That's the only thing I noticed when I fitted mine so it will save your hip pocket every week. At 110kph on cruise I can average 6.9 to 7.1 litres per 100 klm, before I stuck it on I was getting 8.9 to 9.3.

Adam Here since the start...

xr6t_ute Donating Members 2,281 Member For: 17y 7m 29d Gender: Male Location: south east suburbs Posted 22/01/11 07:52 AM Share Posted 22/01/11 07:52 AM Yeh 350 is very much maxed out on those injectors, 60lb seimens are good for around 450, so its only $400 to upgrade to. As for budgets, id be budgeting for failures like trans if its a auto.Im pushing my Ba around the power you want for 100,000kms now and still going but I know a few guys that have had there engines go bang, so one thing to stick in your head is make sure you get a very good tuner to tune your car....and also if u change anything on your car get the tune checked straight away instead of thrashing it around.And dont skimp on servicing reguarly.

RAP1D Member Donating Members 3,739 Member For: 18y 9m 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 24/01/11 07:51 AM Share Posted 24/01/11 07:51 AM No point trying to get 350wkws from an entry level intercooler... the crossover and airbox are still a restriction, though there are poeple that have tuned hard with this stuff and got close to the power, but there's also loads of blown motors as results.If you do all the mods right, you'll end up with a safe 330-340 and wont have to worry about breaking the motor in the race to find a few extra kws.320wkws is fairly affordable and easy to do, 350 is starting to push the dollars right up, so decide on what power you really want... being a BA you need to keep the power down to sub 350 in reality.At the end of the day, you can buy all the right gear or the wrong gear, but the tune is going to make or break the end result.
