More power!

[Cambridge_pulsar]

OK I need more power, have already got induction kit, exhaust, dump valve and front mount intercooler. Am looking at boost controller (apex-i), uprated fuel pump (any suggestions?), and new plugs. Have I overlooked anything (other than clutch) and does it need to be set up on a rolling road or just 'bolted' on? Any help owuld be great.

For the fuel pump, the Walbro is a favourite

It's pretty much plug and play, but only to about 1 bar, beyond that you should really start looking at some kind of fuel controller, which will mean a set-up.

I've got the avcr,

In hindsight i wish i'd got a profec b Havn't heard a bad word from anyone whos got one.

 

[Cambridge_pulsar]

cheers, think 1bar or just over should be enough, don't wanna go too far, how much is the profec b? haven't heard of it, is it just a boost controller?

 

[Keira]

Think its cheaper than the avcr, Its probably the best boost controller you can get, never heard a bad word about it in previous posts or from people who've got one.

The avcr may look nice 8) but from what i can gather the profec does the job better.

Just do a search. 8)

I've got the same spec as you mate. I've been looking on www.rcdevelopments.com and www.norrisdesigns.com

Have had really good service from ND and have heard good things about RC. I would really like around 330bhp which I think will require me to run around 1.4bar. Would settle for 1bar of boost and hope for 285bhp thou. ND have just had a new rolling road installed, reckon it'd be well worth having the fueling/timing checked after uping the boost

OK thanx guys, will check out the profec b and take it from there

m8, as far as i can see, a boost controller, is a boost controller, just get the one that you like the look of the most, a lot of peeps run 1 bar on a bleed valve(although i wouldnt personally)also, i wouldnt have a boost controller without a (digital) display,or a decent aftermarket boost gauge, just so you can keep an eye on whats going on

Two very sound, reasonably cheap bits of advice
