What next, FMIC & bOOsT Control or Front+dump in one?

[Mr_G]

Hi Guys,

Its time to start power modding. My current car (R33 GTST 95) has the following:

*Standard solenoid mod grounded for 7psi below 4.5k RPM

*Apexi Power intake, No CAI but coming soon

*3.5 inch cat back system (Jasma)

*lowered and 17x8, 17x9 wheels (235 fronts, 255 rears)

Everything else on the car is stock, ie turbo, internals etc

I was deciding what I should do next in modding. Would it be best to add a bigger cooler such as the generic hybrid ones and boost controller so I can safely run higher boost? Or complete the rest of my exhaust system? Each way is going to cost me at least $1,000 as im going for the CES split dump & hi-flow cat.

I would be doing both mods in the end, but which would you go for first and why?

Forget the coola for now. If you finish the zorst, add a little boost (say 10psi), and sheild your pod you should be see 13s down the quarter.

Go the CES I've got one and made 7rwkw more with 2psi less boost (6psi)! The gain at stock boost was 10rwkw :uh-huh:

yer definatley do the exhaust, i got my dump/front pipe all in one and made 10rwkw gain stock, then put a bleed valve up to 10psi, dont worry bout cooler as been said,

oh and partion of ur air filter, i bought the fibreglass cai kit from UAS got extra 6rwkw from that with the pipe to front bar...

cheers...ben.

Interesting, so looks like the FRONT+DUMP in one is the next mod to do along with my cat and CAI at the same time... Are you running the CES type Front n dump Ben or another type???

The one im actually interested in is the one made by Cypher industries located in perth which is the same design as the CES one where the turbulance is reduce because of the seperate piping for wastegate, but are they both the same at the end of the day? Or has anyone actually used the Cypher one?

Cheers

I bought one from BATMBL on here today, which is the mild steel one peice....i'll let u know how it goes. The welding seems to be of good quality, seen alot worse in my time. I find the CES ones to be abit pricey for what it is, i'd rather buy a hks dump and custom front pipe.

my 2 cents

Awesome, once you got it all fitted up, let us know how it goes... Im looking at ordering most likely the CES one within the next 2 weeks, and probably get the Shielded box for my POD from UAS whilst im at it...

i would do the following:

- get a 'before' dyno test to see what power you are making and your car's general helthj

- get a 3" dump/front in one off BATMBL

- get a bleed valve and up the boost to about 10psi

then later on down the track go the FMIC

CES pipes are worth every cent

Im ordering one made by Cypher Industries, which is the same design as CES, has anyone tried the cypher out??? Also do these gain more performance over the ones that dont have the seperate piping for the wastegate gases ?

Just wanna see how my car would perform against my mates who has same cat back as me, however hes just got 3 inch piping normally done with thermo tape and hi-flow cat.

Does it also sound alot beefier with the Cypher or CES split dump n front?

Forget an EBC save ur money and buy a HKS actuator or just oval out the holes in the waste gate mount and increase the tension to the disired psi. Will give you the quickest spool available.
