That's a very neat looking car and you're gonna love the Raptor mate, I had a VS with one on it, unintercooled and it was loads of fun. Couldn't agree more with vy1tonnerbloke too, Tim is fantastic, great bloke and always willing to help out and answer any questions.
Cheers mate i'm trying haha! Hopefully the Raptor is as good as I'm hoping.
Tim has been very helpful, called him tonight to ask if i had a PCM issue or cluster issue as when i started my car back up it had a very low fuel warning (when i know it had fuel in it) and it only went up when i put more fuel in.. Might fill it completely and see if it fixes it.
Instead of polishing the plenum lid maybe think about painting it. I painted mine gloss black. I reckon it looks pretty smart.
I thought about painting it but i'm unsure as of yet - I've never gone for a good looking bay so I may end go down the polishing path, i'll figure it out in the future.
Updates: Fitted my new injectors, new tuned PCM from Raptor and all my switches/cluster back in tonight.
I put it all back together expecting something to go wrong, and suprisingly there was pretty much nothing. It all went smoothly (besides the fuel guage not reading any existing fuel)
Injectors were a bit of a prick to change leaking fuel everywhere (as I forgot to prime it before hand but car was unstartable at that stage) and one of the bloody O-rings got stuck in the holder so had fun getting that out. Ended up using a spring puller, had a great angle to pull it out.
Car runs and idles great, absolutely no miss even with my dodgy gap changing on plugs, new leads, new DFI and coilpack on the new tune. Car is slightly less powerful being tuned for the raptor, but still more than driveable.
Also got Greg to adjust my PPK value to accomidate the 3.46 gears i got fitted, but seems speedo went the opposite way. Showing 60kph my GPS says 63KPH, and at 100KPH i'm doing about 106KPH.. Bit scary when it comes to speed cameras and **** these days but I think it'll be fine considering it's not that much difference.
Pictures on the conversion and my shitty headunit:
Edit: Have updated the first page, also looking to get these ordered before the charger arrives (but boost/volts) - Only issue is that my stereo wiring is fkd. Would love to use the remote wire from behind the stereo to turn them on, and wire as per normal but I wouldn't know what is what without pulling all the **** apart. When I rewire, I'm wondering if I should just buy a bunch of speaker wire and just resolder them all but issue would be that they're all different colours.
I'm also having issues again when i turn right, something gets caught on my steering and i have to force it. Found it previously that the sway bar is hoping over the caster rod due to worn out link pins.
I'll be ordering these tomorrow:
