It is only running 5Psi at the moment and with the higher ambient temperature up north I an tempted to keep the current pulley.
A decent water/air intercooler will gain me a few more Kw's anyway. Best to keep things safe.
Still a lot more tuning to go, but substantial gains are already there. My mate who installed the kit for me, commented on the quality and ease of installation.
The kit itself will take a competant person 2hrs to install including wiring. Injector and fuel pump upgrades dependant on the person installing them.
I had my larger injectors (Sti blues - 565cc) installed a few weeks earlier and had them dialled in beforehand.
Once the kit was installed and the engine fired up. I had a modified Rom loaded up to allow for the increase airflow. But since mine was the first there was a lot of unknowns. Car started and idled perfectly and driven around normally nothing was amiss.
Tuning began in earnest this morning after the first logging session yesertday with the truncated data. Mate who was driving felt the difference after the first Rom. After the third he was very impressed. This was a guy who has workd on high horsepower WRX's and V8's in the past. Said that the engine drove like stock but with the obvious increase in power.
WOT runs for logging felt very quick and felt as though the engine would have just kept on revving out until it exploded!
More results form the tuning tomorrow morning. You can be assured that the water/air cooling kit will be a quality item built by one of the best in the business.
Please bear in mind that there are only two kits out in the public domain at the moment and there are some issues that will be addressed before it is mass produced.
