5K For Mods - What Would You Do?

[swifty_fpv]

As the title says im trying to find out what you would do if you had 5k to spend on mods. Base Car is BF MkII Typhoon, 6sp Manual. Looking for best bang for buck :)Go!

1st thing id do is use the forums search function. Im presumign the motor is after 06/06 build.

Next id go to XTF or ##### up in WA and drop 5k there. Big cooler kit + battery relocation + 4" air intake of turbo (or process west street plenum kit?), 60lb deka injectors, capa flash + 16-18psi tune, ported/modded/larger flapper turbo with larger actuator. Walbro intank fuel pump, 100cell cat + middle muffler delete.

There is ~6k. So save up a bit more and do it in one hit. Valve springs should be fine in that motor. Recommended highly to get a surge tank.

in a manual you'll need a clutch. Edit: not so sure about an F6, if it was an XR then definitely.

In an auto id say xforce exhaust, IC Kit (process west stage 2/3), injectors, tune and surge tank. Might be a stretch over 5k but worth the extra and should see 350+ rwkw

suspension anyone?

[SuckSqueezeBangBlow]

this is what I'd do.

injectors ~$500

dump & cat ~$800

flash box + tune ~$1200

tripod + gauges ~$600

BMC panel filter ~$100

F6 snorkel ~$70

whiteline swaybars ~$400

bilstein b6 gas sport ~ $1200

nothing too extreme, but should be as happy with the handling improvements as the extra power.

Comes free with the car?

What do want from the car ? Start there IMO and go speak to the relevant suppliers.

It is a completely subjective question as everybody will have an opinion based on their own wants/needs.

Give us a bit more of a steer and you will get better feedback

allow for a clutch,

Just out of interest, are you asking if his Typhoon BF motor is built after 06/06 so it has the Typhoon internals??

EDIT: Sorry, In reply to the clutch thing, my BA Typhoon clutch went recently, although I think it was more from abuse than anything, they seem to be a pretty good clutch if you don't go giving it too much hell.

yeah I know but with the power that most cars on here make the only time you can use it is on the strip, I like the drags but I like corners as well.

$5000 on engine mods and nothing on brakes or suspension seems like a waste to me. Granted a BF mkII should have decent brakes but the suspension aint much chop for a 1800kg car.
