Hopefully at DGRR 2009 the only smoke I leave will be tire smoke...

Ok, I was able to snap a few pics of the car yesterday while the weather was nice (but cold). Not many changes to the exterior other than Rotary Extreme plateless 99 spec polyurethane bumper cover and the 18x8/18x9 ASA wheels.

Engine mods

I made many changes with the look and performance of the engine. I will try to go in depth with the modifications made.

I decided to go with a smaller battery (51R) to allow more room for the intercooler. I made a custom tray that mounts in the same location as the stock piece. After looking at the tie-down brace installed, I decided I will make another one to match the strut brace.

While keeping the CAI I had, I wanted to have the filters permanently match the color of the blue used for the brake calipers, strut brace, and other accents. I used RIT navy blue dye to get them as close to the color as I possibly could.

Along with the fuel pump upgrade, I had to upgrade the rest of the fuel system as well. I installed the fuel pressure regulator on the front of the UIM where the stock boost control solenoids were mounted. I had to fabricate a bracket to mount the FPR to one side in order to install the fuel pressure sensor. I also upgraded my fuel injectors to provide adequate fuel for my power level goal. Thanks to David Garfinkle, I was able to mount stock 850cc in the primary rail and 1200cc in the secondary. To get everything flowing smoothly, I opted for -6an fittings and braided stainless hose connected to the hard pipes at the fire wall.
