Midniteblue's Grabber 5.sl0w Build Thread

Looking good. I've been to JPC before but never inside their shop

Thanks guys. Yeah, while I was waiting I asked Aaron if he could give me and my buddy a tour. Real nice guy that knows his stuff.

Just picked up a DSLR yesterday and got some pics in before the sun went down,

So fresh, so clean!

RTR wheels + grabber blue = win.

Thanks guys! Looks like Longtubes, O/R H, and a set of coil overs are on the mod to-buy list and I think I might just be done after that...for now LOL. Really thinking an S550 might be in my future next Summer, but who knows.

Playing around in Photoshop and installed the rear caliper covers that I had powder coated.

Also, ordered a shorty O/R H-pipe, going to wait until next week to order a set of JBA Longtubes. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll have those installed along with the Borla S Axlebacks.

Ordered a set of JBA Ceramic Longtube headers today. Gonna install them along with the JBA O/R H and Borla S Axlebacks after work on Thursday using a friend's lift. Really anxious to see how much of a change it's gonna add. Might get a video on my camera and post it up depending on how well it captures audio.

Here's some pictures I took two weeks ago,

I love everything about that car

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

Installed the JBA Ceramic Longtubes with JBA OR H pipe. Also bought Borla S axlebacks off of Gabe to tone it down a bit. Loving the sound so far and the extra power. Install was a lot more difficult than what most people portrayed, but well worth it.

Did you drop the k-member? It's cake with that out of the way.

Nope. Wish I would have known that. I figured it would have had the opposite effect lol.

Nope, with the k-member and motor mounts out of the way it's wide open

your 02's are in the wrong spots.. use the bung block offs for the upper 02's and put the top ones at the bottom of the collector and your rear 02's in the h-pipe.. If you need more room to extend the front 02's there is a clip at the top of the trans that will free up about 4-5 more inches of extension.. the reason I say your 02's are in the wrong spot is because your top 02's are only reading one bank of air, They need to be in the collector and read all 4 banks per side

I see what you are saying however, why would JBA even put a spot for O2's there? And doesn't the tune just disable the rear O2's anyway?

 

[stang8psi]

right.. I have no idea why they put them there,but there's no way for the front widebands to make any adjustments for the fuel and motor if it's reading only one bank. And if your rear o2's are off in the tune than you can just unplug them and plug the holes.. Thats what I did on mine.. I just have the front wideband 02's in and the rear is plugged with 02 bung plugs.

Just got ahold of Aaron@JPC and they are sending me a revised tune that will have a few adjustments along with the rear O2's being disabled. So looks like I'll just unplug them and install bung plugs. Appreciate the input man.

Very sweet ride!

Is there a noticeable difference on the butt dyno with the longtubes

I can definitely feel where I picked up the low end that I lost with the Boss intake. Haven't really had the chance to test the top end yet.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I'm sure once you get the re-flash you'll definitely feel the difference. I've been meaning to have a e85 tune built from JPC but I don't even have time to drive my car so it's pointless.
