Thanks for you concern 2ltrv8

But i only plan to boost it to 0.7 bar... not much at all i know. But i think that way the clutch wont die so fast on me until i can replace it with some more heavier. Then after that i will turn up the boost a bit more.

Im just very confused with the dump/front pipe.. there are so many styles to choose from i really dont know what to pick.

I guess more research for me..~

0.7 bar is enough to lunch the clutch bro, depending on your driving style.

Really man, it's a good investment, the previous two posts support the act.

As far as the dump, mine is the dump/down with divorced wastegate. As stated it produces less cavitation and interferes less with the vortex down the system. They cost a little more but I won't turn back ever, and I've recommended them to my club with the same positive results.

Ultimately the choice is yours my man, just take everything into account before making YOUR descision.

im not saying dont do the clutch im just saying its probably not even slipping yet.. and hes not even making descent power yet

10 psi isn't even that much boost

once you start going past 12 psi theres lots of parts at the end of their life and limits... fuel pump, injectors, afm.. maybe he should change all them before he gets a full 3 inch and ups the boost to 10psi :thumbsup:

I'd say go the clutch first

As Jarrod83 has said the clutch can be eaten quickly once the boost goes up. fortunately for me mine had putted around for some time before both me and him noticed it slipping.

Then one night while i was up north of the river the clutch decided to pretty much die

i got home the following morning moving at about 10kmph and the car didnt even get up the driveway

car stayed there for 1-2 weeks while i waited on a clutch 2 days after i got the clutch luckily it was a weekend both me and jarrod83 threw it on in there with the car at home on jackstands it wasnt the best way for it to go but sometimes u learn the hard way.

in other words i suggest the clutch be replaced before upping the boost or before trying to get any more power out of your car :thumbsup:

goodluck :D

i have a Greddy profec boost contoller

i wouldnt recommend it, its too hard to change boost settings on it

just jap sells a split front/dump that bolts straight up and is about $250 from memory

Profec B specII?

PROFEC B, simple to install and easy to operate. 2 settings high and low and hold boost well.

Agreed.

I vouch for Profec B as well.. I had it on my car last time and whenever it hits boost, it just holds there really well :)

Agreed.

I run a Profec B SpecII and it's mint, some people just can't get their head around how they work :woot:

I also run a 4-puck sprung brass button clutch with a heavy pressure plate, it's also mint :D less pucks = more agressive engagement :D

Maybe even get Kermit to do a custom dump pipe, or jjr split or x-force bellmouth. The results will all be much the same. Quality would be the issue you want something that will last. Any high flowing cat will do the same job, or just go de-cat.

I have heard bad things about the apexi boost controllers. Best bet is to go for a blitz DSBC. I think there around 380 new and hold boost real well.

With these mods tuned with safc your looking around the 235-250 accurate hpatw as long as your fuel pump is ok.

Oh yeah, I'm also running an XSPower (I think.. it was written on it but been a while since I last had it off) split dump into a 3" front pipe, no issues. Have heard of lost of issues with the JJR split dump/fronts though.

Hm

Ok.

So say if i did exhaust, then clutch and fuel pump.

THen finally tune with safc 2 and with boost controller (yet to be deicded)

Is it alright for my car to be running FMIC and Full 3 inch exhaust with out being tuned? for im assuming 3 - 4 weeks while i get more money together for the tune?

Sure is. The FMIC and exhaust won't affect your vehicle without tuning at all.

Yeah absolutely fine.

Alright, looks like ill be heading down that track then.

Poor safc 2 can sit on my table for a bit more longer. haha.

Ive decided on a bellmouth one piece front/dump and a hi flow cat but unsure between cermaic or metal. I know cermaic is cheaper,, and apparently easily gets blocked? So maybe its worth the extra dollars to go the metal cat? Ill probably got Xforce on both. Sounds good?

The problem with ceramic cats is that if your car is running rich (which most of ours do, and some more than others - particularly those with base mods and no tune), the richness causes the ceramic insides to collapse. I wouldn't bother with a ceramic Xforce cat.

These are the ones im thinking about getting... Are they the correct ones?

These will bolt straight up into my hks hi power cat back right?

After i install these, my exhust system will b complete?

I wouldnt worry about the clutch, it will hold fine.

As for the boost controller, you dont need to know how to use it really because the tuner will/should give you the best result with it anyway, just say what PSI you want to run on hi and what psi on lo and you should'nt have to modify it after that. I for one have the profec 2, looks nice and works 100% fine.

I would recommend getting the fuel pump done beforehand. My car ran lean on the dyno because of a dying fuel pump so I had to buy a fuel pump off them and pay them to install it so that costed quite a bit of $.

The tune made a huge difference in power, then it got boring after 3 months :thumbsup:

    • 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.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
