jazz1 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Ok guys iv finally convinced my dad to let me go single after he saw his mates 600bhp skyline lol, anyway but for now i just want to get my car on the road and the kit put on but it would look stupid if i didnt have an back box or a FMIC so any suggestions for now which back box i should put on and what FMIC i should go for as i will change these after once i go single?

Homer Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Jazz, without wishing to sound disrespectful, have you ever owned (and clocked 10k+ miles) on a 400hp RWD car before? You're a young chap so can't imagine you've been through too many winters with high powered cars. If you're new to very high power RWD cars then I really don't think it's wise to think about fitting a single turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 yeah i would agree with Homer, you really need to get used to these cars and learn to control your right foot. I know how you feel though mate but i would say have it BPU or so for 6 months or so then go single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 lol guys im not doing the single turbo now im talking about that next year or so but for now i just want a reasonable FMIC and a back box so the car can look good:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 oh fair enough get the Greddy 2 row and HKS racing ti/ BL 4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Regarding the exhaust, if you're going for a single later on in your driving career (hopefuly!), you should look for large size straight pipes. The HKS and Greddy Ti are superb quality and light, also the Tannabe but this is heavier. Not sure about the NUR, its 3inch so may be a little small for the bigger power singles, it is SS (a good thing) but ground clearance is poor. RSR's, Superdraggers and the rest of the mild steel pipes should be avoided. For me there's no contest - the boostlogic 4in is (IMO) superb. The best exhaust note, very straight (can be mated to boostlogic mid & down pipe) and is lightweight For the IC, i'd go with Greddy or HKS, 2 or 3 row. They are all excellent quality design and will come with the correct hardpipes. The XS power and other cheap 'Chinese' makes I've seen have been poor quality with tiny end tanks, can't be good for flow. Best avoided if you are serious about going for real power.

jazz1 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 cheers guys so if i just for now put on a boostlogic 4in back box no decat that would still sound great? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 not sure what the BL would sound like with no decat, at least you can use it when you go single, will probably still sound great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 cheers guys so if i just for now put on a boostlogic 4in back box no decat that would still sound great? Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 when i go single im going to take them off and i will go for the hks ti but for now i just want the back box and FMIC but thanks guys for the advice i know what intercooler to go for now and il have to choose between the exhausts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 why not get the HKS ti now then? saves you buying an exhaust you won't use when you go single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee GZ Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi Jazz, Got a HKS 5” Drag Racer on mine bud, sounds lovely ..! Also good for hiding in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 lol you got any sound clips mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Jazz, one of the local guys here (board name Scooby) has a HKS Ti. It sounds feckin awesome on a stock turbo'd car with a decat. Though quieter the overall sound is nicer than my RSR - more 'rorty' than just extremely loud burble if you know what i mean? As mentioned before, on a single nothing beats the BL for sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
