This gets me excited.

Don,

It looks great, I know how in the middle of a build you think, wow that would really be cool, better, more cost effective...

Keep up the good work, and that was brilliant routing the hot side around the bumper support, I didn't realise there was that much room. lol

Its a tight squeeze. I kept silicone in those areas so that they do not cause any harmful abrasion to the headlights or its components.

This is what this car needs!

I don't want a 1000WHP FRS!

Looks amazing!!

Can't wait to see the end results.

Will the piping need to be different for us RHD guys!?

I know that we have the battery on the opposite side to you guys :S

But the F-series are much like the EJ's for anyone who hasn't seen the insides of them.

You really think 1G of force downward is a concern to a piston's life cycle?
The piston ring failures largely come from the tight rings from the factory. The hyper eutectic castings are also brittle in failure, so a good detonation and failure yet again. It's all compromises that the EJ25 had to make to fit a decent rod ratio with a short deck and meet cold start emissions...the piston got the short end with it's shortened compression height.
Boxers all have a bit of an oily start up and some smoke from them sitting in their oil whenever shut off though. Unlike most engines, the oil puddles at the bottom of the cylinder and will collect in the rings, which under start up goes out the tailpipe, all the more reason for the tight PTW, ringlands and ring gaps to pass EPA and Euro testing from the factory.

As for Accelerated, it'll be interested to see where this goes!

That looks awesome! I cant wait to see the HP increase.

Plus that you guys are in Ohio. When i get my car I'll definitely bring it to you guys.

Its only a 9 hour drive

A 600whp BRZ would be nice!

To much power IMHO. You wont be able to enjoy 1st-3rd gear unless you have really sticky tires and you wont be able to get on the gas coming out of turns unless you want to go side ways.

I think many high HP cars have multiple maps you can switch between depending on the amount of power you are hungry for. I'd love 600whp, but only every once in a while.
