I have a S1 R33 gts t automatic

and have fitted bilstein suspension, jasma 3" cat back, and a KN pod. For some time now i have flirted with the idea of adding some type of piggyback! Out of all the many options out there i like the PRofec e-01 and was very pleased to see the abundence of info on one of the threads......thanks guys :D (and the e-manage)

i am trying not to aspire to a 12 second line simply because i want eat and pay rent etc! I simply would like to up boost! how high boost can you go on the standard turbo and core?

the only thing i will consider getting after the piggy back is a fmic.

is the PRofec e-01 the best way to go is there a better option for me?

hey pete

I dunno much about the profec e-01, but I assume that u're looking for a fuel management system of some sort. A good piggyback one is the apexi S-AFC range. I put one on my car a few months back...it gave me 66rwhp right off the bat. I couldn't complain.

It won't increase boost though, but it will increase the power output on whatever boost level u are at.

standard turbo and core should be able to handle up to 13psi if I am not mistaken. If anyone can correct me on that, go ahead.

hope this helps

Pete forget about your ECU at this stage and finish off your exhaust. Going from a 3" Cat-back exhaust to a full (front/dump/cat/back) 3" exhaust I gained 10rwkw.

Then taking the boost from the standard 7psi to 11-12psi is another 10rwkw gain.

yeah what ben said... get a dump and front pipe and a 3" cat (round $700-800 for that lot) and defenately get a new intercooler before even thinking about management, Australia's climates really screw with forced induction without decent cooling... then, with the series 1 turbo, you could wind up to 14psi safely and you'd be looking at around 160ish rwkw with those mods.

As mentioned above, do the dump and get a front mount and a simple boost controller. And a boost gauge would help too.

The e-01 is a boost controller, not a piggy back, the e-manage is the fuel/ignition computer.

ok thanks guys... i will get hold of the down pipe and front pipe to finish of the exhaust! IF ANY ONE KNOWS OF ANY FOR SALE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

as far as the front mount goes i am avoiding it simply because of the cost and that i will probbaly have to replace the front bumper for airflow and room! i would think that it would be impossible to fit a gtr core behind the s1 bumper??

Hi Gson,

I get most of my exhaust mods done by Glenroy Exhaust in Campbellfield, recently got my front pipes done for the GTR their. No offence to BATMBL but can't see them doing any better job than the guys at Glenroy Exhaust & Paul always looks after me on price $$ 350 fitted.

Ask for Paul - "if you like" tell him Simon with the GTR sent you

PS: They been in the industry for years, & most of their work is performace stuff. The guys their really know their stuff.

Intercooler wise the trust R-SPL tube and fin core replacement would offer improved performance over stock and fits in the same position for about $900.

The airflow of the original postion is much better than a frount mounting but, has space limits.

See how you go without the intercooler upgrade first.

Totally agreee with benm.

Since you have a 3" cat back system, get one of batmbl's 3" dump/front pipe. It certainly did the trick on mine then get the SAFC to tune the air flow.

the R-SPL is the tube and fin core. The R-spl core is the one you get with the trust intercooler that bolts in the factory position (ie: it's a side mount not a front mount). Front mount intercooler kits are availible in a variety of core spec and sizes.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
