Well Im new to the forum, so hello everyone Well, im going TT very soon and I have my list of parts that Im going to purchase and just thought if you guys had any suggestions or maybe add ons to the list that would benefit me in my setup? Goal is 400-440whp.Daily Driven car also. Install and setup will be done by forged once I give them a call Thanks in advance

Already On Car:
JWT clutch/flywheel
Greddy EVO TT exhaust
test pipes
UR Pulleys
Samco Hoses
JWT Oil Pan Spacer

Parts To Purchase:
Kinetix SSV
Samco Hoses
CJM FRS
HKS SSQV BOV
NGK spark plugs 1SC
walbro fuel pump
Greddy TT
FCON VPRO(haltech instead?)
HKS EVC Boost Controller
HKS Turbo Timer
defi gauges
Aem Wideband

 

looks like you need to spend a little more time here before you go and buy all this stuff, because the SSV is garbage basically. also, although the FCON is essentially the best ems out there, its important you understand how expensive it is, along with the tuning and the harness and wiring, it can be extremely pricey. other than that go for it and post pics, b/c aside from the ssv it should be a nice setup

 

may want to consider an innovate wideband instead of the AEM also. I am about to go through this process myself at Forged. Just waiting for the Greddy Kits to come off back order. The Fcon is a great EMS but very pricey, about 3k installed and tuned. You could get a UTEC for those power levels for way less.

 

SSV garbage? hmmm..how so? Just curious because I have seen some good power levels with the SSV and TT. Not trying to say your wrong, just looking for opinions! Well..im not new to the forums..but i barely made an account lol. I must say though, I have learned tons through these forums. suggestions people!!!!

 

Also, about the Fcon being pricey..not the issue. Then again, Im not the one that wants to just spend countless money and be an idiot. Just looking for the best. Thats all

 

add a 3rd turbo to be super baller...

 

Just do a search on the forum for SSV. well know throughout the forums to be all show, no go. If you just want something that looks pretty go for it. If you want something that performs try anything that is NOT kinetix

 

Do a search and you might find a thread I posted. Took the SSV off and replaced it with an Crawford and gained 28 whp. That's how bad the intake was hurting my FI setup. Finally got the power I was missing.

 

I would add 3inch DP w/open wastegates. I love mine!!!!!

 

OP needs to get real. You ask for suggestions, get them, then question people?

Omly half way decent result out of that plenum was on a care in FL done by Perf Factory, other than that all others have been crap.

 

if money is not an issue, and you're looking for the best, then why not build the engine. seems worthwhile to me.

 

what whp are you at right now??

 

UR Pulleys is another questionable mod. I am switching from my UR pulleys to the Fluidamper crank pulley for long term reliability.

 

Drift, last time I checked I was a 260whp, but this was before JWT clutch/flywheel and greddy TT exhaust...that exhaust probably hurt me some though..so I cant say where my power level is at right now.

 

i agree with the money not being an issue thing...if its not go with a built motor. that way your twins can get some seirous power out of them

 

There is no need for a boost controller the FCON as well as the UTEC will control boost.

Don't forget the intercooler, 3" downpipes with wastegate relocation, Forged performance aluminum radiator shroud with HO cooling fans. Ditch the SSV and get the Cosworth assuming it ever materializes.

Well, I have decided...and I am going to ditch the SSV and look into some others that give me the best bang out of them. Thank you all for the advice and opionions. And jet, sorry, I forgot about that on the Fcon and Utec. But whats your opinion on buying the Fcon or the Utec. I know the Utec can get me to my goals(400-450whp) But in your own opinion or for everyone, is the Fcon really worth buying? At this point Im really Stuck on the Fcon...but I do lean towards the Utec.

 

In my opinion the FCON is beyond the point of diminidhing returns. Of course it is better, but the price you have to pay to get those gains is prohibitive for the kind of build your looking to do. Sharif will give you honest answers. These are only my opinions, Sharif would have more experience with both and could give you a better opinion on the capabilities of both. The UTEC is great for what it does at a reasonable price.

if you look around a bit, you can find a full f con system and everything you need with it (minus the evc) for around 3000. utec...800 easy

 

Well thank you all for the advice. As for the plenum, I will be going with a crawford
