DarrenDriven's Asphalt FR-S (sold 1/17/15. Portland OR)

I'm not going to find the combo of AEM intake, Innovate S/C, Rev Works UEL, and Perrin everything-else... so I'm just gonna jump right into the pool without dipping my toes.

Possibly AEM intake... I like that it looks near OEM.

About time you get the exhaust, headers, and intake. You should have the most mods of anyone since you have your own lift.

Subscribed.... This is the kit I've been waiting for. To bad I've spent all my mod money on other things while waiting. Hoping they will offer an intercooled version.

DarrenDriven I have no doubt you will love this. My previous ride had a roots SC on it. I loved it. I think it will be the perfect power adder for the twins.

I've owned a few turbo'd cars before and liked them... loved my GReddy-turbo'd S2000! I think that the FR-S will be a lot like the S2K, but with the flatter torque curve, should be even more enjoyable. Now if I could only drop the top...

How much beer would be required to take your car around the block once this is installed?

When are you installing it? Can I come watch?

[DarrenDriven]

Sure... not sure of exactly when yet, I need to get the rest of my exhaust components here first so I can tow the car to PRE for the tune immediately afterwards.

Haha, I missed that the first time... not sure yet. Let me get it tuned first.

Finally someone who will be able to keep up with me

So how much do you think this will affect fuel economy? I know with a T/C if you're out of boost it's not too bad, but with the S/C it is always boosting. I'm sure that's not really a concern for most but it was something I was wondering and would weigh in when deciding on something like this.

Ahhhh, you cool with having the same car? I have the Perrin 3", Rev Works UEL, and the Innovate S/C all on my bookmark bar as 'To buy'. As soon as they come out with a 3" front/overpippe (hopefully).

Also, with the 3" exhaust, is the 2.5" outlet on the rev-works an issue?

I might go for an EL Header for a silghtly different sound. Depends on what yours sounds like in person.

Oh I'm subscribed! I've got the RW UEL and Nameless axleback and love the sound.

I'm also very interested in this S/C kit, so I cannot wait to see your results.

Subscribed!! I also have the RevWorks UEL header. I really want this kit!!

Not so. You will have the parasitic loss of spinning the rotors but with the bypass valve you don't build PSI until manifold vacuum drops to 0 and shuts the bypass. So yes your MPG will drop a little from driving the rotors but the load is minimal.

So basically the only thing that is going to affect gas mileage other than the minimal draw from another pulley is the weight increase an S/C causes in your right foot...
