man after seeing chibby goku's car i feel like my car is crap. and it is. anyway, should i get the trubo first? and if so whcih would u guys go with? i wanna try somthing different. but if the fmic i was thinking of the turbo x's because i can keep the lights and thebeam support so i can get recon. thanks for the feed back...

 

what do you want to do with your car?


drag race? autox?

 

Why would you like a FMIC? Unless you're putting a big turbo on the car, its not necessary. Yes its nice but its not necessary. Wes and Richard isn't running FMIC's but bigger TMIC's. I've heard FMIC horror stories when someone breaks a leak in the pipes or something comes off out of home.

 

Truth be told I don't even think you need an upgraded TMIC to run the # on the dragstrip. An upgraded TMIC is more of a street/auto-x/track day kind of thing. It may help stave off a bit of detonation, but you could always throw some 100 octane in the tank at the track to do that...

I'm with Wes - what do you want out of your car?

Well since you asked, here's my $.02........

Learn to drive the car well, Suspension, Wheels & Tires, Brakes, up and down-pipes, good cat back....then ECU, fuel pump, injectors, turbo and whatever IC you want.

In my mind that's a good "road map" to setting up a good car. have fun.

 

If I had a chance to do my mods all over again, I would have saved my money and wait until STEALTH-WRX has completed his car. I would love to replicate what he has done, but I'm near completion of my current engine set-up.

I have the Xede and Xmap and my block should arrive in two weeks.

Vishnu is taking orders for their stage 3.

Ultimate Racing has a proven 11sec. car. Not many people seem to like them, but their set-up costs less then what I have spent so far and I still believe that I am far from having an 11sec. car unless I use nos.

 

Dude, your car is bad a$$.

And I didn't know that you are a close friend of Leo (June June). If you ever need help, let me know.

 

thanks guys. i want whats best for both worlds. go on the strip and performance at autox. right now the car doesn't feell right to me. maybe it just me. i still gotta fix the alignment prob i have, i already got whiteline steering rack bushings but the alingment is still of on the steering. after test driving and sti<which i shouldn't have done> my car feels slow and not as strong as its use to be when i first got it. thats why i really wanna upgrade or at least fix the things that really get to me when i drive. thats why my car is crap to me right now.


whoa u know leo? cools man. sorry about that day. i was getting yelled at. hehehe. but its all cool. your car is sick dude. maybe one day u can take a look at my rex one day and tell me whats going on.

 

what are your current mods?

 

umm... blitz sus air cleaner, B.O.V., ner spec exshaute, pde up and down pipe, i got a mrt boost cut defencer that isn't installed and a turbo xs mbc i haven't installed yet ether. thats about it for the engine. sucks i know...

 

put in the mbc. but make sure you have a boost gauge. I got one for sale if your intrested if you dont have one.

you'll notice a difference

 

thats just the thing. i got a boost guage but i dunno if its broken or not. i also have a blits duel turbo timer. the timer reads 1.09 bar but the boost gauge its reading only 11. so i'm kinda screwed there. i dont wanna blow my motor llike some people i know.

 

No way. You are well on your way to a great setup with that. Don't start comparing your car to guys who have been modding for a year+, and definitely not Chibby's monster-beast. Other than some EM, you are very close to mine, engine-wise. You probably could run it faster, too

Just keep doing one thing at a time, and soon you will have a great car that everyone else will go "DAAAAYUM!" when they hear about it. Of course that just leads to more building.

Good luck, and happy modding.
edit: kawshon1, you have a PM.

 

11psi or 1.1 bar?

what are they tapped off of? Notice anything leaking?

 

wellz the blitz timer i got it hooked up by the fuel pressure regulator and the boost gauge to the b.o.v. hose. imma try and switch it one day to see if its any differance. but i haven't had time latley
