The kit upgrade cost me RM5k + shipping, with the vernier pulley(s), Set of Cam followers, Piper timing Belt and the cam kits. I bought directly from Piper cam dealer in UK, wouldnt wanna buy it here coz got stupid imitations.. Have to be careful.. No tax imposed on me , Yay..!!





I have also just ordered a custom made stainless steel 4-2-1 exhaust manifold from pugracing UK too, which should be here by end of this month (will post pictures here).. That should free up 10hp as the stock exhaust manifold is damn ugly and F8ckin restrictive.. I plan to dyno my car first next month to see the exact power, i guess it should be around 160hp 185Nm with the K&N filter + Brisk spark plugs + Torco SR5 5w50.. Next dyno would be with 4-2-1, then another dyno with 4-2-1 + the cam kit and final ECU tuning. I expect it to be around 190bhp and 215Nm torque. I will order a set of 45 DCOE Jenvey ITB's and Omex 600 ECU this mid year (have to save another rm10k), which will get roughly 220hp 235Nm perhaps. (maybe more fingers crossed!).. i plan to dyno and tune at GT auto, heard they are good tuners (if anyone has recommendation let me know)..
I will make a video of 0-100, 0-160 and 0-200 in each upgrade so that this test would be a 'benchmark' for others to follow.. Hopefully with this power upgrade, i could keep up with FD2's, dc5, VW gti, ah bengs eg6/ek9 type R, renault megane rs (thats a bit too optimistic) and other 200hp++ category cars.. Perhaps, it should be faster though as my 16v have weighted just 1100Kg, me only 67kg.. HAhaha..

.. other stuff i bought are just EBC yellowstuff brake pads and braided brake hose..
.. Ok ok, will keep u guys updated..
