I don't mean to sound whiney, it just isn't optimal for my setup.

What you want is basically to .... use the stock runners without modification. Or shorten the runner length.

Funny, this was what I argued with guys over around 15 years ago, on the low port/high port SR20DEs.

@mav1178 I can arrange for an independent 3rd party dyno that has stock FRS/BRZ baselines.

Already baselined in the MotoIQ article... although we should decide how to classify this mod in the context of 86Cup.

I know of a company that has custom molded polycarb parts on a scale that would be lower than what this would be and their end user price for a kit with multiple molded parts and some springs. Total packaged cost with shipping less than $40.

Polycarbonate is an excellent material. It should have a variable runner length effect due to the thermal expansion.

You could, but you're way better off waiting for the turbo version.

Well, it would be more for the purpose of independent 3rd party verification, but I think I Have a rough idea of where it should be point wise for 86 CUP

Apparently you completely missed my picture filled thread with bold text showing that my math was exaggerated and wrong showing an extremely close result from a third party test. So let me try this in your ettiqute:

So you cant F'ing read and are jumping to BS conclusions?!!?!?!?!?! F'NG IDIOT l2read fggt.

Ooo that was fun. I should do that more often!

If you get a chance to drive a car with our BPB on it then you will see how much quicker the car actually is.

I am probably being pedant here but the Audis aren't a great example as they went to the diesels for economy reasons, less stops for fuel over a 12 or 24 hour race adds up to a significant improvement in average speed. That has little to nothing to do with the average BRZ/FRS owner.

I do however think you have a great product here and they are definitely on my wish list. Ater I have bought a tune they will be my next purchase.

Do you have distributors in Aus?

I'm also interested, but would like to know about compatibility with RHD cars first since they have very different routing of wires.

[continuecrushing]

Hmm...in for magical results

[troek]

from what i could tell from the pics, all the wires that get raised up seem to be in the same spot.

haha, im sure you just had a type-o and forgot the a in front of pedant, but it resulted in a very ironic joke. Or maybe you meant to do that, which in that case is very clever and i thank you.

Let's do it. But if it's weekday you'd have to take the car.

Weeknight or weekend ok with me.

Haha! I wish it had been an ironic joke. It is 100% a type-o. Good catch
