Bae wakeup the new Sideways_N55 just dropped! some of the best f8x content out there! awesome project I cant wait to hear it rip! keep up the awesome work!
Appreciate the love!
hey man , I'm currently prototyping a Suede shift boot delete plate for this shifter , let me know if you'd be interested !
How I wish my M135i was manual right now.
Mine is ❤ had everyone telling me how much better auto is. They just don’t get it.
Love the videos of this f80! I eventually want to get an f80 and do a top mount so this is my pre watch to see what I need lol. Dope car 🤙🏽
They are great cars for the money! Thanks for watching appreciate it~
They warn you about bigger borg warner turbos on the other kits, but I guess they dont offer a borg warner kit for the s55 is because they dont fit
Yeah they said it was going to be close to strut tower but it’s not really close at all. I cut the skeleton of the hood a bit and it clears, but think some people wouldn’t be too happy lol
Please give us a sound clip
Wisefab up next ! 😂
Ughh don’t get me started on the drift car
You mentioned that you think the IRP shifter would be too intense for the F80. Curious why? I’ve been looking at the RTD vs IRP for my F80, because the CAE is a little expensive. How do you feel about the difference between the two? Looking for intense shifts but I don’t know how the F80 trans tunnel would handle drilling and shifter support for the IRP
Irp is super tight, it’s more rigid, but in a bad way. Actually going to take it off drift car when I go through the car again lol I think RTD shifter is intense and great feeling and feedback.
Oh wow lol. That’s a strong review. Sucks cause I really like the IRP look and design. Have you tried the CAE? Will you be going for the RTD in the drift car? Sorry for all the questions but I appreciate your expertise and experience with this. This car and build has become my new financially irresponsible inspiration.
@@mon3yshiftNever tried CAE, but for the money think RTD is still worth it. Yeah going to see when RTD has a sale to buy drift car one. You won’t be disappointed it’s great design.
Man I really appreciate it. Last question, on the CAE that there are individual gate adjusting screws (for gates 1/2, 5/6, and R). This seems to cause issue with alignment during install where precision is required to avoid grinding during gear selection, and to even be able to fully engage each gear. Other than the dssr adjustment, how do you ensure correct “horizontal center” during install to guarantee the shifter slots into 1/2, 5/6, and R perfectly? Did you need to adjust anything and how did you achieve that or did you just tighten the plates, adjust the position with the dssr, and each gear + R engaged perfectly?
what spring do you have in your wastegate? Random question but if you're using a mac solenoid, are the extra bottom and top ports both plugged? (only one vs racing gen 3 wastegate set up)
Vs racing includes an 8 and 5, so 13psi combined. But need to get larger spring to meet power goals, think I can use tial springs but have to confirm.
Yeah so to my understanding there are 4 ports but you only need 1 on lower and 1 on upper, and block off the other 2. So yes they are plugged.
@@Sideways_N55 did you plug all un used ports on wastegate top hat for vacuum lines? Going through this now, you need to buy vs racings wastegate springs only. Others don’t fit.
@@EricShoots yeah so I have 1 on on top plugged 1 on bottom plugged.
@@Sideways_N55 gotcha thanks man, yeah I purchased the 18psi spring off VS racing’s website. It’s impossible to get the spring in with the wastegate mounted on the the manifold and just taking off the top hat. Def regret not doing this beforehand with the kit off the car 💩
@EricShoots ohh nice I gotta buy also. What’s your Instagram?
wish the shaft was a little thicker
😩
That’s what she said
First
If you’re not first you’re last
Honest question If I wanted to do the same setup or with some vargas turbos would the full engine rebuild really be necessary? Would be looking at around 750-800 wheel
I think stock engine is good for 700s. There’s been some a little higher, but not sure how long it would last.
@@Sideways_N55 thanks man
What are your tire and wheel specs?
18x10.5+20 with 10mm spacer to clear coilover springs, -3 degrees front camber required - 295/35 RE71RS
18x11+34 no spacer 315/30 R888R
@@Sideways_N55 is it +20 offset with the 10mm spacer or without? So would be 10.5+10? with 295 square set up?
No te37 SL come +20 in 10.5
@@Sideways_N55 Didnt know that thanks alot!
@@Guimatics sorry not squared, I forgot to add - rear is 315/30/18 but 295/35 fits square some rubbing in back, you will need fender roller.
No sound clip !!!
is it 300mm or 360mm
It’s the Mini/300mm, I think I mention it somewhere in video also
@@Sideways_N55 yeah, just noticed. Thanks! btw, did u change transmission mount to pare with this? How is NVH?
@@ericliu6692 yeah I put a set of Turner ones. I haven’t driven the car yet but have a friend who has them also. You definitely hear and feel a lot more, so if it’s like stock daily commute car I can see someone getting annoyed by it.
@@Sideways_N55 Got mine 300mm and installed today, love it. NVH increased a little, mainly in low rpm low load, engine sound/transmission sound passed thru from the front console but not too bad. No vibration at all. I'm using Rogue Engineering trans mount. I guess it's the hardest rubber mount I can find instead of doing poly mount, that will make NVH get annoying. Also I hope RTD can make an extended shaft option so that length can be switchable. Anyway, it's definitely an awesome shifter.
