hi

i posted a thread last week asking what mods i can do to my 2000 magna. You said exhaust and air intake. ive done those mods and would like to know what else i can do. Fuel Pressure reg? any ideas?

cheers phil

well i suppose it depends on how far u wana go, i mean extractors (and Cold Air Intake if you dont have it) would be the next best thing, are you planning on getting a piggy back computer? IF you are then the fuel pressure regulator is not really of any use
this is what i have done and i am above 140kw atw
Lukey Muffler
Ram Pod Air Filter
70mm Oversized Throttle Body
Pacemaker Extractors
Greddy Engine Management System

Thats the way i went and i think its a good way to start, after that head work and cams would also be good

70mm Oversized Throttle Body

Finally got it fitted, hey? Was gonna ask that this week. Did you get it retuned for it?

I'd look at the list that mr_mbquart and follow it. There's other things like increased compression ration and forced induction but that's getting pretty extreme. I'd say your next step would be a set of tuned length headers. But it's no use getting one set of headers if you're going to add boost from a turbo in 4 months time. Have a think about your aims and then find out what will help to achieve the desired result.

D'oh!

Oops. Oh well, someone can benefit from your blunder then :)

Unless you supercharge.

I have been thinking of an Eaton M90 and going the super .... just to be different :) . Has anybody supercharged a magna?

Capa has kits for Eaton M-62 / M-90. Thing is they're not for a Magna so would need to be modified. I think they're for a Pajero or Triton.

Yeah Redav got the 70mm throttle body fitted and I am really impressed by it, the difference in throttle responce is profound. I have not got the idle reset, I will when i have the time but the idle isnt as bad as what i expected, not really that rough at all. Still I have to get my other problem fixed before I can really test my car out because that problem is influencing performance.

The problem being? Is that the car shuddering?

this was all discussed recently..
anyway i looked into s/c using eaton m90, that unit alone is 2'900$ and there is nowhere to mount it on the belt side, so a custom drive system would need to be made up.. a workshop here that specialises in custon s/c jobs said around 10'000$ all up. i think you would get a a turbo setup with internal mods to handle more boost as well for that amount.
