Hey guys,

I wouldn't mind knowing where all you guys are at in terms of mods and power and where you are headed?

What figures would you be happy with?

Ill get the ball rolling...

I've got:

Exhaust

FMIC

Power fc

Boost contorller

Fuel pump

Air intake pip

Pod...If there is more ill add it later.

After my tune on saturday I should have around 220kw atw i was told by autotach so im happy about that. For the future I want to get injectors and a turbo and maybe do some internal work. The magic figure i am after is 300kw atw so i am aiming for that in the next year or so.

What are your ''happy place'' figures :P

I got my tune this morning and im pretty happy with the out come.

As far as current mods go, it's just a cat-back and a pod for me.

Future plans are only shooting for around 200rwKw. So my plans for future power mods is looking pretty much like your current list R3sp3ct.

As for other stuff, plans for coilovers, sway bars and strut braces. Then, Final Konexion kit, flat oem style carbon bonnet and hopefully a flush carbon bootlid will make my car look hot as... In my opinion anyway :P

My future plans for my car are getting it back :P

After having owned it stock, with twin lowmounts (2530's) making 300+kw, I decided to go all out and punch for the 500-550kw mark on pump fuel.

To let some secrets out, parts included are a JUN stroker motor and the big momma T88H-38GK.

EDIT: Oh and theres also a respray in there too in a secret colour :D

I've got a few little mods in mind, but not many are aimed towards performance as the insurer is quite strict about what can and can't be done.

I'm looking to install Hybrid FMIC, and run a bit more boost.

A set of 18" Lenso Muse rims are pending approval from insurance company, hoping to have them on very soon if approved.

Recently upgraded the stereo in my car with new kevlar front splits, just bought two 12" Type R Aplines and have a Class D 800W amp on it's way, will install these in the next couple of weeks in custom enclosure. replacing the existing 12" sub and underpower amp.

Planning to tint the windows and touch up the scratches on the car. should do me for a while. Very excited about it all!

I'm lacking a good turbo [working on the turbo angle atm] and some suspension mods, looking at 260-280, I'll never get to 300 with this car!

My main mod is to replace my car with a SIII R33, but that'll never happen either - real estate takes all........

My cars future = consistant reliability. Hasn't been that way since I bought her and it's cost me bucks to revive her.

I'm happy with the 300+kw mark, so suspension and brakes, then a respray.

Should check out the Rides sticky. Has a lot of ppls existing set-up.

nice power and a nice safe afr ratio too you could lean that out a little more too if you wanted eg 12:1 and maybe get a smiggen more power but probably not worth it,

Yeah thanks mate, Pete was very happy with how it all went this morning he said it was all in good running order so thats really good. He also said next will need to be, coil pack, injectors and turbo so i will work on that now. :D

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
