Hi Everyone, i have a 96 Glanza with only basic mods which include ...... 5zigen cat back system, Blitz Sonic Power induction kit, Blitz ss bov, hi/lo boost solenoid bypassed, apexi boost gauge. Although its running like a dream and reliable i would like it to be faster so if anyone can give me some sensible advice on my next mod/s that would be great !!? :drive:

yes mate ive heard they are good mods but just wondering if it would hit fuel cut with those mods ?? plus i have air-con so how much of a bitch would it be to remove old manifold and fit new one ?

if you want a good power upgrade without the pains of boost creep, fmic is ure next move mate, gives a decent power hike for sure, ide recomend a hdi, thas gonna be my next move and ive pretty much got same setup as you atm mate, except i got a decat too.

problems with boost creep seem to vary from car to car, but its likely to happen when u improve the breathing

hmm removing the manifold is a bitch but not rly hard..get a decent decat downpipe, a FMIC and a mani, them do a nice induction for the turbo to breathe..then get a nice decent management (emanage or better) to achieve 200bhp-ish

Fuelling is important when the boost is being raised.
The uprated manifold is mostly important because it's very restrictive and causes problems with higher boost.
I would go for the manifold/decat/FMIC first, after that increasing boost and fueling :) with the CT9. If that isn't enough :p you can change turbo to a hybrid or TD04 for example with additional mods to keep your engine in good condition.

lol sorry mate thas my bad, hdi intercooler, just a front mount intercooler.


if ure not sure what order u wanna do things, just browse the forum for a while, dont rush into anything, u ent gotta ask questions, everyone else asks the questions, u can just learn lol, make sure YOU know what u want mate!

and dont forget brakes when ure upping power, often over looked, helps the car to be faster aswell..and safer

Changing the decat is easier and shorter in time to do then the manifold.
Manifold requires to take off the turbo too. Decat is just the original cat that needs to be removed before fitting the decat :)
