I'll play nice..

Essentials before power (for me anyway):

- bucket seat

- 1.5/2 way diff

- good suspension

- replace castor bushes

- subframe pineapples

- hicas lock bar

- decent tyres & pads

then:

- fmic

- fuel pump (if needs a new one)

- boost controller

- simple off the shelf toshi remap

rip skids all day

its appropriate for me to describe you anyway i feel like....i don't mind helping bleating newbies, everyone starts somewhere.

I don't mean inappropriate as in impolite. You can be as impolite to me as you like because other people's opinion of me, especially at this remove, is of very little concern. I mean inappropriate as in incorrect/wrong/don't-know-what-you're-talking-about. You can go along being as incorrect as you like and your credibility will soon match your veracity.

Helping bleating newbies outright, by typing out information that has already been typed out 10 or 100 times before, is only fuelling the problem. If a correct answer already exists on the forums then putting up another version of the correct answer only lowers the signal to noise ratio. Doesn't improve it at all.

also because i have joined recently i've found the search is crap...you get better hits for SAU from google that the forum itself...and then when you do find something its in the 142nd page of a topic that is not even the topic you are searching for.

like the others have said...and to put it back on topic.

I'd go first for

exhaust, air filter

then

suspension (adjustables, rear sway bar, rear camber arms.)

uprated brake pads & brake master cylinder stopper

boost controller & fmic

then

ECU,injectors & turbo + exh manifold + tune

Yep, thats pretty much the regular advice!

For all we know the op has a budget of 500 bucks and wants a car that goes WOOOOOOSH TUTUTUTTUUUUUUU.

Untill that's clarified, this thread is a total waste of time.

And can't let it go, Badgaz you suggested a boost controller before the tune, so be prepared for the "my car has a misfire on boost" thread once that's fitted ;)

i wont say its a total waste of time... we can share opinions on which mods each of us would do first...we cant be all having the exact ideas rite?

just share and bounce off ideas... besides, the fact that we are posting here means we have a bit of time on our hands rite? LOL

I thought EVERYONE searched EVERY forum using google and the site: tag. It is a well known fact that bb and IPboard and all other forum software search functionality is crap.

Can confirm this works 100%

I just completed all this work and I am now into the 6th hour of my 4th gear standstill and everything is going great! Still on the mang pedal as I type this.

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
