[jpvx]

G'day all,

Just wanting some advice on good cheap mods for a stock v6 ecotec. I only want to spend about $2500.

What sort of power increase should i expect and where can I get it done in Melb??

nothing to serious however it is the best bang for your $$$$ (10/15 kw's)

Exhaust, extractors, diff ratio change and a chip.

Cheers boys,

How much roughly brand new?

gear change is around $1000 - $1200 new including labour (ring around diff shops are happy to quote over the phone) not a DIY job .... unless you want to spend near the same amount buying parts and tools for the job

new exhaust $250 (labour not included)
new extractors (pacemakers) about $400 - $450 (labour not included)
and a chip you can either get done by som1 on this site for around $100 - $150 or buy from a shop for $400 + (you can put this one in yourself no matter how little you know about cars)

and dont forget air filter and roller rockers.
im looking at sports exhaust, k&n filter, headers, roller rockers, chip, and a dyno tune in that order.... mostly as a cost thing but no point having rockers and chip if it cant breathe.
