My winter project and pics

Hey everyone, let me start off by listing my mods:
Street port & 3 mm seals
Modded stock air box
B&m shortshifter
Apexi power fc with commander
3" dp to 3.7" Trust resonated mp back down to a 3" Trust SP exhaust
RB lowering springs

What I plan to do over winter:
porting everything else
FMIC
Custom intake
Rad upgrade and much more

The Thumbnails here are of my porting. Still needs more work with a flapper wheel.
total time so far: approximately 20 hours ... taking it slow

These pics are of my IC and engine bay and what not.
People have asked about the HKS FMIC, I will keep everyone posted on how well it actually performs. More pics of engine bay, my baby on jackstands
and turbo porting. The 20 hours mentioned above is only on porting :S

The good thing about the HKS IC is that it comes with a whole lot of brackets.
1 to relocate the battery in the engine bay, others for the IC, and to make the radiator a veritcal mounted rad. Absolutely awesome package I must say.
Intake piping and IC piping will all have to be custom though

Yeah, I like those nice propane powered heaters, they work very well.

Looks like your engine bay could use a good cleaning while you got all those parts off

Can i ask some honest questions will porting just the ends of the turbos and the ends of the inlet manifold really do anything,,,,in my experience,, really the only way is to port the whole thing all the way though,,,and that would be a challenge

We'll see what the dyno says next summer


I used to own an N/a FC and porting helped give me 180 rwhp

As far as heater goes... yeah that would be a good Idea... and cleaning the engine bay while its super cold?? =frozen rngine bay haha
