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.

Look what the mother land brought us today! Its so JDM that the newspaper packaging is in Japanese. What we have here is the HKS Kansai transmission oil cooler for the R35 GT-R. For our serious track junkies out there, this is a must for your Godzilla. As you can see in the pictures, it comes with a fiberglass duct to direct air directly to the cooler, all the accessories you need to mount the kit, and the cooler itself. the kit mounts on the driver side front bumper right by the washer fluid reservoir. This kit screams engineering but it doesn't surprise us since it does come from HKS Kansai. Under hard driving laps after laps on the track, the R35 GT-R's transmission oil temperature will be overheating and causing the car going into limp mode. HKS Kansai notices the problem and developed their own transmission oil kit.

As we disassemble the motor on our Mazdaspeed 3 build, we are also looking for signs why the engine popped.

After a took a closer look at everything we have found a MAJOR issue with the intake valves. All of them was covered in what looks to be sludge. I apologize in advance for poor picture, as it was difficult to get proper lighting inside the head. Take a look!

As I walked into work today, the first thing I see are these four GREEN looking stick things. I paused for a second and it finally clicked to me, these are the brand new Tein Super Street Circuit Masters Ultimate Spec coilovers with dual EDFCs. Not are these only adjustable on the fly in-cabin for compression, they can also be adjusted for rebound. For those who are afraid to lose the functions of electronic dampening these are the coilovers for you. On the EDFC control box you can have 3 different damper settings for different driving conditions.

TEIN Super Racing (SRC) coilovers feature Teflon coated mono-tube constructed dampers in a full length adjustment to rid height separate from suspension stroke. The SRC design utilizes external reservoirs both front and rear allowing for independent dampening force adjustment to compression and rebound. Pillowball uppermounts are also incorporated for added suspension response by eliminating deflection at the uppermount.

Another pretty piece that came in are the forge actuators. These are nothing short of spectacular from functionality and looks. These actuators will benefit boost taper up top compared to the stock pieces, control boost better, and also a nice looking addition to your engine bay. GTR actuators from Forge Motorsports are adjustable and come with three different springs: 10-15 psi, 14-18 psi, and 19-24 psi. Like all turbo setups, getting the correct spring for your wastegate is critical. An improperly setup wastegate will cause boost lag or creep and reduce the performance of your GT-R.

Our Endless brake pads have come in as well. These pads are top notch and should make our GT-R very capable for both street and track use. These not only offer an increased performance in stopping power but also provided excellent initial bite. Check them out!

We have gotten our first couple of mods in the car, and still waiting the rest of the parts. Below you will see some of the finest parts from the mother land. First is the Mines full titanium catback exhaust, the fit and finish is one of the best we've seen. We have also included the Espirit intercooler with the pipe kit. We will be utilizing the HKS EVC 6 to control boost on our Akuma Road Course Spec Turbos. Watch our for updates!

Akuma Motorsports has recently been given the opportunity to build one of the most well rounded track car the GT-R community will see. The goal of this particular build is to have a car that you can drive to the track, run phenomial times, and at the end of the day drive the car home without issues. the car is not meant to be a full drag car, or a dyno queen. What you will see is a car that is prepped for road racing and track events. Parts that were chosen for this particular build covers all aspects of the vehicle, from the intricate mods for power to handling. Exact mod list will be posted soon as the build progresses further. Below and above are the teaser pics for the build, enjoy!

As some of you may know we recently opened in July of this year, 2009. I had spent the last few years working at Cobb Tuning in SLC, UT and decided it was time to branch out on my own. I have to say it was the best choice I could have made. Not to say my time at Cobb was bad or uneventful, quite the contrary is true. I was able to work on some of the most challenging projects I have faced in my career. I was able to make some great friends and important contacts, and possibly the most important factor, I was able to open Akuma.

At Akume we have been very fortunate to remain at the forefront of the tuning and Spo-Com industry. At a time when some businesses are closing their doors, we have been very lucky. Our customers are some of the best I have had the chance to meet in my career! Four months later and we have so much to talk about. From GTR's to MS3's we have worked on everything. We are strengthening our industry contacts and developing products fro a few different platforms.

We have so many things in the pipeline for you guys. Keep an eye out on our blog for updates and pics. I will be sure to show you what we have been working on and get teaser pics along with dyno plots ASAP! For the GTR guys we have a very special TURBO KIT (maybe more than one option), and a few big power adders. Expect bundled packages with tunes too! For the MS3 guys, we now have a full MOTOR BUILD PROGRAM! Featuring CP Pistons, Carrillo Rods, and so many other top shelf bits. The SUBY guys can expect a full Akuma demo car with the new Cosworth ECU/manifold and < script src="/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/langs/en.js" type="text/javascript"> custom fabricated parts! We also have a new AKUMA exhaust line for the Suby guys! 2008 STI pics to follow. Expect 4+ 10 second Suby's next season. The EVO-X guys will get some crazy group buys and install deals, not to mention an AKUMA tuned Group-N-Rally car. Akuma just bought a Honda S2000 for a shop car build as well.

OK, breathe... LOL. I will be sure to get PICS, DYNO plots, and so much more. Thanks for reading and stay tuned!!!!

Cheers

>Akuma Motorsports presents the public with a project we’ve been looking forward to. We will be swapping a Rb26DETT motor into this 1975 Datsun 260z.

As the build goes on, we will keep an update but the car got dropped off today. We will be taking apart this old school ride, so keep it locked here for pics!!

All of our parts are finally in, including our Akuma Road Course Spec turbos. Besides the parts that were listed in the posts below, we now have Okada Project coils, Endless Stainless brake lines, Deatschwerks 730 cc injectors that were custom made for us, and Synapse GT-R BOV kit.

We will have more updates, final mod list, and our dyno sheet coming soon.  Stay tuned!
