Re: My 2004 Comp G Loaded. Updated Parts And Double DIN Coming

Stay tuned for tomorrow guys.

If all goes according to plan which it should, I might be getting an early Christmas present tomorrow.

Its a big electrical upgrade and is probably the most expensive upgrade out of the three ;).

I am really excited for tomorrow. I will hopefully be picking it up after school.

My day is going to feel so long lol.

Will post some pictures once its installed.

Re: My 2004 Comp G Loaded. DOUBLE DIN!!!!

Alright guys the time has come and I finally have the Double Din installed. Its a Pioneer AVH-P2400BT

I am loving it so far and I also have the XM receiver, along with all my other adapters. I lost the date and time on the DIC but that does not bother me that much and the date and time show up on the touch screen.

Re: My 2004 Comp G Loaded. DOUBLE DIN!!!!

Guess what arrived in the mail.

I know I am going to bombarded with "should have made your own" or "waste of money should have made it yourself"

This is what I wanted for my car so be it. Plus it looks awesome and K and N makes awesome intakes.

Plus, its a Christmas present and I have to wait to have it installed. Although I might get it earlier but I can wait abit. To make you guys happy, yes I will be doing it myself with some assistance from a mechanic that my dad knows. He will help me put in the intake and has all the tools that I dont.

Who knows? Maybe I will learn a thing about working on my car and in the future actually do stuff like this myself without taking it somewhere else.

That will honestly take you 5 minutes to install.

Its very straight forward.

Youll have no problem putting that on.
 
Re: My 2004 Comp G Loaded. DOUBLE DIN!!!!

One word of advise on the K&N. Don't over oil the filter. The oil pass through can contaminate the MAF with oil. This tends to mess up the MAF input to the PCM.

We used to run K&N filters on the race engines until my engine builder showed me the dyno numbers. I got more HP out of a 4" paper WIX filter. The inside of the engines didn't show anymore wear when the engines were tore down for rebuild. 700+HP Dirt Late Model engines aint cheap so trust me when I say that there is no real performance gain running a K&N but on a street car, they have a certain cosmetic appeal over a standard air box.

Sweet ride ya have there. Interior is awesome.

Thanks man. I think the filter is pre-oiled and K and N tests these filters with multiple MAF for optimal performance.
 
Re: My 2004 Comp G Loaded. DOUBLE DIN!!!!

yes but eventually you'll need to re-oil it and that is where the tricky part is.

optimal performance. lol.
 
Re: My 2004 Comp G Loaded. DOUBLE DIN!!!!

Brandon is dead on. The filter itself works. Its the human side that jacks it up and wrecks its performance

"Optimal Performance" I know XD

But I am sure what you know what they mean like its MAF safe.

I cannot wait for the whine

I might get like 1-5 hp but it looks cool and opens the supercharger up. They claim 16HP gain from "dyno" tests but I doubt it. We will see. But I am sure I will notice a some sort of difference.
