wow, its been forever since i got on her to update this thread....
Coils are now behind the engine, bolted to a bracket on top of the gearbox, i have a new 3" dump pipe that doesnt touch anywhere (but still needs ceramic coating), have just installed a pro-ratchet shifter and a fully built full-manual TH700 from Craigs Autos goes in early next week, im making a trip up to sydney to have them fit it for me on site.
Got all i need now for the tuning- 36lb fuel injectors, Walbro pump, 3 Bar Map sensor, and im currently pricing my options. At the moment, its looking cheaper for a Haltech E6GMX + custom tune (1250 for ECU + 600 for tune) as getting a Kalmaker job done on the factory ECU..... (1500 for tune, plus 600 to unlock the Kalmaker Key... or something like that). Once i decide (and once auto is in) its off to the Dyno, followed soon after to WSID. No idea what it'll make on the 8psi i want to start with, but should be enough for a 13, fingers crossed. :dance:
We're keeping the stock convertor, and using the turbo's fast boost response to run quick using lots of low/midrange torque more than horsepower.
I'll get some new pics up soon in relation to all the new stuff i've done!! Therers a lot of changes....
