i need help deciding my next set of mods. I have sso2 housing, tbe, mbc, fuel pump, licp, apexi intake, ss clutch line, act clutch and flywheel and a tune. I know for sure im getting a set of cams either hks 272 or gsc s1. But not quite sure on what else to do with the cams. I was thinking port stock manifold, new motor mounts, shifter bushings, ebay fmic, bov. Let me know what you think and what i should start looking into so i can do some research thanks.

 

The mods you listed should be good next steps except for the Ebay FMIC.

As far as getting you started with your research, just use the search button. This question has been answered countless times.

 

IMHO:

1) GSC S1 cams = 25whp
2) Exchange VIII turbo for FP Evo Green = 40whp
3) Stock ported/coated exhaust manifold = 8-10whp

Good luck!

 

yeah but

1) cams = 350$ used and wider powerband
2) fp green = 1k
3) stock ported/coated manifold = 150$ and less heat

so i could get around 35whp with manifold and cams for 500$ or 40whp with fp green for 1k. So i think im going to go with cams and port/coat manifold. What's wrong with evo fmic i have heard nothing but good things and its 150$ plus my stock fmic is damaged so id pick up some good numbers with better flow from fmic. What are some other options for the intercooler that are resonable on price.

 

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll be starting my so called Stage 1 upgrades with the same basic mods you have. good luck

 

thanks for the reply, but what are some other mods that will help performance that are not too expensive. Will motor mounts and shifter bushings help with my times at the track? Whats wrong with the ebay fmic its only 150$ compared to close to 1,000$ and the performance difference isnt that much greater right?

 

You don't need an FMIC yet. The stocker is actually quite good until you are pushing more air (turbo) or are road racing.

 

yeah but my stock fmic is slightly damaged.

 

No, motor mounts and shifter bushings probably won't help your times unless the stock stuff is currently holding you back. Yes, the performance difference on a good FMIC is significantly greater, and they aren't usually $1000 - more like $700.

 

should i look into injectors with my cams like the 680cc. Im trying to get a good set of mods together before next tune. Any suggestions?

 

No, you don't need injectors.

 

injectors should be good for the stock turbo. As for the ebay fmic.... if you want to put it on your car, go for it... it works. I personally like to get parts that i won't need to replace in the future. This is where having goals help... so you know what parts to get to fit the bill.

 

thanks for the reply what kind of gains could you see with 680cc injectors and meth on stock turbo thanks

 

Uh, we said you don't need injectors, and they don't give gains. The meth makes you need injectors even LESS. With meth, it depends on how much boost you decide to run and how you get tuned, but I'd expect around 30whp/50wtq if you run 26-27psi.

 

ok thanks for the help warr any other mod suggetstions with cams, cam gears, port/coat manifold, and meth
