The car is currently making 485rwhp@14psi and I plan on going back to the dyno to give it a little more boost before rebuilding the motor. I would like ot achieve 600rwhp this season and get a few 10 second passes in. Once I regain my social life this summer/fall and get to enjoy my car for several months, it wil be going back under the knife this winter so I can add all the forged goodies and paint the engine bay. I will probably sell the N1 oil pump in favor of a better oil pump (JUN, Tomei, etc) and I'll also need to pick up an ATI Pulley.

Very clean install I love it!! But one thing.... Having the AEM in the engine bay makes me cover my eyes!! In my opinion I would rather have it inside the car. Is there any reason preventing you from doing that?? Electronics and heat dont mix

. Just my opinion tho, great job and I cant wait to see more videos!!!!!!

Booztd 3 · June 18th, 2007, 09:56 AM

I mainly wanted it there for a showoff factor

Plus I shortened the RB wiring harness considerably, in order to do this, so i'd have to re-lenthen the harness to do it all over again!

I do not drive the car in extreme heat, nor in rain, so I havent had any issues yet, plus AEM is really good about warranting their stuff

ZDrifter · June 18th, 2007, 01:34 PM

I would still build a box for it atleast.... My ignitor failed because of heat and ended up frying my ECU. If you want to show it off you can just pull the cover off of it. But if you take it out and drive it for a good amount of time and pull it in the garage back home put your hand on the ECU if its cool then your fine. But if you have to take your hand off of it I would suggest building a box for it. Just my opinon and I hope to see your car sometime!!!
