hello guys


i would need some help on some stuff

i am planning on buying

1. Bov ---- need to know which one would be good for placing near the turbo. the one i have now is a sard racing bov , its not working anymore ... so yea need a change


2. coil overs -- not too expensive and mostly not too hard... for somereason i do not want TEIN... looking more at Apexi

3. exhaust temp , water temp , oil temp gauges --- need good quality kit... no preffered brand, but need suggestion on something that is reliable


4. wide band o2--- maybe innovate or zeitronix.. what do you people suggest ??

 

It all depends on what your budget is. Why would you be placing the BOV closer to the turbo as opposed to the TB?

There's nothing wrong with Tein. I've been running them for 6+ years and they're good to go.

I use Defi and Innovate for the last pair and they work fine.

Lastly, which is obvious...search!

 

Why do you have a problem with tein coils? Secondly why the hell do you prefer Apexi coils? I have never once heard anything special about them...Everybody I have seen with tein flex's love them. I am very happy with my JIC's. A lot of good things have been said about the ground control coilovers, especially for the price.

As for a bov, brand really isnt that important. I would try to find one that has the same mounting style as the one currently in the car so you dont have to get a new bung welded in.

As long as the gauges you buy arent some no name cheapo ebay POS the quality will be fine. I would try to narrow it down by price range first, then choose which brand has the look you want. IE. electronic, manual, digital, HI/LO recall, Warning features?

 

I have the Innovate LC1, I have used it for about a year with no problems. It is run through my dataloggit and works great. I have a greddy BOV it works as good as any other I have tried. I have the Tein Flex Mono coilovers but not enough seat time to give an opinion. There is a lot of debate over the Apexi coilovers. They are made by the same company that makes Maegan coilovers, although some say the internals are different. Read Howard Coleman's suspension setup for the FD. This guy has forgotten more about suspension than I will ever know.

 

hmm guys its nothing with the tein's i mean i want something that would be between super street and mono flex, i drove my friends evo with mono flex and trust me i didnt feel that great.. yes it is stiff and awesome for twist's and turns.. but if there is a slight bump on the road it tends to hop over it so yea it kind of felt risky to me nothing else...

i am not quite sure the FLEX you guys are talking about is it the same as MONO FLEX...

for the bov. i am thinking should a get a greedy hard pipe kit ??? and then install or should i just replace it.. i mean money here is not the fact but i need something that would be worth buying and would last me. i dont want to go around buying cheap stuff.

yes i have used lc1 on my toyota trueno 4age 20v that is good... but the zeitronix software and module seemed to be much impressive.. well if you take the price then the zeitronix cannot be compared with the lc1

but for now main thing i have to get sorted is the coil overs

TEIN--???

 

I'm a big fan of Defi gauges, Techedge WBo2, and Tanabe coilovers

 

The Tein Mono Flex and Type Flex are different. The Mono Flex comes with higher spring rates as it's more geared for the track. The Type Flex are an ideal coilover for the causal street/track car. If you add the EDFC to it, you can adjust the dampers from the comfort of your driver's seat on the fly.

 

I've used innovate wb. It does a good job. I have an issue with it outputting the right numbers to my datalogit but the devil is in the details.

 

Tons of info on all these subjects, do a bit of searching and you'll have all your questions answered

 

thanks guys ..
