    A couple seconds gear pulls

    MPFab Sonic EFR6258 testing: http://youtu.be/cxGrPXz2sBE MPFab Sonic Turbo EFR6258 testing2: http://youtu.be/ToSI5zphpGY The whistle sound is most likely the BCS venting to ATM instead of being routed back into the intake tube. I'm going to plumb it back in so I should know soon if that's it...

    Importance of a boost leak check.

    Stayed late tonight and performed a simple outpatient procedure on the Sonic. Found an enormous leak at the intermediate charge pipe that connects the turbo to the MPFab intercooler kit. I made a couple videos I'll post later. Going to drive home now. This should make a big difference. I'll...

    Well that escaladed quickly...

    This has gotten ridiculous. My daily driver has now spent a week on the lift, and there is still a good bit left to do. The simple top mount set up is now a "way over the top" mount set up. This mounting arrangement was supposed to facilitate integration with the intake (it does:) ), and the...

    I got 99 problems....

    and the new turbo set up is 80 of them. Lol! Very busy weekend kept me away from the shop until Sun. morning. Got there at 10:30. Spent ALL day bent over the car playing with turbo position and manifold construction. This car is set up for a "palm sized" turbo, and I'm fitting a Datsun sized...

    I followed suit and bought a Honda Civic front lip spoiler

    I took sonic007 advise and bought a lip spoiler for the 99'00' Civic to install on my Sonic. It took a little more time than expected (initially I thought there was no way in hell it would fit), but with patience and a heat gun I got it installed. I drilled into the bumper and used small...

    I've got two intercooler kits left before the pricing goes up almost $60.

    2 left at current pricing. Once they're gone, the price will go up an additional $56.75 due to Garrett increasing the prices on their intercooler cores. I'm not one of those "Act before it's too late" guys, but $60 is nothing to sneeze at. If you are waiting on the automatic kits to begin...

    Dyno results!

    My 7 o'clock appointment was delayed 1.5hrs due to another car ahead of me needing additional time. I didn't get to do as much as I'd hoped for, but the results were still pretty strong. Nothing above 4k was touched from the way I tuned it on the street. I moved both cams around a couple deg...

    Garrett increased pricing on all intercooler cores

    I was placing an order for more Garrett intercoolers yesterday and my distributor notified me that the core I use in the Sonic kits has gone up $60!!:( I'm not sure what to do at this point. In my opinion, you'd be hard pressed to find a better intercooler core, but it's either raise the...

    Update on turbo upgrade

    I've been absent recently due to custom fab work in the shop keeping me from being here. I wanted to give a quick update of what's currently going on. The car is doing great. I've been driving the car everyday and it sees 23-24psi on this turbo quite often. I've done some extended hwy pulls...

    Rolling start to 80

    Another shaky-a$$ video brought to you by MPFab:) This is detuned from the MAF/injector maxing tune, I had in it. I'm trying some different stuff with the cams and ignition timing that are yielding a much more consistently "knock free" tune, however, I have yet to reclaim the HP I gave up in...

    Intercooler kit for automatic equipped Sonic is being tested

    Shipped out the first automatic kit yesterday. If all goes well, I'll be starting production next week. The routing is quite different from the 6spd kit and I'm not sure If I'll offer both versions or just the "auto" which will fit either, but at least things are finally moving forward on this!

    Carnage Asada...

    Caught this very early. Compressor wheel has slight damage, but I doubt it's enough to hurt power. Compressor cover will polish out easily. Local turbo shop has the thrust bearing I need. Taking it over there at lunch and rebuilding it. Luckily, in a former life I rebuilt turbos so this...

    My phone has been dead for a couple days.

    I pride myself on being able to reply to your emails or PMs quickly, but my phone has bit the dust so I no longer get notifications. Since I'm pretty much out in the shop 90% of the day, I only know about emails/PMs when I sit down in front of my computer. I hope to resolve this quickly, but...
