can't go to the Dyno with these mods, a problem?¿

Hi everyone,

i just bought all these mods to my r53::
1.pulley 15%
2.JCW intake
3.Spark plugs
4.Alta Intercooler
5.A new Cam
6.Alta headers and 2.5 exhaust, around 1500$( are there better exhausts?)
7.JCW 380cc injectors

How many HP will gain with these mods? and i have a problem that i can't go to the dyno because here nobody haven't,and i live in an Island, is that a problem if i buy all that mods and not reflash the ECU?

thanks

With those mods I would highly recommend you have the car tuned to get optimal results.

No problem, the car will work fine but not perfect.

I think you need JCW map duo to JCW injectors. You can get it from the dealer

A dyno tune is best but I ran mine with simular mods and the JCW flash for awhile, it ran pretty good too. The JCW flash will compensate for the larger injectors.

No dealer there? ..... You can't get the JCW map anywhere else... Might have to look at one of those canned tunes.....

This is supposed to be better in terms of tuning than running a unichip.
Good luck with the tune.

Check out the one above i posted, this is along the lines of what you want to do, it works with your laptop and you can fine tune the ecu to work with your mods, closer to a tune than the unichip piggyback for sure.
If a tune isn't available to you.... this will probably get you the closest results..

I just said Unichip because there isn't another solution. No JCW flash no tuner

From what I've read this is more fine tunable than a unichip.
