Clutch, upgraded Csc and oil cooler. Bam your done

Some supporting mods can be a must and some can be held out on but be ready.

Spark Plugs: It was said it can run on stock plugs. But one step colder is your best bet. Helps reduce temps which aids with pre detonation. $160-$180.

Clutch: The kit can push some good number and pending that along with how many miles are on the car now and you have treated so far. The stock can handle a good bit. In due time the day will come. So with a clutch and HD CSC about $1200-$2000.

Oil Cooler: Should already have one if not get it. 34R $700

Others can be radiator, shroud, fans, boost controller, and A/F gauge. Just depends on how serious, how much, and how hard you going to drive. And if you don't already have a good exhaust.

Thanks...looks like I am in decent shape. Subconsciously I've been choosing what seems to be the items needed for boost..

I would add a wideband O2 in there somewhere.

What the heck are these spark plugs that cost up to $180??

HKS one step colder and NGK plugs that are also one step colder. HKS has the advantage. They help reduce temps which helps with pre detonation. Also has something to do with timing.

Would Gtm have them on their web page and is there a specific name for them or just "HKS One Step Closer"? I already placed my MHI kit order

but i would feel safer if i upgraded the spark plugs aswell.??

Thank you. I've been using colder plugs over the years for other FI applications but those have usually been $1-$2 a piece. Just blown away at the price of Z plugs and just wondering if it's necessary to change since they're already in the colder 8 range for a stock (non FI) motor to begin with.

Yea I'm not sure what are plugs are. But the stock plugs still can be ran with this kit. I believe the HKS plugs are GTR plugs also.

Dzel · 04-26-2013, 01:02 AM

Yup you can run the stock gtr plus

Dzel · 04-26-2013, 07:17 AM

Which would be better to run? I would assume external?
