Figured I'd start one of these, since I have most of my parts in, and my build will be starting in the near future.

Parts:
2 GXP wheels to be widened 1.5" to run a 295/30/19 tire.

From what over heard, the L76 cars already have better oil pumps due to the DOD. I know LS3 Camaro guys have had issues with their stock pumps, even with not much more than stock power, so I figured it's cheap insurance.

Little update....

Still waiting on my headers from Marylandspeed.

Ordered 2 TPMS sensors.

Weldcraft called me yesterday and said they got my wheels shipped out. Ended up being $551 for 2 wheels, 1.5" widening on each, and return shipping.

Ordered my tires last night. Went with Hankook Ventus K110's, size 295/30/19.

Yup, I'm real happy with the quality.

Only minor gripes is I wish communication would have been a little better. I was told the turn-around was 30 days, but an email confirmation saying they received the wheels, or a few status updates saying they were starting the work on them, etc would have made me more at ease. I ended up emailing them at about 28 days just asking for a general status update, and they told me they were being worked on then, and would be calling me in a day or 2 for return shipment/payment info.

But I would still highly reccomend their work.

Can't wait to see pictures of those wheels on the car. 1.5" should keep you safe, right? This is something I'd like to do someday. I already purchased one wheel from a dealer for $200 (it had an inch of dust on it and he just wanted to get rid of it). I'll hopefully pick up another on the cheap down the road.

Also, are you concerned about the clutch? I'm considering the "cheating" route and using a TVS2300. That should put me around 500rwhp with my existing mids, CAI, and tune but I was told to think about a clutch at that number and above. (I'm currently at ~400 give or take with no issues.)

TyG8GXP

01-19-2012, 10:06 AM

tbully

01-19-2012, 10:13 AM

What do you mean by keep me safe? Like be wide enough to run the 295's? Should be good.

As far as my clutch, I'm slightly worried about it, I won't be doing too many visits to the track, so for highway punches, random WOT pulls, it should be ok. If it goes, it goes, the car isn't my DD or anything, do I'll just upgrade to a better one. I'm sure some people are saying, "Why not do a clutch while the car is apart?". I kind of ask myself the same thing. Small reason is funds, I could afford to do it, but I'll see how it goes on the stock one, and go from there.

I'm with you 100%. Funds are my reason for considering skipping the clutch in the immediate future. It was recommended that I consider a McLeod RXT twin disc. Sounds great but $$$. :-) I too will see little to no time at the track. The car is in an airplane hanger during the winter months and only driven on occasion in the summer. (~2500mi per year or so)

From my reading, 1.5" extra width is considered "safe" from rubbing.

TyG8GXP

01-19-2012, 10:30 AM

I'll go a few times to get a #, but I won't go weekly.

I think, and are hoping as far as rubbing goes, the fender lip I should be ok, the inner fender well is where I worry. If I have to run a spacer I will, but Livernois had a GXP guy run 305's on either a widened 9.5" or 10", and they said there were no issues, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

01-19-2012, 10:50 AM

Sounds like a very nice build. The welding on those wheels looks very well done. Can't wait to see them mounted on your car and the rest of the build for that matter!

TyG8GXP

01-19-2012, 03:47 PM

Few pics...

My buddy that was installing them had issues with both tires getting the bead to seal, so it took a little longer than expected, which meant they didn't get put on the car yet.

Both tires in my back seat headed to the shop. Can you say, utility vehicle? Haha

Took actually LESS weights to balance vs the stock setup. Only 1 oz. on each wheel

Got one side on. It's hard to say since the suspension isn't fully loaded, since it was just up in the air, but it looks like no rubbing, but it does look close.

TyG8GXP

01-20-2012, 11:17 AM

Well, it's close. I went ahead and ordered some .75" spacers to push other out a bit. As it sits, they don't rub, but under dips, and turns, it'll be close.

Pics soon.

TyG8GXP

01-20-2012, 11:41 AM

Sorry for over-exposing the pictures, I wanted to give a GOOD idea of what they look like, and not dark pictures.

Anyway, enjoy.....

I could do a LS7 setup, I think it's maybe $500-700ish.

Your cars looks great, nice build!

I wouldn't recommend the LS7 setup. It works great in the Z06, but the G8 is much heavier and with the power you're going to make it probably won't last long. We originally put this in our GXP with Kooks mids, Corsa, Rotofab, and stage 1C cam with stock heads. It made 455 RWHP and the clutch was better than stock, but was still not happy when it heated up. We swapped it for a twin disc and it's been great!

The twins are noisy. The triples are actually quiet. The neutral noise isn't that bad though, and if you play with it enough, you can get the car to idle at a speed and in a fashion that doesn't make them rattle much (it's actually transmission noise being transmitted). My BC2 and every other BC2 I've known made a little noise in neutral while idling (was worse at lower idle speeds). The BC3 I have, and the BC3 my buddy has don't make a peep. However, a BC2 or BC3 is overkill for Ty's car. Lol.

I just put (okay, well Livernois actually put it in lol) an RXT in mine. Haven't had much chance to drive it yet, but it definitely wasn't noisy. Did chatter a bit, but I'm assuming that'll all smooth out once I get some miles on it. Smooth as butter up/down shifting though!

No doubt, but you get what you pay for... and you gotta pay to play. ;) My BC3 drives better than my stock clutch ever did. When I had my BC2, I beat the living hell out of that thing, and after 5000 miles it looked brand new.

Updates for those who are following this thread....

First of all, big thanks to Jeff (Maxpower), he cut a 1/2 inch off of the stock studs, and he grinded down his 7/8 drive to fit the holes on the adapters to tighten them down. Also, the nuts I got sat flush, once torqued down!

Worked great! Sorry for the iPhone pics.

Well, after some thinking/debating, I've decided, that for the time being, I'm just going to have my Longtubes/catted mids, Cradle/Diff bushings, and crossbrace installed, and wait on the heads/cam. Between my wedding in 5 1/2 months, the honeymoon, and saving for a house soon after the wedding, I wouldn't be doing my bank account a favor by spending a few thousand on heads/cam, and the install.

Change of plans. Asked my installer for a price of just the cam/accessories/headers, and it was cheap enough I'll be able to do it, heads will just wait, those alone were $1000+ including the labor for them.

Got a call form Texas Speed this afternoon along with a tracking number. Cam will show up on my doorstep Monday. Car hopefully will get dropped off mid/late week next week.

Good driveability, moderate to heavy chop, good power gains. Didn't want the biggest cam there was, and don't care about perfect driveability since it's not my DD, but it still can very much so be driven everyday. Even my fiancé who just started driving a manual a few months ago has no issue with it.

Pretty much all my goals were met with this cam.

Did that include having the heads worked? I was kind of curious how my baby cam in my A6 stacked up to something a lot bigger. And obviously I lose a couple with the auto but i'd say its still pretty close if you just had the cam in. Really nice car though you've done a great job been following a bit on your TT build and nice color choice, lol!
