Sakebombgarage WeatherShieldHP fitted:
Normal business ongoing: going FMIC, but with partial masking of the radiator, and not total masking, known the specific needs of 13B cooling
The model I sourced had 2,5" I/O. So I'm modding it to fit 2.75" I/O as it should be.
It will be "BLITZ FMIC inspired":
- no need to cut bumper compared to GREDDY/TRUST one
- short piping compared to GREDDY/TRUST
- no TOTAL masking of radiator compared to GREDDY/TRUST
Yes, less efficiency than GREDDY/TRUST but I'm keeping twins below 14.5PSI and I will improve efficiency compared to SMIC even with proper dynamic ducting, particularly at low speeds and/or during fan activation. At least I hope so, and it will be checked looking at dynamic intake temps.

Just for your information: never buy a used TwinPower on BidJDM.
I was worried about it, and it happened: The TwinPower I bought had the red light working, the car started fine and drove fine, and when on boost: TADAAAA!!!! plenty of ignition breakup, backfire and no acceleration at all!!
Once TwinPower removed, car drives and boosts perfectly fine.
Don't be an idiot, don't be like me, don't buy used TwinPower on bidJDM.

Car is running fine and feels super healthy. Boost is currently 0,95bar peak/0,9 bar top end (13PSI top end). EGT is 780°C post turbo top end. AFR is 11.3. duty cycle is still below 80% with 78% 79% peak.
What boost could I safely reajust to? I will remap fueling and ign as required. I'd like to ensure turbo reliability (the pair has been rebuilt less than 20k ago, no play, and I would like to ensure 30k more miles with them). I plan on peaking at 16PSI/1.1 bar, with 15PSI/1,05bar top end. The car is not a race track car, it's street and I floor it when it's possible, so the turbo is 5% of time at full load and even less probably.
Engine:
stock twins
stock port
Air pump delete
block off plates everywhere
Rats Nest complete removal
Twin Trust airinx Intake kit
Dump Valve HKS SSQV
18" X 11" X 2,75" core FMIC
3.5" full titanium Catback
3" unsilenced midpipe
3" Trust Downpipe
ECU Katayama Racing (ajustment fuel/ign/fuelcut/lubrification/speed cut...)
Peter Farrell Supercars PMC purple (ignition, fuel, limiters...) + remote control
Modded primary rail
850cc primaries
1300cc secondaries
Z32 fuel filter in engine bay
MBC Hallman Pro RX 0,95bar peak/0,9 bar top end (13PSI top end)
Walbro 255High Pressure hardwired
NGK BUR9EQx4
NGK wires
Ground kit HKS
Koyorad type-R + ducting home made
