After Edit Mods

[Iconic Bionic]

With taxman being generous this year the misses has signed off on a few extra mods, though she still doesnt know about the Edit.

I already run the C&V generic tunes, 8 and 10Psi. The 10 goes like the clappers for me and I love how its been running in this colder weather. Both the 8 and 10 tunes give me better fuel economy than than the factory tune which is handy cuz my car is used every day and I dont ever want GT fuel consumption.

Im looking at 2 extra mods, 1) High flow Cat and 2) better CAI, like the Phoon setup. No injectors or messing with internals. I just like to keep things simple. The car only 8 months old with 12K on it.

These with a custom tune, courteous of C&V im sure will give me a bit more, but im not looking for the magical 300rkw. The 280-290 mark sounds nice.

Will I get there and for what sort of $$$.

Without doubt Injectors should be your 1st mod then Exhaust and actuator

Yeah you need the bigger injectors mate... if anything its a saftey thing, ford wont fix it if it leans and goes bang, but with a CustomV tune and the siemens injectors it'll be safe for years to come

do yourself a favour!

id suggest a cat too cause the euro3 cats flow very poorly

Yeah the spray pattern suits the head well

IB, unless you get injectors you will not see 280rwkw, as the injectors will be running out of puff with your current KW.

As C&V have said, injectors, Actuator then cat/or new exhaust

I had never considered injectors, but I always see stuff written about them. I always thought injectors were for big power and onwards.

So injectors, a cat and a custom tune looks like the way to go. you C&V boys got any ball park figures for a price? I only trust you blokes.

Thanks.

Yeah definately get injectors and hi flow cat,if the taxman was very generous maybe get a better cooler.

Hi Guys, Just the info I was after... I only have 2 questions;

1) What is an Actuator, and what does it cost/fitting?

2) Is the Cat as restrictive in the BA's (as these vehicles are not euro3 from memory), if required to be changed what is the cost?

I am gearing up to get a custom and would like to get this stuff done first.

actuator controls the wastegate and thus boost. they about $160 bux plus fitting which is about 2hours. after injectors cat will restrict you next, so get one. then you will see 280rwkw. id get a cooler too, otherwise you intake temps will skyrocket under the increased boost and then you will be back to 260rwkw after a few good squirts of the throttle
