Awesome build! need pics of the supercharger install!!

Liquid-to-air intercooler, eh? Interesting...

Pics of installed head exchanger/intercooler please

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Very nice package you have going on there. I hope you'll have pictures up of the finished project.

Ben is away and hasn't seen the car yet so asked me to post some photos up for him! Hope he enjoys. The install by S&J went very smoothly and the car looks and sounds great. Tuning will hopefully be completed tomorrow and we can post some results.

We both are very proud to support Australian business, and to show off local aftermarket solutions for the ft86. It's past time I did a sound off to all the Aussies so thanks Bullet, AVO, S&J, Morpowa, MRT, MCA, Whiteline, ACS, Turbosmart, Garage 88, Carmods, 86Drift, JDM Concept, Elite finish and the dozens of other shops and people who've contributed towards our cars.

No matter where you are from around the world, you hands down must check out products from Bullet (Innovate), AVO, MCA and Whiteline. :thumbup:


Looks very tidy!

Nice! Did you have any trouble with the exhaust?
Looking forward to hear how it sound with the Supercharger fitted and also see some dyno charts!

No problem whatsoever with the exhaust sir! It looks and sounds amazing. I need to double check the muffler hangers tomorrow but that just due to my complete lack of trust in the oem hooks.

Some small video will go up soon but more in the next few days/weeks.

That's great!

There's an Italian guy (he actually lives in the UK) that is insterested in fitting the AVO turbo on his car.
Our over-pipe back kit should fit well, as you've seen both the kit and the exhaust can you confirm this?

How much power can you pump out of AVO? I'm a bit worried the 2.5" diameter may be a bit too small, but at the same time it should be ok to avoid lag.

Here's a cold start video

Idle and 4K rpm rev & blips

cant tell you how big the smile on my face is : D

Rev it more!

I don't want to derail this topic too much but AVO kit has plenty of power potential. The exhaust does get restrictive and fitting a 3" overpipe is tricky as I'm sure you know. 2.5" and the stock airbox are good for 350+ whp though.

Good to know, thanks.

Awesome work guys but PLEEEZZZEEEE swap that front number plate holder for a slim-line one! You are killing a work of art :mad0260: :happy0180:

Don't worry fred we'll get it sorted. As always with our cars mechanical first, aesthetics second. :)

First results in

edit ... updated pic

Looking good guys. I'm loving mine with a tune and E85 (+ header soon) so I can only imagine the fun you are going to have in your cars :confused0068:

I love the car, next year I'd like to get the s/c as well.

We took the wing off today, it looks so much better! This thing looks & sounds ridiculously tough, these pictures don't do it justice. We'll try to get some new video/photos up soon.

Wingless is much better, I agree...

I second that... wingless is the best.
