What Mods? Help / Advice

[S13Deviat]

Heya Dudes

Am going to have a few thousand $$$$ to throw at the Ceffie come Feburary and after hunting around for best prices / parts, I am starting to confuse myself which is the better mod & is it a good price

This is what I want / need done -

1. Coilpacks - mine are FCUKED

2. FMIC, 600x300x75 core & custom piping

3. Coilovers

4. Oil Cooler & Catch Can

5. Strut Braces

6. Bov

7. Turbo Timer

Got some other little things like guages etc to come but yeah was wondering what parts / mods u guys would be doin with $5K. Be mindful thou it is being built for Drift purposes Not a show pony

My thoughts are the first 5 items are a neccesity but hey open to suggestions.

Cheers fellas,

Ando

i have now done coilovers 8k front and 6k rear, front and rear adjustable swaybars and front and rear strut braces......massive difference compared to stock setup. Probably a little stiff for normal cruising .....might take the strut braces out so the car chasis does some of the damping! ..ahha......its not too bad and im getting used to it now. I can now definately chuck it around corners likes its on rails but at the moment its has little too much over steer so i can also get the back out quite easily.

But yea back to urs

do coilovers and swaybars and strut braces

Not sure if the catch can is really necessary

do the fmic

coilpacks

but yea the first 5 seem good

i wouldnt worry about the turbo timer though ........just leav the car running longer ......

oh yea mustnt for get the s2 tailights ......gotta have those so ur car looks cool drifting around the track ! :lol: seriously they do look really good !

whats been done to ur car so far?

I would say coilpacks first cuz if you cant drive the car its not much fun having good suspension is it ?

Resin what swaybars and strutbraces have you got ?

[S13Deviat]

Thanks for the info dudes....

Resin - Mate coilovers & coilpacks are a given.....I will be buying all these bits at 1 time. I was thinking pretty much get the FMIC, Oil Cooler, Coilpacks and Coilovers installed in one hit. Suppose with the turbo timer but i am a little lazy a CBF waiting around

All i got on mine atm is a air filter.....exhaust & roll cage / stripped interior....pretty stocko but hey its all about the progress

As Konect said, what swaybars & braces u running....Whiteline??

Cheers

i have s13 front and rear adjustable whiteline swaybars.

and a a31 front juran strut brace and an r32 rear brace

Coilovers are jic majic flt-a2 - for an s13...fully adjustable with camber tops on front......i got the manual that came with them and it says the a31 should have 10k front and 8k rear .........but f**k that would be hard! ...!

Agree with top 1,3,4,5 .. no need for bov. Stocker is fine. Just sit with ur car for a few mins after a hammering instead of turbo timer.

If it's heading for dori suspension is ur main concern. You will need rear camber arms. Coilovers should come with front camber adjustment. Castor arms are a very good idea too. Alloy Cradle bushes a must for the price. Also get it up on a hoist too check the condition of all the bushes and replace (in pairs) any that are rooted.

I would suggest a mechanical diff is more important than a front mount tho. At least a re-shim on the standard diff if you are bored with power and really want one a front mount.

Also "turbotech" boost controller and aftermarket metal cat if ur looking for cheap power upgrades. (if you don't have them already)

I would do in this...

Coilpacks, as you need them anyway.

Coil air induction to your air filter this alone you will notice.

Fuel Pressure regulator, and fuel pump.

Boost, bleed valve or whatever.

Obviously all your suspension stuff, personally tho, I wouldnt go too low, if you dont do that then you dont need rear camber. Keeping it higher means the suspension can still work the way it was intended, meaning you should have more control. With rear cradel bushes, stiff as suspension and sway bars roll shouldnt be an issue, just keep it up.

Diff, 2way or 1.5 way.

Oil cooler for sure, only go the catch can as well if you get one that works, ie, has baffels, is plumbed back etc.

FMIC, if you got the money yeah do it, if not just get an R34 side mount, and get ducting made up for it. Its also less of a chance it will get damanged.

Id also do a brake fluid chang to something decent, and get better pads and rotors.

BOV, DO NOT DO IT. But get a screw or something and plug the little bleeder hole in the stock one.

RB25 R33 or R34 turbo, this will help obviously, also with cooling.

And Id say get a chip on there too, the Dr Drift ones are bloody good value, so Id look in to that.

If you buy smart, you should have a good $1k left for some tyres

My thoughts anyway.

ceffies dont come with a stock bov ......

[D-limo]

Either do laurels.. Was wondering where mine had got to lol

[S13Deviat]

Tar heaps for all the advice as it is greatly appreciated!

Resin - Thanks for the heads up on the swaybars and strut braces

Daveo - Appreciate the run down

Drift Limo - Thanks also with ur input. Yeah mate no stock bov....nothing at all on the Ceffie. She looses too much boost in bewteen gear changes as the pressure isnt getting released and heading straight back onto the turbo.... so i'm thinking just a stock one welded onto custom piping.

Hmmmm let the spending begin!!

Cheers,

Ando

[dangerous_daveo]

Well, with the bov thing... I did forget about that

But couldnt you just get an R32 crossover pipe?

[Mr Eps]

dont crash! that's my advice

I have the elbow piece with a bov on it already if ur gonna be keeping the stock cooler

[S13Deviat]

Cheers Konect! Will keep the offer in mind but i think the FMIC will be going on, thus providing piping for a BOV.

Daveo - I don't plan to crash! But that doesnt mean some other mofo aint gonna hit me!

does this fit under the a31 strut brace by any chance? .....i think i have heard that it doesnt .....

[CEF33Y]

Mate i wouldn't worry bout a bov, i tried a stock r32 bov and crossover pipe, but i think it was leaking, so i went back to stock.

Just flat change you'll loose no boost if you dont shut the throttle

I also run a flipped round s14 strut brace, which will clear a bov if you do use one

[konect]

i have s13 front and rear adjustable whiteline swaybars.

and a a31 front juran strut brace and an r32 rear brace
