My first nice car was a "G"alant ES which was fun while it lasted. I did a couple mods here and there
Before

Haha congratz, looks nice. I love sleeper cars, especially luxury models :) You get some punk kid in souped up car revving on you and then you just crush them off the line, lol!
I'm on the fence right now about picking up a Mini for gas purposes, or just going for a 350z. I really like the z's profile, and much like your G, it just totally looks like a car an adult would drive if you know what I mean. This is a reason I got rid of my Corrado, I got tired of the tickets and looking like I was still in highschool lol.

Is the second car a Galant too?
Never mind. I see now. Doh!!
Nice G35. I like the Infiniti. My parents drove matching Q45s for a long time. They're nice but like most other luxury sport sedans, they can be expensive when it's time for repairs and maintenance.

That turbo is going to be sickly. The new g37 is pretty sick too. It's amazing how a few simple mods and truly transform the look and feel of a car.

SVEET! I've never even heard of a rear-mounted turbo?? What's the advantage; cooler exhaust temps=more power, or is there just not enough space under the hood? esplain if you would, please.
Beautiful Ride!!!

As much as I love VW the GTI just doesnt gel well with the image I'm after. Its a little to youthful for my age.

Thanks bro
One of the biggest advantages to my kit is the HEAT! You are dealing with half of it with the turbo being outside of the engine bay! By doing that, you dramatically drop your intake temperatures and increases performance. You are up to 90% efficient by the time the air from the turbo enters the Motor making it slightly above ambient.
The other big thing is Turbo, Oil and Engine life. When all those components are exposed to heat for extended periods of time it decreases the life of it, Specially the oil and if the oil breaks down it don't protect so it also breaks down what it is protecting. Reliability and ease of installation. Being outside of the engine bay will make it easier to work on the system and leaves a lot of room under the hood for regular maintenance. There are so many advantages that I can't list them all.

Wuhahahah, sneaky sneaky. Thinking about one of these set-ups for my 00 Silverado 4x4! You should get that intercooler anodized black so no one suspects a thing till they hear you whistling away! It should sound really cool, lots-o-turbine whistle. No muffler, right?

Nope :) The turbo acts as the muffler!

Very clean car, the rear turbo kits are really kicking in lately. There is a motorworks company called Currency Motor Cars that tunes BMW M5s with a twin turbo system and it makes 850 horsepower. I like the subtleness in the styling because people go overboard with body kits and stuff, drives me insane, you gotta love the black too. Post some dyno numbers when you get that thing tuned, I'd love to see em. What are you doing about fuel and what are you using for your primary tuning device???

I have a Walbro pump, 440cc injectors, stand alone oil pump, ect ect and my fuel pressure is doing great. I dynoed at 383 rwhp :) I am using Greddy Emanage Ultimate and the tech is using his laptop to do a lot of fine tweaking
Here are some pics, yes I will be getting some nice black mesh soon!
