[Guest]

call me a sucker for punishment but I was having fun with the reading of the internals thread!!

beem me up scotty!

realy want to see your perceptions as to when should you do the bolt ons exhaust, plenums, turbo, injectors, clutch, auto's etc.

tell me this wont be interesting?

Ok this won't be interesting!!!!

Gee it's a bit of a worry when a tuner doesn't know when to change the externals!!!

Ok we need to get one thing clear before we start. Whatever I say Steve will disagree with, within the next hour. :lol:

I think changing the externals all depends on your budget and what power your after. If your on an unlimited budget decide on the power figure you need and mod the car in one hit to achieve that.

If you are on a tight budget and need to do it in steps this is the steps I would take.

1) 2nd CAI with better filter

2) improve exhaust flow, I would remove the centre muffler. If you can afford it get a new system. The one I have is great from Tuffy's in Sydney or the APS is also good. There are a few good one out there but there is also alot of crap.

3)Get a piggyback cpu or an edit if its available.

4) Bigger injectors and fuel pump

About here is where I would start thinking of doing the internals

5) Valve springs and intercooler

6) Nizpro intake plenum

After this I have no idea but by this stage it should be enough for most.

Now I'll sit back and wait for Steve to disect it one quote at a time and tell me how wrong I am.

Geea.

I think CAI is the first step.

Next would be piggy back ECU or MOTEC or Edit, then exhaust (remove centre muffler only if you are on a budget but preferably get full exhaust)

Valve springs

Injectors

Fuel pump

Intercooler

Gearbox/trans/tailshaft upgrade (maybe look at upgrading axles; dpends on how you drive, how much power and how much money you want to spend)

Intake manifold

Engine internals upgrade (billet rods, forged pistons; if you are chasing mega power maybe a custom steel crank)

Bigger turbo

I was leaving that and others as fuel for later

[curious]

then you should change the colour of the window washer bottle cap from yellow to red

Also a 2-stage Ambi Pur injection system can get some serious power gains!!
