Hi,
I've had my MY96 scoob for a while now and have started the slipery slope of modifications.

* Blitz with piperX induction pipe
* Scoobysport BB and DP (dont want to remove ALL the cats)
* AP Uprated Clutch

I am currently waiting for the Boost gauge to come into stock @ scoobymania so I can then buy a Dawes MBC.

1) Do I really need an AFR if I use the Dawes?

ok.. I dont have masses of money so I was wondering if theres any little "tweaks" I could do for reasonable improvements.

2) Would an STi TMIC make much difference?

3) Are there any other mods I could do that wouldn't cost the earth (I've considered the LINK but £700 + £95 insurance put me off a bit)

Thanks.
Diz

 

You can build the AFR for under £20 (If I managed it any one can).

There was a post yesterday from someone selling a Prodrive ECU for a MY96 - Have look & see if its gone.

 

have you done anything with the brakes or how about some uprated springs.I think both these need improved on earlier cars before power.

 

saw that but a bit suspisious...

do I NEED an AFR though?

 

I was definatly considering fitting braded hoses and 5.1 but I can't fit 4pots under my speedline 17" alloys.

I'll investigate prices some more thanks.

 

I think its fair to say that most scoobies run rich - mine seems to on WOT, but if you run tall you can see it leaning out.

However, not everyone's car is the same & if you're going to play with boost then I think AFR is a minimum, £20 for the sake of an engine ain't much. Many others on the BBS would probably recommend Knock & EGT also.

Thanks Chris.. I'll bare that in mind then

probably order them at the same time as the gauge

Should keep the smile on my face for a couple of weeks
Thanks
Diz.

 

If you want to go a step further with the brakes I can reccommend the Pagid grooved disks and FR/blue pads for 2pots - with the braided hoses and 5.1 fluid they're not bad, relatively speaking

A distinct improvement over standard anyway

Is the STi TMIC a direct replacement for the UK one, as this is something I have been wondering about?
