Any idea who can do custom bonnet work in Perth? either modify my bonnet or make me a custom one out of fibreglass or something??

HELP!

ive got a 4" grinder here thatd do a fine job

what sort of customise are you lookin for its easy as to cut afew holes then glue mesh underneath cheap too

or for vents and the like try some of the bigger bodykit shops good place to start

then of course theres always the mighty internet stores garanteed to have sumit

Need to gain about 40mm down the middle section of the bonnet.. looks like I'm probably going to have to get a vented fibreglass bonnet O_o

[alpinestars]

cheaper to buy one thats vented that is either carbon of fibreglass dude not worth the cost of getting one made

[bubba]

Yeah that's what I'm discovering went to see a few shops yesterday.. I shall stuff around with the piping tonight and see if I can get away without modifying the bonnet..

It will be a toss up between the cheapest way to go.. custom bonnet, whole fibreglass bonnet, custom piping/forward facing plenum.. the last option really steps away from the "stock" under bonnet look I was hoping to maintain but oh well.. you gotta do what you gotta do

could buy a buldge or something ba xr8 STYLE not the same but yer gettin that put on your your original bonnet wouldnt cost much. Are you looking to get more clearance for I/C piping or high mount orrr something else? or you could raise your bonnet at the rear with rubber washers so it is kinda on an angle depending how much room you need to make

Need to make room for the RB30 that is now under the hood at the moment it's hitting on the stock bov and the cooler pipe that goes over the fan and connects to the crossover pipe.

Going to try a 25det crossover pipe, that should buy me 20mm maybe and I'll get a couple of 45deg and a 90deg silicon bend and some more 2.5" pipe and attempt to get that pipe over the fan lower.. with a bit of fiddling I should be able to get it back down to where it was before the 30 went in.

Cool, I spoke to the guy at GT Fibreglass aswell - he put a BA bulge in a friend of a friends' EL bonnet. If my piping adventure isn't succesful I'll be ringing around

Whats been done to the 30?

Whats been done to the 30?

Set of forgies and just running everything that was on my rb20, standard injectors, rb25 turbo etc. Will be running a bigger set of injectors and a z32 afm when it gets tuned in a couple of weeks.

known 'problem' with teh extra deck height of the rb30 in the 32's

if i remember rightly from what ive read the stock cross-over pipe should work with a 'massage' (ie read bash) of the reinforcing bars on the underside of the bonnet

[bubba]

It's not so much the crossover pipe that's the problem, the crossover pipe is no higher than the strut brace that I had to remove. It seems to be mainly the location of the rb20 bov, also hitting on cooler pipe across the top of the fan. Will attack it with some fresh piping
