    Intake Kit... Worth it?

    And recommendations with Induction Kits at all?

    Blitz Advanced Intake MAF

    Okay let’s talk some sense. After a six month wait my Blitz parts I’ve fitted the advanced air intake system in but the MAF sensor didn’t reach. It’s all good but want to take it to Bristol on Friday and not crash and burn Due to the time of night and the fact my cold start with non-res full Cobra system would wake half of Wiltshire, I haven’t started it to see if it still drives okay or has any lights. Does anyone else have this system and this problem? How did you fix it?

    Blitz Advanced Intake MAF

    I think I’ve managed to do it. Well. It’s plugged in with a bit of slack still in it so I guess I can only hope for the best

    Feel free to ignore this/contribute to this. Will certainly stop me clogging up other areas with my endless questions!

I will keep this updated as I go: -Blitz Suction Kit -K&N Panel Filter -Delete sound pipe -Cobra Exhaust including de-cat manifold and high flow cat pipe -Valenti smoked rear light and rear fog light -Lowering springs -TRD Filler Caps -Mishimoto black chrome gear stick -Remap -Window Tints -Lightweight Alternator and Water Pump Pulley (Blue)

    Pulleys on! More work done tomorrow. Reversing out feels like it revs quicker though

    Okay so! The engine bay was making the famous cricket noises so Fish Brothers Swindon replaced the fuel pump under warranty and is all fixed. Someone reversed into my front wing so £350 later I have a new one painted and fitted. Previous owner put lowering springs on which - despite the ride - I love however I lost a fight to a curb so my front bumper is being resprayed next week too. Red brake callipers, lightweight pulleys, and a surprise all to come! Finally, my car is on the Cobra Sport stand 1st October at Silverstone so if any of you are there say hi!

    Okay, so if you go to my instagram I've uploaded a video of my exhaust. It's better through speakers: www.instagram.com/cjkilworth Firstly, the exhaust is fixed and sounding superb, fantastic service from Cobra Sport! Secondly, the remap is done. Wow! What was interesting is they said every stock GT86 dyno's at 180bhp and their turbo charged one was 178bhp when they got it. My first dyno run was 195bhp and they remapped to an easy 204.7 ironing out the torque dip and give me a few modes including launch control. More info on my instagram ^. All work done my Horsham Developments who were phenomenal and knew their stuff! Thirdly, windows tinted by Auto Asylum in Swindon and they incredible, really tidied up the car!

    The rear three. He is doing me a deal through contacts I know but that was the RPP before he did that. Get to choose the shade when I get there

    GT-Eighty-Chris' Build

    Yes he was saying on the phone when I booked that a lot of these cars as stock at actually around 195bhp and are tuned to a real 205bhp. It's all relative though the feeling is still the same. Im really looking forward to seeing if my intake kit and Cobra exhaust system including manifold have done anything to the stock bhp. I'll report back in a frenzy on Thursday I'm sure 😂

    The key word is 'try' ! We think we've fitted correctly but the guy who fitted it wants to see if he can save me a trip to Sheffield so is looking at it Monday. I may still go any way just so they can confirm all is well if I do manage to fix it. Tints are with AutoAsylum who are chargin. £165 all in and I choose the shade when I arrive. HD are charging £549 including the ECUTEK licence and a duno before and after the custom map. Just in case people were thinking about this too

    High flow cat pipe fitted today. Will get a video on my instagram and link it here soon. Can take up to 1000 miles for the tone to set in apparently

    Hello, not sure if this has been discussed before. Are there any cargo nets or secure ties we can buy for these cars? All my shit slides around in the back even when driving gently
  23. GT-Eighty-Chris

    GT-Eighty-Chris' Build

    A few minor things today. An oil and filter change to get the red TRD filter placed and removal of the sound tubing. Once I have a spare moment I'll have the high flow pipe in place and the blue lightweight water pump and alternator in place.

    Lightweight Pulleys

    Hello! I was doing some research and read the thread on this forum back in 2015 (seems like yesterday!) about lightweight pulleys and potential vibrations vs benefit of throttle response etc. What a lot of people said was there hadn't been enough time to see if these boxer engines get affected, whether or not you need damping etc. Some people said that you could change the Crank OR the Flywheel not both Is there any update? What are people's thoughts of lightweight pulleys? I get to fit my blingy blue water pump and alternator pulleys tomorrow.

    So unless I run out of ideas on how to further bling my engine bay, don't bother with them?
