About 1 1/2-2 years ago there were a few reports of Visconti kits leaking and, in some cases, causing fires but I haven't seen any recently. Probably due to an upgraded version of the kit and better installation instructions (or people stopped buying them).

I think if a lot of people have been using the kit since the original issues were reported and nothing's come up, i"m sure you're fine.

Tl;Dr original kit was crap, leaked, caused a car to burn to the ground. An "upgrade" came out for $75 to fix said issue instead of being free to people with said crap fitment already

What they said!

I see. That was version 1. I have version 2. The difference was the hose. The V1 you had to use hose clamp on one of the line. The V2 don't require that. It's plug and play and you use the 2nd O2 plug instead of tapping into the ECU like V1 to operate it. Thanks for the heads up. I knew about this already before making my decision. Thought it might have been something different.

Neal what's your choice on the three available kits...Delicious, Moto-East and Visconti? Pros and con's of each. I know its been but I want an expert opinion, from where I'll be getting it installed and tuned.

Very happy to hear you're enjoying the car! With the couple of fixes we made and of course the E85, the car made amazing power all around! It also drove nice and smoothly.

Here is your dyno chart btw:

Blue is stock baseline, green is 91 tune and red is E85 big power



Thanks

@jher so change of underwear after the drive home? Also what psi of boost were you running?

[Ed @ EQ Tuning]

This is at the wheels on the native Dynocom calibration which is relatively high reading (15% over a true low reading mustang Dyno). The car is running 9-10psi on 91 and 11-12psi on e85.

Hey guys, I have a quick announcement. Neal is no longer employed here. It's unfortunate but will be better for everyone in the end. We parted ways on good terms and I have nothing against Neal personally and wish him the best of luck in the future.

On that note, please contact me directly for any future inquiries, pricing, technical questions, etc. We have all become very experienced with the FT86 platform and I will continue to develop and innovate on this platform as I'm absolutely in love with my turbo BRZ. I look forward to working with this community on a more personal basis.

Thanks

Hey FT86 Members!

Shop Intro:

Equilibrium Tuning has been in business for over 7 years and I have personally been tuning cars of all kinds for over 12 years. We have always specialized in maintaining, building, and tuning Subaru's GT-R's, BMW, and now I have fallen in love with the FT86 platform. We do everything from general maintenance, basic bolt-on mods, complete engine builds, brakes, suspension, exterior, and of course custom dyno tuning. We run out of a state of the art 5000sq ft. facility with an AWD chassis dyno and all the equipment we need to do anything you guys want for your cars.

We have been building some of the fastest cars in the bay area and all of our employees are major car enthusiasts who love what they do and take great pride in their work. We also pride ourselves on the absolute highest quality standard when it comes to our work as well as our customer service. Weather we're building a 1200whp, 8 second GT-R, a 500whp STI track monster, a Turbo FT-86, or just doing a basic fluid service... all of our customers are valued equally and get the best quality work and customer service you will find anywhere. We always stand behind our work and do our best to make every single customer happy with their cars. This is the attitude that has made our business successful and allowed us to continue to grow into new and exciting markets.

My personal entry into the FT-86 platform started when I picked up my own 2013 BRZ as a fun project/shop car. The car now has an SBD Turbo kit and is running E85 making around 400whp. This car is being used for major R&D and is being tested in grueling track conditions as well as daily driving to make sure I get my tunes dialed in for anything my customers can throw at the car! This is the most fun car I've owned and I plan to continue to innovate and develop the platform indefinitely as I turn my shop car into a track beast .

Customer review:

I had a great experience with EQ Tuning installing my SBD Turbo. Neal did a great job on the installed. All the guys at EQ were really cool, friendly and helpful. Tom help installed/wired up my gauges and Ed will be loading the base map for Ecutek for me when I switch over. From the experience I had with them I would recommend this shop.
