Posting my build to share with whoever might be interested.

I am more of a lurker on these forums so this list basically mirrors a lot of other builds.
  • AMS Flex Fuel Kit
  • AMS Injectors (Stage 1)
  • AMS High Pressure Fuel Sensor
  • AMS HPFP (Stage 1)
  • AMS Downpipes
  • Mishimoto Intake
  • Mishimoto Catch Can
  • Z1 Exhaust
  • BC Racing Coilovers (true style)
  • Z1 Adjustable Suspension Kit
  • Z1 Undershroud
  • Z1 Transmission Pan Shield
  • Z1 Rear Diff Brace
  • Z1 Sway Bar Set
  • Z1 Adjustable End links (front and rear)
  • Z1 Rear Subframe Tie Bar
  • Z1 Front Subframe Chassis Brace

The tune was done by AMS via Jotech and all fuel related parts were installed by Jotech

For anyone who has done these downpipes, I am sure you feel my pain.

Awesome results! I have similar build. Upgraded AMS 3" Full street catted downpipe , twin disc clutch kit lightweight aluminum fly wheel 3" Track exhaust Including whiteline Sways+ end links and Swift lowering springs plus Voltex Type 4 1800mm wing all to address downforce and handling on curves rollong on F 19X9.5 265s +17 / R19X11 305s+10. My dyno tune was with a E60 due to mix of pump 93 and E85 not full tank of E85. I noticed after filling tank completely E85 the acceleration is intense.

Thanks.

By chance, do you have more pics of the wing? I am curious about the mounting. Just drilled?

What was the final cost of your build?

I am not sure of the exact amount, but it was expensive to get to this point. For sure, it was over $15k.

Not exactly sure how much I saved but doing some of the install myself (i.g., exhaust, downpipe, all suspension, etc.), but still expensive.


🙃


I def could have saved a significant amount if I opted to stay away from full E85. It is marginal gains for a huge increase in cost (I would not have needed to get HPFP, sensor, injectors, flexfuel can, etc.), but I didn't want to mix at the pump as I am lazy to drive to the next pump over. And I'll still need to occasionally do pump gas anyway to help clean and maintain.

But overall, I am happy with the build. Expensive, but no regrets.

Great numbers, and props for doing the FDPs yourself - it's a badge of honour. How many cuts did you have on your fingers afterwards?

I wore gloves the entire time, but had a few cuts on my forearm lol. Didn't notice till I took a shower after.

I am glad I went full downpipes though.
