ErikS Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I thought Aaron was playing with diesels now? Aaron plays with anything he can get his hands on .. err ... you know what I mean. They appear suspiciously similar to the 996 calipers in size. If they are they won't clear pegs. a minimal 3 mm spacer is needed. They are the practically the same dimensions, we put them and a 996 side by side and your can't eyeball the difference. Damn I need to stop by and see this car. Looks awesome. Anytime you are in Houston send me a PM! Good choice on kids car seat! I've got the Recaro Pro-ride for my son in my R and my wife's Forester. For my car I used a foam pool noodle under the base to make it sit flatter. Which helps save my R seats a bit. We flip it to forward facing just before he was 3yrs. Only thing is I wish our cars had the bottom anchors like the p2 cars. Thanks for the advice, I have an old broken noodle I could re-purpose. It was just a test fit. Still trying to convince the wife that while its the fastest car we own, its also the safest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin. Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 remind me what seat brackets you are using, are they custom made? or does Recaro make their own brackets for our cars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikS Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 remind me what seat brackets you are using, are they custom made? or does Recaro make their own brackets for our cars? Custom made from a shop in Seattle, I think it is called Speedware Motorsports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I came to the realization that an off the shelf tune (ARD) is not going to cut it with the intake manifold, so I have purchased an ECU from Aaron (Tightmopedman9) and will be working with him using TunerPro RT to get things sorted out. I want to get the K24 dialed in and break in the engine for a few thousand miles, then go bigger with the turbo. Aaron has been very communicative and helpful, anyone wanting a custom tune I would definitely recommend him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINN Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Any idea what you guys will boost the K24 to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 From what I have read it gets out of its efficiency range after 20 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy. Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Nice, have had nothing but good experiences with the tuning with Aaron as well. I plan to get to around 18psi with my k24 hopefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'm seeing 20psi on mine now and when I had it set a bit higher you could definitely feel it dropping off compared to where it is now. Are you looking to go bigger with the turbo altogether or would you want to build a hybrid with what you have now? I'm not looking for much more power than I have now, but B_Mac has me pretty convinced to go to a GT28R for a reliable and linear 320awhp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go bigger, with the intake manifold its silly not to aim for at least 400 awhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Very true, that's a good choice. I'm curious what you'll end up with, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. I really love how the car is coming together, good on you for continuing to push forward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 28-71 or bust... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modman Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) 28-71 or bust... Anything smaller than that and you might as well keep the stock turbo on. On the 2.5 I'd go with a 2876 and higher Edited December 12, 2014 by ModMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Use a 3071 instead. 2871 is to restricted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
