Bf Ii Intro And Plan Of Attack. :d

[LTMFD]

Hey guys. I've been lurking in and out of this forum for a few months now, sussing what I wanna do to my April '07 built BF II turbs with a manual and luxury pack. I'm still in the process of shopping around, seeing whats good and whats not, and it looks like I'm going to do it alot more before I decide on what I'm going to get and do. But first, a little intro...

I bought her back in November '09 at 66,000km and racked them up to 101,000kms. I haven't really been interested in doing anything to it until a big tax return and a few big bonuses from work popped up. Now here I am. :D

PICS!

(These are from when I first bought the car.)

Loving this grille. Its staying when I throw in a new cooler.

And a few pics from last January with the 20" shoes she has now. Damn it was hard getting these things. Apparently there were only 5 sets of these in Oz at the time and I had to pay out the arse for freighting them up from Melbourne before someone else snatches them up. - And before anyone says it, I know she needs to drop at least an inch to really look good.

Dead stock with a 10 psi generic SCT tune... for now. I've got a few parts laying around waiting to go in: Walbro GSS340, Siemens Deka 60s, triple gauge pod, Autometer cobalts, mechanical boost, electric oil press and a wideband AFR, and a Malwood Option 3+.

Been looking around for more parts to buy and so far I'm convinced to get: CES full stainless turbo back exhaust and a Rapid v4.5 cooler kit. I know its all at the high end of the scale, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and all for reliability, so I'm willing to pay more in high quality parts to end up with a nice safe tune that will last. Let's say I'm looking for around 400rwkw for now.

Any thoughts or comments? Am I over or underdoing it with the parts I'm looking at? Anything else I should consider? Anything I'll be limited by in terms of internals? Fire away!

400 is a good goal. My only advice would be to buy direct from Plazmaman for the cooler kit.

Other than that, you have a great list of mods planned, you'll also need to do the turbo mod and a surge tank but you'll acheive over 400kw.

[LTMFD]

Yeah the surge tank sounds like a goer. For the turbo mod, you mean the wastegate porting and flapper mod, yeah? I'm a little worried if it'll hit up against the split dump.

[Henz]

That's what I was referring too. A bigger single dump will be better than the split.

With No actuator and wastegate porting it won't be able to hold much boost and no tuner would touch it.

[LTMFD]

I'll keep looking around for exhausts then. Any problems with doing the turbo mod first up as it stands now? I may as well get that out of the way along with the clutch thrown in before I continue collecting parts.

I'll mention my turbo is 100% factory - no actuator mod or ported wastegate...holds 15PSI flat from 3000RPM fine 3.5" split dump I'm pretty sure on my Manta 2x2.5" full system. For 400rwkw though you will certainly need it.
