hit 300whp. So, with 300whp and suspension work I should be about ready for a track.

Anyways, once parts are here I will be posting many pics up! Stay tuned ya'll!

Well I have some suspension parts in!

Megan Racing C Pillar Bar, PasswordJDM Rear Strut Tie Bar, Blackworks Racing Rear Subframe Brace, and BLOX Lower Control Arms

 

[K00PA]

Nice, buddy! Lets see them on the car. The color will def compliment it well

 

[Ceros]

Yes. I'm very excited about putting them on. I also think I'm going to run my open downpipe right out the side of the car.

I've just been so busy with school, work, and training to get much time for the car.


Speaking of which, this is me on halloween, as Zeus. lol. I was pretty proud to pull off a good Zeus.

My body is my other build, lol. I just don't have a thread for it. :p

 

[Ceros]

She's back for the season!

I've put on the PasswordJDM rear upper strut tie bar.

I have yet to put on my Subframe brace and lower control arms, but they will be on so soon also.

I may have a C Pillar bar that is too short, I can't get it to reach the two points where they connect.

More updates to come.

Message a member on here, he's an s-mod. Username is Emerican. He had a c pillar bar that was too short but made it work with something. He could help you.
