dialed the car back to 38psi to keep things safe. Still seems like a torquey street monster.


Seems like it all came together. Arent you glad that you listened to us and decided to continue fixing the little things instead of listening to yourself and parting the car? Congrats brother, sounds like u have yourself a fun street car.

The idle issue-was that tune related? Hows overall drivability?

going to need to upgrade to -8 feed and -6 return, bigger pumps, surge tank, magus/JMF intake, and switch the car over the DBW, later on. As of now, the car is scary responsive/fast and will rock it for a year or so.

drivability is really great, almost like a stockish evo.


Got a set of DBA rotors and Ds2500 to put on the car, one I do that I’ll. Only gotten into 3rd a bit then stopped since my brakes are done. Lol.

I would stay away from dbw being just another thing to go wrong with the electrical. It's nice to have but I know the cars I have the dbw is laggy when getting on the throttle. Surge tank is unneeded in my opinion as well unless your launching the car with just enough fuel to get you down a track. JM or magnus mani eh I am bias JMF lol.

I'm thinking the same on dbw. I have an ams manifold, so I bought a magnus adaptor and a porsche 82mm tb. Thats my next install! Congrats!

I'm still working out the plans for the upgrades but the reason I was looking at the DBW is because new IACV are like $350+, could switch to DBW and that will be removed along with the TPS.

Surge tank, what's a couple hundred bucks for a little added safety. It's not needed but wouldn't hurt since I'll be playing with the fuel setup.

I like the JMF more than Magus, which ever I get a good deal on is the one I'll buy.

Paid for the haltech ECU, might aswell use the whole ecu. lol
