Neganox's Cats Can't Drive v2.0 Build

Dropped the car off at Brubaker with two car loads of parts about a week or so ago. Josh called me and said car was leak checked cold start checked and was good to go. Granted it still has a drive-to-the-dyno base calibration on it, but it got home with no issues. Ajay unfortunately caught a case of the covid so remote tuning will be done for a bit until he's able to get back on his dyno. Ended up playing it safe with the pulleys and picked a 2.9" upper and 8.4" ATI lower (pinned the crank too!)

If you're near Jacksonville, FL and have an LS platform that needs work, Brubaker is the shop to go to for sure. Many many thanks to Eric Coleson for doing all of the work and for fabbing the heat exchanger and reservoir brackets.

i like how it looks ..... stock the only giveaway is the filter on the catch can


but #fuckGM

I think they make a mounting solution so it'll tuck behind the blower cover/near the firewall, but it would be a pain in the butt to empty. I could also ditch my windwasher reservoir and move the heat exchanger back a bit and then hide the blower coolant reservoir in that covered space behind the strut tower.
 
You know it's gonna be an interesting day when you show up to tuning and the first thing your tuner says is, "You don't have a radial on there? This is going to be fun." Tuning complete with a nice conservative tune. We'll see what it'll do with a slightly smaller pulley in the future. On PS4Ses it'll hook in 3rd if rolled into it. The car is an absolute blast to drive.

Red graph is from the baseline 10.5* pull on pump, blue is e85 on 17*. Both were on 9psi.

If that's referring to Brubaker, that was a recent change prompted by some douche-canoe mustang owner leaving them a 1 star review for not immediately installing his rear-end gears and gawking at them not providing a warranty on customer provided parts from a customer they've never worked with.

Josh's patience be like:

Time for some upgrades. 6 piston fronts from a CTS-V gen2 and 4 piston rears which match whats on the car now, but powder coated bananadick yellow. EBC slutted rotors and red pads.

Cat for attention.

assuming that we are looking at the outside of the rotor, that is an interesting design that the vanes are open to the outside not the inside.
