Installed the billet CNC Innovation trumpets. The last trumpet is touching the clutch cylinder pump. Need to shave of some material or change to a shorter clutch pump to give the clearance. Sounds gloriously nice and much better power right up the higher rev range to 8krpm.Good upgrade for the engine bay. The current clutch cylinder pump is from Honda installed by the previous

 After about 30k km of driving pleasure in the ke70 4age 20v, it's time to swap out the old LSD oil for the rear axle for something more protection.Trying out the new os giken 80W-250 v2 thicker lsd oil to reduce the friction and also noise from the higher 4.8 FD.Hope to be able to protect the drive train from the abuse of hard driving. Total used 1.2ltr of lsd oil. Nice solid

 After a short stint of running the fujitsubo regalis r, found that the power and response of the engine is considerably muted just like the sound. Probably due to the huge muffler and piping size.Not wanting to sacrifice the nature and response of the 4throttle 4age 20v, I've decided to throw all the quietness out of the window and go all out with the power. Found a jdm Trust Beatmax

 Due to the loud exhaust noise from my raw and unobstructed cabin. Decided to change to a bigger and quiet exhaust.Managed to find a huge fgk fujitsubo legalis r type evolution. Inlet 2.7 inches and outlet 4.5 inches. Length 24.5 inches width 10.5 inches. Taken out from a subaru legacy 2.0T.Cross fingers hopping for the best. Comparison between the old and the new exhaust

 After installation of the Tomei Poncam.I did not set the cam in proper position. So figure out the best way to optimise the cam is to dial the cam. Send it to a dial cam specialist called deng dial cam to set it proper. Found out that the center line for the intake was slightly off at 124' due to head was skim w metal head gasket. And exhaust was set at 102' by previous mechanic.

Hopefully no starting issue after this. Need to place a heat shield to prevent the hot manifold from failing the starter. Installing
