So I narrowed down the parts I want to get over the winter and I just want to ask the forum members their opinions. If you think I'm missing some thing or you think it might be too much for the stock engine please voice your opinion. I'm not going to get mad every bit of input will make my decision easier.

So current mods are in my signature.

Mods i'm contemplating

EF3 - Comp ported Turbine ported thermal coating, not sure about the inlet I have the stock one, should I get the 3in and if so which one anti/surge or regular?

ID 1000s with plug and play adapter

Map manifold - Does it make that big of a difference or can I get away with just using the stock one?

DW65 fuel pump

3port grimspeed

Sparkplugs - Do I need aftermarket ones or are the stock ones the car came with fine?

Tune - Probably will take car down to AMS or one of the popular etuners we have. If the car makes 450 whp and 370 wtq 93 Oct I will be ecstatic, will definatly keep the tq under 380 since being on stock internals.

So what do you guys think have I narrowed it down is there something I'm missing or I can go without?


PS Clutch and CMC will come next year not planning on racing the car just want more power so hoping to get away on stock clutch for now.

 

92 views and no input... Really guys lol

 

How about injectors for that pump?

 

What are your current mods? I don't see a signature

 

I see injectors hiding in the middle....

 

I don't think you get to 450 without running e-85.

 

I'm sorry I didn't update Sig on this forum. Current mods are
Ets v2 exhaust
Ets recirc downpipe
Ets high flow cat
Ets uicp
Ets licp
Ets 3.5 in intercooler
Ams Intake
Cobb app

 

That's a good mod list I may be a bit biased though!

Michael

 

Haha thanks Michael maybe soon Ill be able to add Ets exhaust manifold to the list

 

stock turbo will never have a 450whp output sorry to burst your bubble try using a ef2.5 on e85 or ef3 of 93 to get 450

 

But I am using an ef3 turbo reread my first post

 

Skip that and just go with the full ETS kit! You won't regret it...

 

+1 for the small amount extra it will run you ditch the stock frame set ups and go for something designed for power.

I've never understood why everyone wants to push stock frame set ups to their max and see how much power you can squeak out of them.

Go for a bigger turbo frame, get a proper tubular mani, tune it within the efficiency range and keep your EGT's down.

 

Torque before 3500rpm...... (without a stroker)

 

Big turbo will also pull torque - without the EGT issues as well. The Black is just wheezing, same as an EF4 at that power level.

Different strokes for different folks - not condemning the build or saying it's wrong either. The car makes good power and kudos to all involved. I would personally rather spool a bit later and run it to 9,000rpm every day...
