StuDoc 72 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Right boys been thinking for a bit and i know im faithful to the stock but i just want more power im no talkin much maybe going to 160 or 180. Whats the script for this? Jam ECU, adjustable actuator, exhaust and air filter? Whats the best way for me to reach this without going over board? Id like to keep it simple. Shaun your prob the man to answer this for me im assuming? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 hmm lots of options from stock depends if your wanting to keep the tmic or go down fmic. u could bang on a air filter get a plug and play ecu and it would make nice little change. personaly before u get a adjustable actuator ull want to get rid of the stock manifold before the restrictions in it are pretty mental ( jam do a manifold that looks just like the stock manifold but with no restrictions but its pretty rare to find)everyone has there own option on what the best way is but for me i would get plug and play ecu aftermarket manifold and decat and route the air filter to the front bumper ( re-locating the filter u would need to get rid of a/c so depends if u want to keep that or not.) after all this ull probaly suffer some boost spike so would most likely have to port the wastegate then its just a case of deciding if u want to run a fmic or stay with the tmic u can always upgrade to an rx7 or arc top mount which are ment to be fairly effective.once the stock manifolds out the way and u have some form of management ( plug and play ecu or fcd) u can get an adjustable actuator and wide the boost up and it should be pretty safe and make one hell of a difference. its a slippy slope tho lol my original goal was 200ish bhp now am aiming more down the 300-350 mark lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Firstly i would want to stay TMIC and keep the A/C. I have Nur Spec R exhaust and HKS mushroom filter just now. The filter though is not fitted. Ive been thinking of an ARC for a while now as ive seen a few for sale recently. Plug and play ecu i assume is 1 that is self learning and doesnt need mapped? What causes boost spike and what actually is it? So you reckon a shopping list of (ECU, manifold, de-cat, actuator?) What ecu would you recommend is best cost wise and stuff JAM? Would it all fall flat on its face if the cat was left on? Or would the cat just melt? I know where your coming from mate but dont think im gna go too far with it i just want a bit more oomf ma pals skyline is pissin all over me lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 yea the arcs are ment to be a nice improvement over stock. the plug and play ecus are pretty poorly described as self learning they are bascily set with no fuel cut /raised rev limit and would have had certain mods such as air filter,exhaust,higher boost level took in to account when it was maped then when u plug them in they can trim the fuel slightly to your set up.for safety u prob would want to get it on the rolling road and check fueling but i never did for a few months and mine was fine i used a blitz access it was great dont think theres much difference between the diffrent plug and plays so i would probaly just go with what ever came up first at a fair price.cant think of a good way to describe boost spike lol. but its because your getting more air coming in to the engine it leaves quiker and when u reach your desired boost level the wastegate on the turbo opens to vent the excess exhaust gasses allowing u to maintain a steady boost of say 0.8bar. however because there is a larger volume of exhaust gasses trying to escape the wastegate is to small to release the extra causing the boost to "spike" to say 0.85bar its pretty easily solved u can get a dremel with a grinding wheel on it and just enlarge the wastegate hole slightly larger to account for the extra volume of gasses. its more common to get on a cold morning/ night as the air is alot more denser. dunno if that all makes sense lolid personaly get a decat it will free up nice bit of power and most the plug and plays overfuel slightly so would destroy your cat overtime anyway. so might aswell swap it out for a decat and keep the cat for mot time.ecu,decat,manifold ,actuator then probaly a boost gauge so u can keep an eye on it and an arc tmic if u see one going at a good price not totaly sure would u would pull from that but if u wind up the boost to say a bar think u would get 180+ easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Aye i get u now with the boost spike canny release the extra pressure. wud u jus port the wasteget yourself with a dremmel or get it done professionally? Nice 1 shaun your some man. Thers an SPS manifold and ZEP de cat on TGTT for 155 i dont have the doe to get this started just now but shud be in the next couple months just doing my homework just now. With all that though the standard set up will handle this ok? Dont needa mess with fuelling or injectors do i? I wanna hold back mate and prob no go any further than 180 so that will be cool.

_shaun_ Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 would just port it urself nice and simple, the stock engine will be more than capable, might be worth banging a uprated fuel pump in for bit of safety. but other than that wont have to touch the fueling.only thing to stay clear of is the autobahn or toyosport manifolds/decats and make sure u use proper toyota gaskets aswell farrrr to many people buying cheap gaskets off ebay and they last bout a week if your lucky.

StuDoc 72 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Right well ill have a go at it. Will be in a month or 2 anyway need to wait on money coming through that my work owes me so thats what will be paying for it. I've no got a clue about any of this stuff I can fit it all i just dont know what I need to do it lol. Ill give you a shout nearer the time when im going to start buying the parts. Whats wrong with those manifolds do they crack too easily? I prob would have bought toyota gaskets anyway but cheers for the heads up. Another thing see with a de-cat its gna make it loud as fk isnt it? Whats the script with those road side emissions tests if you have a de-cat aswell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 yea they crack realy easy. decat will make it slightly louder but shouldnt be that much of a diffrence. never herd of a road side emissions test tho u would most likely fail that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sound ill ask for some advise on my choices nearer the time then mate lol. Kl well paul has an exhaust very similar to an HKS silent so maybe get him to part with that if its quieter than mine. I know they do them i was at college 1 time few years back n had to have it done fk it lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
