Title: Stage 1+ mods
Post by: craigr on March 15, 2004, 04:16:18 PM
Hi,

After 4 years of abstainance, I have finally got hold of another FD.

It\'s a Jap Import from 2001, RB (the label in the door says \'RB Special Edition\'). Not sure really whether that means its a standard RB, or something different. Leather interior and no rear windscreen wiper are a couple of clues (?).

Anyhooo...

It has come with a 5Zigen cat back, the main cat appears to be intact, and I have managed to get hold of a good deal on a twin Apexi air intake, which I intend to get fitted at the same time as a PowerFC to avoid large explosions...

So, questions:

1) Can anyone identify what the model actually is ? It\'s registered in July 2001.
2) I think I\'ve read that Jap cars don\'t have the pre-cat like the UK models, so with the catback, I am really sensibly at the limit of any mods until I get a funkier ECU - Is that right ?
3) If I am to go for a PowerFC - can anyone recommend a good place to go who can do the whole installation and tuning of the maps. I\'m in Dorset, so Reworx and RX Motors seem like possible options (but I don\'t know either of their capabilities) - also I hear mention of Sense Tuning and their phone number appears to be local. Dunno who out of these is any good.

I\'ll stop waffling now.

Cheers in advance,

Craig

Craig, not sure about the model specific details, but I am sure that someone will post up.

I would think that you are close to the limits of what you can get away with.

I would recommend Ant (db2boy) for the purchae of the PowerFC and mapping of it. Top fella who wont mess you about. ;)

Go here to see how yours differs from the other variants, not much info though.

Seeings as its a day for blatent plugs! :rollin:

Craig, RE:Worx and RX Motors have plenty of satisfied customers, and I know RE:Worx have them on the shelf 99% of the time. Not sure about Sense Tuning atm, I think Chris is still fiddling but havent heard much of him of late - give him a buzz and see what he\'s up to...

Either way, Power FC should be some thing like £600...mapping a couple of hundred on top if done on a RR...

Ooo, I\'m all plugged out ;)
