no way your MPG would be 13 MPG unless you did a lot of spirited driving and make it spool the whole time. you would lose like 3 MPG driving like a normal person.

I like to drive spirited on occasion. But only losing 3mpg i can live with.

I've been running O93 and I've driven about 120 miles and last about 2/5... But I haven't been tracking, just from what I remember starting the drive at... I'll get more accurate as I progress...

I just read all eight of these pages, most captivating read i've had in a long time !! The love you put into your car really shows. I'm glad you're doing okay after the first unfortunate crash. I'm only 16 with a dark gray BRZ and i wish i could convince my dad to buy me this turbo kit! He already bought me the perrin cbe which i am in love with. Subbed to your build thread, love it love it love it!! Can't wait to see what else you do!!

[Kochinopride]

Thanks for that - it does mean a lot to me. I'll be posting some more pics and updates. I'm trying to lock in the tune to push the 20psi config... crossing fingers for the weekend!

Haha be happy you have a $26k car at 16 years old. You don't need a turbo kit.

Kochino, this turbo kit wouldn't flow well with 91 or 92 pump gas? You're running E85 correct? I would prefer running 91 or 92 on this, would i have to get it in-house tuned on a dyno or could P&L tune it for 91/92 gas.

[Kochinopride]

You can run this on 91. It's all about the tune. John @Visconti can put more info about it.

Although I come on here on a daily basis, I have no idea why I havent seen your thread. It's one of the few threads I have taken a lot of time on all pages to read. I just want to say it's amazing to see your ups and downs. I'm very excited to see how it turns out.

I have personally met Supermassive (awhile ago I came to the Pav's and met you. Had a black FRS and we were talking about your bikes as well as my Black/Green CBR 600). Your car was epic and now that someone else is going with the P&L Kit, I'm sold. I hate to copy you two especially having two FRS's out here in Phoenix with the same kit (only my tubing with be green if I can get away with it ) but it seems to me that their service and quality is unmatched.

I look forward to your updates Kochinopride. You sir, have/had/will have an amazing beast. Same with you Supermassive. I look forward to meeting up with you again! :happy0180:

[Kochinopride]

I'm sure supermassive is a great guy! I will be posting updates. The exhaust that was put on my car came from the old one and it's a bit warped, so it rattles - I bought an Nvidia N1 exhaust that should be here today - want to knock out the annoyances. Whenever the Dyno comes up (not sure when that is) I'll be excited to put videos and numbers... Running the 9-14-20 psi is going to be insane!!!

Epic. That's the same exhaust I'm getting for mine. You will have to let me know how you like it. TI tips? Great minds think alike?

[Kochinopride]

Great minds do think alike!!

I originally had Agency Power - here's the thing. I never had a japanese "tuner" car and I was never a fan of the exhaust notes they produce... The Agency Power (although a quality item) does not produce the note I prefer, I prefer a low bellow on low RPM and high pitched "ferrari" sounding note at high RPM. The Agency Power CatBack has sort of a "blotchy" unrefined note that doesn't do it for me...

I heard the NVidia Exhaust and it sounds pretty agressive and "finely tuned" with a smooth note from low to high. I'm running AP Mid-pipe and the P&L headers so it's going to sound even better!! I think I got it with the Titanium tips... Not sure I just asked @PrimeMotoring to get me one - maybe it is the Stainless Steel tips. I don't care cause either one is going to have to hold up while the flames come out the back!!

EDIT: AND! it pops and burbles nicely.!
