As for a direction im wanting to head, track work prob isnt it, neither is a 10sec slip being a manual, what I do want is something that will keep say a cammed gts or a blown late model clubby at bay, something quick around the streets with out the hassle of something that's a pain in the arse to drive.Once again cheers for the replies so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just upgrade the cooler. -Tune + xcalDepending on how much you do yourself and who you go to that should be roughly 5k. Maybe a bit moreThe above isn't my opinion. They are necessary mods to achieve what you have described. The surge tank won’t give you a performance gain but the last thing you need is the motor leaning out when you punch it.Suspension, gauges etc wont be required to destroy a gts Edited 14/05/10 05:46 PM by Paulie2256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example I have a Process west street plenum kit going for $2600 (includes hotside, coldside, cooler, plenum, and 4" intake. Add to that...Injectors for $400Fuel pump for $400Hi Flow Cat and Centre Muffler Removal $600Flash Tuner and Tune $1000.This would see you over 330rwkw with the exhaust being the limiting factor. I'm not pushing you for a sale, but when I first did my mods, I got second hnd gear where I could and for $5000 made a reliable 330rwkw.This included a x-force exhaust, flash 3, plazmaman cooler and pipework, k&N filter, Typhoon air intake, injectors, fuel pump, thermostat, tune. All fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example I have a Process west street plenum kit going for $2600 (includes hotside, coldside, cooler, plenum, and 4" intake. I would snap that up in a second if I didnt already get my nizpro gear.Injectors $400Surge Tank + pump $1000 (expensive but well worth your money)Xcal and tune allow $1000You can pick up full xforce systems off ebay (4" dump 5" cat 3.5 or twin 2.5" exhaust) for around $13-1400 in mild steel with stainless dump and cat.that's just over 6k if you go with the exhaust but that will see you through to 350 at least. Might need turbo porting and actuator but that will put you a bit too far over budget, but it all depends on what you go with. You can drop the surge tank and get an internal pump which will save you about 800 bucks but that's if u wanna risk it.Being a BF phoon, valve springs and clutch should hold out fairly well.Getting second hand gear is a good idea of saving money, I got a full nizpro kit, ported turbo, exhaust, tune for around 7k. I just got an almost new second hand clutch in great nick for just under half the RRP. Only think im really buying brand new is valve springs.

At one stage my car had the nickname "jet033" as it had half qik1's old gear on it.got a great deal on a turbo with a ported flapper and 12psi actuator, then sold my stock turbo got a great deal on a plazmaman intercooler kit - thanks mattyb - which replaced the 2nd hand intercooler I hadgot a great deal on a custom dump and xforce exhaust - which replaced the 2nd hand cat and mid section I hadgot a great deal on a set of seimens deka 60lb injectors still in their packet2nd hand xcal1 flash boxtotalling around $3250best tip is do it all at once, tunes can get expensive otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyb Donating Members 1,097 Member For: 16y 6m 11d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast, QLD Posted 20/05/10 01:48 AM Share Posted 20/05/10 01:48 AM (edited) Make sure you get gear that will allow you to GROW... as an idea, here is where I am at.I started with a Plazmaman intercoolr kit, sold that bought a process west street plenumkit, have sold that and am now buying a Process west stage 3 kit and 4" airbox.Everything I have bought up untill now has been second hand, or heavily discounted. My advice is to pick what power you want long term, and pick an honest number for the time being that you can add to to reach your long term goal. MAKE SURE that you only have to do minor mods tou your first lot of gear (like replace intake or plenum) to get to you long term goal when you decide to go that way.I originally wanted a process west stage 3 kit with the 4" race air box. But I was about a grand short. In all the buying and selling, I've definately come out behind. If I'd have waited till I had that extra $1000 initially, I would have saved myself a lot of timeand money, AND had more money now to play with.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 8m 25d Gender: Male Posted 20/05/10 06:13 AM Share Posted 20/05/10 06:13 AM Many don't know this but it is your duty as a forum member to spend that money first on engine mods until you to reach the 350 rwkw club.How many times have you humiliated a HSV under brakes or around a bend. Yes never. How about at the traffic lights. Well probably a few times.So something like injectors, fuel pump, intercooler tune are fine.Even sticky rear tyres qualify in this initial expenditure as do hi stalls and 90/10 front shocks.I take humiliating HSV drivers and V8 drivers in general seriously so if I see you spending your money in the wrong place you better watch out.
