Nice build. Why did you decide to ditch the HKS BOBV and went with tial?
well.. i ran that HKS on my scion and loved it.. however with it hooked up as a direct feed on my genesis, it would go off like every 2 seconds and i found it to get annoying lol

The Tial is much more subtle and doesnt attract as much attention, but still has a great sound!

i dyno is a tool used for tuning reasons. Without an absolute baseline, it doesnt mean very much to show what your horsepower numbers are..

you could make more.. could make less.. depends on the dyno, weather conditions, elevation.. etc.

Welll... im waiting on my pulleys to be returned from NST.. so either that or a pnp intake manifold from Grimmspeed.. both will be done soon enough :)
 
#31 ·
The stock intercooler is more of a direct route , but it was no longer efficient at my power level.. The Buschur intercooler will support much more power than stock :)

great looking GC coupe,,, i just got that wing trunk badge and i love it,, and i got the eibach springs ordered can't wait. You think that pulley is safe and will actually make a difference? especially on my car with stage 3? the GrimmSpeed pnp IM seems alright but not enough difference for the money. I wouldnt mind that pulley tho if its not going to have any negative effects on the engine in any way

Both the intake manifold and the pulleys should make noticeable differences. The pulleys will drastically increase throttle response.. and the intake manifold should provide a more even though and much cooler temperatures (with grimmspeeds other mods)
