Well i am upgrading my car for the next tail of the dragon annual meet which was fantastic i might add, so i started to compile a list of future upgrades any suggestions i would love

First (not really rb related) i am doing my rear z32 brake setup. on the dragon i saw all four brakes smoking so definately going to dot4 and ceramic pads.

Second i am doing all my fuel lines in an6, with a an6 inline fuel filter instead of the z32 on, its a lot cleaned this way also. i was looking at a 30micron filter any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Third I am redoing my entire enginre harness and going to make it nice, this is my largest headache since sourcing a series 2 complete engine harness is very costly... going to tuck most of the harness, and
eliminate most of the crap i dont need since i am running a stand alone, i also havent been running my vct which i want to do.

Fourth, i am redoing all my vacuum lines with high temp silicone lines, so i dont have to worry about rotting or collapsing..

Fifth i am doing a crankcase evac kit, Toad8xu informed me about this and it looks to be a surefire winner. what i am going to do is use the http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-120108/ kit, and use braided an10 to a y fitting, and use the fitting welded into my exhasut. my only concern with this is should i retain my pcv or do i eliminate it ? if any one is wondering what crankcase evac does, it uses the pressure from your exhaust to suck out crankcase vapors from the valve covers, it also makes vacuum in the block which increases ringseal and a couple other good things. but this kit includes 1way check valves that stops the exhaust back pressure from popping my motor. they say dont use this with a street muffled car, but as long as you have those check valves and you place this beyond any of your sensors you will be ok. it will mainly work at wot which is when you need it the most.

Sixth i am going to be making a flexpipe in my exhaust so i dont crack my downpipe and be wrapping up my dump pipe in fiberglass

seventh i am goint to retune my car for the meth i have been running. i looked at datalogs it makes me get upto a entire point lower in my afr lol. with this i will increase my boost to around 25psi and hold on for dear life.

if anyone is wondering about my mods just do a search for rb middlesex meet or my other various bs postings on the forums haha, any comments or concerns let me know !!!
