I will add that it's funny to see Admin Tuning and SOHO exclusively promote themselves on FB. Nick seemed to post here occasionally, but my opinion is that he knows the forum would back you and cause him a headache. Same to be said for Admin vs R/T, Seb, MA, etc.

Keep up the dedication to the platform! Your prior A2A kit was my Z goal and the new ACE Kit has taken its place!
Yeah, the first time I ever used facebook outside of keeping in touch with friends and family was when I built this new ACE kit to get the word around better. By that time Soho had their "followers" and I missed out on a lot of that audience. I really do not enjoy facebook.

I don't mind competition but it sucks when you are the one that comes up with the idea, take the time to turn it into a reality, spend the money to bring it to the community, then someone swoops in to steal it from under you. I beleive their exact words were "theres only 1 way to make an air to air kit for this stillen platform so we didnt have a choice, just like a cell phone, one company made it then others copied it"... Guess I proved that wrong.

And don't worry, I am dedicated to this platform and will always be coming out with something better.

Hey team! This kit looks amazing compared to other options out there!! I've got a bone stock motor with upgraded cooling for track days: bigger radiator plus oil cooler. I'm in Denver with roads varying from 5280ft (mile high) up to 11k ft on I70 for mountain drives.

- Has anyone installed this kit from stock?
- Has anyone used this kit at elevation?
- Are there additional mods for a highly stable/safe build? I've read about using the CJ fuel top hat, and something about an e85 sensor - but don't know the efficacy of those recommendations.

Note, I have a '08 Subaru spec.B @ 408awhp / 454awtq so I'm familiar with the boosted life...and e85 life for that matter lol

I can help out here...

Lots of guys have installed this kit from stock. What questions do you have surrounding this? I can email you the install instructions if that helps.

BTW. When I developed my Gen 1 kit it was in my garage when I lived in Denver. Miss that place. This thing would be a blast going up pikes peak, backside of Evergreen and boulder canyon to name few!

Mods should be FRS, Resonated Test pipes, AFR and Boost gauge. If you are going E85 its nice to know what E content you have unless you have flex fuel tuning.

Hit up Jason at demarsjcd@gmail.com He is in Englewood CO. He just finished his install and his car is at the shop getting his new amuse bumper painted. BTW.

Thanks, this is very helpful! Heh yeah I love it here...having two mountain road carvers would be great though the Z is fun now...the spec.B is like a toy and just does anything I want heh.

This is the first I’ve heard of test pipes - would that be ok to do at a later point? I’m hoping to work on this by myself for now since all the garages are busy and then get it tuned by boostcreep or 5250 at some later point - and could have them do the test pipes before the tune.

Tell me more about the flex fuel tuning - what’s needed to pull that off?
My spec.B is a pain to have to measure the e content all the time and load the appropriate e70 or e85 maps I have; and if the Z could be flex that’d be dreamy.

You'll need a Zeitronix kit installed and a custom tune with Ecutek. I went with Eugene Turkov for tuning and running the Zeitronix flex fuel kit. Super convenient being able to pump without having to test the content. Highly recommend reaching out to him!

Hey Guys,
Just got my car back from RT Tuning with the SC installed. Came back with some pretty solid dyno numbers for a car that has almost 70k miles. 543 Whp and 426 Tq @ 14 Psi on 93 Octane. First I want to thank Aaron for making an awesome kit and the constant improvements that he makes to this kit. His dedication to his craft is unparalleled. Secondly, I'd like to thank Erik, Vince and the rest of the guys at RT Tuning for all of their knowledge and advice thru this whole process.
The only issue that I am left with is the annoying chirping/fluttering of the Tial BOV between 2.5k and 3.5k Rpm at low to mid throttle. I know this issue has been addressed numerous times here and the most common fix recommended is to increase the spring pressure in the BOV. Has anyone tried this with success? And also I am thinking about possibly trying out the Precision Turbo 50mm BOV. If anyone has any input, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I can chime in here since I've tried everything. I have the precision turbo bov, the q50 with 4 different springs tried and its still there. The precision turbo bov makes it quieter but its still there. From what I've read on other forums, people said its the location of the bov. Heres a video of what your describing.

as you can see it only happens when boost is around 0 psi

Thanks for the input. I knew you would know exactly what I was talking about since I've read all of your posts on this issue. So what have you decided to run with after all of your testing? Do you know if anyone has tried the Tial QRJ? I'm not opposed to trying out other possible solutions for the good of all of us.

It depends on what you have done to the exhaust too on a S/C Z.
