Right got a date in July for a remap but what can I do before to get the most out of it?

Got a 290lph Hrc fuel pump
Panel filter
Sports cat downpipe
Nur spec r system

What's next ?


I do need a ecotec (sp) licenced ecu
Anything else recommend

Thanks

 

What car?
What are you trying to achieve?
Budget?

 

Good points

Car is a uk turbo
Would like 300-350
Budget unknown ATM

Thanks

 

You won't make those figures with the standard turbo mate, you will struggle to make over 320-330 on standard internals and box. Your best bet is to fit a VF28 and run a safe 300-310bhp.

 

Hi ljf is that turbo a direct replacement And 300bhp would be plenty be happy with a good curve more than actual bhp.

What intercooler would you recommend

Thanks

 

i have a newage wrx intercooler,tdo5 16g and rest is like yours and i been told when i remap will be good for 320bhp but i,m gonna ask for 300ish to be safe.


also a 3 port boost solinoid is a good purchase as you get better boost control ,so im told

 

ANything you need to know don't hesitate to ask me fella

Ecutek licensed ECU is what you need, get a post up in the wanted section

 

Bigger injectors

 

Okay thanks mate will post up in the wanted section

 

Yes mate a VF28 is a direct fit and will produce a good early spool up which is what matters for a nice fast road car on a Uk turbo.


Avoid chasing figures

 

your 440cc injectors are fine for that power but it should be on a TD04 so I'd stick a turbo and better intercooler on it.

 

Thanks yes agree with chasing figures

 

May sell my P1 top mount so you could have that, undecided atm though, will keep you posted

 

Isn't the P1 top mount the same as a STi 5 top mount? If so - i wouldn't bother as it's hardly any different to the std uk one!

 

You will be better off getting a newage sti top mount and a zeros ports under tray.

 

Hardly any different or no different? If hardly any different then I don't really understand your point...
Slightly bigger cores as far as I'm aware and cosmetically a nice difference

 

For cost and ease of fitting I'd disagree as you're only aiming for 300bhp

 

I was told about the bigger core so bought an STi 5 item. My intake temp did not reduce so i surmised that my £80 outlay was a complete waste of money. When i sat my STi item on top of my uk one - they were identical in all but colour - that's my point.
At the very least - if i was gonna upgrade an intercooler - i would be looking at a newage STi i/c - but in reality i would go down the fmic route as the cost would be similar
