Everyone's thoughts :)

Post by marshy1223 »

Hey guys as of my tax return soon I would like to give my fto a little bit more oomphh!! Lol my budget it roughly 1500.. Was thinking of Dwayne's setup. The haltech platinum , RPW extractors and cold air ( already got that ) is there anything else that could make a diff? I seen this throttle body thing on RPW with the airflow increased by 5mm.. ? I want peoples thoughts as I have much to learn about fto's still haha cheers guys

Save it for another car or an engine swap. Unfortunately 1500 will get you f**k all power out of an na fto, specially since you already have headers n a tune.

Or if I've read that wrong 1500 won't get a tune in, and headers are the only plausible thing to get in if you get a custom y pipe put in.

So it's a no go? Lol I was thinking of doing a 6a13tt swap sometime early next year but 15 odd grand worth of conversion just doesn't cut it for me lol. I think I might just do a datto project car instead haha

As much as I love my fto I think do a Bennoz :D just with less repairing LOL! I've read high and low and can't get exact pricing on how much to convert. Reading the topic is pointless to me cause I don't know what I'm looking at not do I have a clue what to do myself to put it in :(

Do intake and exhaust first, then go for the ECU. Throttle body is questionable with respect to gains vs Cash.

Aza got 17KW ATW from his haltech install. I got 12KW ATW. Not to mention the improvement in fuel economy. Its not an engine swap, but its reliable. I now have 133KW ATW (stock is 100KW ATW). Thats a 30% gain on naturally aspirated, which isnt bad IMO.

    Well I have gotten a air intake so far, just need RPW extractors and exhaust.. Plus the haltech I wonder what difference it does!? Mine already goes pretty good! ( private road ) but I have taken a auto sidi ve sv6 sedan. Not by much but enough for him to not overtake. And a sv6 6sp manual ute neck on neck. Just me wanting to go that little bit more :) typical me haha

    If you're thinking throttle body, don't get the RPW one, just go to your local wreckers and get one off a Galant V6, $50.

    There's a thread on here with all the details :)
