Josh's G6 2009 2.4L

[JJT*90]

As I said Ghost that is just off of the top of my head. I doubt that I remembered everything. If you have any questions on details just ask.

I don't know about overhaul, but somewhere down the road I would like to swap out some internals. I was mostly listing out mod possibilities for Ghost with that post.

Minor update-

I put a K&N drop in filter in the G6. Installing the pulleys is now on hold. I was planning to use a buddy's lift, but his car was just stolen and totaled. He has it back, but it has to be fixed for Friday's competition.

[Ghost]

oh. and sucks what happend. what does he drive?

[JJT*90]

It was my buddy's RB20 swapped 240sx.

[Ringo64]

Ouch! How was it stolen? It was totaled and he's fixing it up for a show?!?!

Wow that's dedication

[JJT*90]

We don't know how it was stolen. Its not a show. He drifts it, and there is a local drift competition that he is entered in. Its a $90 non-refundable fee, plus he had to bring the car up to specs.

Interesting... How badly is the car damaged?

[JJT*90]

Broken axle, rear coilovers are done for, rims are trashed beyond the point of holding air, and some body damage.

Edit to add, the muffler is crushed, and that's all I can recall ATM.

[Ringo64]

Wow, seems to me losing the $90 instead of repairing all that in jiffy seems like a better plan

but more power to him, hope he gets it done!

[JJT*90]

Well, its his first event of the season so he's a little itchy to get out there. Plus his daily driver is down for repairs so this is his only car. Luckily his parents just bought a new Suburban so he is driving their Ford E350. Besides the repairs won't be too bad. He is buying most of the parts off of one dude for $50 (iirc). Plus he has the stock suspension, which he plans to use for the event and cut the springs. Keep in mind this would only be for week or two at the most so its a viable option. He also has 6 spare sets of rims and tires, so he's good there.

Now on to my car.

There was a huge storm today and most of the streets here flooded. Good news is, I didn't have any issues with out the silencer on, since it is also designed to prevent water from entering the air box.

[Ringo64]

Well guess it all falls together then, good for him.

In all honesty you're good running without the resonator. For water to get up into your intake it will take a whole lot of unfortunate events to happen or you're just sitting in high water. Which if the latter would happen you have a lot more to worry about than what a resonator could save you.

[JJT*90]

Well the car is done, actually it has been for a bit. I'm going to throw up some photos of his car here in a little bit.

[JJT*90]

Lol, I just came back to this thread and realized that I never found and posted photos. Oh well.

On to real news!!!!!

I installed the pulleys today. Also MRZ screwed up and sent me a UDP.

Still need to decide on Amp, sub, and speakers. Any input is welcome as I am out of my game here.

[Ringo64]

I've never been a fan of single dins, just something about them make it seem more worth while to dual or stay stock.

Crutchfield is an awesome distributor though.

If you want cheap subs I have 2 I think they're 12s sitting at my house. Problem is I have no idea if they work but I'll give em to you cheap. PM me if you're interested

[JJT*90]

I don't want to lose the DIC, so I'm probably getting single DIN.

Thanks for the offer Ringo, but I think I want to go with a single sub.

[Jedi3]

you wouldent loose the dic some people reloacate it to the glove box or center console.

[JJT*90]

Eh, I'd rather keep it on the dash where it is.

[JJT*90]

Well, I just got a Metra unit and 1 Farad cap for $150 shipped.

I think, I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the head unit and steering wheel adapter.

[JJT*90]

Well, I got the grounding kit installed finally. I need to finish tucking a few of the wires though. It seems to help with the lights dimming.

[Ringo64]

Nice!

[JJT*90]

Thanks.

Update!

After driving her around today, I noticed that the rpms at idle were only about 700. 'll have to wait and see if I notice any other benefits.

[JJT*90]

Here are the pics!

The setup I ran was

Alt out to Bat +

There may have been one more, but I can't remember off of the top of my head.

[JJT*90]

Well tranny issues. Copy from other forum.

I have a 2.4l with the 6 speed auto. I believe it is the 6t40-e tranny. Once I get the car warmed up, and go to WOT, the tranny is having issues shifting. It will rev and hit the limiter, stay there, them shift real hard, slamming into gear. It literally causes the car to lurch a bit. This happens mostly with the 2-3 shift, however it will happen during all of them. I was having issues tonight with the 4-5 shift under WOT. Sadly I can't really check the 5-6 since the car is still limited.

Opinions? I'm thinking maybe fluid, but I'll leave it up the the experts. It may still be under warranty, so I need to check that first.

[Ringo64]

#1 check if you're under warranty

I don't think it could be the tranny fluid. How many miles do you have on it?
