i've heard about this final drive so would you need to change anything else or just that final drive gear? what happens to the top speed???
No need to change anything else. Top speed drops a little bit with 4.56 (237km/h) and up.
I have J's 4.44 and top speed remained the same - 245km/h - but at higher revs (redline).

so mugen would be the best among them all as its a closed closed system... is the Gruppe M one closed?
The best intakes are the ones that create ram air effect at high speeds (above 150km/h) and take fresh air outside engine bay IMO.
Mugen and J's Racing Tsuchinoko are top ones but you need to cut the hood a bit, Gruppe M doesn't require cutting as there is no air duct attached to it. Cheaper solution is a Spoon style air duct.

forgot to mention would final drive work even better with a lighter flywheel?? or is the S stock one ok for job?
Different parts. Final drive makes gears short or long, lighter flywheel makes the car rev better.

Your posts read like the random outpourings of a madman. Do some proper searching on this board and you'll find all the info you need. With regard to final drive information, see the link in my signature.


Yes, I'm having a bad day.
