turbochris Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hey, so I've decided to actually start and make a progress on my gt turbo finally after a year of ownership. Progress will be slow however due to being a student. I'm ideally looking to achieve the 180bhp mark and was wondering from the list below of what I need to get if I'm heading in the right direction. Most of this I've got from looking on here but just double checking before I start to order things. Also is the following brake set up suitable?Brakes - EBC Turbo Groove Sport front discs, EBC Yellow stuff front pads, Rear Discs and pads and TMDstainless steel braided brake lines.Engine - Hks Actuator, Electronic boost controller, Fuel cut defender, Magnecor Ignition Leads, Ngk indium spark plugs.Then will I be ready to turn up the boost to about 1. bar?My gt is the 1993 model and has the ct9 turbo, uprated manifold, exhaust system and decat and a dump valve and the fmic I recieved today from cjperformance Any help would be appreciated and I'll start a build thread in the next few days when ive recieved a few more parts.

Amjad Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 You'll also need a rising rate fuel pressure regulator RRFPR if you aren't getting a new ECU, and a braided oil feed for the turbo is recommended Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 As said when running a FCD you will need an adjustable FPR and a rolling road tune as the ECU will be tricked into running lean by the FCD. Very crude way of tuning and wont last long garunteed.Save and get a plug and play ECU or piggy back like the emanage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbochris Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Ok cheers guys I'll get saving, looking for about 180bhp really so my long term plan was to get one anyway. Next week it will be having the new fmic fitted, a full service with belts, plugs ect and just a good check all round really. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
