Hey
Well I've decided to do a few things but haven't decided what order to do then in or if I even can.
1. I wanna buy an SAFC II to get the fuel right, but what I want to know is if I get one should I buy bigger injectors aswell or not, because I'm already running nearly 14 PSI of natural boost and on cold mornings and night it hits boost cut which isn't really fun. OR should I just go after market ECU full or piggy back instead if the SAFC II (the reason i want series II one is to match the RSM.)
2. Coilovers, because she drives abit like a boat
3. FMIC I'm running highflowed turbo wit BFI and exhaust

All in all I just want to know what you guys would do and in what order

Cheers Benny

FMIC is a must IMO and I would go an EMB and I wouldn't even both with a SAFC pending on how far you want to push it later on you may want to look at bigger injectors.

Coilovers well a set or springs and good shocks might give you want you want. Perhaps talk to Dave as he is in the industry and regularly posts helpfull information in the suspension section.

SAFC if your using basic mods upgrades. Exhaust, CAI and FMIC. Emanage blue is cheaper though... Id settle for that.

I agree with Damien, FMIC should be your next mod if your after performance. If comfort then suspension.

David there is no settling about it the EMB is a far superior unit to a SAFC and I personally wouldn't even waste my time with a SAFC even if I had to pay for for an EMB.

Fantastic for a piggy back ECU, provided you are running injectors within the limits of the factory ECU ie stock 380cc's or the slightly bigger supra 2jz 440cc's.

14psi on stock intercooler ??? yeah, might wanna change that. 12 on stock cooler is pushing it as thats when it usually starts to suffer from heat soak.

Are you running a boost controller ??? if so electronic or bleed valve ???

Also whats your budget and what are your future plans ??? Unless your planning to go single turbo and chase big numbers then getting a stand alone ECU is pretty much a waste of money but if you wanna keep it simple with your steel wheeled turbo's then an E-manage or SAFC-II will suffice.

I would go, Intercooler + SAFCII first and if you have the money get an electronic boost controller. Then coilovers.

Get the cooler first Benny to be on the safe side. Here's a GReddy one at an awesome price.

Also SAFCII and EMBs are going for similar prices second hand so just get the EMB.
