Meet the gentleman's s14.5 racecar BooHoo. A car that is easily driven on the street, driven to the track with the ability to be raced and be fast, then delivering it's exhausted raced out driver home ready for another.

This high end beast oozes quality with its high end components and safety equipment assembled with care and attention to detail.

Powered by the heart of a Japanese legendary tuning company Tomei being a Genesis 2.2L long engine equipped with their high end components and 272 camshafts.

To be able to dial in and have absolute accurate ignition timing to ensure engine health a crank trigger kit and upgraded harmonic balancer was added all wired via a custom motorsport loom to a ecu which also has the main safe gaurds in place such as fuel + oil pressure, flex sensor, lambda and oil + fuel temperature.

Strapped to the the side of the engine sits a 6 boost manifold and gtx30/71 and on the other a individual throttle body manifold (itb) and custom intercooler piping mating it all together. The boost is kept under control via a 4 port mac valve and 38mm gate and a gfb fuel reg keeping the fuel pressure to the 1650 injectors. In the fueling department we have twin dw300 pumps submerged in a surge tank in ether e85 or 98 due to the flex tune with the car making an easy 508hp at the rears on just 27psi limited to just 7500. There is plenty more power there and power still is climbing with rpm also but highest hp is not the goal with this ride as 500 makes this beast fast enough and can be unsafe in the wrong hands.

Putting the power down we have a rebuilt series 3 rb25 gearbox and billet direct clutch twin plate, custom shaft and r200 diff with 4.1 ratio and a pair of 10" rims with 265 tyres.

In the braking department has a 300zx master cyl AP front brakes and nissan 2 pots rear being the whole rear end is from a r33 gts-t topped off with some bushed adjustable arms for an accurate alignment and maximum grip plus a gktec brace and gussets has been added in up front.

The inside features a half cage, bride kevlar seats and emtron keypad to allow fine tuning the boost in to match the grip of the surfaces being driven on and a racing steering wheel.

The car is fully resprayed in a colour that pops in the sunlight called messing metallic coming from a bmw m3 which sets the car off glistens gold as it moves up the road. Another great thing with this lovley car is we added modification plates and codes to all the mods on the car to make it a truly hasstle street car and is very easy to drive, very smooth with the quad throttles. The exhaust is another great one being a fully custom made 304ss tig welded 3.5" with a actual high performance catalytic convertor to be rid of harmful gasses to keep authorities happy and a varex rear muffler to make those early am starts and get aways to events easier on the family and or people living next door to continue their beauty sleep on Sunday mornings.
Definitely one to ad to the collection

So awesome now the new software from cobb has now been released so that we can carry out tuning on the new cvt transmission optioned cars. This one in particular has had all the bolt on components ready to go since the lovley owners took delivery of their wrx and as they become avalible and would have to say Matt and Anita have been the pioneers of the cvt wrx here in aus with great results. Stock standard the car made a little under 160kw back in 2022 before any bolt-ons were added and a little over 200kw as shown on the graphs blue line on stock tune with the bolt-ons which include a StepUp Automotive 3.5" exhaust, ets top mount intercooler, StepUp charge pipe, turbosmart bov and ets air intake. Now with the cobb protune making a a healthy 227kw with plenty more in the tank it is a whole different car to everyone who has experienced it.
Thankyou Matt and Anita the journey has been fantastic oh and we know you will love the new cold start mode as a added bonus
