The idea of this build is to enhance what's already there however, parts must be purposeful and somewhat proven at the track.

Brake fade was handled by installing DBA rotors, SS brake lines, and high temp brake fluid. FYSA, the stock pads will melt a bit at the track (had to get some life out them before I installed the Hawk pads). Credit goes to FT86SpeedFactory.com for a legit brake setup.

Lateral G's increased by HKS Hipermax SPs. These coilovers out perform their looks.
Attachment 150128

Well everything wasn't exactly for performance unless looks count?
Attachment 150126

The oil cooler kept things relatively cool. After four 20min of wide open throttle there was nothing to worry about.
Attachment 150131

Fender liner modification for oil cooler.
Attachment 150132

Bumper modification to let air get to the cooler. I need to make a bigger hole. . .

Checked temperature using HKS Carscope.

After about 14 hours of labor, I was able to complete the install of the GT Supercharger. Keep in mind that I am by no means a grease monkey. So someone with experience can probably get this done in half the time.Attachment 150114

Here's a picture of the engine bay

Radiator cut out. I didn't cut enough of the radiator support. Put a piece of rubber pipe to keep off metal on metal contact.

Picture of MAP sensor. I'm currently waiting on a good sensor so I drive the car. I think I received a dud.

This canister purge solenoid was kicking my behind. Below is a picture of it located under the intake manifold in the back of the engine. Its the hex bolt peeking out.

I plan to do another exhaust clip with the supercharger installed. As of now I have to wait for a MAP sensor to come in. Hence I left the cover off.

I want to reiterate that this is a well engineered kit. It bolted up as if it was a factory part besides of the modifications to prep for the installation (that's another story). I am impressed with the fit and finish of the kit. It is superb! If only I could get a good drive . . . to be continued

Here is a short clip of the HKS GT Supercharger v2. The car runs great and the power is incredible. Delicious Tuning delivered a spectacular tune.

Driving about testing RaceRom. Warning low quality video.

Beat-Sonic provided the tablet mount. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy TAB 4 which was too small but a cover gave it more height to fit.

Nice build. Any recent videos?

I plan on getting the V3 sometime in the future. Not sure if I should go with the HKS included Flash Editor or with Delicious Tuning(e-tune).

Thanks. HKS changed the supercharger bracket which on the v2 was very tedious to install. Maybe it will be a breeze for the v3. The tune would be a hard choice. But speaking from experience I have had zero issues with Delicious.

Yeah I'm hoping with the V3 there is less cutting/modification for it to fit.

Seeing the HKS owners thread with all the failures as well kinda turned me off but im still very interested in the kit now with the revised V3.

Looking forward to your build :thumbsup:

Talk about HKS fanboy! :p

Just kidding. Nice build. I have that same brake kit, and it works great.

Yeah I'll admit, HKS has a soft spot for my money. :lol:

Oh, yeah the pads are insane compared to stock.

I was impressed how well the Suede Mat fit. I think it adds to a retro feel.

Road Atlanta June 11-12 2016

This was my first track event with the Supercharger. The car held up through two days of abuse without a problem.

Road Atlanta is a high-speed track and the FT86SpeedFactory brake upgrade kit held up multiple laps without any noticeable fade.
