Mods On Satria GTi

[TermiziYeoh]

Hey Guys , my dad just bought me a Satria GTi (Well at 1st going for B16A EG but reconsider it EG was kinda old car ) so thank god for it i got one . As im noob in car mod , need to know some infos from u guys .

First ,when I got the car , due to many of sifus suggesting better upgrade handling then performance first , so I went for those things :

- Koni with Eibach
- Steel braided hoses and brake pad
- Rims and Bridgestone Potenza

Need to know what kind of other mods that can upgrade the handling of the car ? Would installing STRUTBAR increase it ? Any suggestion ?

Second , the performance , I already went for :

- 4-2-1 Hotbits Extractor , 2.2" Rimus Muffler

Anything that can be done but not too heavily mod lah , just want to cruising around with some powers on it . Should I start with Open Pod Air Filter ? Where is the good shop to do this besides Speedworks ? Thinking of Apex'i brand . And after that mayb Safc ? Suggestion needed ! hehe

And I think last but not least , the alarm system . Currently running on standard alarm and steering lock , which brand do i have to go for if i want to change the whole set alarm , would VIPER cost me alot ? Where is the shop with goodworkmanship and good price ?

My GTi is Year 2000 , is it running on Siemens Or MMC ? <Ouhh God please let it run on MMC Ecu haha!>

Good upgrades!

Back then when I first got my GTi all I did was power and power, relying only on stock handling and semi-good tyres. Actually even now that is the case... since Im reverting back to stock suspensions...

Anyway, yes, installing a front strutbar greatly increases chassis rigidity. I felt it the moment I turned out from my house when I installed one. IMO rear ones arent necessary unless you want to go hardcore, and the car will also be less forgiving.

A very good air filter is the dual funnel Apexi, having excellent flow rate and being very clean. Thing is its non-washable, once it wears out (100,000kms or so) you'll have to replace it. Difference compared to standard airbox definately to be felt. Induction noise is lower compared to most others.

SAFC is good once you've done a few mods, but rechipping would be better.

Consider installing an ultralight flywheel also (PM me if youre interested. I know a man who has developed some really nice ones for 4G93Ps, those are not lightenned OEM ones).

Steel Piping ? What is the advantage of using steel piping bro ? coz ive seen ppl do ony with plastic pipe or some kind of soft material but not steel la . And does your package include heatshield ?

ok , after this will go for strutbar first , bro , how much is yours and where to get it ? and second wud be air filter . Since u have mentioned above about the Apexi dual funnel , how much u change it for whole set ? including heatshield rite ? if want to replace just replace the filter or whole set ? Sorry if my question sounds dumb :X-:

aiya...one friday go TT and everything also can explain ma... go to www.4gtuners.com

for the a/filter go for the apexi one.with a heat shield will better.

a piggy back would be good..like suggested above.

 

[TermiziYeoh]

Air filter Apexi with heatshield how much does it roughly cost yeah ? and strutbar ? how much ? And planning to go only one shop to do this . Any shop recommended ?

 

[Fluffy]

check out powerzone.
or i can suggest to u..picking up a malaysian car mag.there's a butt load of ads in there.

 

[TermiziYeoh]

Hurm , budget tight a bit so guys u recommend go for Voltage Stabilizer and Open Pod Air filter first or straight go to Safc2 ? Pening pening .....

 

[Fluffy]

the volt stab. plus the air filter is much cheaper than the SAFC2.

so if ur on a tight budget,go for the other 2.got money to burn?go for the safc2.

but i tell u 1st...the vol.stab doesnt give u hp gain.so if ur wantnig power...scratch that.go for the intake and exhaust.

but i would go for the safc right away.give u more detailed tuning.more over ur car is a GTi.and there's quite alot of hp to be squeezed out.

juz givin my oppinion... if i own a gti i wouldn do anythin cuz its alredy been tuned by the professionals n besides its alredy 1.8 we talking about here with mmc ecu... dont fire ar bro...
anyway if u still insist, i think k&n filter, 4 point ultra racing strut bar n 16inch with advan neova shoes would be good enuff... with atleast 1k u can get a good 2way alarm sys. happy modding. :regular_smile:
