i recon by the time i'm done the grand total will be pretty small

2'nd hand everything

turbo - $400

front/dump - $400

3port - $100

hotside LICP $100

already have fuel pump

Total $1000 + tune for 230awkw is pretty damn good

also $2000 total spend for 70-80kw gain (50% over stock) is hard to beat

20psi is stock

dat boost

Drove Aarons last night, sure as fuark doesn't feel like a stock car, dat pull in low gears <3

It's cause you are used to your cars gear ratios and spool rate. Jump in a diesel or v8 and you would have more pull in low gears too.

Birds explained it few pages back. It's no criss angel

true and untrue....

it doens't feel like a stock car, that's for sure

remember its an actual sports car from factory... has stiffer suspension, chassis is reinforced etc etc

but you are sure right about the gearing

Yeh pretty much add a catback to that and it's also my list, not hard to get there at all.

Ads $350 for a flash

But for a daily, feeling fast could be better than actually being fast and it feeling slow... Unless you want crazy butt raep fines.

On the freeway I pulled in 3rd from 70 (where I'd normally be in 2nd for a quicker spool) and I was quicker up until I ran out of fuel. Got got a little jump on me at the start obviously.

I only drove the evo for about a 1km of Springvale Road and didn't get over 100 80 kilometers per hour in accordance with state government regulation so didn't really get to feel the higher speed pull. I guess that's where the capacity makes a difference.

I also don't understand why it's got such a bad turning circle? Is it just that the wheels dont have enough lock?

Something to do with the 4wd system I don't know.

I wanted to do a 0-100 though.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
