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

Image


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

Enjoy!

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 :wink:
