If you want cheap, trade it in, and buy a Great Wall. Or a Prius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRK Member 361 Member For: 13y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 14/10/13 07:26 AM Share Posted 14/10/13 07:26 AM Serious......... run it on 98 octane and if it is a BA/BF cut out the centre muffler. You might get......... 10?? RWKW and wholelotta noise. Buy some injectors off one of the members ( Bosch 440cc stuff is getting cheap these days) and a custom tune and you will thank everyone here big time.A Webber sticker out-powers the Holley.And work harder - I am not taking the piss - because I have said before - I have a part time job to pay for my hobby and after a cruise in the T last Friday Night it is worth every hour I do in that regard.

_Velocity_ Bronze Donating Members 2,768 Member For: 13y 8m 23d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 14/10/13 07:31 AM Share Posted 14/10/13 07:31 AM (edited) Generic tune I reckon but everyone says your car will blow up. I know a guy who used one on his xr5 focus for a year and nothing happened, he knew he was selling the car though. ECUs in the focus are more forgiving and to a degree will fix any small discrepancies in a generic tune. OP IMHO best bang for ya buck is VCM (HP tuners or whatever) tune, deka 60s, walbro intank pump, gutted cat on United P100 fuel. Probably cost you < $1200 all up. If you want to do it on the real cheap though just drill some holes in your actuator and or gut your cat. Take to Ratter when problems start!

Gotta be the absolute cheapest way to make noticeably more power though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
