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:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
