jaspz Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Lo everyone was wondering what the best upgrade turbo there is...as in value for money. Trying to get to 400bhp, I've got or will have the following changes FMIC 800cc Sard Injectors Emanage Ultimate Apexi Induction with hard pipe Wizards of Nos Kit (100bhp) with Progressive controller + 11lb bottole in the boot Dunno about the manifold and exhaust til the car turns up will make changes if nessesary Seen about the TD05 is ment to be a good upgrade is this the case? thnx in advance Steve
rae_sti Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 ask in the tech section mate . although jd might have a idea, most in here have no idea where the engine is :)
jd Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 As if by magic....................... dont bother with Nos (bottles are for babies). FMIC - definately. 800cc Sard Injectors - 650cc will be enough. Emanage Ultimate - fit a SimTek ecu. Apexi Induction with hard pipe - if use a hybrid fmic will be complete with cold air induction kit. Wizards of Nos Kit (100bhp) with Progressive controller + 11lb bottole in the boot - NO Dunno about the manifold and exhaust til the car turns up will make changes if nessesary - decent set of headers i.e. GT Spec or RCM, 3" full decat exhaust (or spoirts cat) a TD05/20G will not get to 400bhp without using fuel additives. You will require a bigger turbo to break the 400bhp barrier, but you need to think of the internals of the engine, what model & year are you getting as that will make a difference to safe horsepower levels without a rebuild. Realistically for 400bhp you will need a GT30 hybrid from www.enginetuner.co.uk , I hope you are very friendly with your bank manager. To discuss options I would suggest a phone call or visit to see Martyn once you have the car.

Lo matey thnx for getting back to me loads of useful info there, I've got a 94 Tommy kiara M20b coming end of feb, obviously unknown factor if the internals have bin upgraded or not...what do you recommend for the internals then, cos if I knock off the NOS then I can probably save me self just over 500 notes lol so what could I put that to, to increase performance cheers Steve
jd Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 get the Simtek ecu, will be usefull for any future upgrades. check the paperwork when it arrives, i think the tommy Kaira were based on wrx's
jaspz Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 get the Simtek ecu, will be usefull for any future upgrades.check the paperwork when it arrives, i think the tommy Kaira were based on wrx's The full description was Tommy Kaira M20b WRX STI RA GC8 EJ20 unless importers got it wrong, dunno if that makes any difference
jd Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 so based on an RA i assume, internals should be ok for 400bhp.
jaspz Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Thnx for answering me questions do you use MSN?, if so add me (jaspers_den@hotmail.com) also that applies to anyone who wants to add me cheers
leplumbiere37 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) WERE THE TOMMY KAIRO'S NOT A 2.2 LITRE TUNED ENGINE ??? ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT ON THEM WERE DIFFERENT FROM STANDARD IMPREZAS INC THE ENGINE AS A RESULT OF HAVING HIS NAME ON THEM TAKEN FROM WIKAPEDIA ''Due to the great dimension of mechanical and visual improvements worked out on the cars, Tommy Kaira has consistently rebranded the cars as if they were completely manufactured by the company itself, with the consent of the parent manufacturers: for example, a Subaru Impreza is rebranded as Tommy Kaira M20b'' Edited February 1, 2008 by leplumbiere37

I won't argue that there may have ben 2.2 litre versions , but I haven't seen any....

leplumbiere37 Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) I DID READ THAT THE LATER TOMMY KAIRO MODELS WERE THE 2.2 LITRE (M22B) 350 BHP THE EARLY CLASSICS WERE 2 LITRE (M20B) 265 BHP Edited February 2, 2008 by leplumbiere37
jaspz Posted February 2, 2008 Author Posted February 2, 2008 I think the enhancements were more visual and weight reduction on the earlier models and on the later ones incorporated a stroker kit for the increase in power
