Yeah sorting the handling out is my next priority however I do fancy one of the cdti airbox kits in the near future as well... So am I correct in saying having the 80mm outlet is pretty much useless until the car is up to stage 3 to accomodate the different voltage for the AFM? If so would it b best to grab the 70mm outlet one and then mod it if or when I get to stage 3?

Thanks for the advice mate

Your assumption is correct regarding the 80mm AFM. Before buying a CDTi box I'd wait until you get your EDS IPF and have a look at the available maps. The idea is that the car's hardware needs to align with the hardware requirement of the maps, eg an intercooler. Once you have a look at the maps you could talk over any issues or necessary upgrades with the your IPF seller.

Dutchy makes a good point about the clutch. The clutch in the Z20LER isn't as robust as the clutch in the VXR, so it may start to slip. However, another Z20LER owner on here is running an EDS Stage 2 map and I haven't read that they are having any clutch problems - I'm thinking Milesy. That said, my clutch started to slip so I upgraded.

Cheers for the info mate

Just paid the balance on my IPF unit a few minutes ago, so hopefully it will be shipped tomorrow and then a week or so until it arrives and I can check out the maps! However I may need your (and everybody else's!) help to work out what all the maps are ha ha

But for now I will look into a handling package! I checked out the Whiteline website and found all the bits you guys suggested, so will look into ordering them over the next few weeks

Talk to Greg (GSLRallysport - see his link under Forum sponsor) as he can supply Whiteline components. He is most helpful.

I think Mania may be running the same EDS Stage II software on his SriT.
Although he does have an LSD.
But he also has a Whiteline RARB and castor/camber kit and a set of OEM VXR springs I sold him.

He is in Perth so you may be able to check with him James.

Thanks Kabel will send him a PM and pick his brains ha ha

You guys are all so helpful, I wouldn't have a clue if it was not for all your info so many thanks!

If the kit takes an 80mm MAF, this isn't so much of a train smash as some others would make out. Mark (from Courtenay's) came up with a ripper of an idea. Place a section of 70mm hose over your existing 70mm MAF just to the edge of the plastic, and sleeve that into the 80mm kit hose, then clamp. This will allow you to have the kit prepared for the 80mm upgrade when you are ready, but make use of the CDTi Air Box in the now.

That said, I agree with what everyone else has mentioned. Handling and Clutch need to be the focus now. As with myself, I have the LSD, so that's part of handling done, but I need a RARB, castor/camber kits and an upgraded clutch, so I'll be doing the flywheel at the same time since the benefits in getting all the gearbox out of the way at the same time are significant (cost saving wise), then I can focus on the next stages.

I also have the boost controller, so I can ensure stage 1 gives me a decent amount of boost, that will hopfully hold (will probably still only use 1bar) to the end of the rev-range. When you flash without a controller, you may only find that it's set to 10PSI, for example, as some people may not want to run their maps right at the very leading edge of the acceptable perameters.
