20VT tuning advice - 30/05/2022 16:09
Hey all,
I'm looking to make anywhere between 400-500 hp with my 20VT somewhere in the distant future and have been making a small list of what I will possibly need to work towards and am now wondering if I am missing anything and what are some reasonable choices between e.g. turbos etc. This is my first coupe and first time getting into modding so forgive my ignorance.
Here's what I've got so far from the short time I've spent going through the forums:
-wössner forged pistons + forged rods
-garrett gtx3076r .63 A/R or gtx3071r .82 A/R?
-custom 3 inch downpipe & exhaust (+ custom exhaust manifold for T3 turbo?)
-pro alloy intercooler (+ cold air intake?)
-siemens 630cc injectors
-walbro 255LPH GSS340 fuel pump
-helix organic clutch or paddle clutch?
-uprated brakes
Also would love to hear about any experiences good and bad with certain manufacturers e.g. gazzella racing, hayward and scott, pro alloy etc.
I've also heard mixed opinions on whether a standalone ecu is necessary for running larger injectors or not, if it is possible I would rather stick with the oem ecu but would like some clarification on this as well.
Any advice is appreciated
