hi all

i called UAS and got a quote for $250 to install a split dump/front pipe, high flow cat and intake pipe.....the pipe that connects to the front of the turbo and AFM

they said it would take 2 and a half hours to do everything

just thought the price was abit steep....was looking at $200 max

anyone know places that could do it abit cheaper......or am i better off getting it properly done for $250?

thanks

no comment. untill you actuallly work out how long it takes drivein-drive out. including fitting chinese shit that doesnt line up at all : its a pretty normal price.

this is you suplying the parts? loosing profet on not selling parts is also a reason :)

coilover installation including front bushes in my driveway.... easy as pie, saved alot of cash too!!!!!!!!!

Ill have a go at FMIC install :)

go for it mate. I just did my first FMIC install last weekend. I started at 8AM and finished up under lights at about 10PM. There was alot of swearing and hard work but it was worth it. Taught myself how to use an angle grinder and learnt alot more about my car. Such as..make sure you do up the silicon joiners nice and tight :) I'm writing up an clear and printer friendly process for it now for anyone else wanting to give it a shot.

Kennedy and Trust33:

ive done most things on my car myself and some friends came round to help out with my bodykit and FMIC

T04GTR:

im supplying the parts....hopefully they will fit well....brought the parts of the BATMBL group buys and most people that have brought those parts are pretty happy with them

this is probaly not very helpful, but im getting a 3inch split dump pipe from turbo to cat done custom made for $350 all up made installed gaskets and is also going to put on my cat convertor

My bf said it was a really good price to and he does a great job as he did my bf;s mates 10sec rotor and his dads exhaust aswell(legend01)

the place is carline mufflers, mt druitt... Bruno

Cheers

That's what I said above. The stuff made by the bogans of this country is even worse quality again.

My dump/front was bought off a recommended seller of this forum. same issue. I had to spend 2 days geting the stuff modified etc.

Like the advertisement supporting aussie stuff should say - Shit Quality. Overpriced. Built by lazy bogans.

my rule these days with my car, everything excluding brakes, and internal engine work.

Buy the mod, attempt DIY over 2 weekends, if still nowhere.. put it back to how it was, and then get it done professionally.

This way, i dont break the most important things.(engine, or stuff up my breaks which i NEED to work)

i give it a shot, if i cant do it.. well then i sit at the shop and watch, normally they dont mind ;)

so then I can see where I was going wrong, or why it wouldnt work for me.. so 1) its a cheaper if i can successfully DIY, 2)I give it a shot anyway, 3) I learn more about my cars, so in future i save more money.

:rofl::P

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
