best upgrade path after the fact
so where do i go now? this is my baby and has a ton of money dropped in it. i got my basic set up like i want now i want everything to run as smoothly as possible.
its a bit rough around edges with driveabilty but everything else is just like i wanted it well maintence, no leaks, new paint, carbon fiber hood, racing seats, lip kit, big wheels, and a almost perfect audio system (shouldve went indash dvd player instead of cd player) but shes not all show i got a little bit under the hood. now i need advice to find my next upgrade path.
heres my current engine set up
i have a d16z6 turbo with 148000
i am running dsm injectors (I Believe 440)
a crome ecu
t3/t4 turbo unknown brand atm without a filter (in the way of clutch line atm)
cast iron manifold
unknown brand wastegate for 6psi with open dump
greddy blow off valve
steel braided oil lines
walbro fuel pump (i think 255lph)
ngk spark plugs 1 range colder gapped at...um i forgot already
front mount intercooler unknown brand as well
and bone stock exhaust
also have a bone stock d15b sitting in the garage just in case and this is my 3rd car. i still havnt driven it too hard, took it to red line once in 4th about a week ago but other then that i try and stay out of boost. my driving range is between 3000-4000rpm daily.
ive been running this for about 3 months and around 1500 miles now i need a upgrade path now that i got a little bit of money.
where should my order of importance be
e.c.u wasnt dyno tuned but has a base tune but i hear dyno tune is the best method thinking of a dyno tune.
my stock clutch is worn and makes a noise when 1st engaging but shifts perfect
so im thinking of new a clutch
the car warms up really quickly (around 3 minutes til needle is about halfway) but doesnt over heat thinking i got a exhaust restriction (bone stock exhaust).
the unknown name parts havent given me any problems yet but i read from a ton of places that they no good thinking of going name brand for those
once car begans to warm up to tempture it idles stranges around 600-1000rpms until fans come on then it idles at 1000rpm without incident. have no clue why at the moment but think i think one of idle sensor is suspect.
those are the only things that im concerned with engine wise, horsepower isnt important right and im not looking for a ton (maybe 170-180ish wheel horse power).
