Cusco Hicas delete arms
kinda like these:
Damn you work fast!
While you have the motor out, you can remove all this HICAS stuff from the car to save some weight:
Keep the main 10mm oil lines under chassis for 800HP fuel upgrade

Open the pump, remove the rear vein (rotor, blades, sleeve and sleeve pins) and plug the feed off.

most of it removed, total weight saved +- 25kg's
received some goodies today:
s/s headers:
AEM water meth kit, with low level sensor
Cometic gasket set, ARP head studs, Greddy oil filter
more goodies:
Greddy cover:
HKS air filters
HKS oil filler cap
Also got my brakes back from engineering (had billet aluminum mounts cnc'd) these are 330mm disk's but caliper is large enough to upgrade to the 343mm disk

and behind the 17" wheel
decided to powder coat the std boost pipes in the same black as the intake
Fast progress 😉 Looking good. Those full cometic gasket sets are very nice. Was the AP Brakes on the car ?
everything is looking really good 😮

gasket kit does look very good
Nope, AP Racing is something i'm adding 😀 want good brakes for fast lap times - even got the AP Racing pads 😂
Holy crap! I hate you right now! 😂
Looks really great! Gonna be a stunner when done!
just a question, what sort of power can you get from the standard turbo's with the steel turbine upgrade kit?
Very Very Nice! 😀

steel turbine kit allows for higher boost, comes with 360' thrust, and i'm also getting the compressor wheel upgrade from 42 to 46mm
will prob be good for 500hp without NOS, but not sure if i'm actually going to use them yet - might have something else soon 😉
