Page 103, the issue that has better than sex on the front ..
he's got a pretty stealth looking lude, mugen body kit .. no clear lights etc. you couldnt really tell it from stock at a glance, even his air intake isn't all chromed up .. he probably opened up the pipe but it didn't say in the article .. anyways, here's what he did :
guy works in a tuning shop so he's had time to play
USDM H22:
+XS Ecu that goes to 8500RPM
+A'pex V-AFC
+rev-limiter because he apparently downshifted from 5th to 2nd at freeway speeds .. (oops?)
+KG/AD special head combination .. translated:
the combustion chambers were welded and the ports were hand polished by kurt gordon,
+type-s camshafts
+type-s valve springs
+0.5mm oversize stainless steel valves, crower titanium retainers .. "My **** is revvin' on the rizzeal, yo."
+Spoon cam sprockets
+Vortech fuel pressure regulator
+Factory Intake is modified, he didnt say how but its filtered through a spoon drop in, rc throttle body, hand ported intake manifold.
+Spoon spark plug wires,
+Spoon radiator cap
+DC sports header,
+Aries Special "super hi flow" cat converter
+GReddy SP exhaust painted / hi-temp low gloss black (his cars black too so its super stealth yo!) the article and his ghetto talk are annoying.
+ACT Xtreme pressure plate
+Energy Suspension motor mounts
+TEIN HA coilovers, pillowball mounts.
+spoon front tower bar
+powerstops hawk plus brake pads
+16" mugen mf-8's
deadly ... what does half this **** do ? anybody want to break it down and explain it for the rest of the people who don't know all the advancements to this stuff?
(mainly me ..
)
lik welding the chamber etc .. i know the n/a stuff but spooning pistons, camshaft, springs, sprockets, ecu, titanium retainer, stainless steel valves .. fuel pressure regulator? radiator cap ? (accesorize ? or does it do something ) and what about porting and polishing? I know it does little but whats the benefit?
thanks ! (this could be a novel of an educated post.) w00t
