also, let me clarify that im not saying my car is the be all-end all of setups.

but im also not saying i set my turbo up a certain way to affect cg.


ya feel me?

 

Im not setting my turbo up to effect cg I like bottom mount set ups. Im just saying bottom mount is a better way to go about effecting the cg. But Im done talking about that cg we both have different opinions on it so we r not going to see eye to eye on it. As far as suspension i dont buy shit ass stuff. here is the list just for you. Stance GR+ coilovers, Tien tie rod and ends, Tien camber plates, Nismo power brace, I do have megan rear upper camber arms thats the only cheap thing. And i dont care about tires I burn them off to fast

idk when the dyno maybe next week the car is going to be done tomm or monday idk iv been really really busy. For ECU i am running a power fc, the head is built tomei pro cams, bc springs,bc retainers, rocker arm stoppers, all brand new seals, apex HG, acl bearings main, rod, and thrust, new oil pump, new rings, hone, hot tank, deck thats off the top of my end. im using stock rods and pistons.

 

Realistically, we all have that "off the shelf" suspension and having Megan/K-Sport coilovers doesn't put one lower than you. Just because a product is not the top brand doesn't make it inferior or unreliable. Also, by the looks of the pictures and work shown the setup seems in no way unexecuted because it takes a lot of work for a custom manifold/turbo setup.

There is no fault for the OP to want to have the lowest cg as possible, even though he doesn't have an F1 car, so since he doesn't own a professional formula car I don't think he has to use the most expensive raved suspension products there are as well.

 

^Thank you Chome^

 

you guys are missing my point.
im not saying theres anything wrong with that stuff.
im saying its totally lame to even try to say youre doing something to affect the cg on a car that isnt a 100% race car. it seems more like they did it, got called out on it being not really the best way, and rather than just saying "oh well, is what it is" they concocted some stupid theory on cg and whatever. its just dumb.

and if this is a drift car its double dumb.

 

I have to side with Tim on this one. This is TR where we keep it real. If you want to be some sort of fake engineer and try to impress a bunch of Publix baggers with physics terms, then you need to sign up at Zilvia. Then again, if you've done the math to support your assertion, then I'd love to look over it and help explain to the group how it works and what the real implications are. The fab work looks great, and that by itself makes this a badassed thread. You don't have to oversell it.

By the way, my last coilover setup wasn't off the shelf. Koni 8611 DA's in custom housings.

 

That is by far one of the sickest setups I've seen/read about. Ep did you get those custom housings the guy was building and powdercoating? His name and the website I saw this escapes me right now, but I was looking into going that route, then dropped the cash on KW Variant 3's. How do/did you like them? Any complaints?

Either way, if they are not a custom fab'd or valved suspension setup, it's off the shelf regardless of price or manufacturer.

Guys, the fab work looks awesome and that's not what everyone is attacking. It's the way you are promoting/selling your product to TR. There's a lot of straight shooters here, so don't get butthurt when they call you out.

 

I dont even know what to say to you guys lol iv said it twice other ppl have said it and you all still want to drag this cg out. ITS OVER lets move on we both have way different points of views on cars. I dont want my thread turning into a stupid ass 8974394 page on cg ok. thank u

 

WOW! I haven't read this in a while LOL

 

So given what the EVOs do with this turbo, and the fact that they make these whp numbers through an AWD system, what are you looking at for numbers and at what boost pressure. What Tomei cams did you wind up getting?
