The landscape has changed for domestic cars, that's for sure. Nissan GT-R R34 V Spec is one of my all-time fav cars. However, by the time they're legal here, im sure they will carry a price tag of near $80k. It simply would not be worth it.
I mean, thats Evo power with similar mods on a...
The FA will be going into the STi in the near future and that should kill off the ej series finally. That would be the only moment in time i would consider owning an STi again. The Fa is stout, like i stated above and can easily take 400/400 on stock motor with some e85.
Hey man, i see you have Brembos on there, any clearance issues? Are those 19s? I was looking at the ES1, but worried about clearing the big brakes up front.
All of the test and tune is great, and i enjoyed reading the updates. However, it gets somewhat boring. Any kill stories yet??? :D
Also, have any of you paired this up with the PMAS intake? Stock TB and/or Gt350?
After seeing countless videos of simple bolt-on and e85 FA20s (new WRX motor) making near the 400whp range, i was impressed. I would for sure daily one if i could afford that plus my S550. They're stout little motors, much improved over the ancient EJ series that still finds itself in the STi.
I was mainly concerned about the intake and coupler, which has since been mentioned. Of course i could get some more power WITH the 350 mani, but that could also help fund this kit purchase, if sold. :D
Try relocating the o2 sensors on your SP headers. There are known issues with them burning out on e85 in stock location, the bungs need to be welded in at an angle so the condensation from the corn can drip off and not just sit there.
I have a couple of kill stories myself! I raced a ZL1...
I understand what you're saying, but why would several big name tuners who are familiar with the setups and fuel systems say not required? It just doesnt add up to me. Hell, i have a set of 47s sitting at a friends house, but Lund said no need. I do plan to eventually put them in, but for the...
