FP & Akuma Turbo Testing!

Akuma is proud to announce we will be working with Forced Performance on Beta Testing new Stock Location Turbo Chargers!
We are currently testing new stock location turbos for the Subaru STI/WRX & Subaru Legacy style fitments.

  • Stock Location FP 35R
  • Stock Location FP 30R
  • FP HTA68 with 8CM hotside (Legacy Style Fitment)

This will allow us to only offer great power but keep your car minimally modified by keeping the turbo's stock location. Both the 30R & 35R feature dual ball-bearing center cartridges and HTA Billet Compressor wheel technology. We have all three turbos in-stock ready to be shipped or installed/tuned at our shop here in NJ.

AKUMA GT-R SM and BM Intake Kits

As many of you may know we have been busy working on custom part and calibration services for the GT-R community for some time now. I am very proud to announce that we will now be mass producing products to the community. The first launch will be our intake systems. That's right, we are offering 2 solutions!

The intakes are offered in a wrinkle black finish with black silicone, for that stealth look.

Options:

  • AKUMA GTR SM INTAKE (SM= Stock MAF size)
  • AKUMA GTR BM INTAKE (BM= Big MAF size)

Benefits/Features:

  • The BM kit si the drop in answer for the guys running stage 2 and big turbo applications
  • No need to worry about maxing out the MAF on your high WHP GTR anymore!
  • This is your big turbo intake solution
  • The BM kit will require tuning to compensate for the 3" MAF housing.  This will cause the vehicle to run lean without tuning.

Specifications:

  • Constructed from 6061 Aluminum
  • Seamless ONE PIECE design, no welds in the intact tract!
  • Superior flow
  • SM requires no tuning (The SM kit will not throw any check engine codes or lean conditions)
  • K&N flow cone filters included
  • Silicon reducers (2 per kit) included (for removal of OEM accordion pieces)
  • All the necessary clamps are provided in both kits for a plug and play installation with only a screwdriver and 10mm socket!
