Planned Mods

What do you guys think.

ITG Maxogen (I have a ITG panel filter at mo)

Group N ECU/ReFlash

Blueflame sports cat and cat back system.

Any other suggestions or will that lot work well together, what sort of increases/performance may i be looking at?.

Thanks.

fair enough me thinks

want your blueflame anytime soon? group buy at the mo saving £100 on the cat back alone... sports cat wont give as much gains as a de-cat and a de-cat is easy to swap on and off on the 182 plus its a lot cheaper than a sports cat.

groupbuy closes tomorrow.

I am not sure about the de-cat, i really wanted to stay on the legal side of things and also not have the hassle of the emissions light coming on.

 

[rory182]

emissions light might come on with a sports cat, 100 cell almost certainly will, 200 cell theres a reasonable chance it wont.

blueflame 182 system £231
blueflame 182 Sports cat (choice of 100 or 200 cell) £206.50

until tomorrow 5pm

sports cats are a great idea, mine still flies the emissions, yet gives me the noise and 'sporty' feel of a de-cat, yet still retains some torque, planned mods sound great, i'd seriously consider a coilover set up as well though, to put that power through the twisties

 

[Mark5290]

What you trying to say about the 182 cup packs Middo - lol.

Seriously though i would like a good coilover setup, turini's, 4 pot brake kit, but that's for another time.

ive got a sports cat and my light is on,

 

[Mark5290]

What cell rating?.

 

[Mark5290]

About the Group N ECU - would it be a better idea to get a replacement Group N ECU so i can swap over between the original if i need to, if so who does replacement ECU's?.

Keep the panel filter, Maxogen won't buy you any bhp what so ever, on the contrary will probably loose some torque too.

-S/S Catback = +3-5bhp
-Sports cat = +3bhp
-Group N = +5bhp
-Inlet matching = +5-10bhp

Bang for buck id get the panel filter fitted, i'd then get the exhaust done, then get the inlet matched, then i'd get it remapped. Should be looking at a healthy 190-195bhp at the fly i'd say. Providing of course your 182 is a 'good' one and isn't down on power to start with.

 

[Ricardinho]

What cell rating?.

no idea I didnt buy it but it was from ktec, supposed to be the same as the janspeed one?

 

[The Hoff]

200 cell afaik.

 

[Mark5290]

Anyone got a BMC CDA induction kit, what are they like?.

 

[The Hoff]

As i said, if you want to lose bhp/torque then get yourself an IK, very rare that you will see any benefit from an IK. Depends if your after power, or whether you want the IK sound. Personally i'd be keeping your ITG panel.
