We will be tuning on race gas to see the maximum results and then we will be retuning on 91 pump.

Pictures of the interior coming soon guys. Thanks for all the support and non-support guys haha. It eggs us on to try and do our best.

Glad to see you're gonna tune on 91 **** gas as well.

Exclamation Almost done!!!

Here we go... the final stages before we get the harness back and the car up on the dyno!

Completed Engine Bay



Very tight fit, we had to get a slim fan...



The heart of it all...



We had to remove the grill, crash beam, and cut the bumper for this monster to fit!



The cockpit, please excuse the mess...



Another view...



Close up



There you have it guys. The car is almost done. Right now we are just waiting to get the harness back from HKS and the tuning begins. We will tune on race gas then on the crappy pump 91 junk that we have here in California. Let me know if you guys have any questions!

Looks excellent On a side note I've never seen a black display unit for the EVC V before. Get a swiffer to take care of the dust build up on the interior

Swiffer haha those things are the best, use them around my room all the time....

The black EVC V is the limited edition one, they are currently being sold by HKS. I'm pretty jealous since I bought my plain old silver one right before the black ones came out!

Ed... so you had to remove the crash beam to fit the radiator or intercooler or turbo set up or all of the above? Please clarify. I'm guessing that the fit would be better with the GT2835 kit over the GT3071 kit, correct?

It was necessary to remove to fit the intercooler. The turbo and radiator all fit fine, its just that the HKS TypeR is so massive you need to remove it.

Wow... I have a S Type FMIC on my 240... and had to trim quite a bit of the bumper support with a plasma cutter.. but to remove the whole thing? Hmm... sounds like it's time to fabricate something to replace it if I go with the R Type. Thanks for the heads up... that's good information.

Evasive, How much AWHP are you expecting at the end? at least a ballpark figure. Also, do you have the HKS GT3540 on stock?
