Homer Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I'm looking for some help on my next performance 'upgrade' as I can't seem to decide what to buy next. As with many new supra owners I've done the relatively cheap performance mods, but I'm a bit unclear where to go now with the upgrades... I have just less than a grand to spend but all of the following seem sensible options... Please let me know your thoughts on where the money is best spent!! 1) Greddy e-01 boost controller, install and dyno tune 2) Big injectors (750cc?), Greddy e-manage plus install and setup 3) RTLC (I love drifting and sliding the car everywhere possible, and especially enjoy it when it rains... I have a feeling RTLC would be turned off most of the time, guess I'm a bit of a ) 4) FMIC (Greddy 3 row)# 5) Any other suggestions?? A small/medium single turbo is on the cards next year so am planning the next upgrade with that in mind.... Any opinions welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude:flame Dev Yeah mate, I know I'm going to need them all before the single , but I'm looking to know whats best in terms of the next modification. Some peeps seem to think a boost controller is essential, others injectors, others an FMIC, etc... just looking for opinions of the best bang for bucks mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 For me it would have to be the boost controller - unless it is running silly boost already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, no silly boost levels so far I have a CW restrictor ring and never seen more than 1.15 bar (most of the time, even with hard motorway driving it barely reaches 1 bar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 FMIC (greddy 3row would be perfect) RLTC e-Manage Injectors and fuel pumps etc All in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon F Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Some decent brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 Originally posted by Gordon F Some decent brakes A good point and something that was my 1st concern after driving this car hard. After some sound advice from Chris Wilson (among others here) I'm going to stick with the jap setup New j-spec discs, CW fast road pads, 5.1 fluid and braided lines waiting to go in (okay they're currently in the dining room but they'll go in soon ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 Okay, So FMIC seems to be prerequisite... How about a new Greddy 3-row - dimension: 600 * 276 * 76 with all the pipework for a mkiv it seems quite good value at £500 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 IMHO id go for the brakes...... Whats good about upgrading the BHP if you cant stop the f*cker afterwards!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a two row this one m8 - and you stock one will see you OK for now for the levels you will be running RLTC has always been top for me Boost controller (get the greddy if going emanage in future?)

dude Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 IMO you need an IC that measures 600x300x100 and i prefer to keep them as a 2 row not a 3 . Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
