[x24sevenbikerx]

Aiming for Stage 2+ , Basically with the car being on 80k+ id like to uprgrade everything i can so when time comes to remap nothing will be overstrained etc etc.

Right now, (i have either fitted or ordered or sitting at home waiting to go on)

Forge Cold Side DV Re-location Kit
Forge Alloy Boost Pipe
Forge 008 DV w/ Yellow Spring
80mm Badger 5 TIP
Heatshield
Jetex Cone Filter
Cold Air Intake(From Fog)
THS Performace Mounts (Gearbox/Engine/Dog Bone)
3" Turbo Back Exhaust system
200 Cell Hi-Flow Cat

Stuff i think i still need

Forge Front Mounted Inter Cooler

Basically i would like to know people who have went into stage 2 have thought dam i wish i had also got 'insert item here'

my main concern is internal engine parts , cams rods etc , i have no idea what to look for in them and such items as them , any directions on anything would be great cheers

mainly the concern for this thread , but what else could i get done to save me time and money while the rods are getting done?

after looking at some threads i did panic and like o **** rods can snap on standard LCR haha , anyway i no nothing on what ones to get looked at IE's page and didnt know which was which :/

the big questions is how much do you want to spend? If your just looking for stage 2 I would do just the rods with bearings etc. If it's an LCR is "should" have 144x20 rods 20mm wrist pin.

well im guessing stage 2 is the highest i could go with the standard KO4 turbo correct? as im def not looking to change that however if i can get more out of the engine itself by adding better parts in there without fecking up other things i would

from what i have gathered from reading on here you will only need rods and bearings as the pistons are already uprated? im sure someone will correct me if not. what are your handling mods like? as it would be silly to have all that stage 2 power and not get it down!!.... im thinking more along the lines of polybush front wishbones/ dogbone mount etc

Rods, brakes, ARB's to name a few

only thing i have atm to go on handling wise is the uprated THS dogbone mount , and im looking to get the whole polybush thing done at some point haha
