First post here.
Just gotta say congrats to you guys for working on this kit, and making it require minimal modification of the car itself. I do however have a few questions since its been forever since I have built an FI car (had a 98 Supra...in '99) so I feel a little ignorant and probably backwards as far as some of the things that were common place back then.
With a turbo setup like this with the electric oil pump is a turbo timer recommended to prolong the turbo life or is it not necessary?
Would this setup benefit from a lightened flywheel/clutch pack? I notice that if you rev the car hard that it over revs when you let off the throttle and was wondering if thats a byproduct of the electronics controlling the throttle or if the flywheel/clutch are the culprits...basically since this turbo kit produces power to redline it runs a greater risk of over revving into the rev limiter if you decide to shift at redline versus shifting earlier (stock power output declines before 7k rpm) if it is the flywheel/clutch.
Once you have figure out the boost/power maximums on the stock engine with all parts stock, will you please do a test with this setup with a full aftermarket exhaust, just so those of us who will be running such a setup have an idea of how much of a gain we can get without cats and with less restrictive pipes we can get? At least before you guys go full bore and build the monster we all want to see
I'm sorry if i come off as out of touch, but in reality I am. This is the first car I've owned in 12 years...during my drought I've owned 3 trucks and my main hobby has been my motorcycles...I just bought a 2012 Aprilia RSV4-R and getting that ready for track duty has been my focus, now its the FR-S's turn
