The Importance of using a Magnetic Oil Drain Plug

 

 

These is the main reason why I'm Using these Wonderful Oil Drain Plug.

Since i did all of these hard work, decided to also do some oil change

I have change my oil and decided to use this Hi Performance Shell Helix Ultra Racing 10W-60 full Synthetic Oil, this oil is recommended and used by Hi Performance cars here in Europe Including  Ferrari F360 along with my oil I've added the K&N Oil Filter HP-1008

 

 

I've also changed my Royal Purple Performance Brake Fluid, for this one, According to my friend who does Hi Performance vehicles this is one of the best Racing Brake Fluid in the European Market.

 

I Also did a custom 4" Inlet Intake plus my Greddy Oil Catch Can, as well as repainting my valve cover on red again

 

 

And i also Ended up like this, "full of SHIT"

 

 

After all of these improvements the car runs like a champ, I'm very impressed with the AWR Transmission mount, I've notice that the car launches better, and definitely is helping me to put the power to the ground, no cabin vibration Feels just Awesome

In this Dyno Session car did 372.96 whp on pump gas at 15 P.S.I. After Moving from Miami to Spain I Have added bigger injectors, Bigger Injection Jet for the AEM Water/Methanol Injection Kit, raise the boost from 15 to 25 psi with a more aggresive street tune to the Haltech E6X.  You can see the new numbers below on the Recent Dyno session video..

 

 

Here is a Little preview of how this monster moves and looks like, this video was done entering a ramp to the highway on a big uphill, sorry for the shaking of the camera but is very hard to hold the camera with 2 fingers and the streering wheel with remaining 3 and do a good recording and driving, car have to much torque and power, and as you can see i was spinning tires from 1st throught 3rd gear considering i was half throttling, because at full Wide open Throttle car will stay still running on street tires..

 

Here is the Latest Dyno Session Video of this Titanium Devil, car did 474.8whp and 366 Lbs Torque at 25 P.S.I on Methanol Injection. even though the car maded some good numbers we were having some issues with it, we had a huge leak coming from the injectors O-Rings and Intake manifold gasket producing a considerable leak, also some sort of heat soak from the intake being right at the turbo breathing the very hot air from Radiators fans and insane turbo temperatures, this dyno pull was done in 5th gear because basically the car had no traction and were spinning tires like crazy at all 4 pulls in 4th gear we did, Thank you for wathing and enjoy.  

 

 

Another video but this time with a custom colder air intake, and the Intake manifold leak fixed running at 25 P.S.I on Methanol Injection a good video to see how this Titanium Devil performs from 0-150 Mph
