I/h/e/tbs

[USNEXWGM2]

Just bought a bunch of bolt ons, I/H/E/TBS/plugs/FP and some other minor things and am trying to find a RELIABLE AND REASONABLE place in the Raleigh/Durham NC area for install, I am new to the area and google really didn't help with this search. Thanks!

There is a place called A.S.A.P.
tuning here which has a pretty good rep better than the alternative which is phantasm motorsports. With just those Mods though I would install them yourself then get a tune by ASAP. The install really isn't as bad as you might think.

Thanks for the info. I just moved to the area I am in no situation to do any of the instal myself otherwise I would give it a shot. Thanks

i/h/e is easy bro. go to a couple meets and ask for help.

[USNEXWGM2]

I will def like to get to a couple meets

ASAP tuning rocks. they just had a dyno days last weekend. all that stuff is pretty easy to do yourself though.

If youre looking for meets, Sonic on Jones Franklin and Chapel Hill Road every friday night. lots of good fun.

Raleigh Friday Night Car Meets!!

where are you located anyway?

[USNEXWGM2]

I'm living in Raleigh at Four Seasons apartments. Can't make this Friday heading out of town for the weekend but the following Friday I could probably do.

[jdenmark]

hey thats right down Glenwood from me. I'd be happy to help you out if you want, 07SiMike and I are right in that area. we did all of the work on our cars.

[jdenmark]

and intake might take 30 minutes to install depending on which one it is and SRI or CAI

[07siMike]

Yeah I would be happy to lend a hand as well. Header would take the longest but really not that long at all

Awesome yeah that sounds great the whole list is CT shorty headers, Berk's HFC, skunk2 catback (70mm), Unorthadox pulleys, Engine torque dampener "Stiffy" PR2 TBS, the new Skunk2 3.5" intake which it says the battery and ECU has to be moved and it comes with what it needs for that, and of course Hondata FP, do you guys think the factory injectors are good for this or do I need to go bigger?

[USNEXWGM2]

I am waiting for a copy of my title to come in should be sometime next week then I can get my license and inspection done I'd like to do that first before the parts get put on so probably between the 25th and 30th cause I'm headed out to Wilmington on the 1st

[jdenmark]

sounds like a good list. everything looks fairly straightforward to install. how much was that CT shorty?

[USNEXWGM2]

it was about $500 with taxes. I didn't want to mess with emissions right now..First car I've ever done anything with so I figured I'd start out basic with bolt ons and see where it takes me after that. If I can't the last week of this month I can get together the 2nd week of July

[07siMike]

Stock injectors should be fine with that set up your gonna be nearing the max though. Anything else like cams you're gonna need new injectors

with flashpro you can override the CEL you'd get with something like the Skunk2 Alpha header and in NC theres only an ECU test, not a visual test when it comes to inspections so no one is the wiser on emissions because the computer says nothing is wrong

BUT with an HFC you wont have either problem, I have one (thanks Mike) and never had a problem with emissions or CELs

[USNEXWGM2]

Nice, cams and injectors is something I want to get done in around September-October. I've heard/read that headers can take some time for install, how long do you guys see the headers actually taking?

[07siMike]

I would say like 2 hours to do the header maybe a little longer depending on how much of a pain in the a** the bolts decide to be

[glxygreysi08]

OP, what I did to be emissions legal here in CO (we have a visual and a sniffer), was I had the Berk HFC welded to my buddyclub race header. That way I have power with a true 4-2-1 race header (rather than just a shorty), and am emissions legal. Of course, this will require some cutting and welding, but it's nothing that a reputable exhaust shop can't handle. Just an option for you to think about...

[USNEXWGM2]

2 hours isn't bad at all, I was definitely hoping it was a one day deal for everything, I actually installed the SRI that is on it right now which was easy but I had the tools to do it which are with my brother in Nebraska, The Skunk2 CAI will be a little more due to having to move the battery and ECU, I have thought about a true race header but for now I'm going with shorty to have a true bolt on set up until I get a little more into cams and things like that then I will eventually move to a race header to get a little more power out of it. Things would be much easier without all this emissions garbage.
