I wanted to be confident racing it, not have to worry about it letting go I guess..Damn no good, should have just gotten another stock case and put it all back together and sold it off to somebody wanting something to handle less power, that way can recuperate some lost cash...Kewish seem's to be quite popular and yeah $7k and then converter bellhousing mod's, good yoke etc it will be getting right up there that's for sure...Goodluck with it anyhow...

tuono Member 312 Member For: 14y 15d Posted 05/07/11 05:26 AM Share Posted 05/07/11 05:26 AM If Dillz is meaning the FG plastic elbow that fails, they're $99 from Process West. If this thing runs the OEM one, it will fail under the intended boost so hardly making it look 'gay'.No, shiny bits. As mentioned in his reply.

Cabbie Member 18 Member For: 15y 23d Posted 25/07/11 11:37 AM Share Posted 25/07/11 11:37 AM well it wasnt my intention when I brought the car new last year, but I blew my motor with 377rwkw, it had a t4z cooler exhaust, and all the other little bits and pieces, Never got to race it :(So ive decided to put a atomic in it for reliability, I brought the new turbo and glide and all that at a good price so ive decided just to go all out on it, And u know 1 thing leads to another lol It will still be driven on the rd regally, Im sure it will shock alot of ppl when they pull up next to me Hi,I have just got my G6ET back from the Dyno and I have at the moment 369rwkw(You can see the Dyno run on You Tube, Put in 495rwhp Taxi) and I am a bit concerned that you blew your motor with 377rwkw,in the next month or so we where going to add more bolt ons to hopefully get more rwkw, not sure if I want to do this now though, how did the motor blow? Was it not tuned right? Or was it something else? Good luck with the BIG Kw.Cabbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomiCg6 Donating Members 197 Member For: 13y 7m 15d Posted 25/07/11 06:25 PM Author Share Posted 25/07/11 06:25 PM Hey mate congrats with the car, sounds mint, and good power yehh not to sure how the motor blew exactly, Could of been anything I guess, Didnt think it was to lean coz we made sure of that, I wanted more power but my mechanic said its at a safe level now, he wouldnt recommend anymore.. I did give it a belting everytime I jumed in it, literally, more then it deserved I rekon And the wknd I did hurt it, I did take a few ppl for some rides at a engagement party through out the night, without warming it up and letting it cool down, on a very chilly night, but I really couldnt tell u ?I guess some cars are freaks like Rapids and some like giving us hard times (for the better) lolBut good luck with yours, hope its a survivor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
