Finally ready for a solid tune and dyno. My next update will be a few weeks out, but it will be a good one :-)

Simple pressure testing rig. Credit to @mkivsoopra for the idea. It worked great. I was able to find one minor leak and fixed.

AEM gauge mounted.

Looks great! And thanks for all the tips for my install.

I'm not sure if you have really gotten a chance to test it yet but how do you like the exedy clutch? I am assuming you have the stage 2. I am having a hard time deciding on which clutch to use when I get tuned on e85 with my FBM kit. I just have a hard time justifying the cost of an FX300 and want to explore my options.

Oh I have tested it for sure, with and without the turbo. It is great in both cases, glad PTuning recommended this clutch. I have the stage 1 organic kit with lighter flywheel. Clutch pedal feel is stock, but the catch (or grab) comes on quicker and stronger than stock of course. But its not overwhelming in traffic driving at all. PTuning ran this clutch up to 400whp and they said it didn't have any problems catching with that much HP. I think its rated for 320TQ, but most I've talked to say Exedy underrates the full handling capacity.

Don't think I said this before.

Awesome work and awesome turbo-ed BRZ man.

rb6freak · 03-23-2014, 01:56 AM

Short update. I've decided I will be installing a header and ditching the stock manifold. Once PTuning releases their header I'll be jumping in on that. Also planning on getting their oil cooler system. For now, I've installed a new radiator, vacuum manifold and boost gauge. Still working on some additional items which I'll post more on later. Lastly, I will post some dyno results on the second week of April.

Formula Drift Tech Day 2014. Thanks to YoSpeed and Speed Driven Media for the shots.

Some of the new goodies.

Draining the oem radiator in preparation for Koyo radiator.

Out with the old.

In with the new.

Vacuum manifold.

Some shaky video of in-cabin pulls and dyno pull at the end.

I test drove RS*R's Scion FRS and I was pleased with their Sports-i coilover suspension setup. So I placed the order :-) Thanks RSRusa for the test drive!

This week I installed new radiator and heater hoses (HPS) to go along with the new radiator. I also threw on Whiteline rear endlinks while I had the car up.

Oh snap! One step closer to getting track ready ;-) More goodies and updates coming soon.

rb6freak · 04-09-2014, 01:54 PM

Installed the RS*R Sports-i coilovers yesterday. Didn't get a chance to drop the car and check ride height yet, but I will today.

Captured some video footage of a canyon cruise with a group of twins.

You're still on the stock header atm?

Yes. Waiting on PTuning to release theirs. Should be relatively soon - month or two out.
