Top small diy mods????

[inch0408]

RIGHT FOLKS I HAVE A LC ONLY 180 BHP ATM DECAT FITTED, SAMCO TIP, 007P, OPEN CONE, N249 BYPASS.
IM LOOKING TOP GO STAGE TWO WITH FMIC ( WHEN I CAN AFFORD ONE) AND 4BAR FPR AND HYDRO METH. I LOVE THE N249 BYPASS AS IT GETS YOU OILY AND IN TOUCH WITH YOUR ENGINE.
SO WHAT OTHER SMALL BUT BENEFICIAL MODS CAN U RECOMMEND WHILST IM SAVING FOR FMIC AND B4 MAPPING?

dogbone mount, allows you to put some of your newly acquired power onto the floor. total cost of £40 if you fit it yourself.

might be worth fitting a catch can and doing pvc removal, as pipes on these are crud and probably will perish later on.

boost gauge?

Yea i really want to fit a catch can but there is soo much conflicting stuff on here, 19mm cans are expensive but is it ok to use 15mm? What exactly is the pcv, and do i vent to air and block the tip? Do i remove the hockey puck? And blocking brake breathers???? Really need help with this one

I have a boost gauge ready to go on, but waiting for an a-pillar pod that fits well and doesnt cost a bomb!

You need to do so reading and decide which set up you want.

Ive read loads on here about catch cans and pcv but no1 seems to know or the convo goes off topic or all the info conflicts so it uber confising to lnow whats best.

Cheap decat
Panel filter
Fmic

And you should see 240bhp! Wouldnt bother with a bigger turbo

Take the spare wheel out you'll be surprised how much it weighs!

 

[jlhiggins]

Dogbone mount x2

You're talking about big turbo but then scrimping on things that are crucial to get right. Save up the extra and get the right thing for the car.

15mm catch cans are ok to use

 

[inch0408]

Really 15mm? What about crank pressure?

There was a thread about this last week, caused some issues due to crankcase pressure they're not ok
