Wasnt a back yard job, i payed $250 for the f*ckin thing to be installed, stef gave me a solution but was a bit late :(

Sounds really complicated Luke, managed to fit a dose pipe but dont no if i can manage that one haha. Help anyone?

I probably made it sound more complicated than it really is. You need to remove the earth cables from the engine and alternator and replace them with heavier cable and run these to the battery not the chassis.I bet you amp is earth to the chassis and because of this the poor ground of the ford piss weak cabling is causing you problems. Its also best to earth the amp on the battery rather than that chassis.

Any auto spark with 1/2 to 3/4's of a brain would be able to do it in there sleep.

It was only a tranny for the last 8 weeks or so... Someone else can take the title now cause the kit was sold!

Mikey's also a XR8 wannabe with his new bulge :stirthepot:

Mat - I think it depends how you are planning to mount it...

Is it for a straight intank replacement or will you be using as part of a surge tank etc?

PM Kev from Process West, I would think he will sell you one on its own, otherwise Croydon Racing Developments sell them for around $230 which is pretty good. You might find that Kev wants less though so...

As for noise, I know they are pretty noisy - Had one intank on my GTR and a fair bit of a buzz. Cant give you a comparison with a Walbro though, mine hasnt been fitted to my ute just yet.

It'll be in-tank! I'd like a little noise but nothing too OTT.

So no one locally is competitive?

Also does anyone know just how much power the standard BF cat "robs"? If I run the standard cat, will it be enough power to see the standard clutch last until I have some $$ back in the bank? Mods will just be FMIC, injectors, tune, fuel pump, CAI. etc I know it'll need a retune after clutch and dump but that's all good..

I just picked up a brand new 044 for $100 :o

Yea anything over the power levels the cat will restrict you to will kill the clutch so better off leaving the standard one in & staying around 260rwkw. Once the clutch is in, punch the cat & 300+ look out :spoton:

some people have seen 300rwkw with the standard cat in place.. I know ez2cme did it but he had a full plenum kit. I think it has also been done with process west stage 2.

the clutch is going to be a problem mate, my clutch looked VERY tired after 30k on a 10psi generic. scribr's clutch didn't make it past 267rwkw on the dyno without bad slip..

Dean, where or a 2nd hand / new deal? I've never ran a cat in my other cars before so I wont be this time when the time comes. Not many places want to have anything to do with that though.. I can tell you that my old car had the odd yellow sticker (I think was 5 all up) and the pits never said anything about having no cat! So those 10K fines are just internet rumours! Not to mention they'd be waiting a long time to get their money! I wonder if I'd get flames out of a nice 4" dump into 3.5inch exhaust. Flames either side would look very cool!

Kieran, I know the clutch will die, but if I can get the fmic / injectors done, it'll keep me happy while I can save for a clutch. My brother had a textralia clutch in his car and said it was great! Not sure and I know AP is the way to go but 4k for a clutch is a lot! I'll have to have a chat to Ross @ Autoclutch and see what he recomends. He's done my other clutches and does them for many of the workshops locally so I guess he would know!

Shoulda got an auto :(

Think this movie will be ok! Coming out in October. Sex-Drive.

Looks to be a bit Super Badish but could be alright!
