I can knock up a hard wire kit for the fuel pump if you need, I've done multiple GD's now.

Usually use the Raceworks FSA-500 bulkhead kit for the fuel tank sender lid to bypass the oem connector which can melt with the larger pumps/amperage.

Worth bypassing the controller as well if you're adding in an external relay for the new pump as it's kind of redundant.

I've also got a GR STI cooler with bracket to suit GD if you're keen?

Flex and fuel kit is all here.
Also picked up a set of ceramic coasted UEL
Headers. Just cheap SSI ones but brand new unused.
Yes I know elh males more power but it's not all about peak power. It is a street car and I want the rumble.
Still just saving coin for the install and tune.
Going to fit a processwest tmic at same time and then I think that'll be it for power.
Next focus will be cosmetics..
Body and paint then maybe some rims.

All installed. Made 430 at evoR on the corn. 366 on pump. Also less boost than previous tune that I'm glad with.
Being a hub dyno and evoR reading high we will say it makes an even 300hp, 250 on pump. Either way I'm sure it's super slow and will blow up 18 months ago.

That little turbo would surely be maxxed out now? Should drive amazing with that set up, very responsive turbo at 8cm.

It's only on 19 psi and tuned with a lazy ramp. About 500 rpm later than when we had it at 23psi. We could squeeze it harder possibly but it drives pretty well. It's a street car and I daily it in town, road trips ect.. longevity is more important to me than big boost and numbers.
I took it to the drags and ran 11.9@187 odd with my HD organic clutch very unhappy with me. Is a lot of torque for the poor thing. It won't hold a high rpm launch so that was the best run I could do on the night but I think if I could launch Properly I'd be even quicker. I'll run it into the ground then go a twin plate.

Went to drags again, but warmer ambient and e50. Not as fast time with a 12.1.. struggled with shifts later in the night. Turns out I've killed another exedy hd. Seems like the ethanol tune is a bit much for the things as that's 2 down in 2 years. Seems to be the bearings that let go not the disc itself both times. Car still drive able but won't shift at high rpm. Booked in for a twin plate and other maintenance. My suspensions clapped out so I have a set of Silver's neomax s to go in and some fresh whiteline bushings

ORC twinplate installed. Very impressed with it so far. Pedal feel is light, no difference to the organic HD's. Engagement is sharp but progressive. Just needs a little blip of the revs then takes of smoothly in stop start. No issues with downshifts. No need to rev match. No nasty jolting with tight manoeuvring.I love how the engagement feels like it's not going to rip my gearset to pieces. Very smooth. Still wearing it in but look forward to seeing how it performs at the strip. Keen for suby night in April for another hit.
Silver's neomax installed as well
Should've done that ages ago. Wow. What an improvement. Both handling and comfort are a step up on my clapped out old setup. Car actually holds the road again. Steering is more responsive as well. Haven't really driven hard on them yet but as I feel my tyres are the obvious weak point now and not to keen to test there limits, especially on the streets. Dampers a bit soft at the moment for my liking. Very civilian. Look forward to tinkering with them and slowly dial them in to suit my driving.

It's a twin plate so it chatters when the clutch is being held in. Just retrain myself not to hold clutch in at lights. I don't mind it. Racecar stuff. It's not too obnoxious

Installed cusco pitch mount today. just scored it cheap off market place.
trying to reduce driveline feeling sloppy. i assume its wear and tear but not 100% sure on the issue. My original pitch stop did have a torn bushing on the larger/firewall end.
This does seemed to have helped a fair bit but hasn't stopped it completely.
Throttle response feels a tiny bit better too.
Noticeable increase in vibration to car on idle.
Hardly world changing but only cost 100 bucks.
With the clutch, suspension and the corn juice car feels pretty tight at the moment. probably the best its ever been.
The body and paint still trashed. ahh maybe one day!
