Just put my r back on the road mods so far include exhaust, apexi induction, hks ssqv, struts front and back, walbro 255 pump. Any suggestions what to do next for a bit of extra bhp? want some reliable power!
Imho, the best mod you can do to any car, performace orientated or not, is and bespoke ecu remap.
You'll get more power, torque and more quickly. You'll also get all round better drivability and better fuel consumption.
Not sure where you're based but, Horsham Developments in Surrey, and The Racing Line in Halifax, both offer bespoke mapping of the stock ecu. If I had the cash, that's what I'd go for ! ;-)
Of course, if you haven't improved your brakes and suspension, over the stock set up, it might be an idea to get them done first.
Alternatively, driver training is a very good idea. That'll teach you how to drive you car as it is, and get the most from it. I'd expect with some decent instruction, you'd probably be able to drive the car quicker and more safely with the current set up, than you would with the extra power and torque of any more mods, without the training.
Just a few ideas bud.

Cheers for your input. Have done both suspension and brakes with tein and a 6 pot kit. I'm based in S.Wales not sure where to get it set up round here? Any idea on cost of set up off standard ECU?

with those mods, straight up to 1 bar, you can then either get an safc or unichip, map it to 1.2 bar - thats your lot. if you want it reliable then keep it to 1.1 bar (circa 310 - 320 bhp and around 280lb/ft)LILMAN said:
