Quote from: leon;607332Thats not 100% true, Knightsports will give you a list of what mods the ecu was modded for etc if you post a message up on their forum with its serial number :driving

like already said your first step is to get aftermarket ecu Apexi/motec etc.
probably new fuel rail/injectors, fuel pump/fpr and a remap should get you somewhere near.
Is it really worth it for the stock twin though? I am kind of on the same boat here. Intake and back box. Planning to get down pipe and mid pipe, map it and call it a day.
 
With injectors, fuel pump, intercooler and everything why not go all the way and get big single?

lee mills

all depends what power you want really. if you want to stay on stock twins then probably not. although better cooling is always a good option no matter what you intend to do

Apexi ecu
Full exhaust system from turbo(s) back  (need to go single to see safe 400bhp!)
injectors
Intercooler
Fuel pressure reg
uprated fuel pump

going with stock twins you could see 350bhp, but any more than that I think you will be replacing turbos on a regular basis, so it you want more, then a single turbo is the way forward!!
Then a remap for the ECU!!

I saw 380hp at the flywheel (320 at the hubs) with:

Apexi PFC,
Tripple Core Front mount,
1300cc secondaries (with better pump),
Twin spark,
80mm Downpipe,
80mm mid pipe
Ziegen Backbox.
Electric Waterpump
C-West Front Bumper (Improves air intake).
Stronger Clutch.

This was with the Turbos tuned at 0.95bar. Only really swapped to the single when I started having boost issues that were caused by vac line issues.

Its all about cooling. I\'m still running a stock rad, although it has had a brazed top cap fitted before I bought it and its still doing ok. On the single I\'m also running water injection and much more fueling. Its not a big turbo though !

OK mate thanks,
 
So how much do you think that would end up costing to change it to a single turbo?

Jono FD3

that is when the money comes in, as good turbos are not cheep, especialy if you buy new!! then you have to get a wastegate, exhaust manifold, down pipe, & the cheepest bit: air filter! then you have to custom make the pipes to the IC. so you would probably be looking a few grand :(

if you want more power you are gonna have to change the injectors, you cant really turn the boost up much without maxing out the stock injectors.

Like others have said Apexi Power FC is a must and one of the best mods you can do

Timmy

the cost of going single from stock is probably closer to £5000.
i gotta agree you will almost certainly have to upgrade the fueling.

chrisJDM

yes when you add it all up, going for a decent single setup is gonna cost quite a bit, i built mine up over time so everything was ready for it then when i went single bought one and just bolted it on, job done :)

Ok mate, do you know any web sites i can pick one up?

lee mills

probaby best to give one of the tuners a ring they might have one in stock if your lucky

mikemike180

Ok guys
 
I think at the minute i should stick with the twin turbo\'s and just try pushing as much as i can, i\'m still not sure exactly what i\'m needing in an apexi pfc, are they pretty standard?
