Title: What IC?
Post by: Crackdown on June 10, 2008, 11:22:31 AM
Ok, so after a year getting used to the rex I\'m feeling the need for more speed, currently she\'s a standard RS bar a dragon de-cat & exhaust which is a bit loud :chat.

I\'m looking for an apexi dual cone kit (where\'s the best place to get one from?) followed by a PFC + intercooler. Here is where I\'m stuck, should I get a front mount (can\'t afford £1000 for a V mount) and if not what should I go for and where from?

I\'ve seen a few ICs on ebay, are they any good? This one (clicky) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230258411251&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching) caught my eye, also I can get the hoses in red rather than blue to match the car. :mmmm

Are there any other mods worth doing before the IC and PFC go on such as a downpipe (will there be a noticeable power gain?) as it would be silly to shell out for another remap - unless I learn to map it myself or something which is unlikely as I\'m no mechanic.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Where is Somerset are you?
 
We have a secondhand intercooler you are more than welcome to come and see.
 
What turbo set up are you running?

I\'m near the lovely Burnham-On-Mud, getting about is no problem though. :Hammer

Tubbies are standard sequential twins, probably going to go single down the line but there\'s lots to be done before that. What intercooler is it and do you have everything that\'s needed to go with it (pipes, hoses, etc.)?

I saw an extra 20bhp+ with a FEED downpipe on my already de-catted FD (and would have been more if I\'d left the exceptionally loud but freer-flowing backbox on instead of swapping to a much quieter (i.e. track-friendly) 5Zigen box).

Already running an ARC airbox, ARC SMIC, Walbro fuel pump, de-cat, PFC at the time.
