Hello all

I have holidays right before xmas for 1 week. I want to get mods like : Intercooler, boost controller, heavy duty clutch, computer, pod filter done in one hit. How long would you say it would take to get those things done and then dyno as well?

Is that amount of time going to be enough? I live 500kms from perth :) Hence the reason I have limited time up there.

Thanks

Glen..

intercooler takes an hour and bit to fit roughly.. thats a DIY jobbie though using a KIT like the Hybrid one...boost controller.. if manual is very quick.. electronic is a bit of stuffing around.. so 2 hours or so there. computer same thing..plugins you can plug in yourself.. 15 mins... or a workshop doing the dyno tuning will do it all for you..clutch sorry cant help there. pod filter is about 15 mins...if you have the afm adaptor. and that will include removing the old airbox..

yeah id ring the workshop up two months notice to get all the parts in for you (since you are wanting quite a bit fitted to the car). Then id say fitting probably wouldnt be anymore than 2 -3 days depending on the workload of the workshop. But there are people on here that own workshops that can clarify for you. Im just guesstimating.

The more organised you are .... the more organised the workshop can be and the quicker things can get done. Know exactly what you want on the car .... there are many different kinds of ECU, FMIC, Boost controllers etc out there.... if you arent ordering in the parts yourself - then give them plenty of notice to get them in for you. :)

Or if you want.. get a hole saw and a drill

get an intercooler kit there are cheaper ones advertised on here i think but you can get a hybrid kit for $1150 and thats with polished aluminium pipes and includes hoses etc.. and full instructions including pictures.

That will take you a couple of hours to fit.

and about 3 days to get delivered to your door.

same goes for the boost control you can get it on the same delivery for about $360 or something

same goes for the pod filter.

take a weekend to get the cooler and pod fitted and then drive down to perth and get the boost control and the ecu and the clutch fitted.. a clutch place can do it if you book it in etc and then you can pick it up or wait there and then go to a workshop for ecu install and tune.

it cant be that hard..just get to planning

You can actualy get all these mods done in Bunbury if it is easier, quiet a bit closer to your current location, bart from south west brakes does good deals on the clutches same day install, and the rest can be handle by a number of different companies Adrenalin Performance are a group of guys no nonsence but there are plenty of great shop in perth to. Best of luck with the mods

if you want to bore out your cylinders for extra power you can put exactly 100 grains of sand into your fuel tank and that will go through the system and you will notice the power gain within two weeks

no idiot, this only works with diesel

so fill her up with diesel first ok

    • 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
