Yes lol. So far I enjoy it.Originally Posted by MOWE
How much can the stock motor really handle?
450+ but tq numbers need to stay around 350 and come in at a high rom like 4k. With that setup the motor will stay happy. Any lower instant tq or higher that's where it becomes dangerous
nothing much lately here.
got a new coupler. to get rid of that slight kink
and this Monday morning I shipped my ecu to turboxs to have them flash my ecu with the gt30 tune. also picking up the required 750DW injectors that they use with tune. those also came from TXS. they should have it shipped off today. going to overnight it so should be here by 10:30 am Friday morning.
while my car was down I had my buddy sand blast the housing for me since it was very dirty. Special thanks to cb7tuner
after it was sand blasted
also this weekend im gunna clean the bay up a little and get rid of some of those wires and HID kit stuff (hide it)
got me a turboxs stevejohns tune! this thing is sick!
got the 750cc injectors
this car is pretty fast lol
MORE FUEL DRAMA!
so my story begins with my aeromotive style FPR. it wasn't bad just I needed to go lower than 40 psi of fuel. the aeromotive style I had, had a set base pressure of 40-75. so I couldn't go any lower. so I bought a AEM FPR because it started at 20 and could go as high as the fuel pump could flow.
here some pics.
here it is all hooked up
now heres where the problem start. after installing the AEM I still could not get lower that 40lbs. needles to say I was pissed. so that's when I called William at PRW. I explained the whole situation. he instantly knew the solution. so I thought I would share It here.
this piece is the part you will need to modify. its the part where the FPR delete sits. its also how the gets syphoned from the other side of the fuel tank.
now if you look in the picture you can see the tiny hole that the fuel has to go through to go back into the tank. see how small that hole is? basically what happening is that fuel can not get through that hole fast enough. causing a back up fuel in that fuel return line. that fuel not getting through is making the FPR not to be adjustable lower. now it not only causes problems for fuel pressure but im almost willing to be that the FPR was not acting like a 1:1 fuel ratio. meaning. for every pound of boost im making, it gains a pound of fuel pressure. if that does not rise you will run lean.
now heres the issue. BBB drilled his hole too big. so now the gas wont syphon from the passenger side tank. he doesn't drive the car that often so its not a huge issue for him. but for me as its my daily its a must for me. so I measured the hole. and the FACTORY hole size is a 1/16 hole. I used my drill bits to figure this out. it was a nice up and down snug fit. so I went one drill bit size up. I used at 5/64 drill bit. which is slightly bigger. now that did 2 things for me. one allowed more fuel to flow out. second help me have a more accurate 1:1 ratio.
after I drilled the hole I was able to lower my FPR to 25lbs now. that may be a good sign since its suppose to lower to 20. because hopefully the hole is still small enough to syphon the gas from the other side of the tank. I will have to let you know in about a week if it did or not lol.
heres the hole drilled. as you can see not much bigger.
heres the pressure lowest it would almost go.
I now have it raised to 30psi. so by my calculations it should be close to 50psi of fuel at 20lbs of boost.
oh and I bought a big tial blue spring that I will run with a small red spring to run off wastegate of 20lbs of boost. im not gunna use a boost controller. just wastegate pressure.
This is the most recent pic of it I guess. Taken at FD
Nice. I'm sure 450/350 is fun and enough.
btw I'm the guy that owned your S14 haha
Not feeling the "turbo xs" on the intercooler, but gorgeous car.This is the most recent pic of it I guess. Taken at FD
Did you buy it from me or bought it from somebody else, what happened to it? Do you know? I miss that car so much. Couldn't ask for a better setup and motor was perfect
nothing going on too much lately.
just got some fogs and front lip. I put it on to test fit and let it hang out in the sun to maybe mold a little to make it easier to put on. it will be painted here shortly by the one and only cb7tuner. he knows how to work his magic.. also the fogs are going yellow. guess im gunna start to work on the outside of the car a little for looks now. next will be some sideskirts and rear diffuser then some wheels.
also I have a rear spoiler that will be painted and put on at the same time
Little ricer fly by I got the other day

Any drifting videos of this car?
AFA HOLLYWOOD PREMIER LEAGUE EST. 1998
One but it was super slippery and I couldn't do anything. And it was just a little drift anyway. I actually have one when it was stock
This was stock and first time drifting this car and it sucked as I had a ton of body roll and the car wants to understeer in stock form
stock genesis drifting 2 - YouTube
cb7tuner able to paint my front lip for me. here are a few pics
Wow gorgeous! One of the best genesis' I've seen. The yellow fogs set it off!
went a made all those hoses stainless so I hopefully never have to worry about them again on long trips. next thing will be turbo blanket and use the heat sleeve.
Started on trunk spoiler. More pics tom. Got to dark. Scary drilling into the trunk I will say that.
And
here are some pics I snapped this morning. sorry for dirty car.
ride looks super clean? how much does he charge to paint/and or repair bumper scuffs? PM me.
Guess I'll update since it's been awhile
Got turbo blanket on
OMG! my first ever aftermarket wheels ever! anybody that knows me knows this is mega ground breaking. im a stock wheel kind of guy. I always do the motor first then everything else. let me say that this killed me spending this much on wheels even tho its not even that much. rather cheap wheels actually lol. I just chose xxr526. 20x11 +11 in the rear. 20x9 +13 in the front. the lip in the rear is a wide as it gets. 5.25 I think.
sorry for bad pics. cell phone. I will bust out the d3200 when I get them on and painted.
this is the front.
this is the rear
test fit on front.
test fit on the rear. the rear sags more because the strut and spring are separate. they should sit like the fronts.
the wheels are going to get painted gold. heres the color I chose
and the prepping has begun
Wheels all scuffed up. This is everything were using
Back of wheels first
Time for fronts
And for the gold
Just a sneak peak tho
Got it all on.
The rears
Tire shop couldn't get them to bead. So I just took them home. After a hour of failed ether trick. We used a bike tire. This way took five mine and was super easy. The tire helped seal the gap and let air hold. As the tire began to stretch we then pulled the tube out of the way.
I got them on the car. I need to edit some pics. I'll post some of them on soon.
Wheels are 20 x 11 +11 in rear running 245/35 and fronts are 20 x 9 +13 running 225/35
got the wheels on
