S475 upgrade to s480 question

[Chevy1925]

You keep complaining about that lb7 down pipe lol ive never had a problem with them you just have to get creative.Had a cali model in here awhile back giving my partner and the owner trouble ......I had it out in 10 mins:spit:

i dunno man. it took all brian and i had and 3 hours to get mine out. those damn bolts were NOT coming out lol. i cut a wrench, i tried different ratchet/socket combos, extentions, wobblys, about all mine and my dads tool box offered. came down to a long wrench in bad positions and lots of weight to get them loose.

I use a 1/2 flex head and sometimes need a small cheater to get them loose and im in the salt belt.I have broken some off before tho,that really sucks drilling and taping lol

 

[blk smoke lb7]

I thought you were referring to getting the down pipe in and out.

 

[hondarider552]

I remember that dreaded down pipe!

 

[Chevy1925]

Na gettin it out wasn't near as bad as breakin them damn bolts loose

 

[mackthehack]

Done yet? How much $ do you have into this upgrade?

 

[Chevy1925]

Lol nope. Maybe next week. Ill have 300 bucks into it total

 

[mackthehack]

Damn! I don't even have my 475 on yet. And I'm already thinking of getting it hogged out to an 80...

 

[Chevy1925]

Hahaha you will be plenty happy with a 75, trust me. It's half the reason I'm not rushing to change it. Thing flat hauls ass just as is!

Good to know. Have been debating on swapping from the vvt to a fixed 364. Or even doing the batmo/port and polished stocker. But thinking I'll run it as is when I install the 475.

Hmmnn all this talk about machining and such, glad I just went to the 480 for my twin. Looks like not too bad of a job, just a PIA. I was hesitant as I really don't want a bunch of lag but I'm hoping the Batmo helps this out.

Interested in how it spools and drives for you James. Keep us posted-if you ever get it done that is.......

 

[Chevy1925]

Haha Ill get r dun soon. Had I known I had to get the back plate machines I wouldn't have bought it but that's what happens wheni assume and don't research.

This heat just pulls the drive right out of me to do stuff round here.

Move to Canada or Alaska, the cold will drive you inside the house!! Although it has been in the '90's and really really humid here lately.

[trailler2004]

nobody?>?

 

[Chevy1925]

Couldn't tell ya but starting your own new thread might help you out a bit more

hey James, V bands take me about 30 seconds to get the hot side off my kit.

 

[Chevy1925]

Yours also probably has a nice little o-ring to seal it off. Not so much for me. I have to make a paper one everytime and re silicone it, then take the bitch down to get machines. When I get things repowdercoated this winter I'm gunna change it over to a o-ring seal flange

 

[adeso]

you need to take that IHI out of the valley

 

[brandon06dmax]
