Aeroflow but I had to modify the top brace quite significantly to make it work. There are better solutions out there where the brace goes long the width of the battery rather than down the length.
I would be VERY curious to see this, especially with a graph of the curves comparing stock turbo and MHI on stock fuel system.
We are very lucky to have you do all this work and willing to share the info. 🙏
Fantastic work Jester.
Are we universally in agreement that the MHI turbo with fuel line mod (stock HPFP and injectors) is a worthwhile gain over the stock turbo on a circuit/track car application?
PB posted. But not entirely satisfied with the pace, track did feel a bit slow and greasy but the car felt great in terms of handling balance. The Tein coilovers are superb...
Paragon rotors and Project Mu HC-CS pads fitted in prep for upcoming track day.
Initial impressions on street; lots of bite straight off the bat, hardly needed to bed the pads in to feel the bite. Seems I'm getting into ABS threshold with less pedal pressure. Will see how they behave on track...
I also made a thread on this if you do a search. The engine would buzz and vibrate in two waves as it went past 2-4k rpm. It almost felt like a car that had its balance shafts out of phase due to a bad timing belt install. I'm happy to report that after several track days I no longer feel the...
A note on the Spoon spring spacers, I've now installed several sets of new release Spoon springs (now have thicker and higher quality black spring insulator on them) and have discovered they no longer sit low in the rear.
So for anyone who have the new release springs, you do not need the...
That was very hard to watch... I'm so saddened by this but I'm glad you shared as it serves as a wake up call to all of us who track regularly. The risk is always there and that could have happened to even the most experienced driver.
Glad you're ok. I'm confident your next build will be even...
Updates have been slow... But Tein Mono Racing Coilovers are in, and PRL lower motor mount.
I also replaced the stock front rotors as all the track abuse has caused excessive clearance in the rotor bobbins resulting in a horrible clicking noise occuring when turning. This is all sorted with new...
I think they could have run the exhaust ports from the head like K series of old on the firewall side of the engine. This would mean a shorter exhaust system altogether but the main benefit being all the hot air is not inches away from the radiator and millimetres away from the inlet piping all...
Just grabbed this screenshot from Acuity's instagram page.
You can't really see much but enough to know that the intake is no longer being routed above the turbo with extended hoses from the valve cover ventilation going towards the front of the engine.
The premise of this design is the best...
You dont happen to have the data log showing the HP fuel pressure CMD vs actual on the stock map do you? Interested to see what the stock map is running in terms of FP.
Acuity look to have an intake design in the pipeline that reroutes the intake instead of over the turbo like all the other...
This is excellent - an extremely rare opportunity to have an owner and a proficient tuner with the vehicle's and its owner's best interest in mind, and also the flexbility of tweaking things to ones specific mods.
The sad truth is that peak numbers sell tunes - but this is the wrong approach for...
