Apexofthevortex Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 moore blast plates, OEM gears (all + main bearings) with REM treating from Rallispec. Are those the same blast plates that are made for the 5-speed? I was looking into getting a set to throw on when I need a new clutch but I wasn't sure if they'd fit our cars. Any noticeable difference in shift feel since installing the blast plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 ^^ I think the blast plates needed some machining to fit our tranny case properly.

I was looking into getting a set to throw on when I need a new clutch but I wasn't sure if they'd fit our cars. Any noticeable difference in shift feel since installing the blast plates? Same as made for the 5 speed. It required some customization as the blast plate got in the way of our funky trans located engine mount. Also one of the bolts wasn't long enough so the shop ended up buying a 2 foot long bolt and cutting it to size. Can't comment exactly on a difference in feel as this was part of a trans rebuild and I was without the car for about 2 months so it obviously felt way better than the exploded transmission.

GtCesar Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Intake box is in. Made sure to leave room to relocate the BPV when the RacerX charge pipe goes in. Went ahead and had it powder coated too. Best of all I removed around 2' of intake piping (weight reduction ) Before http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=153345&d=1369971598 After Acumenhokie Where did you get your airbox from i have been looking for one like the one you have for my set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Acumenhokie Where did you get your airbox from i have been looking for one like the one you have for my set up His setup is a one off custom intake.

acumenhokie Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 His setup is a one off custom intake. He's tuned speed density, not MAF based. Correct. It's a AEM filter/intake purchased from KStech mounted to the samco intake piping. Box is custom fabricated and connects to the factory air inlet. http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=210380&d=1433818778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Haven't noticed a difference in stopping distance but I don't have many miles on them so far. Definitely a noticeable improvement in pedal feel so if nothing else it makes me feel more confident. No squeaky at all.....yet..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
