First off;

Change spark plugs and leads, fuel filter and O2 sensor.

Then;

CAI, Boxed POD, UAS Pipe, Mandrel bent exhaust, extractors, manual conversion.

Then;

Piggy back ECU.

If you win tattslotto;

You're losing 25bhp from your 18s x 9.5" wide rotas..

change to 16s buddyclub P1, and you'll notice an immediate response on power increase.

The best thing would be to save your money and change out the engine to as said 6A13tt or a 4G63t .
The cost to get good power from our engines is high.

So your saying if I drop 2inch I'll gain 25hp?

Thinking about ripping out my back seats.

I wish I could afford a turbo upgrade cause I don't really wanna part with my fto cause I spent so much on it

Rota's arn't actually very heavy so no, i doubt it. If you had chromies, then yes.

Save your pennies & 6A13

4g63t would be better in the long run - but yes definitely a bit more exxy and harder.
Fingers crossed in a year ill have a write up on how and whats involved exactly on a 4g conversion, so start saving pennies like me!

Are there many after market parts for 6a13t?

Only reason I would go with 4g63t is because of more after market parts :)

You do realize you're looking at thousands of dollars and time if you do a conversion?
