Airbox, pod, AFM, front mount, computer, high flow t28, boost controller, custom low mount manifold, full exhaust, screamer, BBS 17x11, semi slicks, fuel pump, fuel reg... what else can i bolt on to maximize the above?

What do you mean? Do you want more power? I didn't see any suspension mods, have you considered changing suspension setup to fully optimise your power delivery.....

Sparkplugs, injectors, valve springs, plenum, oil cooler, tranny cooler, SURGE TANK!!!!!!!

Guess it depends how far you want to go and what power your making, the suspension is a good idea to get a good response out of the power your making and depending on what power your making a surge could help sort out niggles in the process, valve springs will help with the surging aswell i guess.

Why don't you rebuild your engine now? :(

Im after more power.

Car is at a workshop right now, before i get it tuned i want to bolt on as much shit as i possibly can, then ill look at the suspension.

You, my friend, have got it backwards.

best to let him learn this for himself IC, he'll do is power mods no matter what we say... but he'll learn real fast when he takes it out cant put it to the road and smaller lesser powered cars drive right on by.

Believe me guys i know the importance of suspension, grip, tuning but for now my main aim is power from bolt ons.

I want to basically buy it from the shop and put it on myself then get it all tuned.

Reason being is i just want to look good on the dyno sheet for now :(... ill fix the rest up a little later down the track.

ya know looking at it i think you've got all the tack on bits done... for anything else (cams etc) you need to open things up. you could do a set of adjustable cam gears... or maybe a bigger turbo... but thats all that comes to mind... or a nice set of coil overs... you know while the cars in the shop and all.... get it over and done with.

or if u have a big budget.... rebuild ?? :(

Ive had a suggestion from my mate at the workshop, said to f**k the AFM off and go with a MAP sensor.

How much difference will that make?

how much do u wanna spend!!?

change your turbo and get it tuned properly by a competent tuner if you want more power.

even better, go to a decent tuner and ask them. they will tell you what needs to be done to it, better than any advice you'll get outta this thread or from a mate in a workshop who tells you you'll get more power changing from an afm to map...

ps - you're running semi slicks but havent thought hard about suspension?? :)

Semi slicks were second hand so i bought em for the sake of it lol :) I run RE050 tyres now, use the semis for the track which is rarely.

The car is just for street i dont want hard suspension because the hume highway, canterbury rd etc... are a f**ken pain in the ass !!!!

I did mention i have an aftermarket ECU (computer) in my first post, just didnt mention which one. And i rather not say as not to get laughed at :D

The wheels are actually 17x10.5, they dont hang out but they are basically in line with the wheel well and they miss the suspension by about 1cm, which is why i went wider instead of 18's. Ill show you pictures. Front wheels are 17x9, i forgot to mention that.

My mate at the workshop didnt say the MAP would make a huge difference but he did say its better than an AFM for later when i do start going breserk on tuning :(

Are there any other bolt ons other than throttle body, plenum, fuel rail, injectors and up the sparking package. Can i just buy all the parts, bolt em together then swap em into the car? Or is it a little more than that?

Thanks guys :P

The dyno operator can make anything look good on a sheet of paper if that's all you want........ :P

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
