How Many Mods Can You Do Before You Get An Edit?

[driftpig01]

Can some more learned could advise on what mods can be done before an edit..

I have a custom front mount ok except overboosting (11psi on a good day)

CAI

The dump and cat will be something the big fat bastard in the red suite will bring

Will this send the car into limp mode???

Can I fit a Walbro 341 intank fuel pump prior to the edit??

Can 968 injectors support 350kw with the above mods? or will the stock back half of the exhaust limit that??

Sorry for all the questions

DP,

You are at the limit now. The Cooler is usually enough to make the car need an edit, if you do the Exhaust, it will definatly need it.

I would get santa to do the edit for xmas and wait for the exhaust.

Put it this way, without an edit there is simply NO POINT to doing other mods. Since an edit alone will get you a good 260rwkw without other modifications, I would have suggested this be the first port of call for anyone wanting more power out of their T.

And the thing with the injectors is it will not run properly at all due to the injector duty cycle being way too high with the stock tune... but you probably already knew that. I would suggest replacing the cat will make the car run like a pig. It might not hit limp mode but I'm sure it will be sluggish as hell.

I'd be getting a custom edit tune immediately (at a reputable tuner).

Save your bikkies for a trip to the big smoke, and get it set up properly.

The difference is chalk and cheese!

If you're in far north Qld, with only 95 RON pulp, you'll need to specify that to your tuner too.

Yes I will be getting an edit in the new year, So if I get the exhaust works done prior to the edit it will go into limp mode??

The injectors will be put in by the tuner doing the edit, will this make 350kw?

And the fuel pump I have one available can I put this in in readiness fro the edit?

car WILL go into limp mode if you put a new cat in..

not too sure about the fuel pump, never heard of anyone doing it before edit??

edit+cat+injectors+pump+cooler should see you above 300 but not sure about 350.. that's around rebuild territory and you'll defn need a clutch

Exactly. The BA 6T are completely reliant on the computer to control just about everything.

Absolutely no benefit of an engine based mods until and edit is made IMO, which is further supported by the fact the edit alone does so much.

I have read of people putting just the exhaust no edit and there cars are going backwards like a stock T with just the after market exhaust running 15 sec QRT mile times.

Usually that happens when a cat convertor is done, so you free up back pressure on the turbo wheel, the small arse factory wastegate cant keep up with the extra flow to control such a low boost pressure and well, you make to much boost, ecu says NO NO, and torque tags kick in. Bang 160rwkw

[4ST-XR6]

From memory the increased exhaust diameter and hence decreased backpressure causes the standard calibration in the pcm (powertrain control module) to see and overboost situation and back the boost pressure off.

I saw a Turbo ute and at a shop in town on the dyno, made 181rwkw with standard exhaust, then 199rwkw with his new system on the first run, then every run for the next 3 runs the rwkw figure dropped my 10kw each time until I told them what was goin on. Moral of the story like already stated, get your flash box and custom tune straight up, a friend of mine went from 187rwkw to 252rwkw with no extra mods, and if its manual, I would be upgrading the clutch next cause the standard one doesn't like the extra newtons

cheers
