im just curious as to what type of power gain im looking at from the parts listed below. im going in for a tune/reflash once all my parts arrive (ordered them last nite). im going to be running 93 octane gasoline.


hks racing suction intake
maxford tubular manifold
helix 02 housing
helix down pipe
helix cat delete pipe
hks carbon-ti cat-back


i also picked up these parts not related to the exhuast.


brembo slotted rotors
project mu street brake pads
ralli art black shift knob
gruppe-s 60MM gauge pod
defi bf series boost,egt,oil pressure gauges w/ d-link.




all replies are appreciated!

 

I'm jealous, i can tell you that much.

I would have skipped the intake for now and gone with boost controller, or something. Overall though, i would say you will be happy.

 

No, it's not a very good start. You spent a buttload of money in the wrong places and won't see the gains you'd normally want to see for that amount of money spent. You also are missing some critical parts.

I wish you would have asked this question BEFORE ordering the expensive parts, but if it's too late, then oh well. You need to add these before your flash:

- Forge UNOS MBC (or MBC of your choice)
- Forge RS DV (or DV of your choice)
- Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump

After all that, then get flashed for 21-22psi on 93/94oct.

You coulda had Warrtalon Stage 1 for $1575 shipped and had 300whp/300wtq!

 

haha, you sell stage packages now?

Yes, definitely a boost controller over a crappy intake..
Intake won't get you too much gain, even with the tune, you won't see that much gain. Just put a drop-in filter in place of stock air filter. You already have a TBE so I would spend the money you have on tune other than some of the other stuffs you have listed.

Warr: all my parts are installed and my little 9 is beasty

 

Nah, I'm not selling anything, but I do have my name associated with some packages like you see at DcEvo.

Without a tune, the 9s tend not to be too beastly, because the stock ECU tones everything down. After the tune, it will be a real monster.

 

yes, I can't wait til tune

 

as for the dv/bov, i have a go fast bits stealth fx dual
boost controller, greddy profec spec-b
and i do not have a fuel pump but i was a bit concerned that mite come into play. i know i spent alot of money on parts wich alot of people look down on since its primarily all about function but i have been talking about getting the hks carbon ti and defi bf's for over a year and i finally had a chance to get them so i scooped them up. sorry i left out having a bov and boost controller. i forgot i should have mentioned them as current pieces i own. any recomendations on a site to order a fuel pump through? thank you for the information!

 

Oh, ok, no problem them. Those are definitely 2 very expensive and unnecessary parts to have for an MBC/BOV, but at least you have them and at least they work.

You can get the Walbro from ANYONE. Call Buschur Racing - they usually have all that stuff in stock ready to ship. I know you got some stuff that you've been wanting for a long time, but is the exorbitant cost really worth it when you get no extra gains from it? You wouldn't be more happy spending that extra cash on a set of cams for another 30whp/30wtq through the entire powerband? Just curious.

Regardless, with a fuel pump and all those mods, your car should be setup very nicely.
