How do I get 1 ?

I work at a Dyno Tuning shop here in Vegas-

"HOT RODS AND HORSE POWER"

and Have argued with our Tuner,and just about everyone else here about
this !

I emailed "Rob Lexa" a couple times about getting a Kit and becoming a Distributor ?

Well I don't know how else to get a system for my FR-S ?

If it works I know my Shop can sell and Tune quit a few here in Vegas .

I've read to many pages of Crap along with a few pages of useful information

Any help with "WHO" is selling these would be Great . I plan to give in a complete unbiased opinion with multiple dyno runs with correct A/FR's.

How does the Dyno video read a correct AFR with a O2 Sensor on the outside of the exhaust system ???

Pm robftss for ordering information. There are no may kits left. Target mid June for the next batch.

Rob is working tirelessly to get the may kits out on target with mid May

Cooling mod update:

Both @nlowell and I have our cooling mods installed.

We both believe that the cooling method is working, but do not have empirical evidence to back this up... yet. Of course the weather hasn't been as nuts the last few days.

Upon further review a exhaust vent would help in conjunction with the inlet. I'm working on a few ideas for this one.

I installed my 1.5 kit today. The materials and parts in this kit are of a very high quality. Even nicer then the beta kit.

As far as performance, I don't want to overstate this, but it really kicks. The difference is immediately noticeable, especially as rpms climb above 5000. I'm sure it will improve over the next few days as the new 9ah batteries begin to condition. I'm almost as excited about the 1.5 kit as I was with the original ESC installation. It's that good.

If you're ordering the Phantom, just tell Rob to send this kit too.

I was wanting to wait till I had some of the supporting mods installed and tweeked out before ordering, but from the looks/sound of it I had better go ahead and order if I don't want to be back ordered to next year sometime. looks like this will be the same situation as shiv and the OFH. demand is outstripping supply.

I appreciate the 1.5 dump kit inovation, I just wonder about later updates or mods to the system. I think the larger capacity of the full dual dump would be better than the 1.5 if Rob ever offers a larger motor/compresser, or even dual compressors.

*edit. thinking about it, if we ever could go with dual compressors, if you relocated your starter battery to the trunk you might be able to fit twin 1.5 packs in the stock location.

This is exciting to hear. Thanks Gary!

The dual capacity charger will recharge the battery pack faster, but more current means more boost, which means more fun.
