Looks sick without the grille and a front mount man. Congrats on the kit!

Lol the more I look at that bumper bar the more it looks like teeth in the "mouth" of the car

Well with the help of John Visconti, we found a couple of mistakes I made with the fuel pump and the #4 injector. All I can say after driving this thing is...holy shit! This aint your normal FRS anymore. It drives civil enough below 3500 rpms but past that your in the boost and the car pulls hard. Mind you this is just a base map, with e85 and a proper tune this will be scary fast.
Johns still here tweaking things so I gotta get back to driving

That's super exciting man! I hope you guys are having fun! I would totally pay for a plane ticket right now to be in AZ tuning a turbo FRS, than to be looking at mine through the window of my house as the temp is about 1 degree...sigh...

So after a day of mostly ups and a couple downs, tuning my car on our junk 91 Octane is done and John is off to other adventures. What can I say about the performance?
This is how the car should be, it's civil around town putting along at normal speeds to stay cool with Johnny Law, but when you drop a gear and plant your foot you have gobs of power that pulls all the way to the 8200rpm with power still climbing. I am anxious to get this thing on a dyno and see what I am putting down. The open waste gate dump is loud, I mean race car loud. This will wake the neighbors a mile away so it's clearly not good when you want to accelerate hard without making a scene. People will jump into bushes and children will cry...which make this that more fun! I havent had much time to really play with this but it will definitely require retuning of my brain to drive it quickly through twisties. My Nitto Invo's (255/35/18) squirm under the power right now in third gear, I'll have to let some air out to see if that helps it hook up. The way this car revs now is similar to a 1000cc sport bike, whack the throttle and you're bumping the rev limiter a second later, so heel toe downshifts will also take some getting used to. All in all this car is much more insane than it has any right to be, and I'm not even in the turbo's ideal boost range yet. |

Can you share more information on what was done wrong on the fuel pump install so I can avoid it when I try to install my fuel pump. Thanks.
