Unfortunately mate, 3G.. won't do a hell of a lot for you..

Once you pay for labour and all.... If you can do anything yourself... you'll save heaps in money and will therefore be able to do more...

What's your compression on that motor? Could bump up the comp a bit... port the head to get better flow... Change your cams... get a stand alone management system.... There's a few ideas... I'm a forced induction person so I'd just say force it but that will cost a bit.....

Have you got any ideas yet? Does that help?

i'm trying to avoid forced induction, mainly because of P-plate restrictions.....so i'm trying to keep the mods, below radar...but yeah a few people have suggested a new ECU...you are right about the budget tho, so i'll be doing as much as i can myself, thanks for the help though, cams seems like a route that may work

[mxtcy]

just zorst and filter will do a little for you. and fits easy in the budget

if you go ahead with that at those prices, you are getting ripped

rofl...

[AlexCim]

I really wouldnt say that.

Depends what type of person you are. Ive spend 2k on my full exhaust, 1.2k on frount mount, id spend 2k on an ecu including tune etc etc (PFC), 1500 on a rebuilt turbo+install.

Its not that bad!

Sure you can do this

chinese exhaust, chinese turbo, chinese frount mount, chinese ecu (exist? iono, probably some copy somewhere) + chinese mechanic/chinese tune (nothing against, just part of the theme) and get it for heaps less, but it depends where your priorities lie my friend.

Id pay the above prices. I am not much of a hybrid/xforce fan (speaking from past experiances)

[Eug]

dude... i dont mind you trying to portray the whole copy/pirate scene, and i fully understand what you're trying to get at - but being chinese i take slight offence at your stereotype.

been to china 4 times and there are a few respectable garages in china that stock all the well known brands such as hks, blitz, greddy, etc (and guess what they are all similarly priced as stuff you would buy here).

people buy copies knowing that they are copies - and yet they complain when they break. dont buy em.

that said - those prices do look a little high (even for australian prices)

cheers

$2000 ECU + tuning and install

$1500 Turbo Parts + install (high comp, low boost) (turbo,manifolds,bov, injectors, etc)

$1200 full catless exhaust, straight thru 3"

$800 Front mount (including custom piping)

$300 cold air intake

^^ whats so rip off about that.

[noise]

ECU = 1000 tuning = no more then 500

500 = amount you are getting ripped off

[illusiVe]

its just a estimate

good to overshoot.
