She’s all fabbed and test fitted. And it’s perfect. I’ll add some mounts for the privacy cover and paint it to match my pillar bar and she will be done!

 

That turned out great! I fear I'll need to do something similar when I install my seats because the crossmember is low.

 

I’ve had quite a few people express interest in them, and it is something I’d be able to make more of if anyone wanted one. Price would be very reasonable comparatively.

 

 

Air pump delete with banzai block of plates and FFE idler is finished as well as knightsport twin tube down pipe and greddy circuit sport mid pipe. Very excited with how this thing sounds now.

next up is to finally get the larger SMIC in 54 series battery and custom air box!

 

Had some time so I finished installing my hard pipes just in time to take them all off and start my new intake/intercooler set up

just ordered some titanium pipe to make intercooler piping and intake pipes.

but here’s a shot of the bay I deep cleaned

 

Well finally getting back to the FD!

new intercooler
custom piping
Go Fast bits BOV to delete the factory BOV and CRV
custom battery tray
custom air box and a bunch of silicone vacuum line

also removed all my AC components minus the compressor and evaporator. I’ll pull those out at a later date.

 

I would love to see some AIT data once/if you have them with that intercooler setup. I've been studying Stock mount solutions for a couple years and ended up building my own so I would like to see how it compares to the "professional" ones. That old ARC unit actually performs pretty well but the stop and go kills all SMICs if you don't integrate a fan. Any reason why you went non-sequential over keeping sequential other than simplicity or not wanting to deal with the rats nest?

 

I am still running sequential. I’ve heard some people have deleted the CRV and had boost creep and some that have deleted and had zero issues. So we will see what happens. I have a boost controller / Mac solenoid wired and in the bay but it is not plumbed. I’m still running the factory pills and solenoids

 

Definitely report on if this works and I would love some AIT numbers since you are on factory pills as well. I've got some video to edit from my dyno session with my new intercooler with AIT numbers for comparison and would like to see how it performs
