  1. He mostly does trips down the 555 and might do an autox every once and awhile. I told him a roots/Whipple would be best imo but he like the cheap price of a turbo and thinks its going to be trouble free once installed (maybe it would be but I'm doubting it)
  2. He has never driven anything fast, has an engineering degree but little real world mechanical aptitude. I'm hesitate to tell him to go turbo because most kits aren't install and forget and I'm worried about the future. He is going to be using it mostly as a daily and nothing more. I had him talked into a blower until the company he was going to buy it from talked him out of it (not that hard when its 2k more) I personally think the low end torque is going to make the car more fun to drive than high hp numbers of a turbo...
  3. My Roommate is looking to boost his 2013 Fr-s. He planned to buy the supercharger option from vortech but is now leaning turbo after a company told him he should... I don't know these cars so I'm asking Cr for your knowledge....
  4. So I need some input on things. 1.What is the easiest bracket setup on a 5.3 to run an alternator and the oe water pump? Maybe change to a groved pulley and move alt to other side maybe? 2. Are all ls alternator s the same or are some physically smaller? 3. Is heat soak a concern for the ls coil packs or leaving them in the stock location OK?
  5. I took one out after my ex and I split and she answered the door in a big baggy shirt with no bra and boobs she could tuck into her belt.... There was no second date. That said however I met my current girlfriend on there and she's fucking awesome
  6. That is awesome! If I had less things going on I'd put this in the man cave tomorrow!
  7. I'm running a cable too ... I think I'm gonna run a truck one for now... But its so ugly lol
  8. Being as I'm building my first ls car I found this article interesting...http://www.hotrod.com/features/1507-20-ls1-intake-manifolds-tested/
  9. I know this is a long shot but I'm hunting for a decent 3.7 for my 08 Colorado. They few in the salvage yards a REALLY high priced.
  10. Watching cause my trouble maker needs help too
  11. Brakes and rear suspension is a pretty easy fix once you have a running car. Again I understand what is involved and thanks for your unsolicited opinion cdk 4219.
  12. Well being as I'm a Ford guy I'm doing an ls swap to learn something new, also I've found about every kind of Toyota based swap but strangely no ls swap. So it will be a little unique. Then the third point is a 1uz (or whatever) makes 265 HP and uses Lexus parts($$) the 2jz is all $$ if watching Alex and Matt's supras show me anything. We aren't aiming for a competive drag car just a fun toy that we can build on as we go.
  13. Also it's a Cr slut because I am the fourth Cr member to own this car... That I know of.lol
  14. So my Roommate, Best friend ,and I bought a car to run drag week 2016 in...... We are planning a 5.3/4l80 and boost. More pics and what not to come. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=959&pictureid=8396 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=959&pictureid=8395http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=959&pictureid=8394 I should also mention this is a budget build so I'm looking for quality used parts that you all may have spare. I have an engine lined up but still need a good usable 4l80, a boost friendly cam that works with stock pistons. I am a Ford guy as I'm sure most of you know but with this project we are going ls for two reasons. One and manly I want to do something different. Two .. It's cheap...ish
  15. Might be able to take guns as payment for anyone needing a killer winter truck with no green
  16. Its good. It has a box not a rack so it's not as tight but it doesn't wander or what not.
