Recently fitted rev3 billies, handles very nicely, will be getting new tyres before I try to add power!- Rev 3 engine management - ECU - Fueling. Metal head gasket, CT20b if you're not happy with the hybrid CT26. After market ECU would be better than a Rev 3 for tuning. Bigger injectors etc AFR meter...Plenty left Also Rev 3's were more prone to cracking your engine block on bigger power builds due to a thinner cylinder wall.nathan.z wrote:Also Rev 3's were more prone to cracking your engine block on bigger power builds due to a thinner cylinder wall.
Luck of the draw. Rev 3 turbo blocks seem to go between 1 & 2 cylinder.
Running bolt on mods in addition.@ 1.2 bar on Apexi Power FC. So you're not coverting to rev3 wiring etc? Which would be more cost effective? I'm only after the 300bhp mark, I havnt got any plans to go further than that yet... is selling. It's also self learning and has a built in map sensor so you can get rid of the AFM. Once that is done you can almost do what you want with the turbo, fueling, ecu etc.£1k pistons even on stock boost, but you will loose low end torque. pistons required if you want to run more boost on pump gas. But to be honest I'm running on wiseco pistons (9.0:1 I think) on 98 gas with no problems. Of course car is mapped accordingly on Adaptronic ecu 
The biggest limiting factor is the ECU and turbo for running higher boost as by default the ECU will flood the engine with more fuel and the CT26 runs out of puff. This has been the advice given to me from a reputable affiliate. 
Whether your going with Motec, Vipec, Link, AEM, Hydra, ECUMaster or Megasquirt....they all provide the basics out of the box. Some provide further gadgets for extra money others include functions at no extra cost.
