Working with the guys @ RR_Racing on a way to make this family "suv" faster (weight wise) lol. Rafi has been working vigorously on new dyno - tunes. He sent me a new one for race gas. So, I decided to dyno
our progress. Nice increase!!
Hopefully in the near future we will be testing E45 tunes. Stay Tuned!

Did you have to modify the positioning of the intercooler to get your bumper support to fit back where it was without any other modifications other than the custom work you did by choice? I'm seeing where mine is not fitting without modification.

The intercooler get's secured by the reinforcement (tight fit). The upper pipes need to be aligned cleaner

His product is second to none! As you can see from the pics it's really well made



Easy to install: Simply push down on shifter cover and twist shifter counter clock wise to remove





Cool thing is the carbon in the shift **** is flowing the same way as the factory trim!


how can I can my hands on one of those?

Hi Biggame where are you located? I’m in Whittier would love to meet up with you in person during an event and check out your ride. I’m really curious about this supercharger kit. I would just need to find an installer here.

Please get the E-45 tune done!! I ran E85 straight in my Evo X and it made tons of power. Can’t wait for the results bro. Subscribed and ordering a blue F start button. Thanks for the write up very informative and detailed.

Perfect cutout!


Bumper installed! With the upper shield removed you can see how nice everything fits. Also, easy access to the oil reservoir


do do you have a picture from the front of the grill in day light so you can see what it looks like with bumper cut showing the inter cooler?

Check with Rafi, they work with shops out here for your install

I'm Going to be at Qualcomm/SDCCU stadium in San Diego for Extreme auto fest! Should have 1/8 mile drags. (If it's not to hot)

**EDIT**
* Just learned track will not be in operation on this day! We will not be there after all

Currently working with Rafi @RRRacing on a couple tunes. One of which is a E45/55 tune. Stay Tuned!

Thanks for the complement!
