How Much Power Should I Be Expecting

[sturb25]

I bought a series 2 about a year ago and did my 1st 2 mods on it when i bought it which was a pod filter and split fire coil packs. Since then ive bought a power fc and a gfb manual boost controller. my standard dyno figure was 100awkw without pod and coil packs and 110awkw with pod and coil packs. how much power should i be expecting with the powerfc and boost controller? Remembering i dont have an aftermarket exhaust and intercooler. Also i have a bosch fuel pump, do u advise that i put this in b4 i get it dynoed or will the standard pump be ok as im not going to get maximum power out of it due to not having an exhaust and intercooler.

Depends, if your running a standard exhaust and no aftermarket front mount intercooler i reckon 130awkw.. With the very small mods you have your very restricted at the moment..

With a good tune you could get around 130 - 140AWKW at 10 psi. I doubt that you would see much difference from the new fuel pump but if you've already got one why wouldn't you install it now - might give you a little more security of fuel supply (safety rather than more power). You'll get a dramatic improvement from a new front pipe and three inch exhaust system (gut the cat or ditch it depending where you are)...at least another 30 AWKW

I take it you have a manual?

would you advise 10psi on stock intercooler? (im not 100% sure its a great idea)

I say go the intercooler, zorst and fuel pump then get it all dyno'd in one hit. might save you some time and money on getting it redyno'd.

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm running 16psi on my Trust SMIC and people have done 220AWKW on the GTT SMIC (bit bigger than the stock Stagea) but if a front mount is in the planning then yes doing them all at the same time makes a lot of sense.

[66yostagea]

The R34 smic is supposed to be good for 200kw. See DIY section.

And its less expensive. Also cut out the corrugated section on the inlet pipe and replace with 3" ss pipe.

Thanks

Sorry forgot to mention that it has a 3 inch front pipe and high flow cat, just standard cat back. Are the fuel pumps easy to get to?

Yeah its a manual wouldnt have an auto, couldnt have an auto!!!

I would but i dont have the money to spend on them at the moment and im taking my stagea home to tassie and i would love just a little extra power than last time.

to easy champ all in good time

His car is a series 2, so it has the "r34SMIC". personally i would be fitting the pump, the stocky is what, 10years old?

I would personally get an exhaust sorted before the tune, so as to save money on retuning.

Yep you can get it without dropping the tank. Run the fuel as low as possible and then rip up the floor in the boot there is a panel in the top of the tank. You may have to stuff around with the bracket to get your new pump to fit.

well mine was 116KW FMIC and pod

after exhaust 140.2KW

exhaust is the cheapest and best power gain you can get i think

plus it just feels nicer to drive

my s2 is a manual neo and it is pitty much stock except for a BOV ,10 psi ,K&N pannel filter and my exhaust isnt the factory one

but it is just the same and im getting after a tune on a AWD dyno 170awkws . i dont know why you guys are talking such low figures like

100kw - 140kw because you should be getting that from the factoy with out any mods

nah not quite, here are my figures from my car over the past few years

series 1 auto awd

factory - 100kws tuned in rwd with driveshaft out

with pod filter and cat-back exhaust = 115rwkw

with safc = 130kw

with sitc = 140kw

with 040 fuel pump and turbo dump pipe = 160kw

with highflow turbo = 180kw

with ecu remap = 200kw

with poncams & headwork = 220kw ?

with extra fuel = 240kw *

(? for as in, being tuned now, and * as in next tune)

[JOHNNNY]

TO start with mate your stag is auto and it is also a series 1 which has a diffrent engine , not the NEO engine

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

apply that to a NEO and expect more with a decent tune ....and maybe a clutch

[Tangles]

of course, to both of you (Johhny & rbpowa)

it's a "thereabouts" to give you a rough indication of whats what.

auto / awd, add in manual / rwd factor and neo for S2

Hi Tangles

I have just got my GCG highflow fitted and I'm getting 190AWKW. I was hoping for 200 but will be putting in an adjustable exhaust cam gear and with a better tune should top the magic 200. What do you mean by "extra fuel"? Are you getting bigger injectors?

[Tangles]

extra fuel = bigger injectors, or in my case additional injectors (2x 700cc sard on intake manifold, controlled by HKS AIC-4)
