Now where to go.

[Matthew1975]

I have have done cold air intake. downpipe, exhaust, cobb stage three, intercooler, and sub frame connectors. Besides new rims and tires, or turbo upgrade, and anything for looks what else is their to do for more speed/hp
? Thanks.

Custom e-tune.

Get an etune. Makes a nice difference over the OTS. I also did an E30 etune, big difference! I got mine from Adam@MAPerformance.

 

[Matthew1975]

Thanks I will look into that.

 

[Matthew1975]

were can I buy the Adam@maperformance, just a forum on google.com???

You can pm here, maperformance

Charge pipes
Silicone induction hose
Inlet elbow
Throttle body and intake manifold spacers
Turbosmart BOV and IWG
All these will help maximize airflow, and the BOV/IWG will aid in turbo/boost efficiency so you can get the most out of a custom tune. They are also relatively cheap and easy to install.

If you wanna get fancy without swapping turbos, you can also go with a new turbo manifold and more aggressive cams. Though, now your getting into "turbo-swap" level of labor and money.

Also, don't underestimate the benefits of reducing rotational mass from swapping out the stock wheels for lightweight options. When you can't increase power, decrease weight!

And money for track days. Use the car for its intended purpose.

Thanks guys for the feed back. I think I will start with the Turbosmart BOV and IWG, then get the tune. I thought I was done I guess their is still a lot to be done. Keep the ideas coming thanks.

To be honest, it's a finite system, so with the parts you have and what I mentioned, there's little left on the table besides turbo and internal engine mods.


Maximize air in: bigger, less restrictive hoses and pipes, intake, spacers

Minimize temperatures: intercooler, radiator, oil cooler, intake

Maximize air out: catless downpipe, high flow exhaust

Maximize turbo efficiency: BOV/IWG, manifold, inlet elbow, turbo core

Decrease rotational mass: lightweight wheels, driveshaft, flywheel

Maximize engine potential: cams, forged pistons/rods, custom ecu mapping, good gas


And remember, power without traction is useless. Good tires and subframe bracing help, so does an lsd.

ETA: What the other members posted doesn't increase power, however it increases driveability which translates to quicker times, which is the end goal anyway, right? Transmission plate, aluminum bushings and brakes definitely won't hurt.

You can also throw in "insurance" mods like an oil catch can and crankcase breather to give you peace of mind.

Basically, just buy everything.

How hard is it to install BOV/IWG?

mercdank thanks so much

 

[mercdank]

No problem bro this is how the community grows, participation.

 

[Matthew1975]

How much is it for the unlimited tunes?

 

[mercdank]

PM the MAPerformance guy on here for that. There's a thread in the other sub forum too. They are the best tuners in town.
