It been awhile so i thought i would update the thread.
Sold the adaptronic ecu and went with a PFC. Ordered FFE Step Up kit from IRP.
Tags have been expired since Sept and finally got new tags the other days.
Hoping I just need to change the oil in it prior to DGRR.
Cruising with the wife to DGRR last year. Hoping we are able to take her FD this year.

• Tune. It currently has a PFC

8/7 Update, so that i can look back later and see how i was feeling about the car.
Put 250 miles on the car over wknd.
AC is blowing cold-ish. Only works on fan speed 1 and 2 and temp only gets down to 50 degrees.
The car is still fun to drive but I think i want to upgrade from konis ground control setup to Ohlins.
Car still rattles here and there and hate the way the car sounds when you close the door. Will be putting some sound deading in it over the winter.
The re conditioned seats seem firmer than the stock base seats in my R1.
The Rotary 13b aluminum interior door pull is a nice upgrade.
Wished i could drive it more but driving it to work in rush hour traffic is no fun.
Have a different steering wheel for it coming, other than that nothing too exciting going on.

Another boring update.
Installed new passenger window switch. Many thanks to Ray for hooking a brother up.
Also installed newer style steering wheel. Went with the flying M and red stitching.
Thinking about taking it to deals gap next month.

Nice cleanup on your car. You have put a lot of work into it. I see you are in Nashville. I was born and raised in Columbia. Went to school in Nashville and lived in Antioch for a few years prior to moving to Georgia.

No pics of this because it's nothing really to look at but tapped and installed plugs on the water pump housing and welded up the hole for the AST drain on the radiator. Wanted to eliminate potential failure points.
Installed Shine Street Diffuser. There are two spots that need additional work. Not sure how I feel about this mod yet.

Thinking about changing my engine and turbo setup.
How I use the car
What I’m wanting
What I’m thinking
Thoughts on my what I'm thinking? I know i can probably achieve my goal with a street port but wanted to try a semi p port setup.
How I use the car
- Cars and coffee meet, maybe 6 times a year
- Track days, 2 times a year
- Deals Gap (public road that has 318 turns in 11 miles) 2 times a year
What I’m wanting
- A cool sounding brapping FD
- 450 rwhp and 300ftlbs by 3500 rpms on 93 octane and water/meth injection
What I’m thinking
- Semi p port – this is probably overkill
- IRP EFR8374 IWG turbo kit
- 3 inch down pipe
- 3 inch mid pipe
- Buddy Club Spec III Catback Exhaust
- Blitz FMIC

The 8374 will meet your goals easy, take a look at my thread where I posted the dyno graphs from my power tune at IRP. Click here for the thread.
It's fun on the street but hard to stretch all the way out, especially for me since my trans has the old shift select spindle and I roasted my 5th gear synchro by missing the 2-3 shift. Any time I try to do the 2-3 shift at WOT above 6k RPM I grind into 5th. I'm on stock brakes and suspension too and found myself scared of how fast the car was when I took it out on Summit Main in the wet last month. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the EFR 8374 is an awesome turbo but it's too big for a street car IMO.

I'm also on stock brakes and koni yellow with adjust sleeves but have ohlins on the way.

And there's nothing like driving in the rain at WOT
Apologize for the thead jack
