Hi guys,

I'm posting some news. At my last exit on track last 23 march, I was surprised, in full straight line, to have metallic weird noises. Ouch ...
So I slowed down. And without gear, the motor made no noise. There was an ugly metallic noise, only when I put a gear, and that I accelerated. There was also a marked loss of power, as if the pipe after the compressor was out of the slot... No oil pressure loss...

Back to the paddock. Check: no oil leak, no water leak, engine idling had no problem. I found nothing, and saw nothing ... but no power.

So I dropped my car at my favorite tunner: http://www.glracing.com.
The diagnosis was quick : unwelded Catalyst inside my manifold.

That's why the gaz can't go out, and the loss of power.

For information it was :
Fujitsubo Manifold Super EX
https://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/prods/de...04773/00001473

I bought that manifold through Suruga Performance in japan.
I contacted Mathieu Devert, the Sales Manager, and requested some help.
But Fujitsubo said, that manifold is not compatible with my car & law in japan. And I have no answer for last week...

So, as I need my car, I accept GL Racing Solution : a new "SUPER MANIFOLD with CATALYZER R-SPEC for 86/BRZ" HKS Kit.
Code No. 33005-AT006
http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/produc...haust/db/15165

Now the photos...

The HKS manifold, the HKS front pipe with catalyst, and my old fujitsubo overpipe I use again...

The big catalyst

The HKS Manifold

The front pipe

the front pipe probe

All well installed

My car is dirty since my last drift track day where I flyed in a pool of duck...
I need to wash my engine and below

Anyway, now my car is back to life and a bit more noisy for heating.
When hot the Fujitsubo catback is still singing as deep as before on idle.

And if I release the horses, I found all the pony and I think the gas out better. The sound is a bit more pronounced at full load at 4000-7000 RPM.

I missed a track days the 4th april, but I m ready now the next one

Have fun
