$ Per Kilowatt

[Master G]

Hi guys I thought it might be interesting to work out what kilowatts cost these days, what are the good exchange rates per se, and what are the bad.

For Example

XR6 N/A - 182kw

XR6 T - 240kw $6,550 option.

58kw increase the $ per Kw is $112.93 approx.

APS I Kit - 280kw $1,650 option.

40kw increase the $ per Kw is $41.25

Obviously at the higher end I can see the $ going up and Kw coming down but its an interesting comparo as to what a Kw is worth these days and might help others work out what upgrades are worth the $.

Regards

Geea Level 1 kit 310kw $1950

Don't forget that the price jump for XR6 to XR6T is also for rear power windows, traction control, LSD, etc.

Exactly - you are getting a lot more than just the extra killer watties for your factory turbo upgrade. If you take out the cost of all those items if purchased as accessories then you'll get a more accurate picture.

Dont leave us wondering

If Geea spent $1950 and got 310KW (engine) - What did he/she spend that on??

And if Liontamer2 spent $4300 and got 260Kw at the wheels - exactly what did he get??

Maybe you guys could let the rest of us in who you spent your money with! assuming you wish to recommend them.

XR6 $39000/182kw=$214.00 each

XR6T $45000/240kw=$187.50 each

APS Phase 1 $46690/280kw=$166.75 each

APS Phase 2 $50500/330kw=$153.00 each

APS Phase 3 $54500/375kw=$145.33 each

Hi Russ, I have posted seperate threads on all my mods.

I have an Xede chip from Chiptorque, installed and tuned by Amberley Auto's in Dandenong (did a great job). I have removed the center muffler and replaced it with straight through pipes. I also have a second coldair intake with BMC filter. All up 233rwkw's in normal mode which I was told is 310fwkw's. As per my sig I have an offical 1/4 mile of 13.3 at Calder which would back up 310fwkw's. Hope this helps, do a serch for my mods if you like if you cant find them let me know and I'll put up some links.

Geea.

How many KW's does a big MOMO or Nizmo sticker give me?

[edo]

When comparing kits do you use kw claimed by the people who make them or do you use the results from an independant test on a customers car? They can be very different numbers.

For instance a certain avaliable kit on the workshop car runs out at 119mph down the quarter but the customers who have bought this kit only reach 107mph...that's a big difference.

Similarly the nizpro stage 2 kit is sold as being 350kw flywheel, yet a customer in Adelaide who fitted the kit himself produced 311 rwkw (no matter how you convert it that is significantly more than 350 @ fly)

So its the old saying about shetlands & thoroughbreds...they might all be horses but not all horses are equal.
