What to do next?

[undefined0000]

Got a decent amount of some basic goodies coming in.

Slotted Rotors and performance ceramic pads SOOO EXCITED

In-Cabin Boost controller? Thought I'd give it a try

Breather Filter to look purdy

Wally 255 just because its a standard upgrade got the re-wire kit too

And a biss screw, because mine is well SCREWED

I'll be putting those all on between monday and tuesday.

I also got some magnecor wires and a dejon intake.

What should I invest in next? I should have all of my boost leaks gone in the next few days and I want to start adding horsepower so I can race more than hondas without "leaning-out". Bolt-ons are what I'm wanting because I'm a noob.

I got a k$n little filter dealy I would have sold you for 10 bux.

The breather filter thing?

Breather filter to look purdy thing.

 

[undefined0000]

Lol, damn. Well that one was $9.95

 

[Bud92gsx]

9.94$ shipped..

Boost gauge! Do not put that mbc on untill you have one. Make sure all the maintenance is done also

Lol, too late!. Well, while you're here. Got any suggestions?

Your gonna have to let me know how those rotors and the in cab boost controller turn out. Those are two things I`ve looked at a few times....but just can`t pull the trigger. So a reliable review would be awesome

+2 on rotors...But a hallman non in cabin is 75$, and also dsmlink has built in boost controller.

Got a boost gauge from autozone, I'm gonna invest in a digital one later on cause they look cooler. Thanks for the advice though, it does make a HUGE difference. I did the BLT and the system only held 9psi, so I know now that if I'm hitting more than 9psi, the turbo is over-working. That stock gauge is crappy.

A boost controller without a wideband is a recipe for disaster.

Your intake should also be leak free to 20psi.

 

[Bud92gsx]

No bueno on the digital boost gauge..IT will guess like the stock boost controler does.Your local auto parts store should sell a 30 dollar mechanical boost gauge..

Actually I have a cf autometer 20psi that I can get rid of.

I'm SUPER excited for the rotors because the ones that are on there now are extremely crap. When I'm stopping from getting off the highway the car creates its own earthquake and when I'm stopping in town, I get sent back and forth in my seat from the warpage. I'm putting those on first thing in the morning, I might not even go to sleep tonight .

Make sure you have a hammer.

Well question on the boost controller. Can it exceed the spring-rate of the wastegate? Like can I go over 12 psi with it (I think thats what the spring is in a 16g) or can you boost as much as you want?

I wanna get a wideband, but don't know who can weld it on. I was thinking about maybe a local exhaust shop. They did a great job welding my exhaust and stuff.

and I know I'm hoping when I slap this new TB and injector seals on that it can hold that.

Make sure you have a hammer.

Please tell me why

Update your profile. When you ask things like what's next they look at your profile. I would say go full exhaust system. Watch out for boost creep though. It's notorious for 16gs when you upgrade your entire exhaust

I'd consider otherwise. The pcv system is set up the way it is because it works. Putting that breather on your valve cover WILL cause excessive buildup of crankcase pressure. If you're concerned with oil/blow-by gases in your intake tract, a proper sealed/non-vented catchcan is a good investment. Mishimoto has a nice setup and Calan here on the forums sells an awesome quality CC as well. I'm sure you can find a much cheaper generic one, just make sure it is sealed! You need the vacuum created by the turbo to pull that pressure from the crankcase!

What's it look like? Google images is doing no justice!

I figured it would make no difference because right now it just has a hose coming off of it that goes to nothing.

You can't go lower than wastegate pressure with a boost controller, only higher. The 16g wastegate is 9-10psi just like the stock turbo. An exhaust shop can definitely weld in the bung and for very cheap.

 

[Bud92gsx]

A hammer for the rotors..Cause rust will well rust them on.And alot of banging on the rotor may be in order to get them off.

The filter looks semi like the ebay one, it's just a k&n.

What are your goals with the car?

I just want speed. I've ALWAYS like race cars since I was little, I used to play gran tourismo 1,2,3 and 4 ALL DAY. Now that I have a race-like car, I wanna make it fast.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Because racecar..I just had too.

Hmm, interesting. I still don't fully understand how the boost controller works . I'll Look into wideband #1 then.

btw, I meant the boost gauge.
