All,
I thought I would pass along the results of a couple of modifications that were recently completed on my 2008. The car was pretty much stock except for a 2.5 pulley, KR mufflers and a CAI, but I wanted to elevate the ‘fun factor’ and increase the power.
I installed a 2013/14 TVS blower along with 2013/14 injectors and took it to a local shop for final tuning. The shop is Wolfpack Performance in Pittsburgh and the owner /operator (Mike) did a fantastic job with adding the fuel pump boosters, a 2.4 pulley and tuning the car. While I had it in the shop he also switched the OEM clutch out for an RXT.
I just picked the car up yesterday and drove it 75 miles to get home. First, the RXT is amazing. Its so much better than the factory unit- lighter pedal feel, easier to engage and holds like a bear. I am shocked at how much more pleasurable it is to drive with the new clutch. I would highly recommend this clutch.
As far as performance goes, I have attached the dyno results. I could probably change to a larger throttle body and inch my way closer to 650hp but that’s for later. The big thing I noticed is the torque. The TVS really increased torque across the rev range and this thing is an absolute blast to drive. Its producing about 17lbs of max boost and when you mash the throttle and the boost comes up it goes like crazy. It was a little cold yesterday and I did not push it, but I had no problems lighting the Nittos up, especially in 3rd gear.
I just wanted to provide some experiences with these two modifications and let everyone know that they both made a positive difference in the cars performance and made it much more fun to drive.
