I have had the car since April 05 it is obviously my project....until I can afford to get a Lotus Exige or Evo 10

 

That's more like Stage 18. All those parts, yet no MBC or BOV to run the required higher boost to take advantage of all those mods? You'd probably at least want those two things and an LICP before upgrading your TB and head internals. Otherwise, it looks like a lot of fun. :grin:

Point of caution, I don't know how long you've been running the Ralliart wires, but those generally aren't recommended. I'm also not sure about those plugs. Any reason you chose those instead of standard NGK (copper or iridium, but not platinum, ick).

 

I'm with Warrtalon,

He might have his PCM preset to a certain boost level with his Flash.

But you really should have a Boost controller and at a minimim a JDM or EVO 9 BOV

 

Sorry, forgot about my MR bypass valve. WT I went with the ralliart wires and have loved them, they are much lower resistance than the oem and work fantastic with the DLI2. As far as plugs I did a lOT of research to come up with my choice. The Denso IW01-24' seem to be great so far. These have a pure platinum ground and a .4mm iridum electrode. They have many, many patents to protect the design (NGK is the only other close plug #R7376-7,8etc they are also a bit cheaper) Denso uses a smaller electrode do to superior iridium they claim. Time will tell. We have only 91 here in Ca so running boost more than 20-21 is not wise for longevity in my mind thus the jdm bv.

 

Sounds good. I have no experience with the DLI2, so that combination with the Ralliart wires might be superior.

With all that stuff, I would assume that you'd do more than run on 91oct, especially on the road course. When I go, I toss in 100oct and rock out, but I don't tune to the edge.

 

There is a station in town that I get 76 100 unleaded. Sometimes I mix to give me 93-94. Immie seems to like it!

 

I would do the same if I had access to 100. Hell, I'd possibly run 100oct all the time, but even a mix of 100/93 allows me to run 24psi without knock.

 

Where do you get this information from? I am under the impression that these are really the only choice we have. Magnacore and Nology have fitment isssues that many people have reported on the forums here. I am about to purchase a set of these due to reading about thier superior fit and low resistance.

Nice job on your mods! I also run my car on a mix of Gt100 mixed with 93 octane the car loves it.

I just orderd the Enkei RPF1 18x8.5 in white +30 and plan on running 255/35-18's what size are your tires? Any issues?

 

They are fine and fit just like the oem. See my previous thread about resistance of them....

I almost forgot to mention the stock downpipe is 2-3/8 od. not 2.5, just measured last night when installing the BR 2.5.

 

No access to fuel any better than 92 for me. Alky is my best fix for that.

nice mod list by the way!

 

Thank you, now I will spend 06 paying for it all.

 

 

War,

What prompted the switch from the MR blow-off valve? Yeah I occasionally run the 76 100 oct or mix it, but at almost $6.00 I'm going to go for a Buschur Alky kit instead

 

A couple of reasons:

1) My first sponsor (local shop) is releasing some Warrtalon staged packages, and we have decided to use Forge products in them. I have heard nothing but great things about both the Forge UNOS MBC and Forge RS BOV. Even though it's more costly than the JDM MR DV, it is a superior unit that holds boost wonderfully and that is adjustable. Since it's fully-recirculating and is not very expensive, it was a natural fit for the Warrtalon packages.

2) Forge has agreed to sponsor me, so it is only natural that I use their products. I will only use them, though, if they perform as advertised. So far, the BOV has met expectations - you can see my initial review in the Engine/Tuning forum.

3) When Al custom street tuned me last weekend, he took a look at my boost profile and mentioned how I could probably hold a little bit more boost on the top end with a little bit stronger BOV...and he happened to specify the Forge RS as his suggestion, which was funny, because my sponsor (TheSpeedFactor) had already procured one for me to test, so it was a welcome coincidence. My boost actually held very well - spike to 22psi in 3rd and no lower than 19psi by 7500rpm - so the Hallman Pro MBC and JDM MR DV are by no means slouches, but I'm looking for every little bit I can get, especially if I can get extra with parts in the same price range.
