Modifying my sapphire 4x4
 

Hello,

I'm from belgium and I've just rewarded myself with a original Sierra cosworth 4x4.

Now I want to modify it!!!!!!

What should I do first? I was thinking about a mongoose exhaust?

Somebody some other suggestions?

Hi!
nice reward mate!
Basically, you have an ocean of mods in front of you :DD:
A mongoose exhaust and a cone airfilter would be a good start! bearing in mind that it's totally standard!

Cone airfilter
 

That's what I had in mind. I don't know really much about cars. Only what I see on the internet or in fast/performance ford! And that it isn't cheap!
What type of airfilter do you prefer? K&N?

modifying my sapphire 4x4
 

Yes,
K&N would be a good! altough all aftermarket airfilters have good quality.
I use K&N on my cossie. Is it standard? if no you can make a power upgrade too! you can make a stage 1 chip on the standard injectors with no more fuel required. Would be good idea if you if you change the wastegate actuator for a -31 and then raise up the boost to :DD: ......... let's say, 1 bar(14.7psi) 18 psi maximun.

Phone Stu at MSD and buy one of his stage 3 upgrades - you won't be disappointed!

As above straight to stage 3 MSD 's chips rock. :banana:

first thing I would do is get some big brakes on the car 330mm or larger if budget can cope as every one over looks this should always be the first mod on a sapp 4x4

Thx! I'm gonna order a mongoose exhaust in a few weeks and a k&n airfilter. But I'll better take a bigger one, cus I want a little more power next year! Brakes come together with more power! :D

Yes you wont reget going stg3 IE Chip (form stu) Dark Greens 803's injectors 3 bar map sencor you can run the T3 on that set up but not sure how long it will last (should see 300/330bhp) best going for a T34 tho and a big intercooler (rs500 style) ;) should see a good 350bhp (maybe a little more ;) )

Stu's got a Ebay shop :top:

Happy shopping :DD: :cry: :top:

i have been running mine on a similar NMS setup for nearly 2 years and the turbo still runs fine

how about he gets expeience drivng the 4x4 standard for abit??

and then when hes comfrtable the go stage 3??

Mine lasted 5miles down the road :oops: :cry: :cry: (i was just covering my self tbh as i would'nt want him to do it and blow his T3 and blame me :cry: )

fair point, largely dependant on the health of the turbo :cry:

DaBoy12s Yes but it was "ment" to have been "rebuilt" 10,000miles before i brought it :cry: :cry:

ooh dear, i am fully expecting mine to go soon, as i am really pushing my luck and had the boost turned up again :cry:

All part of the Cosworth ownership :cry: :cry:

yup, make a few mods and waith for the next thing to go pop

Big brakes before you do anything else ;) :top:
