Currently have the following set up:

Spoon n1 muffler + b pipe
High flow cat
mugen 4-1
Stock Internals
Spoon Throttlebody
Apexi power intake

Is this the limit in terms of power extraction with stock internals? Are cam gears worth it without higer lift cams? My ECU is still stock. Should i change that first b4 ripping her up? Consider that i am under a budget. THanks.

 

Get something to tune with to make the most of the current parts you have before adding more.

A Apexi Vafc helped my car a little.

Ask yourself, do you want to loose reliablity or chance it?

I'm going through the same dillema now i have an AEMcai and am looking for the best possible header cat exhaust suspension setup on a budget as well it takes time.

Seems like your off to a good start though

 

Honestly, i am still trying to push 100% from the current set up. But i reckon that i would need (or rather want) more power sooner or later. So i might as well increase power gradually in stages which i feel is the best way to do. Same with the handling aspect of my car, everything is done in stages. Right now, i am trying to extract the most power from stock internals before i even consider cams or stroker kits. A vafc is tempting, but is a piggy back really neccessary before changing the stock internals?

 

Heh, THanks.

THe car came with most of da goods.

Only thing i bought were the spoon parts (n1, b pipe, throttlebody)

Good luck in your search.

I think that a stock car can benefit from a piggyback system.

As I have added and removed mods on my car I have been able to maximize the power output of the motor via. the vafc.

 

Hmmm

I think i would borrow a vafc before dyno session next week. And see if i can milk more power out of the car.

What is a good intake system? Anyone here heard of BMC? They make this carbon air intake box thing, i am pretty indecisive when it comes to intakes.

THanks!
