I was kinda thinking the same thing. I was reading the thread yesterday about the Proformer X IM. I like the sounds of that.

I was not certain if I would need a new ECU so it can be programmed to better accomodate the mods and/or to better map the air/fuel ratio. And on that note... should I be looking to swap out the stock ECU now with only having the B20 swap? It drives fine, but i feel like the power curve drops off around 4-5k RPM.

And on the trans part, I am afraid of any other trans unless it had an LS 5th. I have heard the same thing about the high revs being a problem. Maybe someone knows more about this... I have the stock DB1 clutch (what's the name for it?) and I am running 4,000 RPM at 80MPH. I drive almost all highway miles to work everyday. This has always concerned me since doing the B20 swap...

 

Got bored so I went through so old photos and made a little timeline of how my engine bay has looked since 2006

 

2010 was the best year ^

 

Each picture doesn't represent a specific year. I just know the first was 2006 and the last was 2013. In order it would be 2006, 2008?, 2010, 2010, 2011, 2011, 2013, 2013. Not sure which photo you are specifically referring to

Ahh ok. I got tired of all the red. Plus the motor and trans were covered in grease which was just nasty looking. Pulled the motor, re did everything to where you can practically eat off it

 

Gotta luv old school!

 

still planning on making it to this? Anyone else down?

 

What day, at the end of the month I'm taking a road trip to pa and could pass through on the way

 

Agreed Paint matched pay FTW!

I wouldn't do the Performer X on a daily driver. Keep is simple. Go with one of the cheap manifolds that replicate the OEM Type R or just keep it stock. No tuning will be needed. The stock ECU with an o2 sensor can handle the mods I'm talking about.

The power curve drops off at 4-5k RPM, not because of the ecu, but because you have a b20. Nothing wrong with the PR4. Maybe do a 94-95 LS ECU (P75) and convert to obd-1 if you need to.

Just do the short geared trans with an LS fifth gear. If you don't know how to take the trans apart, find someone who does and just pay them to do it. It'll be worth it. first through fourth will feel like a whole new car. there will be a drop off in fifth gear, but you'll be ok with that when your driving to work. Just shift a little higher than usual in fourth.

 

dangit! That's IRev at MIR!!

 

Finally wrapped up the front suspension stuff with my car this weekend and finished a few odds and ends. Drove it Friday night after getting it all done. It was a blast but drove like an actual race car with how much toe is in the car right now. Gonna hopefully get it aligned tomorrow or so if my buddy has time.

I was so excited to get it done.

I put a new oil pan gasket on and noticed it was leaking a bit after I drove it, thinking pan might be slightly bent since this isn't the first gasket leaking in that spot, gotta check next time I drive it.

 

Would you guys put this on your car

 

My bucket

 

Thanks for the input. I will work on the small mods first then work on tranny... unless the tranny decides to dump before I'm done LOL. It IS stock with 210K. I saw a few videos of pretty much the same set up and he was running with a DC/DB8 GSR. They were pretty much equal. And that's really all I want. I miss my DB8 GSR . It was fun and the perfect amount of power for a daily.

 

loving all these Da9 everyone

here is mine

 

What are those 18"?

Looks good besides the big wheels.

 

Yea i bought the car with them..

will be getting 16x8 +25 stance mindset in gold to swap them over..

 

two wrongs don't make a right.

 

Yech, not my cup of tea. I'd rather have 14" OEM wheels than "stance" anything.
