Just picked up a HKS EVC-S. I noticed about 1psi of creep from 20F cooler temps last night. I've been putting off getting a proper EBC for awhile. I like the simplicity of a manual setup, but it just can't compete. Should help my already lightning quick spool and control things proper through the seasons. 


With this, I also plan to revamp my gauge setup. I'll be removing a few and keeping the essentials. Eventually, I'll shift towards the PLX digitals.

Another goodie awaiting paint...

Operation Detail


As the winter approaches, I have some big plans for the FD. Paint will be happening this coming Spring with the addition of my new body pieces. With this, I am going to finally finish my engine bay. The list will likely grow, but I have a relative idea of what needs to happen before the exterior is painted.


- Engine bay being painted

- Full wire tuck with Ryewire 

- More Ceramichrome!

- Complete engine bay detail work. (painting, polishing, tucking, and cleaning EVERYTHING)

- 35R getting inspected and possible new CHRA

- Full ducting for my Vmount

- Quality security system

- Oled Commander

- All white lit LED gauges including OEM cluster.

- Getting my EGT probe in the manifold where it belongs.... duh.

- Datalogit so I can start fine tuning and DATALOGGING!

UPDATE:


Started pulling the engine bay apart today. It should be ready to head to the paint shop by next week. Pulling everything off the bay walls and firewall for fresh paint. 


Very excited to see my new body pieces installed with a proper base coat clear coat!! 


As far as the bay goes, as mentioned I will be changing things up a bit. Not only am I trying to make everything as clean as possible, but more functional. With this, the intercooler is getting positioned for a more filter friendly setup.
