@Viky, me to think the spoiler is up side down.

You can get the enlargement done and see if you like it, or not than go in for a FPR, get the adjustable FPR with a pressure gauge, so you can fiddle in the limits of your fuel system, stock system runs at around 35-42 PSI, you can safely go up to 55 PSI or a bit above.
Since you are running a FFE and a Air filter you are anyways going to be on a leaner side, with the throttle body enlarged the airflow will be increased and the engine will lean out further.So idle may be affected as well as the at high rpm the engine may lean out quit a bit and start heating.
BY the way what make tyres are you running, I am thinking of getting a set on My esteem.

Hi there,
i had a good discussion with Viper and now have decided on a complete tune-up ( as it is overdue) and P&P job with throttle body enlargement.
then if needed FPR and may be will get a PIPER CAM street spec.

I am running YOKOs 195/50/R15 tyres

cheers

I was so interested in the Wheels and Tyre mods did not see the whole pic. A-drives rights.

That will reduce the top speed and also affect the fuel efficiency even at around 80-100kmph speeds. Please sort it out.
If you go for a Cam Upgrade you will need a FPR for sure.but you efficiency will drop further with a CAM change.

yes they are A-drives . Initially i had S-drive. the yoko are excellent tyres.
A-drives are a bit softer than S-drive which are more performance oriented.

will do the spoiler change right away i dindt realise that it would affcet FE at 80KMPH also.
thanks
cheers

Absolutely incorrect.
Who told you so?

I did not get the A-drive beginning softer. Do you mean they are stickier or just better at comfort than handling? cause S-drives are better any day for handling compared to A-drives.

Ya S-drives are better at handling but A-rives are tad more on comfort than handling. As i have upsized from R13 to R15 i opted for A-drive this time and S-drive were on short supply.

how are Goodyear F1 Eagles against S/A-drive?

cheers

From a good friend's experience,and this guys know his stuff, apparently Good year F1s, are not that great compared to Yokos, as they become hard after some use. I have never used them, but others may have first hand experience.

"Mods please rename this thread as
Esteem Stage 2 Phase-one Complete"

Fellow members finally my esteem has completed its stage-2 modds.
heres the list uptill now.

Custom 4-2-1 FFE setup custom made from Viper
K&N Filter
Complete Port and Polish job( +Intake manifold )
Throttle body Expansion
Exedy Clutch
Mobil-1 5W50 full Synthetic oil
Art-leather upholstery and door trims
Self retrofitted FXR bi-xenon projectors
Tri-phase unit.
Yokohoma 185-60-R13 tyres.
NGK Iridium Plugs

Modds coming in next month
MSD ignition coil and cables (8.5mm)
Piper cam street spec
REMAP

The car has totally undergone a character change.
The rpm needle justs zooms all the way to redline

the car is very silent untill 2000rpm and then it justs roars to life.
the exhaust tone is sweet. Good bassy roaring noto no phhhrrrr just vroooom vrooom vrooom....

Unfortunately couldnt get the car to KS for a dyno. got stuck two times in the infamous mumbai traffic....

Will definitely do it next time when i get the piper cam and remap.

while coming for mumabi to nashik hit a top speed of 170kmph.
The car easily overtake the likes of stock swift and honda citys; even at high speed of 150kmph.


thanks a tonn to Viper(Jignesh bhai) for doing a great job.
His entire dealing was very transparent and satisfactory.
I was a bit hesitant on the P&P job but it was worth it.

got to see the whole process myself

will post 30-80(3rd gear) and 40-100 4th gear timmings very soon.
taking a average of 5 readings overall.

the car has been driven 500km after the mods.

cheers
happy reving....

[kutlee]

good to see someone doing a planned mod...that too bit fast. how about some videos. Does a remap + triphase work well together? i don't know. no suspension job?

Hi, which profile cam are u going for BP270/285/300. Are you planning to change your cam sprocket and the crank pulley as well. Which ECU are you going in for :- A piggyback or RD 0901 Standalone ECU.
If you have put a stage 1 Exedy kit why not plonk a fidanza flywheel as well.

Triphase becomes irrelevant if you go for a remap or standalone. Might as well just change the IAT-Fuel correction tables in the ECU with whatever you want, rather than fooling the ECU by giving it fake readings.
