Hi
I know there are lots of threads relating to this subject which I have read with great interest and at one point was booked in for the jcw 225 upgrade but could not get it done at that time so now I'm on the trail again with more knowlage but still confused ie
jcw use modified s/c as opposed to smaller pulley milltek exhaust would seem to be the best GTT intercooler and cold air ram is always up there m7 throttle body bluefin and so on and on and on.
Has anyone got the answer to the best way to go?
Thanks Dave

All the bhp kits out there follow the same sort of idea just depends how much bhp
the kit wants to achieve. so all you need to do is buy the items that are in the kits and
over time you'l have you own performance kit:

Smaller pulley (15%, 17%) - would go with GTT or Alta
A CAI - iv got the Alta which is very good but the GTT one is excellent too!
A Manifold/Header - GTT all the way!
Intercooler - GTT, GRS or the new M7 one!
Exhaust - Milltek
Spark Plugs - anyone, does'nt matter so much
Injectors - JCW

Thats the sort of mods for the lower 200bhp mark, you can add other more serious
stuff to get more bhp:

Cylinder head - GTT stage 1-3
Modified S/C - M7
Cams GTT - lohen will supply good ones.
TB - GTT or lohen
etc etc

All you need to decide is what products your happy to put on your car with
confidence! Iv got a few GTT items and they are excellent, iv also got Alta
Tuning items and they are also of a high quality.

Is'nt it wise to upgrade the clutch and brakes with that kind of performance?

dangerousedave · Aug 12th, 2006, 04:19 PM

Yes you are right about that. I have upgraded the brakes and a lightened flywheel and clutch are Oslo on the hit list
Thanks

You should check for sale Pardonator has jcw seats for sale black& lapis blue, but I bet you know this already, don't know how to include the thread or I would. Perhaps someone can tell me for the future

Dave: When you're in the thread, look into your address bar at the top (http:// ...), highlight the whole address (click and drag across it so it changes colour), and right click and select COPY.

Now go back into this thread, and when you're typing a reply as usual, right click and select PASTE where you want the thread link to be.

Thanks for that Mark
I though there would have been more input to this thread as it is a subject close to all our hearts

Hi guys,JCW use smaller SC pulley same as everybody else. Are they saying they dont or is ' a modified SC' just a more impressive way of saying 'its a stock SC with a smaller pulley?
Are they doing something else aswell as the smaller pulley on the 225 kit? For example blanking off the small triangular outlet ports, or CNC milling out the inlet or outlet ports? Ask for a detailed explanation of 'in what way ,and to what extent ' is it modified.
Best Regards Roland GTT
