Hi Saldala quick question, when installing the JLT intake to the 103 TB did you have fitment issues with the silicone coupler ? The one that came with my Jlt intake doesn’t fit the 103 TB
The exhaust should be the same until the mufflers. So you can change it, but your rear diffuser won’t accept the quad tips. You need to switch out the diffuser as well to make it work.
Thanks! And no, apparently the stock plugs are good for E85. A lot of people change them because they crack during the header install, but I had no issues. And roughly 450whp on 93 and roughly 480-490 on E. We didn’t dyno just a street tune.
My car is tuned with HP tuners. No unlocked ecu needed. I also have a manual. We don’t have a transmission computer that needs tuned only the autos deal with that.
How does that work? As far as not needing an unlocked ecm because of hp tuners. New to the 10speed game and looking to get tuned on a similar setup to yours.
You need credits for the tune, and a separate set of credits for the trans tune. The trans tune can definitely help but a stock 10 speed already is no joke. I know of some guys that just tune the ecu and not the transmission but that’s up to you.
@@Saldalaperformance I just bought the mid x pipe from speed engineer I just need to get the headers for it! Where can I go to get just the S.E headers?
If you watch my oil change video I specify that dexos 2 is only for cars running the stock catalytic converters. I don’t run dexos 2 because I don’t have catalytic converters. I run the 0-40 European formula that has better anti wear additives and costs significantly less than the supercar formula (formerly known as the dexos 2 product.)
@Saldala Performance wrong again. I'm a thirty year tech and it is not for the cat it is for the engine and what it requires due to how it is built and what it's used for. go spout your bs somewhere else
Just because you have years of experience doesn’t mean you can’t be wrong about something. “Dexos specifications are required for your vehicle to meet the latest emissions standards and improve fuel efficiency.” Dexos is a detergent standard to keep your emissions system clean and functioning properly. I also wouldn’t doubt it’s part of a bigger gimmick to sell you a product only GM wants you to use.
However, even if you’re an evil Disney villain who turns his nose up to emissions standards and fuel efficiency doesn’t float your boat, you should use Dexos oil for any engine that calls for it. The reason for this is that the engine is configured in such a way that Dexos oil specifications help it work as it should. Dexos oil is also specially formulated for proper lubrication, sludge reduction, friction level moderation and controlling temperatures - the latter being especially important in vehicles with turbochargers or superchargers, as they create more heat. Coincidentally, due to the engine downsizing trend, the number of vehicles with forced induction (turbo or superchargers) has been increasing rapidly. Dexos oil specification for GM vehicles also provides a global framework that enables GM vehicle owners anywhere in the world to know which oil is right for their vehicles, instead of making different blends for different regions as was often the case in the past. But Dexos goes a step further. Aside from meeting the current API (American Petroleum Institute) and ILSAC (International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee) requirements, Dexos oils were developed through additional testing that provides reduction in piston deposits of up to 28% and a slight improvement in fuel efficiency compared to the API and ILSAC requirements.
