So i want to by a Mk4

[aimre]

Hi,

I recently sold my civic turbo and was looking at buying a GTi, basicly i was a euro car thats still quick.
Had a quick look around the site, seeing what peoples mods are.

I was thinking of Doing the exhaust, chipping it,FMIC and getting a EBC and upping the boost.

I read thats its and expensive mod getting a FMIC in. Any reason this is?

I was wanting ATLEAST 160kw atw as this is what the civic was capable of. Is this easy attained with these cars?

quick answer is no you will need to upgrade the turbo to get any where near 160kw atw, even with a std chipped gti you will only see max 125kw atw if your lucky, its a lot more $$$ to get power out of a euro car.

Civic turbo ? Since when Honda made a turbocharged civic ?

Get a GTI, put a GIAC map on it, and then we'll talk. you don't need any of that other shiznit you mentioned, it is that good.

You don't know probably, but you drive torque and not KW, the GTI will have over 300Nm after chipping, that is ALOT for a 1200 Kg car.

Good luck kid.

That sort of power/torque to the wheels is pointless unless you get it to the ground as well.

how good is the drive on the GTi's or do you need to start looking at upgraded diffs as well?

Get Adrian to take you for a spin in his GTI. 220fwkw will put a smile on your face. Or Get Neil to take you for a spin in his. Hes just chipped it and put a TIP in it.

No point of an EBC if you have it chipped - Boost will sit at ~20pounds and you won't be able to increase it much further. (Larger tuners can have different programs installed on your ECU for you switch between though - ie, stock, valet, chipped, race fuel)

You can get a $100 cooler and dodge it up, but to get a thin cooler with decent flow/pressure drop you'll have to pay more.

For 160ish kw you'll want to bolt on a Ko4 (~150kw) (Same size turbo, larger compressor wheel so its a straight swap)
