A Blitz K3-450R turbocharger is paired with an oil cooler.

Engine
Blitz turbo kit (¥460,000)…
…is the basis for a carefully tuned setup. Stainless pipes and intercooler piping fill the engine bay, and a front-mounted intercooler is paired with a larger radiator. The exhaust piping is also widened, producing a deep, powerful boxer-engine sound.

This kit works with the stock ECU, so a HKS F-CON V fuel controller is all that's needed to tune it. It delivers strong power and is recommended even for beginners.

An oil cooler for the transmission (by Trust) is mounted at the left front. It helps prevent heat fade, which can make it difficult to shift gears…
…and helps keep shifting smooth.

A lightweight floor bar is used to increase rigidity!

Body
Ducts and a vented hood provide excellent cooling.

Strengthening body rigidity is a hidden trick in performance sport compacts. Even a body already reinforced by the manufacturer gets stiffer through BOZZ's custom work.
BOZZ's magic centers on clever aero details that also direct airflow to the engine while pressing the car to the road. The goal is maximum aerodynamic performance from a minimal setup.
The front underwing actually uses canards made for an Integra (DC2), neatly adapted to the car.

The intake on the right front sends fresh air to the engine's air cleaner.

The two reinforcement bars behind the rear seat are actually factory parts—high-performance sport sedans are already tuned this far by the manufacturer.
System
The car comes with a floor bar, but switching to an aluminum part cuts its weight…
…by half.
The stock engine hood is modified: the standard duct is removed and a custom outlet duct is installed.
The downforce from a GT wing can dent many trunks. This underside reinforcement is the solution.
This GP Sports wing flexes under drag to produce the proper downforce.
