To the creators of the SF kit
would it be possible to buy only parts of the kit?

I actually had that conversation with them the other day. What parts were you looking to get? I was thinking about testing the kit without the intercooler system.

does anyone know how much trunk space is effectively lost due to the battery and coolant reservoir?

You mean you actually care about trunk loss with the turbo system relocations? I'm just kidding, but it can't really be that bad of a loss. I think that larger speaker enclosures would take more usable space than the battery and coolant.

I posed the question but don't have an answer for you yet.

FoxEric-
Space lost depends on the size of your battery. The tank is 8x8x15 and holds 3 gallons.

Put the battery and tank in either corner of the trunk (nearest the taillights). That space is useless anyways...you'd be surprised how much crap you can fit in the trunk and still have usable space!!

What speciality or fab parts do we have to buy now before the kit becomes defunct. Say I buy the custom piping and what not and then buy the fmic later on from spearco. Also I have heard chris and you talk about how there is stuff left to tune to produce more hp. Is the latesst header design suppose to give more hp or is it in the EEC. Can we get any updates on your car how it is doing?

becomes defunct.


i wouldn't be that cynical about it. . .the kit has a solid following right now, I hope it's around so the 20-somethings on this forum, once they graduate and can afford luxuries like that, have a chance to splurge and pimp the proverbial family sedan. . .

We have changed the header and piping design one last time because we believe that we can hit a higher low end torque number. The new design is just awesome and I will have pictures this week. I have most of the components already on disk. I apologize for the delay in posting of pictures. Without any unforseen issues, I would like to lay down a new number on the dyno next week.
