Blitz Front Mount Intercooler kit
- When the stock boost levels are exceeded, it is wise to upgrade the
intercooler to cool the hot air discharged from the turbocharger.
- Approximately 6hr install without prior knowledge of intercooler
system. Slightly difficult to understand pictures as text is in
Japanese.

GReddy Airinx Dual Air Filters w/
aluminum piping
-
Less restrictive air flow allows for faster spool
up from turbochargers.

hard boost

Apexi Power FC and Commander
-
Full Computer ECU Replacement is not only faster to
respond to engine conditions but allows for manipulation of both fuel
maps and ignition timing and more.
-
Approximately 1 hr install. Remove passenger kick
plate and install was easy. No screws hole are present on new unit
so it must be fastened by other means. My unit was preprogrammed
for my mods and although that is not recommended, it worked wonderful
for my car. Tuning is recommended to be done on dyno with
datalogger and wideband O2 sensor equipment.

Efini Y pipe
-
Pipe coming from twin turbocharger assembly carrying hot
discharged air to intercooler. This part can be found on stock
1999 RX-7s only in Japan.
-
2hr to install. When it is the only modification
done to the car at that time, it is recommended to combine it with a
FMIC installation. The bottom piece leaves little room for
aftermarket BOV in stock position.

GReddy 3 Pc Aluminum Piping for
Intercooler
-
Pipes replace OEM plastic parts connected to intercooler
that commonly cause boost leaks. Metal pipes allow for higher
boost levels and better boost response.
-
Approximately 1hr to install. "S" shaped piece
seems like it will rub with engine belts, very small clearance.
These pieces are used for stock IC setup and when going to a front mount
the "S" pipe is no longer necessary..

High Flow Main Catalytic Converter
-
Replaces Main catalytic converter with higher flowing
unit allowing for a more free flowing exhaust while having the ability
to pass smog tests.
-
Approximately 1.5hr install. Not difficult, just
plan ahead and make sure that all connections are not welded on before
attempting to remove old cat. Added bonus: Standing the old cat on
end and watching chunks of it fall to floor.

only performance, but profile and sound. Best for midrange
performance.

HKS SSBOV
-
This unit discharges excess boost created by the
turbochargers when the throttle is released. Replaces OEM Blow Off
Valve which discharged back into air box causing turbulence in air flow.
-
Easy to install on stock engine. One line goes to
turbocharger assembly (lower piece on Y Pipe) and second goes to the
intake manifold behind the throttle body where boost gauge
commonly goes.

Silicone Vacuum Hoses
-
Not only does this modification provide actual benefits
to engine components but it also dresses up any engine nicely.
-
2-3hrs to install. Underneath the intake
manifold (UIM)
is a nest of vacuum lines for the twin turbo control. those lines
are subjected to high heats and tend to get brittle and crack over time.

not apply to weekend warriors

accelerating
