Cost To Get Over 300Rw/Kw

[Craig.]

clutch not showing any signs of fatigue after 80,000k's and I like to pop it

Nice to know. I have a slightly used clutch out of an F6 ready to go into mine just before I start to mod and I am looking for around the same power levels as you.

This is interesting... Stats At the moment

7 people spent more than $5000.00 (dominating vote)

7 People were bored of the new found power within a month (dominating vote)

7 People still have their cars in a workshop

I wonder if its the same seven people

I think its funny how when the power bug bites people can't help them selves,

don't get me wrong if I had the dosh I would have more done too!

Sorry to break it to you, but you could have used your money more wisely and got a better result for the $$ spent as per R-Specs post above.

No need to spend money replacing the factory blow off valve ( looks like you have according to your signature) at the power level you have achieved, no need for a surge tank/ bosh 044 set up when an intank Walbro would suffice ( a lot of guys find that they dont even need that in a ute) and those SS inductions kits are not the most efficient use of your cash either!

The money wasted on these few items alone, along with the over inflated price that you paid for your injectors would have paid for a good cooler with appropriate piping, and an under battey CAI which would have resulted in at least a 30RWKW jump in power, less lag, better throttle response and more consistencey in power during the summer months!

Thanks for your input craiginmackay,

yes I realise the SS Inductions CAI was a mistake (bought it in early days), BOV was for wank

factor (I love the wosh) and the fuel pump and surge is most deffinetly required, the 044 allows for future upgrades and I

personally have had surge issues with 1/4 of a tank of fuel (I'm not scared of corners).

Like I have already stated, I did not even need 60Ib injectors when 42Ib would suffice for this level of power, I was just interested in other

peoples ideas and where they head first in the search for power, as the poll states there are a few people with the cars in a workshop somewhere

costing them money, I find it funny - we are never happy and constantly have to spend more for more power!!!

Time for a group hug me thinks

[SAPNEN]

Hey what about you 'team grandpa' you seam to be happy with 'stock power'... whats the deal, do you not get bored of the stock power? or are you happy keeping the warrenty etc...? just interested is all.

Never go over 10% throttle so it'd be pointless

Promised myself I wouldn't modify until I have no demerit points accumulated...seems to be quite a hurdle

[xr6tc]

It seems to be a case of drving with the smallest number of demerit points for the longest possible time...

I ended up spending about $6000 = 344rwkw

all depends on the turner, some will say "yeah it will make 300" but for how long.

As I found out choose a tuner who wants to make sure your happy and they are happy with the car. I took mine to tunehouse and after doing the work Jim insisted on putting in the fuel pump otherwise there is would of been a good chance the engine would go bang! ok cost me a little extra then what I wanted to pay but its now one hell of a car!

I've spent 10g on my BAII 342rwkw, with all the mods in my sig (except for rims, gauges, lowering, sway bars and pwr rad).

Only installed the cooler myself so about $2000 was labour and tune was $1000

Still want to spend another 3-4 to tuff up the bottom end.
