Budget xr6 Turbo mods

[El Andrew]

I reckon my 100 cell cat was only about $450 fitted, which included making up a Y piece to split into 2 pipes after the cat.

I picked up my venom bolt in section

( the two pieces ) for $500 off Gum Nut.

Brand new still in the box. The guy bought it but never fitted it up to his car.

You will find bargains out there especially now that  the B series parts are priced alot cheaper, because most have moved on to the F series cars.

bad people!

 

You're funny. Making me lol like that. 

$450 or a screw driver and mallet... 

This might be for sale still

That ain't the dump pipe in that ad. 

 

This is the bf venom dump with cat pipe and intermediate pipe.

Priced at around $950/$1000 if my memory serves me right.

And this is my new dilemma.

My bolt in is perfect for a stock dump pipe.

But what about when it's time to upgrade the dump pipe.

I have to go for one of these. vvvvvvv

Makes my cat section redundant.

Yep that's what I paid for mine.

 

You can keep your cat section etc and just get a custom dump made.

 

If you're feeling deadly and can measure a bit you can buy a 4 inch bend and a 5 bolt flange and hammer the pipe so it lines up with the flange. It'd only be a couple of hundred to get that fitted to your cat section at an exhaust shop.

 

You're close to the limit of your engine anyway so I wouldn't worry about it myself.

This is what came to mind.

Pretty happy where it's at power wise.

make sure you include in your Budget the fact things will be old and with more power be under more stress than before which can cause issues.

 

basically your local mechanic will be a very happy man.

Very good point johnno.

Transmission

Diff bushes

Clutch if have one.

Valve springs will already be pretty soft.

Tyres will need replacing after new found power due to excess skid activity.

[Puffwagon]

Then your turbo will sh*t itself and you'll buy a bigger one cos who doesn't like a big one?!

 

Before you know it, cheap as possible becomes 15 to 20k over 2 years. Much, much more if you pay someone to do it.

 

The golden years will be skids galore and smoke for the masses. Soon enough you'll drive like a grandma as your household budget grows weary of having fuel and tyres as a priority.

 

By the time you realize it's too late your wife will have left you and your kids won't recognise your face cos you went for milk and cigarettes and came back with oil and octane booster some ten years later. Your cat/dog/chicken will be your sole companion in life and eventually they will leave you/die too cos you forget to feed it. You need moar powah!!!

 

Parts break, hearts ache, things will twist and for discounts you'll wrist.

 

80 years come to pass and as your soul flees this physical realm...you hear one last call to arms...choo choo ch ch ch ch ch ch psshhhhh.

 

For this poetic embrace, I only have one por favor, fix your car but only once but when arrived nevermore.

 

Jks, do what you like
