D.I.y Turbo Side Intake

[frozenxr6t]

Hi all just did a turbo side I take on my fg xr6t. Didn't think it would be that hard,and I was right. I reckon all up bits cost me 150 bucks and my mate is going to enclose the pod for me. I reckon all up took me 2 hours including going to auto electrician to get a fitting crimped on.

All in all sounds unbelievable so I think spending hundreds and hundreds on brand name ones is bit far fetched. I'm not super handy with stuff and I found it a piece of piss. I'll get some photos when I've painted up all the piping etc.

car is tuned with 300rwkw

has 4'' dump

5'' cat and 4'' rest of exhaust bar the rear muffler for some reason its been dropped back to 3''

bigger cooler and hard pipe kit

injectors unsure of size.

parts I got:

2m of power cable

earth cable from sca had the battery terminal already

sca battery tray and universal battery holder had to modify the battery tray and ive still got a support to make for it but for now the battery is 100% secure

one 8mm eyelet to crimp on

3''-4'' silicon elbow I used the one off my muffler delete pipe

stainless 4'' bend and cut to length

pod filter from repco but will be getting a good k&n one just no where in town had one.

32mm door stopper from bunnings and a hose clamp to suit. this is to block of the bov that used to connect to cross over pipe.

ive got a catch can to go in soon which will pick up the breather ontop of the motor

also when you pull the cable outta the fuse box I got the wrong cable (retard I know) so I had to buy another battery terminal. but if the just cut the fuse box cable off the standard power terminal and heat shrink the part thsts left you could prob save some money. I just tapped up the factory neutral incase I ever wanted to put it back to stock look.

That's a good right up, some people just like the expensive kits cause it's easier I guess

Also Turbo side intake breaths easier and can cause your car to run leaner

Prob a good idea to get a check on the dyno make sure everything is alright

[frozenxr6t]

yeah its going to syd soon prob go see cms. when I bought it I got it tested on the dyno to see how it was running. it made 300.8rwkw good afr except on idle and it shows. it hunts at low rpm and is very annoying. it will even stall sometimes. so its going for a retune. I just wanna get maybe some gear to so I can run e85 as well make bit more power again. also get the auto looked at cause its slightly flaring.

Ummmmmm yeh good work but a tuned car with then a turboside intake done throws the tune into an area I highly suggest not thrashing it or even giving it "some"

This needs to be re tuned asap or it's your engine buddy

[frozenxr6t]

yeh mate 100% aware of any change like this to not thrash it. I drive it barely its the misses car. needs tune anyway so the ba xr6t is the car of choice for her now. thanks but mate appreciate it
