Making A Difference

[Ryan C]

I know this is going to turn into a N/A bash thread; but anyway!

Have been doing as much research as possible on google etc but am struggling to find any info....

Fuel pumps, injectors, weapon x coils.... do changing or using any of these make a difference on a N/A, or will it at all allow for better tuning once on the dyno??

Other than those, obviously using forged rods and pistons wouldn't do anything, correct? And there is little headwork that can be done as ford have already searched this to increase fuel economy im guessing?

Am just about to purchse a Transcooler for mine, but this is meerely just to save problems later on.

I know many threads have touched on this many times before... BUT! Once and for all (without resorting to bolting a snail to it - which would be good if it could handle it ) what mods should we be looking at after changing the intake piping, adding an F6 snorkel, throwing in a KN panel filter, extractors cat and exhaust, under drive, larger throttle body, putting cams in, and tuning??

is that it before we start on higher compressions pistons, shaving heads, and looking for better flow through the head? or should we be looking elsewhere? ....

Have a good read through the N/A section here, theres alot of info in there.

All depends on how much power you want in the end.

cams are a real pain to tune due to vct but if you want nice power out of NA you'll need them

[Panda Eyes]

im sure youve heard it before, but if your goal is power, trade it in for a t. the money would be less and the power of a stocky will be more than a well modded n/a.

but if youre dead keen then 4.11 diff gears will help alot with acceleration.

if you dont want to sell look into snort performances supercharger kits

sprintex twin screw blower kit 4.5k 230-250rwkw on 9psi with good exhaust

hmmm

underdrives = ehh it doesnt really tickle me so I never really cared

Intake = yeah but not much of an increase

exhaust = YUP.. def felt it in the seat once I got ph 4490's extractors.

cams = well worth it, def good top end... I didnt get much power because the tuner was sh*t

but despite that the performance factor after 4 thousand RPM it just came alive and ALOT more pull, I spent = 400 for crow camshafts, 500 installation, 700 for tuning it as it didnt idle after installing.

capa stock tunes = nah that's crap

stallie = Not yet but DEFINATELY would put it in if im not going to convert to a t56 manual.

Diff gears = mines a single pegger... so im not sure was going to try 3.7's but I mite leave it and get a lsd

kazz lsd/lsd = dont know, havent thought about it yet will after

TURBO KIT / charger = HELL Yeah... pickup a nice kit for around 1.2, install is about 1500-2000 but if u can find a mech as a mate will be hell cheaper really straight forward...

im only telling you how the car feels and drives I have no clue on the dyno yet as im tuning the car after the kits on mine with the cams

tune = 1400 with the new xcal 3 n hoping to pull alotta power and it will words dont express it but def would be a rush to drive the thing.

with injectors, bigger intercooler and stuff you'd be running close to 300rwkw without upping the boost more then 8psi id say.

mate for n/a I would go to a dif forum or better yet go speak to a tuner I'm not pushing you away but I have been watching this forum for a good couple of years not saying much but wat I can tell most people are going to tell you to buy a t the help you have got so far is about it

the capa vortech kits make 230rwkw on 10psi (dyno proven plenty of times) so it wont be a problem to get that power from a twin screw (which keeps the air charge cooler) plus there's that beautiful whine

will let yous know how it goes anyway since I'm getting one for mine when I sell the turbo gear I've accumulated for na conversion
