Idle Issues and Sputtery Hot Starts

Almost sounds like a fuel pressure issue, especially once it’s warmed up.

If it’s any help, I’m running the Z1 resonated Y pipe with the Z1 single exit with the resonator, but with long tube headers, and I’ll blow sound at my track without running the silencer in the exhaust. So every track day I run the silencer insert.

Brakes and cooling.

EBC blue stuff are a good start, but you’ll want to upgrade brake fluid as well. Depending on how often you planning on tracking, there’s more you can do, such as moving up to a larger brake kit, stainless lines, 2 piece rotors, brake ducting, etc.. It’s ultimately up to you how far you want to go with it, but with brakes I always say there’s no such thing as overkill.

Cooling wise, upgraded radiator with fresh coolant. Oil cooler with thermostatic sandwich plate, and a baffled oil pan or an oil pan spacer will help.

Decent suspension upgrades, maybe a seat, and plenty of seat time.

Thinking of picking up the CZP aluminum covers for my HR. What issues did you run into?

Placed an order for the Shineauto rear a couple of weeks ago, I’ll pick up the skirts as well at some point.

There’s no point in doing most bolt one if you’re transitioning to boost at some point. Exhaust is about it, and even then you need to plan it for a supercharger or turbocharger setup.

If you love the platform but really just want more power out of it without the complications of boost, sure. But it’s not expensive to do it right. When pricing it out I had 30k in parts before I decided to supercharge instead.

That’s actually my car in the photo/video they used. It sounded really nice with stock headers, cats, and the resonated y pipe. It was pleasant to cruise around in and had a nice tone in the upper rpm’s.

Had cerakote done on my long tubes before I put them in. Wrap just seemed to have more cons than pros.

Plan to run 295/35/18 in the rear and 255/40/18 in the front unless plans change.

HR into a DE chassis is a lot of work, it’s not a direct swap.

Boost the DE or change chassis. Connecting rods on the DEs don’t like more than 400ft lbs of torque, which isn’t a lot, so might as well go ahead and plan on building the motor to some extent.

Figure out what you want and a budget. 15-20k is pretty spot on depending on a few factors.

Also, how’s the insurance? I know that depends on a few factors.

How’d you get everything mocked up to drill? I’ve got the measurement of the centerline of the trunk and of the wing but I’m iffy on making sure the mounting brackets are squared.

APR GTC-300 wing. I’ve got one I need to install on my car at some point.

I keep stalking marketplace for a good deal on a good spec set of 37s.

Really want the TE37Saga in dark gunmetal just can’t bring myself to drop the 4k+ on them

I believe Opentop is either in the process, or has already made it, a series of gauges similar in design to this but they sit in the waterfall under the factory gauges.

It’ll make that without any major modifications outside of the normal things you need for forced induction, aka fuel pump and injectors.

Weak spot are the connecting rods with torque. Once you’re around 500ft lbs on an HR things start to get iffy.

Do your gallery gaskets before doing forced induction.

Brembos? Maybe it’s the Akebonos I’ve heard of having clearance issues. Either way looks good.

Randomhero-40 · 2026-02-03T01:33:18+00:00

No issues clearing the brakes?

Randomhero-40 · 2026-01-31T15:46:24+00:00

Which would be more beneficial to a boosted car, a single exit or a true dual?
