Nice one; love the gauges.

Why not stick a turbo on instead of getting the extractors? Prolly wouldn't cost a lot more...

Thinking here... where abouts is your PCV valve?

Here?

If so, your catch can and your intake are effectively one space. It will be at the same pressure as your intake. Its not as bad as having this setup on a turbo car tho (boost in a catch can wouldn't be good...) but still not good. If your catch can is vented this will be an intake leak, and your car will be over fueling.

Perhaps the PCV valve should be swapped to the other side of the catch can?

I reckon it already looks pretty good at the front; all four studs on the wheel are above the bottom of the sill. I'd only drop the bum 2.5" or so.

I'd spend my bucks on stiffer dampers for the back and sway bars and bushings all round...

thank you kimmo, photoglossy and shanec for ur warm welcome.

i`d like to stick with N/A setup because this is my daily car, the traffic is terrible here, i think turbo will cause me high fuel consumption. And EFI E15 is more rare than E15 turbo.:p BTW thank you kimmo for ur advice. :) U mean the rear sway bars, kimmo?

The PCV valve use different size of hose on both end that make the swap a lil tricky. But i think it is a better setup compare to mine, i`ll try on that :)

Now the suspension still stock and almost reach the end of their life. It will need to replace soon, so i was think to upgrade to some adjustable shocks for more sporty ride. :p

The fuel economy with the turbo is actually pretty good; since these cars weigh stuff-all, and you're starting with a 1.5l... even at 15PSI that's only like a 3l.

Even thrashing it everywhere, I used to get at least 400km from a tank... that was on 9PSI.

You should already have one on the front, but I reckon you'll want new fat ones at both ends.

But I'm not the guy to ask... ask this dude.
