Hi all

Just wondered what sort of power gains are available by fitting the following mods on a 3rd gen:

Full exhaust system
Induction Kit
and a replacement engine management system, like Apex\'i power FC or motec, etc

and how do they affect real world perfomance.

Cheers

p.s does anyone know what size the speakers are in a \'96 import? i know the ones with storage bins are in the top of the bins (i think), but I dont know where they are in the types with rear seats, or what size they are.

Mine has seats and the speakers are in the parcel shelf - not sure of the size but I could take a pic if it helps.
I started with nothing and I have most of it left

Andy, depends on what model and year you have.

A good exhaust, air filter and ECU can see very good results. Just check that the fuelling is right.

Doing a complete exhaust system and air filter can make the car run VERY lean. Lean is one thing that all rotary\'s dont like, esp. FD\'s.

A proper ECU map should be done on at least a rolling road, and this will show any tell tale problems.

yeah a pic would be good John, dont worry if its a hassle though, i should be picking the car up sometime this week so i\'ll find out then, just wondered if anyone knew off the top of their head.


Dan, its a 1996 Type RB.

Was planning to do the mods all at once (when ive re-couped some funds!) as I\'ve had warnings before about it running lean when it hasnt been re-mapped, etc

Is 300bhp at the flywheel a realistic figure? assuming parts are good quality

Fish

Andy, I think you might get a little more than 300 at the flywheel with those mods.

So long as things are done properly, you will have great fun. :D
