Ive seen the dyno sheet for it and from what Ive seen from other cars that have been to this certian turner its a pretty common tune... Says 388kw (surely at fly wheel or somewhere far far far away from rear wheels) heres the full reading

770.5Nm 179km/h 4534rpm

388.1kw 201km/h 5105rpm

This still has a stock cooler and cross over unit. It wouldnt know what hit it if it could actually make that at the rears... hes asking for NZ$25,000.

Other option is same year car, same interior etc etc in a kind of silver looking colour with the following making 380kw at flywheel on 98:

STAINLESS STEEL CAT BACK BIG BORE

EXHAUST PACKAGE

HMS 3O4 Stainless Steel Twin 2.5inch Front Big Bore. 3inch intermediate Pipe & Rear Big Bore with Twin Outlet 2.5inch Tailpipes & Stainless Steel Tailpipe Extensions - Big Mouth Air Filter

COLD AIR INDUCTION

75mm THROTTLE BODY

HERROD STEALTH COMPUTER MODULE

(Can be operated with either 96 or 98 Unleaded Fuel Programs)

RACE VALVE SPRINGS

BIGGER INJECTORS

HI FLOW FUEL PUMP

and has 30,000km and wants nz$34,000 starting price

Im not sure where you guys are getting fw figures from. Its an engine out job.

The best thing to do is to find someone with similar power and get them to test drive it or find out what speed it does in 400m

Ok heres the real question. Should a typhoon that has 130,000km on the clock be trusted enough mechanically to buy? It will be going straight into the hands of another tuner - one I trust. Or do these cars lose there "thing" after so many km's??

Valve springs could soften over that time if they are the std fraud item. Maybe you should keep saving so you can get something lower ks.

Mods have been on for 30.

And really 130 is nothing anymore. If it has been serviced properly then I wouldn't worry.

Sorry to confuse ya Pazzo. I have been looking at two cars 1 is a blue 06 typhoon which has 130,000km (or127,000km if ya wanna be technical) for NZ$25k and the other is a silver 06 phoon with 38,000km on it for NZ$38. The bionic blue one has been well looked after with a full service history etc. 130,000km for a 4l turbo motor is stuff all for the size of the motor. I mean if it was a 1600cc then Id reconsider

I mean really what parts would you be more concerned about breaking with higher km's???

Turbo - recently replaced due to the oil feed problem

Pistons/con rods - would be replaced anyway as I want to mod it straight away with the goal of 400rwkw in mind

Auto trans - dont know much about the 6spd gear boxes but I would have thought it could be a problem after all those km's

the exhaust system will be a big restriction, that 3' section needs to be replaced with 4' asap, and the dyno sheet, well numbers can easily be fudged. theres no way youll get 388kw with a std turbo,crossover and a bodgy exhaust system without anything less than a 4' intake.

34K+++ for a phoon with cloth interior, poo mods, and average km's doesnt scream bargain at me.

I reackon the following would get it up to 400rwkw

Custom dyno tune

60lb injectors

High volume fuel pump upgrade

High flow metal catalytic converter

Turbo wastegate actuator upgrade

Turbo wastegate flapper valve and exhaust housing mod upgrade

race intake

cooler, plenum and piping

3.5" Turbo back exhaust system (incl 4" dump pipe)
