Buying an AGP today as soon as they open! Will continue to update as Build goes.

Not a terrible idea to add a set of DEI or equivalent turbo blankets on the exhaust side of the turbos, along with JetHOTT Ceramic Coating (Turbo 2500) of the manifolds. I mean, if you want to go ALL out on heat protection.

I also wanted to say thanks for making such a great kit and doing things like the coating upfront.. When I was deciding between this and the helion. I ask about 5 speed shops around town and they mentioned that top mounts needed coating and blankets to control under hood temps to guard against paint possibly getting to hot and to control temps. I had no idea AGP was all ready coated where it needs to be.

I really wish people would do proper research and see everything the AGP kit comes with. It really is above and beyond anything else on the market. Lots of little things that come with it to be a complete package.

On a build like this, I'd get them coated while everything is apart.

Both together are a winning combination.

You decide who's going to do the install for you yet? After going through the whole process there's a few things I think Hellion could've done better. Your setup comes coated, mine doesn't. Yours bolts directly to stock exhaust manifolds. Mine replaces the manifolds but I had to buy mid pipes to connect to my cat back.

It's gonna be good when it's all put together!

Kick ass build. Thanks for sharing with us. I'm following. You're going to have an awesome ride when it's done...

Scott was nice guy thanks for letting me know about his services I got the manifolds coated blk to match the AGP kit.

I will use HPmotorsports I talked to them Saturday night at the toy drive, It made sense since the guy buying my Eforce is using them and both cars will be there at the same time.

Don't have the money for e85 yet but atleast Jrod and Jr are open to exchange labor for my NIB AFCO. I'll just have to get injectors.

When you find the lowest price on 1300s let me know maybe we can get 2 sets lower than 1.

thanks..

Any time!

That def makes sense. I've heard good things about HP, I've just never used them before.

So far FORE has been the cheapest I've found for injectors. However J-Rod told me to get id1700s. He said they were tuning a ZR1 on e85 and it was running out of fuel at about 900hp on id1300s. So you may want to bump to id1700s. Either way, I'm def down to see if we can get a deal on a couple of sets. I'm ready to order now.

[Unreal]

Making 1200rwhp on e85 on ID1300s. if They are running out of fuel at 900hp they have major issues that aren't the injectors.

Either way, 1700s are same price, so no reason not to do them.

Matt@FSP or Dave@DSX have the best ID pricing.

Taco, you can get away with ID1000s/bosch 127s/etc as you don't have enough kit to need much more expensive injectors/. Save some money elsewhere to pay for the coating/turbo blankets/etc.

[EDFHOBBIES]

Unreal what number should I get 1700 to?

Not sure what you are asking. 1700s on e85 should support ~1500 or more just fine. 1300s will do 1250-1300rwhp just fine too, they will just be at ~90+ DC and you need to have fuel pressure up higher.

That makes me feel better! I don't have the complete story, but I plan on calling FORE and discussing it further with them.

What is DSX? I'll call them and get prices.

I saw this earlier! you got those bad boys dropped off quick!

Matt likes the DW injectors too. Worth looking into.

Like I said, if you got a different brand kit which I think you did, kit will limit you before needing over 1000cc injectors, so you can probably go cheaper than EFD as his kit will support 1500rwhp so it makes sense to go big now.
