What Should I Do?

[Duke]

Hi

I have a 95 series 1 R33 with FMIC HKS superflow pod and apexi neo piggyback SAFC/VAFC (not tuned yet) . I am having an electronic boost controller installed next week. with these mods and running standard boost it seems i am having some overfueling problems, seems to miss a little bit from 4500-5500rpm then takes off. That is what the apexi neo is for just have to have it tuned next week. There are a few questions I would like to ask:

1) Should I put in some splitfires, and do they make a noticable difference? Or do I just get NGK plugs and clean up my coils ( they seem fine)

2) should i get a decat, fuel pump , fuel reg, turbo elbow or downpipe ( dont know what these are for) . I cant get all this stuff at once but in which order should i get all these things.

3) Are there any reccommended dyno tuners in the brisbane area? Sorry I am new to all of this stuff.

4) the car seems to be lagging a bit since i put the FMIC in at standard boost, will this be improved when i install the electronic boost controller, I have been told that you can safely boost at 12 pounds with FMIC?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks alot

this thread may, or may not help you with the missing @ 4-5k rpm

oh, and f*&^ the splitfire idea off. i seriously think they are a waste of money with minimal mods.

There is nothing wrong with the standard coil packs.

with your current mods, your max power will be around 180kw (no exhaust mentioned). splitfires wont be needed.

edit: just get some decent spark plugs, part no: BCPR6ES, then gap them down to .8mm or lower.

2) should i get a decat, fuel pump , fuel reg, turbo elbow or downpipe ( dont know what these are for) . I cant get all this stuff at once but in which order should i get all these things.

i'd definitely look into getting a turbo back exhaust to push your possible power to 200kw. you wont need a decat (illegal in most states and is a hefty fine if you get busted).

so, what you'd get before the tune:

-fuel pump (040, 044, walbro or nismo)

-exhaust:

get a split dump pipe, or a split dump/front pipe in 1. hiflow cat. and any 3" cat back exhaust you like.

-you wont need a fuel reg.

turbo elbow isnt an aftermarket item. its a standard feature on your standard turbo

downpipe = dump pipe (already mentioned).

3) Are there any reccommended dyno tuners in the brisbane area? Sorry I am new to all of this stuff.

hit the Queensland section of the site and do a search.

4) the car seems to be lagging a bit since i put the FMIC in at standard boost, will this be improved when i install the electronic boost controller, I have been told that you can safely boost at 12 pounds with FMIC?

i'd keep the boost standard till you get an exhaust. you'll usually gain around 3psi from a nice flowing exhaust. if you turn the boost up to 12psi now, then get an exhaust you'll run 15psi without noticing. so just install the boost controller, leave it at around 9-10psi and get the exhaust installed. if you hit above 12psi then you'd want to turn it back. i wouldnt run 12psi constantly on the standard turbo either.
