IT'S ALIVE...!!!
Before going on the dynapak I told Scot of RRE that I wanted a tune that would last an entire 20-30 minute without issues...
We got her on the spinners and made a super conservative tune of 500HP/430TQ at only 26 pounds of boost on E85... the 91 octane tune made a nice 400HP at 22psi...
Dyno graphs to come later...
VIDEO PULL...

Full Race has jumped on board for this year and supplied one of their single scroll exhaust manifolds...
Just waiting for Garrett to send me a new turbine housing for the GTX3076. The turbine housing will be Garretts .63 A/R with the GT v-band setup... Road Race Engineering will fab up the o2/downpipe...

With such a work of art and awesome welds to show off I hated to do it but wanted to keep engine bay temps down to a minimum...
So I opted to get the Full-Race manifold ceramic coated with Cerakote C-7300 ceramic coating. The shop I had it done at, Vinman Engineering, is local to me and even better yet has a one day turn around with mine being ready for pick-up in 4 hours. That's bead blasting, prep, spray and bake all in that time frame... Granted this type of Cerakote ceramic coating is an air dry, they baked it for me to speed up the curing process...

Had my car on display at the Road Race Engineering booth during Mitsubishi Owners Day (MOD) at corporate Mitsu HQ...
Pretty much my debut of the car since the entire makeover...
Ha... Don't get to many of the driver shots...

In the quest to run faster lap times I wanted to focus on brake cooling. As we all know stoping a 3k pound car with a decent amount of horsepower is taxing on our stock Brembo's. Granted they have been great with Raybesto ST-43 pads, Centric blanks, and Motul RBF600 but I have cooked them during a Time Attack session... I like to use my brakes only once and back on the gas, so I'm pretty heavy on 'em...*
With brake kits in the $500+ dollar category I thought I could put together my own kit and put the saved the money towards other go fast bits...
My kit consist of the following:
- Binary Engineering brake duct nozzles*http://www.binaryeng.com/products%20...e%20ducts.html
- clear NACA ducts
- 2" to 3" adaptors
- 2" high temp silicone brake ducting
Most of the parts were purchased from Racer Parts Warehouse except for Jared's Binary brake duct nozzles...*
Total cost:
- well below $300...!!!
And that's with no special discount! You can't beat that...!
The final install is a 2-fold win... It not only looks clean, it aids in increasing frontal downforce by allowing high pressure air to be applied on the front bumper lip and canards, and not being wasted by blowing through a huge opening...
Binary "mustache" brake duct nozzle
I heat gunned the duct to wrap around the bumper inlet...
F/R... Here you can see the relocated power steering cooler. The oil cooler was rerouted to the front of the car..
Bumper is misaligned due to soft install...

Where did you hear that I can't run the stock tie bars with a tubular cross member from...? The tie bars are more of a torsional support, as the cross member is more of a longitudinal support...
