hey guys ive got a few mods in mind next its time to get something really expensive so ive got the choice of...

-boost controller Blitz SBc ID 3 i have in mind

-Wheels

-intercooler

-exhaust

-bodykit

- or i could just get a heap of little things

this is for my r32 gtst i was Originally thinkin on getting the boost controller because the 32 needs that xrtra bit of boost to put you back in the seat a bit more like the 33s but now im thinking either intercooler or wheels

thanks for the help

is your turbo stock? might want to look at replacing it since the stock ones can't take too much boost. Even if its a cheap one with steel compressor and turbine blades, atleast then you won't have to worry about it blowing up :P

yep, there pretty much all the same (they handle about 10-12psi max). check out: http://www.monstaperformance.com/ they have a TamKO T3/ T4OE 500hp turbo going for $800 - much better than the stock one, then you could run as much boost as you want with it.

Don't even bother with looking at an upgraded turbo until you have done the basics:

* Full turbo-back exhaust

* FMIC

* Fuel pump

* Injectors

etc etc

Just going out now and bolting on a bigger turbo with what you have (or don't have by the sounds of it) is going to do nothing but burn a whole in your wallet.

definately finish off your exhaust first. I duno if there is much point getting just an FMIC. I would only get one if i already had an ebc or was gona get one at the same time. see how you like it will a full zorts, FMIC, boost up to like maybe 12 psi. I doubt you will be maxing out your injectors or fuel pump with the amount of power those mods will provide. If after that you feel its not enough then look into turbo upgrades, like a 2530 or even a rb25 turbo if your budget is tight. be aware that with a turbo upgrade you will likely have to do injectors and pump to get the full benefit out of it.

    • He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.
    • Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work. 
    • Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me  
    • Poor bleeding. That stupid damping loop in the plumbing that should be completely replaced with a braided hose. Just the first 2 that come to mind.
    • Forgive the potentially silly question but are the vents for bay temps? I've been toying with how to reduce my bay temps because man, it gets HOT in there and a small subtle vent somewhere I think might help. Or, maybe they're to assist with just the intake temps?
