$675 at www.modyourcar.com.au

I got mine from UAS though -

I'm finding mine sooo good ! I want to wire up the external shift points soon !

Ask John for a SAU Member's discount !

http://www.xspeed.com.au has it for $612.81

They're in W.A. though, so I have to factor in shipping.

CerealKiller: Turbosmart won some kind of award at SEMA when they released this boost controller in the States... Basically, you can program exactly when you want your wastegate open, so you get ZERO wastegate creep.

What does that mean? Basically it means your turbos will spool up as fast as possible.

The only thing I hate about it is the shape... Stupid idea Turbosmart... Why couldn't you have made it rectangular like normal people???? :P

Cheers Brett :P

Here's an Autospeed evaluation on the product for those who want more information about it:

http://www.turbosmart.com.au/AutoSpeed_%20...-Boost_Eval.htm

They were awarded "Runner Up in the Best New Performance-Racing Product" category at SEMA, November 2002.

It is said to bring the car on boost faster than ANY other boost controller and once there, hold boost perfectly steady. What more could you ask for in a boost controller? :(

External Shift Points?

Adrian

Allows you to trigger boost settings ( 3 of ) via a switch(s) - can wire it up to gear selection or just a 3 way toggle - beats trying to use the interal shift points on the guage.

you can also trigger an external output based on a pre-set boost level - ie I/C Water Spay, and other things that oxygenize the air *cough* *cough*

And yes Merli, I agree - Weird package - but works good !

and other things that oxygenize the air *cough* *cough*  

Careful there Brendan, you know that nitrous has 100 parts/million of sulphur dioxide right? One of the sulphur dioxide poisoning symptoms is uncontrollable coughing fits :P

Andrew - I just had a look at that xspeed site and the prices are Ex. GST so be careful mate !

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't notice, although I'm sure I would have when I tried to order it...

I'd rather grab one from Sydney anyway, I hate waiting :P Anyone got any contacts from Turbosmart resellers that they can hook me up with? :(

    • Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc. 
    • Races cars don't care for VIN either...
    • This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.
    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
