What was everyone's first serious batch of mods ???

[craig79]

Have been reading techy posts on here for a good few months now -

trying to take in all the tips I can. Still a wee bit unsure about something.

I've done a few things to my car, engine / handling wise and was wondering what the next

logical step would be?

Whats on : P/drive springs / geometry

H&S De-catted exhaust (high flow d/pipe for MOT's)

Walbro fuel pump

Green panel filter

Andy F. remap.

I'm not saying I must increase the power of the car ASAP - lovin' the car

how it is at the mo but just so I know what to aim for in the future. Have picked up on maybe

a TD04H turbo upgrade and bigger injectors ?? Brakes and drop links

in particular will be changed aswell before anything else.

Sorry for the essay.

Have a read at andy fs website tells you all you need to know and more.First thing to do is the breathing k+n panel or green cotton a cold air feed direct from air vent in the bumper can be as good as an induction kit then exhaust,fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. then you visitthe chap with the magic laptop.

the first batch of mods I did was a cone filter, decat and boost guage, according to a so called subaru tuning company whom I trusted these were the mods to get, or as I later discovered a way of making money out of me and helping my car draw warm air from under the bonnet.

I then went my own way and made up my own mind, deciding to change the ecu and work with what I had, as I added more mods I could have it remapped.

The ecu I  chose was the possum Link ecu, 10 row, cheap, cheerful and proven. It was simple to understand, and i was very happy with it. I had any professional maps I had done saved on my laptop and I could have a go at map myself, always returning to a safe map once I had finished my fiddling.

 

Then I added 4 pots. That was my first batch of mods.

mine was swapping out the exhaust for a 3" one, Decat D/P (full decat), uprated fuel pump, FPR, Andy.F remap, and the AP 4 pots

Cheers lads, had a wee look over Andy's website (again)

If I'm right my car has 380cc injectors at the mo ?

Both these and my std TMIC should be able to cope with low to mid 300 figures ?

I'm not looking for a daft increase in power from the car - just a modest setup. Always

amazes me what can be achieved with relatively easy 'bolt - ons'.

Think one of these hybrid T04 turbos is a must tho - suppose I'd better get saving again[]
