smoothop · 26th August 2008, 12:37 PM

hi right iv done very little to my skline r33 gtst below is a list of mods that have been done

exhast
decat
downpipe
apexi air filter
greddy turbo timer

ok what next ?

lol i was thinking about an ssqv bov but i had issues with a blitz bov so went back to standard valve. iv been told the hks equivalent is musch better and people dont get problems with them.

but can anyone else sujest any other mods that i can do would be cool thanks, im not talking about major stuff like replacing the turbo or big jobs but stuff that can be done under £500

cheers

brake or suspension upgrade or perhaps a boost controller

smoothop · 26th August 2008, 12:50 PM

so richf you dont recon ssqv ?

but does the suspention full under £500 i was thinking this cost alot more

is it wise to get the ecu remaped ? or chipped how much does this cost ?

Go for FMIC and boost controller, much more fun.

**vizibledog** · 26th August 2008, 12:53 PM

SSQV will just give you a noise, it wont affect performance. I'd go for a boost controller

smoothop · 26th August 2008, 12:54 PM

would be great if i can get some cost in this stuff just so i know how much things cost to do also labour cheers

**sarky_fcuk** · 26th August 2008, 01:00 PM

Get a job with a petrol card

Then brakes + suspension as above.

+ I would get some track time in to learn how to drive the car.

**Richf** · 26th August 2008, 01:15 PM

i wouldnt fit a fmic on a stock turbo......lag city

**mule** · 26th August 2008, 07:29 PM

i fitted a fmic to mine not a hard job and only cost £250, but now i got turbo lag,so saveing up now to take it to rising sun performance for a chipped ecu and boost controller.
