Im looking for a few upgrades (Tax money! yay!) for my 2000 V70R awd, I read the "stage 0" thread and it mentions plugs and wires, any suggestions? Whats the most bang for the buck? Im thining MSD here...

 

You have 5 coils one per cylinder. Not sure if MSD makes them yet.

 

...damn... well (providing brand or model names) what would be good to encompass stage 0?
Thnx Tech!

 

Plugs go for Bosch platunims.
Do you have an aftermarket boost gauge?
I would think about adding things like that before goign with an ECU upgrade.

 

I got a Defi boost gauge and a Wideband that I havent put in yet. Though, Id like a boost gauge that would match the stock green lights in the gauges... know what I mean? Does anyone make one? i can pick up the new plugs tonite. The +4 platinum or the regular ones? Suggestion for wires?

 

My Autometer gauges match my interior lights perfectly. I have the Phantom series gauges.

You can do a coilpack upgrade. Viva Performance sells something. Ignite REV Coil Pack Upgrade.

 

Ordered, NICE, thnx S70!
What can I do to get a little more power off the line?

 

NP

Well how much do you want to spend and what have you done already?

 

Thus far, EST intake, "clear" cat, TME exhaust, boost gauge (not really a mod, I know)
Im looking for more off the line power, I was quasi-racing an Integra Type-R and wasnt near as far ahead as Id like to have been lol

 

I would do a ECU upgrade next.
I always use the regular Bosch platinums. Some people have used the +4 but I haven't seen all that much feedack about them.

 

Get a downpipe. 3" mandrel bent.

Then get an ECU upgrade.

 

I was looking for a new downpipe, but all i can find in the ways of downpipe upgrades is people selling the Stock "R" one I already have... any suggestions?
Also, what kind of difference is the Coil On Plugs that I just purchased going to make, lol? Will it be noticable?

 

You will most likely have to go the custom route.

 

Oof... Custom always means "insane amt of $$" lol

 

LOL YUP!!!!

I will be in the same boat soon.

 

You can buy prefabbed downpipes. They aren't cheap but you can still buy them aftermarket.
