Where do I go from here?

Recommended Posts

I have a 98 TT VVTi 6 speed, I have already fitted a HKS Super Dragger CAT back, a HKS straight through (2nd CAT) and a HKS power induction kit.

 

What's the next step?

 

Also as a side issue, my supra dosen't feel that quick even after these mods, I had a MKIII Turbo before this and it only feels marginally quicker than that and that wasn't modded, where can I get it checked out? I'm in London.

 

Thanks in advance.

A good boost gauge would be a sensible investment the stock ones in the facelift cars are allegedly not up to much.

but do be careful with any info they post on there. The j-spec VVTi was never available in the states and I could be wrong here but I believe it runs a MAP and MAF sensor which is different from anything the guys on mkiv.com will have seen.

 

The VVTi engine is harder to tune than the normal twin turbo cars but there are a couple of people here who have worked on them. Chris Wilson did a lot of work on Nick Martins car so he can probably tell you what to look for.

 

With the normal twin turbos its just a question of turning up the boost, the fueling tends to cope, but there was a discussion a while back about the VVTi having fueling problems above 14psi.

 

Chris Wilson is up near Chester. Down this way a lot of us use Leon who is based in Watford.

Get rid of the first cat. I am able to supply the VVTi specific first cat replacement pipe, and it will mate directly to your HKS second pipe, although ideally I like to sell them in pairs. I also recommend water injection, which I can supply and fit for 370 quid. The VVTi front cat pipe is 150 quid with gasket and bolt kit, supply only. I can fit that too if you want. If it's running right it will be LOT quicker than a MKIII turbo, even a MKIII with raised boost.

Seriously...I didn't I was in Mr Freemason's thread posting a quick reply - IE hung on posting, then I found my post here.

 

:shrug:

 

Few blasts from the past there though :)

 

Ahh think I've found the issue...both threads start with a 9...IE/the web server couldn't count any higher briefly.
