do you have the link to the group buy??? what is the basic cost... and will your original kit fit a two door fine?... or will your friend sell headers for the legend... like i said i need BOOST!!! anything i can get...

if anyone knows where to get headers, CAI, or a nice nitrious kit... 2 bottles perfered... jsut let me know plz.. thankx latzzz
 
you need to search man.

headers are not made (yet), no one makes CAIs anymore (real ones), nitrous kit can be ordered from nitrous express, ZEX, NOS, etc. You do not need two bottles. Stop being a F&F follower and start knowing what you are talking about.

the engine bays for coupe and sedan are exactly the same, so any kit that fits a sedan, will fit a coupe, the only thing that might be different is the intercooler piping, but the way he has done it (underneath the front support frame) will allow it to work either way without any problem

other than that, labrat. why in the HELL did you run the IC piping under the front frame? You ought to take a look at those two little tow hooks right behind your front bumper. Tell me if they are ground down a little bit. What do you think is going to happen to a thin walled steel pipe when you bottom out the front of your car? That piping is going to crack, dent, break, etc. Forget turbo manifolds, fix that problem first.

Aren't you the dude that came on here several months ago talking about having CF grilles and such made up and then disappeared? What's up with that?

Whats up guys? I am just selling my kit on my car-no duplicates will be sold of this kit. I can give you some info if you want. It is not the best setup, but it works( I made 35whp gain with 5.8psi and I am now running 7.5psi no problems). I will take offers, and the highest will take it. I agree that the IC piping is jacked up- if I knew it was going to turn out like this- I would have done it myself. The piping is prob. the biggest prob for spooling up fast.

Peace, K
 
yeah i am that guy.... there was not enough interest... unlike what ppl would like to think...

there was not enough interest for me to produce it... the cost would be to high and probably about or 2 or 1 of you would want it and i would be stuck witht he other 499 or them.. that is the only reason i didn't make it..

sorry i didn't post a reply i thought i did but from this i guess i didn't... SORRY once again..

o yeah... rangerjoe... i know i have to look and i have looked i ust wanted to HOPE that someone would know where i can get headers and stuff like that... truly i am not a newbie and i am not a F&F follower... i have done this for many years before that movie came out...

i have many friends that worked on that movie as well and were in the movie so plz do not use that as a tool to lower ppls standards... i don't want to just comes on here and about your comment... because you don' tknow me... but i would wish that you would have the curtisey to just say stuff like that towards me... or anyone else on that matter...

and if you notice my car is kindof showy.... so two bottles probably won't even be connected... i don't know how it is in oakahoma but in LA if you are caught my cars a cube!... i don't wanna spend $24k on a 1x1x1 CUBE!!!..

anything you want to responde with plz just pm me don't put crab like this on treads man... keep it cival... that's my piece... paYCe :werd:

You are only 21, the move came out in 2001, so you were about 17 (maybe 18). How would you have been doing this for MANY years before the movie came out. Right. If you would just search, you would EASILY find out you cant get headers, because no one makes them. The only two sets that have ever been made the engine produce less hp/tq. So I am sure if you really want one of those, you could find it (but probably not)

bwahaha, ok man. You are proving only bad things by claiming that your friends were in the movie. I am not using it as a tool to do anything. It is more of a saying. But apart from that, there is absolutely no reason to have two bottles of nitrous. (even for show purposes)

Why would you pay the money for two bottles of nitrous, and not even have them hooked up. Yet another rediculous law in califonia. :giggle: If your car is for show, spend the money on suicide doors, or scissor doors. Not fake nitrous bottles (reminds me of the subwoofers built into nitrous bottles :vomit: and what the hell are you talking about cube? Are you talking about having nitrous on your car, or being caught racing with the nitrous. I have no idea what you are referring it, but maybe that is because you CAN'T SPEAK IN COHERANT SENTANCES.

Threads are here for discussion. There is not much more to talk about. All of the questions as to how he made the kit, and what he did to make it have been answered. So I can post it here. Besides, some people might like to read my responses (maybe).

Chill man, if this were a topic that had never been talked about before, then I have NO problem helping out someone that is not knowledgable on the topic. BUT. For a topic such as this, there is absolutely no reason to ask about it, because any and all information on the subject can be easily searched for. And I should not be reprimanded because I tell another noob to make a search, instead of asking in a thread (not to mention making an off topic post) Besides, I did answer his question. so HA!

Hey Kyle,
Did you ever ask the shop guys their reason for running the IC piping like they did? Not a flame or anything, but I keep on reading about how some people on this board only comment that it was done wrong, although I do see their point, I have not yet read one question that asked "Why." So, why did they do it that way? Maybe they had a reason, maybe they didnt. But I would like to know.

Does anyone remember the pics of Gary Depriest's twin turbo setup? I'm sure you all do, but remember in one certain pic, he had turbo manifolds right there. I guess I'll do a search, damn, here goes hours of reading....

it's spelled Sentences.
and i think he is reffering to getting his car impounded and crushed for street racing.

The rest of it, was dead on.

your car gets crushed if you street race? that sucks. yet again, another reason califonia (the peoples republic of califonia :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: ) is the worst state in the entire country.

That might suck but at least they can legally have sex in more than one position.

The best explaination for that IC piping is lack of planning, and the wrong recc. of parts by them. I have no other good reason to explain for it. I can tell you it does get in the way- it gets hit on big dip ect.
I re dynoed hehehhe.

honestly just say this... you have your opinion and i have mine... you don't know how it is in the import scene and i don't know about whatever you do... so let's jsut let it at that and forget this BS... if you want to forget it jsut say so... cause i hate having ppl just complain and about what other ppl say without knowing them...

FYI the import scene has been there alot longer than F&F i was doing this since i was 14.. just to let you know...

cause i do my for show and if you did/do show you know what i am talking about...

paYCe!

PS I have already drop this
