In 2018 I looked for brake upgrades and couldn't find anything that seemed worthy. I naively thought I could just find some Brembo's that would work. Are there recommendations for my car as far as brake upgrades. I welcome your suggestions.
My Rage BBK kit just arrived today. Ships from Taiwan. I got 355mm rotors in the front with new calipers and 320mm in the rear. They also offer titanium pistons, brackets, brake pads, and stainless steel lines. These are tailor-made for the FK7. PM me if you are interested.

The more I think about it, and ponder what you've said, I think maybe it might have been better to go with the smallest big turbo upgrade (GT2860RS) to minimize lag and still get the best of everything else.
Correct, I have a real hard time believing you will beat a type R from a dig , the lag on that prl big turbo with a cvt will be terrible from a dig, look at that silver surface guy, he said he has the w1 and the car lags terribly from a dig in the races I saw, all the car pulls away from it at the start, and the w1 is much smaller , now imagine the lag on that prl big turbo from a stand still race.

I'm not trying to be a jackass. Great work with your build. It's always nice to see any platform being pushed to it's max but with these dyne numbers



...I don't think you'll take a Type R. I could be wrong...but I doubt it.
Reflash on an R's ecu, and it will walk away from him. No bolt ons even required. It's not that you can't make the 1.5's quick, it's just the simple fact that Honda engineers built the R to be a "for real performance automobile". Unless you have driven one, it's hard to describe how much higher level it is than any of the 1.5T's.

Oh for sure. I just think if an CVT has a big turbo, it should make way more than 300whp. I'm working on a big turbo TypeR and it should make 550whp by the time you throw E85 into the mix (and on stock internals).
You must keep in mind that when you go big turbo there isn't just one size turbo available. 27Won has a couple and PRL offers 4. I opted for the the #2 option as I didn't plan on going more than 300whp.
