Did We Select The Right Gear Ratios?

Gearboxes, brakes, wheel bearings and some quick insight into one of the many reasons why we are switching to a Bosch Motorsport ABS package are all in this quick 'Today at HPA' update!

We are getting back into the swing of things, and the k-swapped Honda CRX project (KRX) is getting closer to hitting the pavement along with the SR20VE swapped Toyota GT86 (SR86) due to race at the end of March.

Also, the 3UZ V8 swapped FJ40 wiring is in the final stages, with just some of the chassis harness left. Andre also covers a common question on how to boot DTM connectors,, which some club-level wiring harness builders ask from time to time. The main takeaway is not to use too much heat when shrinking the boots! It is a very common mistake.

Don't forget to check out the latest giveaway via the link below and the HPA Tuned In podcast episode with Simon Norris of Norris designs titled "108: Twin-Charging — Good Idea or Unnecessary Complication?" Simon has a wealth of knowledge to share including some interesting insight into twin charging setups where both a turbocharger and supercharger are used. With Norris Designs's success over the years across a range of projects, particularly their north-south oriented, twin-charged, short-wheel base Evo IX time attack monster, this is advice worth hearing.

This update came before the members' webinar '344 | How to Tune Haltech Idle Speed Control', which is in your member's webinar archive over on the HPA website.
