Hey guys, who's done what to their car?

Im looking for any ideas on what to do next

Cheers

[gleem]

only got a bov and exhaust atm but sitting in my garage i have a t3/t4, manifold, tial wastegate, fmic, 3" downpipe. Just need to get battery to the boot done then i can put it all in and get the exhaust and fmic piping welded up

[GTTpower]

Ive done an fmic, 3" exhaust from turbo back, walbro in-tank fuel pump and 440cc injectors, bov and boost controller.
Waiting till driven performance has the production ST215W T3/T4 manifold, then ill upgrade the turbo and gate.

I've got 18's and Tein adjustables. That's all really
Was thinking about getting 3" Turbo back exhaust, but with the new emisions law just around the corner I dont think I'll bother.
FMIC = too much of a mission and lots of $$$ IMO.
The standard BOV is awesome as is anyway.

I'd say get a better ECU next. Talk to Five Bob, he's the guru on that I believe.

The FMIC wasn't too bad, just some creative thinking with the piping and your away, makes a good difference.
ECU would be definatly worth it, but $$$.

[gttNICK]

For the FMIC, did you rotate the compressor housing? I think this will be my next step... A pic would be awesome. Hoe much did you have to cut up the front bumper etc?

Extras on my gt-t as per sig. Also have a boost controller from driven performance waiting to go in, although I need someone in the hawkes bay to do it.

correct me if im wrong but i thought it was only applying to cars coming in to the country, for a good few years anyway.

and even then only to commercially imported ones, personal imports still don't matter :)

although, why change it if you're going to have to change it in a year or two anyway... depends on cash flow I guess.

[bbq1988]

Ive got the basic bits, K&N Panel Filter, 3" HKS Catback, Oil Catch tank, Tein Springs, Mintye Brake pads in the front and some others that AL Supplied me in the back.

Im just tidying it up at the moment but would like to get an aftermarket ECU As the next step

Id say Fortyone.co.nz would be your best bet in finding, or talk to them about sourcing one.

Cusco make very nice solid and braces (some adjustable). Front, rear, and underbody. As do whiteline. Both very high quality

That's was my point. Don't wana get one done then fail the emisions test and fork out more cash to fix it.
Although there probably is a way around it first time but meh.

it runs well, spools the similar to the stock turbo, but far better performance. soon to be dynoed, at about 18psi or so
