What Should I Expect?

[sy300]

I am looking at upgrading my Stagea. What sort of power should I be looking at if I add the Jaycar EBC and Fuel control and FMIC?

Keeping the standard turbo, injectors and exhaust.

What sort of increases can I expect?

A little bit of an increase, I'd be inclined to do the full exhaust first as that will make the biggest difference when doing the first mods. I'd forget the fuel control, IMO thats reasonably useless until you start producing more power. The FMIC will make a small but noticible difference, but again not much until you have a full exhaust.

I have a Trust exhaust (cat-back + generic 3" dump/front & cat), Trust FMIC, Apexi AVCR, Pod and some other goodies and it goes considerably better but is SUPER laggy, i have no real power until close to 5k.

Anyway, thats only my opinion from personal experiences with my skylines so somebody else may correct me.

From the 2 Jay Car kits I got an extra 21 KW, check all mods on the dyno page. from 129 to 150 KW

Check out the IEBC and DFA thread it has a few people's results as well. Our Stagea made an extra 30 rwk with just the IEBC (set to 10psi) and the DFA tuned. No mechanical mods, standard exhaust etc. With the IEBC set up correectly I get ful boost (10psi) holding it against the torque converter, that's ~2,400 rpm.

SK, did you tune the DFA yourself?

After a few minutes of head scratching I have concluded that the first post is NOT referring to a Fuel pressure regulator as I first thought and suddenly everything becomes clear!!

Thanks for that info. Just weighing up my options. I have to be careful what I do as the car still has a mechanical warranty, and certain modifications could void it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yep...well sorta.....I pushed the buttons on the DFA myself sitting in the passenger's seat and Dyno Dave ran the rollers and did the driving. We didn't have a very large time slot, so it was really quick doing it that way. About 20 minutes all up, including tie down time.
