Where you compared the vortech to yours, his was pump and yours was e85 correct?

Swift was on a mix of ethanol and pump, estimated to be approximately 50% ethanol content.

My best attempt at eyeballing, here is my dyno before (93 octane at PAS in Richmond) and after the innovate kit:

safe to say you'd pull a vortech car out of a corner easy

i'm impressed

Congrats swift! Great to see some numbers coming in from the Innovate kits. I will be interested in seeing how your tune progresses considering these were on E50. What PSI are you seeing?

I plan to get this thing dialed in once I figure out if I'm going WMI or waiting for the intercooler upgrade.

The pulley is suppose to be ~7.1psi but my MAP sensor seems to max out at 5.3psi so I can't validate with 100% confidence but it reaches the 5.3psi by 4500 rpms.

Small Update:
- I make stock peak torque at 2500 rpms, seriously..I'll tie a rope to your house and tow it away leaving only a Japanese flag standing ()
- Ordered a Perrin Oil Cooler (Black)
- Trying to arrange a time to get my car on the dyno and optimize my 93 tune. No issues but I'm a huge believer in using a dyno to tune.

I'm waiting to see the developments of the Aquamist Water/Meth kit for the BRZ (currently a prototype) and the Innovate intercooler upgrade. I wouldn't expect either until the fall at the earliest but I need a heat management strategy for the long-haul.

I'm hopping to get down to VIR but certainly will jump on the next chance to get this bad boy on the track (maybe back to Summit Point). Just want the oil cooler on first but can't wait to feel the new power band and race pads!

Word to the wise - race pads + mesh wheels = forget about having clean wheels. A trip to work has them coated in thick dust. I might just roll with the gunmetal look and wipe the center caps.

Hey bro post pics of those new strut bars you bought from me.

I have not seen it installed on a LHD car. Lol

I got a lot of compliments, people didn't even know they existed. So you might see a few more orders your way.

The only downside is the Password JDM side braces weren't compatible so I had to go back to the dinky OEM ones (just looks - sure they are just as effective).

Here are some shots I just took of the rear (my camera isn't as good):

damn! that's looks beautiful! if only it clears my turbo....

yeah this version is very hard to get and not all vendors have it.

you can always go with the cusco engine room power brace. it's only in blue though, no CF style . let me know if you need one

How do you like your coilovers? have you tracked on them yet?

Those look great! Can't wait for mine to show up from @ZetaPerformance
Swapped out my Cusco Type OS front & rear for the ALC's. I also have the Cusco power braces, so they should look pretty nice together

Yes I have and they perform excellent on the track. On the street the front's seem to make a little noise when cold (first few oscillations). The rears just constantly make a rattling noise over bumps, etc. I've found that I only need to pump up the compression 1 all the way around for the track. If I remember correctly, I run 3/7 compression and 7/10 rebound up front and 4/7 compression and 6/10 rebound in the rear on the track.

Front camber -1.8
Rear camber -2.5/-2.8 (need LCA's to dial those in)

I hope it is a light house, haha. I know the Innovate guys love talking torque, but you do realize the turbo guys are already making more torque by 3500 RPM and way more past that?

Oh for sure! I wanted to go the turbo route but this is my daily driver and I thought a supercharger would be a better idea for less hassle (beginning a MBA program this fall and need to focus on that). I'm coming from a M3 and 911 so I'm not blown away, just happy with the set-up.
