Who says you can't pass smog with a streetported motor, intake, SMIC, downpipe, hi-flow cat, and PFC?
And Adam, I AM planning on going to that auto-x...it will be great to see you again.

I'm too lazy to read this whole thread. Which cat did you go with, and how is the noise level?

Glad she's back on the road! Congrats. I can't wait to see the pics either. While you're at it, maybe it's time for a new avatar pic. I keep seeing this standard one, and mistake it for you.

I can't believe I haven't posted an update in over 2 months....or any reviews or photos of the new parts. Well, I've been "busy" and I'll be getting to this stuff shortly.
As an update, my car is being tuned on 12/17 by Steve Kan. I've decided to pick up an HKS Twin Power and to run a midpipe for the tuning. Depending on how loud/smelly the midpipe is, I may forego my goal of running the hi-flow cat all of the time. We'll see.
I'm still running an ultrasafe map at 10-11 psi only, but this motor pulls hard above 5k rpm. Highest knock recorded under WOT so far has been 20.
My water temps have been running much cooler with the new motor....my fans no longer even have to come on in most city driving, unlike before.
Anyway, I will be posting separate reviews of the new modifications, as well as tuning results in the next month or so. I plan on tuning for up to 15-16 psi, whatever Steve feels is safe on 91 octane. I will be running water injection and will be running 100 octane for tracking the car. I have no plans for drag racing the car, as it ain't my thing, but maybe I'll do a run or two just to see what my trap speeds are.

Yike! Rynberg with a midpipe. Might want to try a resonated midpipe. I can't stand how loud my car is and I have one of the metal substrate cats in my midpipe. Extra resonator/muffler going in really soon.
Motor sounds sweet. Can't wait to see the results of Steve's majic on your car.

Tyler, my FD runs cold as ice as well. I can't remember the last time my temps have gotten above 89 celcius around town, or the last time my fans came on.
Also, good call on the m/p. I have the magnaflow res as well and really like it.

i get more than that at idle, think i get about 25.
at woot at 0,45bar it pikes at around 60-85,
at 0,95bar i sometimes get upp to 90..
how do you get so low knock??
im running a really safe map with lowered boost (bad clutch, cant hold power)
