Homer Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Loads,i`ll list a few; Hybrid turbos Cams Water injection Ecu or maybe piggyback Brakes Suspension Hyrbids - waste of money Cams - tiny gain might be possible, but will need a new ECU Water injection - good from a safety point of view but won't give any real power unless it's mapped in ECU - worthwhile, but little gain for high cost Brakes - very worthwhile Suspension & geo - very worthwhile Once you're at BPU going to the next level will mean either going the single route (VERY expensive), or making expensive upgrades for very little gain You'd be best off making the rest of the car perform well, all that power is pointless without the brakes and handling sorted out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 You could do well to invest in a piggyback system like the Emanage blue or Ultimate and extract more potential from your existing setup from a decent mapper. If you had money to spend you and are looking to extract every last ounce from the stock turbo based setup you could go with: Duct the front mount intercooler Trac butterfly delete (not sure if this is recommended on autos though) EManage Ultimate HKS DLI 256/264 Cams Water injection You may need bigger injectors from a UK spec (with resistor pack) if you start making decent power at 1.2bar...no big deal if you have an Emanage. I would recommend making sure the suspension is good to the point where you can actually get power down to the road and be confident in the the car behaves on the limit. Depending on what you like (in terms of handling) a decent set of tyres and alignment check/adjust may get you all the roadholding you want.

Ian C Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 A set of cams and an E-Manage Blue would sharpen it up above 5krpm, and the outlay isn't so much especially as 2nd hand EMBs are available. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 very true guys i have uk brakes and green stuff pads looks like the suspension is next Green stuff pads are probably the worse things you could use, they are utterly useless on a car of this spec.. they might be okay for a Saxo, but not on a performance car! Get some decent pads in there ASAP and you will notice a remarkable difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka-P Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Get yourself some CW pads and DOT 5.1, should sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradriver Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 what pads are best?? i was told they are good the green stuff???? i know some one whos got them on a FTO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 what pads are best?? i was told they are good the green stuff???? i know some one whos got them on a FTO Try a search on brake pads you will find a variety of good quality pads that will improve brake performance beyond that achieved with standard pads. Don't just take someones word as good advice. There are, unfortunately, too many people who talk utter crap, but sound convincing. If you sift through the rubbish you will find good advice on this BBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 The porterfield pads Paul Whiffin sell are very good (Although very dusty) Alot of people rate the fast road pads that Chris Wilson supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireRZ-S Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 brakes and suspension definintely when you have more power nothing better than making the car a bit safer to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Just bought a set of CW fast road pads. Havn't fitted them yet but been told by most they are brilliant. I'll let you know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
