Well, I might as well give an update to "Phase Two" of the project
Not much in the way of pics or vids but I know DD/BB is working hard on my build. Wish I could be more hands on but this was the best way to get done what I want done to the X in the time frame I have.
As you all know about what is going on with the suspension mods, the ol' gal needed a heart transplant and a few other modest mods. So, here is the list of what's going down.
Phase Two:
-2015 VK56DE V8 and transmission set with only 500 miles on it (UpRev tuned through Dynosty in Louisville, KY)
It pretty much has everything I needed to get the swap started. I did have to pick up the hoses, upper/lower Pathy V8 shrouds, Pathy V8 Aux Fan and various Pathy V8 small parts but everything was there to build off of. I am using my Rugged Rocks 180A alternator (planning on an upgrade to the 250A or 270A model down the road. I am also using my CSF radiator (upgrading to a Ron Davis down the road as well). Will be using my current drive shaft with some mods done to it (will be upgrading to a JE Reel custom driveshaft and CJD 1350 to 1410 adapter when I re-gear in the next year)
LevelTen Bulletproof Custom built RE5R05A Transmission with Paddle-shift Valve-body/TCM
-2015 Titan Transfer Case from the same donor Titan Pro4X
-Stillen VK56DE Supercharger (second to last one sold so all the issues have been worked out)
-Injector Dynamics ID725 injectors for VK56DE
-JWT CS2 Cams with upgraded intake and exhaust springs
-Audi R8 50K volt coils with custom VK56DE adapter harnesses
-JBA 6400S Long-tube Headers (Ceramic/Titanium coating)

-Cajun Exhaust resonated b-pipes

-JBA Armada Cat-back Exhaust (modified to fit the X)

-V8 Pathfinder Instrument Cluster with Custom LED Swap and white face Pro4X gauges
-V8 Pathfinder shifter and center console with parking brake relocation
-2013 Pathfinder heated steering wheel with auto ON/OFF headlamp option on the turn signal stalk
-See-It-All Retrofit HID lamps with Halos (Currently installed except for Halo drivers)
-2013 Frontier radio bezel and HVAC controls
-Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX w/ iDatalink Maestro Mod (Focal Speakers and Alpine Amp and powered subwoofer audio upgrades planned in the not-too-distant-future) (Installed JL Audo ZR100 Tweeters to replace the RF ones a few years back)
Pretty stoked to have it custom mapped with several use-selected maps from UpRev. My current UpRev has the custom maps and love it.
This is it for now. I'm sure there will be more to come. Stay tuned.....
Scored the full center console with shifter and boot cables, bezel, 12v outlets) and e-brake for a great price
It cleaned up really nicely
Can't go wrong with car-part.com
This will get the LED color swap with white Pro-4X gauge faces
And the parking/e-brake relocation. Gonna miss the e-brake handle
