My 2013 turbo 4gen build thread
Ok so I figured it was about that time to start a build thread. I have enough pic's to keep the thread going for awhile so here we go.

I grab a 5spd 4gen from a local member for 500 with a stillen exhaust, sts, popcharger, alpine radio and upgraded shocks and struts. My plan was to use it as a daily as gas is high and my current daily was a Armada which sucks.

The plan was 3.5swap or boost and seeing how 3.5 are expensive now and almost always burn oil, I went turbo. The goal was a very simple vafc2, 370cc injectors, 8psi and 350-375hp as this is my dd and I need the gas mileage to be good.

Yeah I was going to keep this as a DD and make a track only maxima for this event. It appears they are not going to have the event which means no track car. So with that said I have a few parts that either need to be used or sold and since lately people seem to can't even give stuff anyway I figured best to keep it.





rear wing deleted, vafc2 installed and 240 rear strut bar modded and installed. installed a front strut bar too but they isn't anything special

well I'm still n/a but in the snow or ice useless, around 40 they are average but 60 degree's and above they dead hook. Seeing how they are summer tires when warm they feel like my mickey thompson dr's

So I'd said 10 but fyi my buddy has a boosted max and dyno'd at 415fwhp and even on 255/50/16 MT DR's he lights them up in 1st when boost comes in, spins thru 2nd and hooks in 3rd
