BTW, 'ol Dave there isn't tooting his horn, so I'll do it for him. He used to DEAL with Alpine Development that made those turbo kits. I'd take his advice on those more than anyone.

Actually used to be a partner in the biz, but we won't get into that..lol

I actually looked through a lot of their old tunes and revised them for more power on US 91 octane. They were VERY conservative to say the least. Never know what kind of crap petrol people put in their cars.

I don't want to be a dick, but the car is not in a good condition ! The way it accelerates is pathetic...

My advice is to listen to the "old boys" and you will save a lot of money, time and braking parts

You need semi slicks for sure. R888 or A048 will do the job.

Great to see RD Coupe at the Ring !

Congrats brother

Of course

From 37mph ( 60kmh ) to 80mph ( 130kmp) my N/A Coupe is 5sec faster which is a lot ! That's not with the best tune and with a passenger.

I think your engine is not in very good condition or you have heat soak problems. If you can log the data from IAT sensor will be helpful.

Do you have stock brake calipers and pads ?

Engine is a full rebuild not long ago on 1.8 pistons, which bit of the video are you looking at? Its a LOT of uphill sections.

Intake is a k&n typhoon, fed from front fog. Totally standard ecu wise though.
