modifying a ct26 (7m) to suit 3t help

[rke_011]

pretty much stock.
usuall tight ass shit..
exaust, small cooler at the moment got a bigger one now.
nothing really to add to performance.. got a dual stage boost controller but when it was dynoed i was told not to run any more boost coz its not getting enough fuel.

pretty much it is my daily driver so i couldnt take it off the road for work, but now im looking for a cheap wagon to drive around and just get a little more go from it.

im guessing the best upgrades for now and for my budget would be
-turbo
-ecu
-fuel pump/regulator
-injectors

i cant afford forgies so really all i can do is external stuff..
any ideas on how to get power without the cost of forgies feel free to let me know..

first thing i would recommend is upgrade your ECU before you move on to other upgrades.. a piggy back if you are in tight budget or a full stand alone management.

doubt you'll get far with $2k...

you'll need managament, piping, exhaust, mods to make the turbo fit, air filter, silicon joiners, injectors (pending how far you want to go) plus the standard stuff you should change, plugs, leads etc.

not to mention any seals/broken/almost broken parts...

you'll be squeezing that stack of cash pretty tightly.

dude,

if your changing the turb's then I'd suggest going the simple changes first.
Exhaust, Air Pod, FMIC & piping, blow off valve.... only thing I'd be worried about with the std computer is hitting boost cut, cause the 3t ECU / AFM are a very old system. They are fairly crude. Do all the simple things first and with what money you have left over put it towards saving for a good fuel system (Computer, injectors, pumps, Rising rate FPR).

and don't try to increase the boost. Just leave it until you can get the good fuel system.
once the good fuel system is in you can tune it and boost it and will probably find with the increased power you'll also get better fuel economy (3t std computers are pretty crap).

im not to concerned with the fitting cost of most of it..
i know people who will do cheaply, its more of me not knowing what else should me modified to make it run well..

i figured ecu, and fuel system..

im really only aiming to get anything over 100rwkw.

at the moment it only has 88..... so im sure you can all feel my pain..

ohh yeah, forgot to say, i wont need to bother about the zorst.. just a dump.. got 3" on it and already has a pod filter..
