I will be shortly getting a vf35 turbo and was wondering what other mods i will need on my 00 classic. Am i right in thinking i will need fuel pump and injectors?
I am not sure what injectors my uk classic has!

Brun

You have 440's which will be fine for a VF35. I'd fit a walboro 255 pump anyway as your existing one may be getting tired at 8 years old. Decat would be good or at least a sports cat followed by a remap to bring it all together. I had a similar setup + a FMIC and got 313/300

depends on the year matt, as yours is a 00 car it will have the 440's, good for around the 330bhp mark and can run up to 350 maxxed out iirc...best to get a fuel pressure reg and walbro fuel pump aswell as the usual breathing mods,decat etc and an intercooler upgrade depending on how much power u want and of course a remap.....if you have the money get 550's as they will give more head room and scope for more power down the line

Burt, i already have full decat, green filter and Ecutek remap. So i will just need fuel pump, fuel pressure reg and a tweak on the map?

yeah thats all mattster, u might not even need an FPR, but for improved safety and the extra 100 quid i would get one, there aint that much work in fitting those bits either, you should see easily over the 300bhp mark with that done, i did it on mine last week and fitted an apexi power fc...some difference in power, the car pull so strong now youll love the VF35, makes a lovely chatter noise too

What do you think about me killing my gearbox? is it likely to not last long?

burt2000

iTrader: (1)

just depends man, if the box is in good condition and is treated sympathectically it may well last some have well over 350bhp on standard boxes, its torque that hurts them, and apparantly slamming into 3rd is the killer for alot, launches and aggressive changes will not help it or the clutch either

mattster12

iTrader: (5)

so if you are say in 3rd already and you boot it but are carefull with changes it should be ok?
When can can afford it i am gonna get a ppg anyway.

Yep. if its a fit one, and is mapped and driven sympathetically you should be ok...touchwood etc..

Shmerman

I wasn't so lucky....and that was when I still had the TD04 and 300lbft.

New_scooby_04

iTrader: (4)

LOL Are you a fan of drag starts etc..

Very much depends on use, both your use and that of the previous owners! Mine had had a good life and I'm gentle with gearboxes!

There are no assurances though! Might be best to budget for the box going!

Shmerman

iTrader: (14)

Some seem to last and others dont. I was second owner and the first was a lady who I doubt was into drag racing.
I know of UK box's lasting a fair bit with close to 400lbft plenty of track and strip work. And mine that had an easy life up to a point of 6 launches and a week later it spat a tooth off 2nd on an unloaded drive to work (snowing).

I would budget it in my costs I was was you mattster.

Yep, hope for the best, prepare for the worst!

I am not one to really rag the gears anyway, i am always sympathetic with cars and how i drive them, to a point

just recently upgraded my98 to a vf35,mods are apexi powerfc,full de-cat,walbro pump,green panel filter,samco hoses for intercooler,440 injectors,3 port boost solenoid,mapped by jollygreenmonster now a nice rapid car

Just done the same on mine (less the injectors as its a 99 with 440's) but with sti 8 intercooler and 3 port boost solenoid also mapped by JGM . Feels plenty quick enough for me at the moment! Big brakes certainly come in useful now !

mike799

forgot to add 3 port boost solenoid,with the sti 8 intercooler did you find it easy to fit?yes that's what i could do with now uprating brakes

what max boost pressure are you running?

andyxros

(sorry to hijack) dose it work noticably better with the sti intercoooler on as i have same mods just standard intercooler

Shmerman

iTrader: (14)

The standard intercooler becomes a limiting factor in to how much boost you can run. The more boost pressure the higher charge temps get.....if your intercooler isnt very efficient this can lead det. Having much larger core/increased efficiency lets gives you a much better safety margin letting your mapper run more boost.

HTH

cheers for that . its been maped at 1.1 bar in top gears a bit lower in first and second so not that high but still fast so maybe ok. might get on R/R see what its doing and might get a bigger one when the upgrade bug kicks in again
