(estimates)

Wheels + tyres = $2000

Suspension = $1000

200rwkw worth of mods =

Turbo-back exhaust = $1200

Panel Filter = $100

FMIC = $1000

Boost Controller = $200

Exhaust Cam Gear = $250

Power FC + Tune = $1500

Fuel Pump = $400

..and i'm sure their are a couple of things I have missed.

I think you guys are all forgeting the most important,

Fluffy Dice= $2.50

If you are after a Power FC log onto www.nengun.com

By far the cheapest price anywhere for fc's. Unless a group buy is going around of course.

Just to give you an example, here are the mods that I had when I was making 194rwkw (car was originally stock)...

Blitz LM FMIC: $1500

Power FC: $1000

Profec B Spec II EBC: $500

Turbo-back exhaust (w/hi flow cat converter) $1100

K&N Panel Filter: $100

Heavy Duty Clutch: $1100

Total: $5300

Obviously you could probably save some cash on the FMIC by buying a Hybrid or Just Jap jobbie...most people seem to think they do a reasonable job.

Hope that helps.

Power fc - $950 delivered - See here

Hybrid GT spec front mount kits - $630 delivered - See here

suspension - See here

front and dump pipe - See here

High flow cat and cat back system - PM me for more info.

Air filters - PM me for more info.

boost controller - PM me for more info.

These parts will give you around 200rwkw and you should be able to get it all for under 5K.

After this you probably should consider upgrading your fuel pump and coil packs.

You may have to gather more funds for some wheels though....See here for some good packages.

:P

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
