Its time to get a little more serious now, and by serious i mean time for some engine tuning to gain some more power. These are the first major developments i am taking to create more power from the 1.3 liter 4E-FTE EP82. I've purchased several new performance parts, some from Japan, some from Sri Lanka and some from England. Hopefully with the combination of parts i've chosen and the tuning methods i've already put in place i shold have a pretty fast street setup. The parts i've ordered will increase the boost and offer a much cooler air flow with the introduction of a custom FMIC setup. The new exhaust manifold will increase the gas flow dramatically as the standard manifold has a design flaw which blocks a fair ammount of exhaust gases due to the runners crossing paths and causing a restriction. The manifold is of mild steel construction with a special paint finish to prevent rust and small metal particles hitting the turbo exhaust blades. To monitor and control the boost more accurately i'll be using the GReddy Profec B Spec-II unit which has many many options and ways to tweak the boost to perfection. A new Apexi Intake will be placed inside the front grille using a short 90 degree silicone reducer hose for a short and cool intake route. The new BOV i have from GReddy, the Type-R should make a great noise, this is quite important these days but also this BOV can withstand some extremely high boost so this definately shouldn't have a problem with leakage.

The other parts i have are more for aesthetics such as the oil catch can and the frp reverse scoop, the reverse scoop will also stop water entering the engine bay and damaging the spark leads like the previous problem i had last winter. For now i'm just waiting for the WEPR intercooler piping kit to arrive with a flange pre-welded on for the GReddy BOV valve.

All the parts will be getting fitted along with a new clutch on the 25th February so look out for a huge update and lots of pics and video's. Peace.
