Update:
Full exhaust is on, and I should have some pictures later today. The single tip has been a bit of a pain to get centered, but it will be perfect when done.

Unfortunately, Nick Williams black 102mm throttle bodies are on backorder. We were going with FAST 102mm throttle body, but turns out what we thought was a drive-by-wire setup turned out to be cable only.

It won't be dyno tuned until that shows, up but we are getting closer.
My builder/tuner is putting photos up on a Box site for me as things move forward.

Did you have to change fuel injectors going with the 102 or did you just choose to do so? I just did a medium sized cam and have been thinking about the 102 intake and tb. I lost about 9-10 miles per gallon but am fearful that going with the 102 setup that I would lose even more. Important bc I still need to maintain daily drivability.

Upgraded injectors were required by my tuner for the tune we are going to put on it.

If you are going to increase your air volume, you need to increase your fuel volume too; one way or another.

Nick Williams TB should arrive this week.
Unfortunately, we have run into a somewhat familiar issue (only happens on some cars) where the FAST GSX-R intake interferes with the wiper cowl/firewall.
We are having to shim the cradle down a bit; which isn't terrible as it lowers the COG a tad. However, that also costs a small bit of ground clearance as well.

Which is why I purchased a 92mm FAS intake.....

First run on dyno with base tune, and it's better than we expected!

Only made one base tune pass on dyno so far, but it was over that number.

I have video and charts coming.
