Got A Quote For Mods And Tuning..

[fatz_f6_typhoon]

Honestly keep saving up a lil longer and do it right !!!

Or it will cost you more in the long run if your going to mod again later

Set up for that go bigger injectors 800cc or even 1000cc so you don't have to change again later

Same with intercooler

Ok so -

As far as rapids apparent bad reputation with communication and sending out parts:

He is as far as I can tell the cheapest by quite a margin, this alone counts for a lot. Despite the flaming I have read on here, if you go to the power vs mods thread, every 2nd car is using his stuff meaning a lot of people must be getting on ok with it.

So I texted him saying I was interested in buying the v2.0 intercooler kit and full xforce 3.5" mild quiet sedan exhaust and does he have them in stock and where is he located incase I can pick them up?

He replied to me within an hour saying yes he has them in stock, he is located in seven hills and to arrange a time if I wanted to come pick them up.

So far we have decided on next Friday morning and he has given me a discount for cash.

So we will see but hopefully cutting out the postage middle man will smooth things out regarding other peoples bad experiences.

I'll let you all know how it goes as far as my dealings...

Now back to the mods -

I've got the walbro in tank pump waiting.

Im planning on buying 60lb dekkas on fleabag.

And I'd like to get and braided oil feed line with inline filter if anyone knows the best place to get one of these?

I think that's it! Have I missed anything?

I don't really know how much power to expect but I think I've covered most of my bases here..

Oh and I think I'll get some gauges too, I've already got a scan gauge but I'm thinking a twin gauge pod with a boost and oil temp gauge from super cheap. $100 for the pod and $80 each for the saas brand gauges.

Kind of ranting here and my budget has completely gone out the window but yeah, I think I'd rather do it right the first time and not be driving around for 5 years thinking "I wish I hadn't cheaped out on the full exhaust, I wonder how much more responsive it would be?"

I believe Ratter (Pitlane) was sorting out a group buy on inline oil filter kits. Uses an earls filter but with better braided lines than what comes in the earls kit.

Any reason why you're fixed on getting Deka60s? If you believe it's not worth cheaping out on the exhaust shouldn't you spend a bit more coin and get a set of ID1000s or the KPM equivalent too?

Yeah I think you are probably right about the injectors...

[ms700]

tooooooooooooo many incoming lols

you get what you pay for

Nizpro coolers were around 1400, will be on your door the next day and work 10x better.

Just a weld in 5" cat is perfect.

But when you ignore everyone's advice done expect much help when it starts going pear shaped.

No you don't. That's the problem with old mate. You never receive the gear after you pay!

Well I'm going to pick the stuff up and pay in cash. So if you think I'm going to pay and leave with nothing? Well then yeah that would be pretty dumb.

Does anyone actually have a problem with these systems when they are on the car?

Given that I'm looking for low-mid 300rwkw with good drivability. (with maybe the room to grow a little in a year or two...)

Henz you're running 60lb injectors on your 400Rwkw ute... I'm still undecided as to wether its worth putting in ID1000's.

Seems like gold plating.

Should be OK if you are picking up. I would open all the boxes while in the shop and check it all, including instructions. Ask about how much cutting is involved to fit the cooler.

If you are on a budget then these are probably the parts for you. You need to tell your tuner what parts you are getting especially the injectors, to ensure he can tune with them.

Unfortunately BUDGET and modifying these cars doesn't really fit in the same sentence. As mentioned above you really do get what you pay for.
