so peeps.. what should the next stage be?

 

apexi intake... check

japspeed exhaust system.. check

japspeed decats.. check

2x Bailey DV26 BOVs.. check

HKS EVC 3.. check

ECU chipped and mapped to 1 bar.. check

nasty annoying rusty lumps removed and welded and sorted at the bodyshop... check

 

fuel pump a good next step? so far i've managed to bring all that together including the purchase of the car for £2.1k and am on a budget. suggestions?

underdrive pulley

Clutch and Flywheel

Alloy Pulleys

New Stock Pump or datawech Pump

Twin Filter set up

Intercoolers

next stage sell the car :)

underdrive pulley - got to do the belts at some point too anyway, and the pulleys gotta come off to fix a minor crank seal leak i do believe anyway.

intercooler upgrade makes sense. still got the stockers. think i'd rather uprate the twin setup rather than go FMIC. keep the flow to the rad then ;)

 

next stage sell the car

- rolandas.....be gone foul beast! made that mistake when i flogged the Rx7! not making it again!

chiped maped to one bar, who and how much for that work bud,?

step 1 - i went down the boost controller route. managed to pick up a used HKS EVC 3 for £85. cheaper option would be jets, but i'd rather have a toy to do it than jets, and it gives you more flex in the long run to fiddle with the boost.

step 2 - ecu is a pre-mapped stage 1 tuned chip on a socketed ecu and i got this sorted via a mate. The chips are cheap to buy, but the socketting and/or finding a socketed ecu is a pain, and you need to make sure you have had a few things spec'd up on the car like intakes/exhaust/decat/boost controller(or jets)

 

i'm still planning on having this ecu mapped/dyno'd but not straight away. want to uprate the intercooler setup before i do that, make the most of it as remapping is expensive.. and everytime you change something, in theory, you should do it again.
