Default What next for more power.

What do I change next for more go go go

03 STI
PPP
Turbo back 3 inch exhaust
Performance cone filter inside bottom of wing picking up lots of cold air
Been re mapped by Andy F (but with the 2 1/2 inch exhaust, now changed)

334 bhp at the mo


What do you Gentlmen suggest,


Also is it possible to raise the rev limiter up a 1000 or 2
as it goes through the gears so quickly it hits the limiter

Cheers Alun

Whats the weakest/sticking point in the setup ?

Turbo / injectors

then new engine internals ???

Gearbox and clutch to take it all ?

I'd go the better brakes and suspension route as the power is at a nice level, theres a group buy for k sport 8 pots at the moment or go for a set of AP or at the very least go for performance friction discs and pads.

Perhaps also a set of AST coilovers

AST coilovers are the nuts. If you don't want to spend 1500+ on the brakes ferrodo 2500 pads all round will improve things.

I would leave the limiter where it is assuming its a uk car? uk internals won't cope with much more.

A lightened fly wheel would also be a good edition.

Brakes and suspension would be a good route to go at this stage, those K-sports get very good reviews and are an excellent price, if i hadn't recently fitted Brembo's think i would of had a set of these.

AST or Tein coilovers are both good, plus lots of whiteline bits will sort the suspension out.

Then when you want more power still, i would say the next level would be bigger injectors, MD321H turbo and a set of headers and obviously another re-map, this should give around 400bhp, anymore than that and uprated internals would be sensible.

I agree with some of the suspension recommendations, but can't help recalling what the guy at castle combe ALWAYS states at the driver sign in /overview.....

A car with more power or a Car that handles.....

he says a car with more power......



Oh yeah.......... check out KW Shocks !!
