20B Conversion Pg #4 Modifications & Upgrades
 |
Now that our 20B conversion is complete, it is time to perform some upgrades and modifications to handle the additional power.
We upgraded to the Carbonetics Carbon LSD. The Tanabe Medalion exhaust was replaced with the less restrictive APEXi PS REVO system. We also installed Hawk HPS Brake Pads and the Tweakit Idler Pulley Kit.

Summer / Fall 2015 we performed some fuel upgrades including relocating the Fuel Pressure Regulator and installing 3 x 1000cc Primary Injectors. We then did some dyno tuning. Additionally, while on the dyno we discovered the limit of the EXEDY Twin Disc clutch kit and replaced it with the Triple Disc Clutch Kit and ACT Monoloc Wedge Collar. We also switched to a 1.16 AR Housing on the GT42 RS Turbo
