Hey all, just need some advice on wat to do to my car next... been offered a couple of items at really good prices and not sure which one to go with...

been offered a new t04E for $400 and an e-manage ultimate for somewhere around $600.

im on an apprentice wage so cant afford both.

Tis a ser1 r33, car allready has boost controller, 100mm thick front mount, high flow cat and 3.5 back. hks intake and dynos at 187rwkw on 12psi. (ratios are fine).

will be getting front pipe in next couple of weeks and dont know which of the other 2 options to go with next! or mabie should i be looking at somthing else mod wise next?

cheers cheers!

computer is your next point of call. get the emanage or save a little longer and get a power fc or microtech lts12. without a computer to back up your other mods it would be pointless getting a new turbo. also you would need a manifld for the turbo coz of the different flange to the stock 1. means more $$$

IMHO save a little more, get a microtech (epa approved as it is tuner lockable) and set your car up properly first time. once you got your comp, you can stretch the stock injectors to 85% duty cycle, and stock turbo to 10psi everyday driving and you'll c a big difference. or better yet, for like 900 do a trade with slide for your stock turbo and get one of his hi flow turbos after you get the comp.

fmic, 13psi on slide hi flow, hks intake, 3" turbo back zorst, microtech lts12, 85% duty cycle on stock injectors and you should see around 210-220rwKw.

next step, bigger injectors, cams = 230-240rwKw.

its up to you.

yeah thinkin ill go with sumthin along those lines. got free use of a dyno and tuning software so should be pretty affordable. was just thinkinh bout this turbo cause its so cheap! been looking into the emanages a bit and they seem like a pretty good thing for the money they are worth...

yeh turbo is good and cheap, but does it have a t3 flange on it? if it doesnt means you need to make a mod plate or get a new manifold, either way spells money.

and in regards to a tuner, see ray at RE Customs. he doing my safc2 an d tune for 200.im in the same boat as you. im saving for the microtech and turbo but when i got given the safc2 for nothing couldnt resist.

i also am an apprentice, so know what it feels like. get the emanage then and take it from there.
