Mines going towards my ski trip :/

But for you, injectors, EBC, nice turbo manifold

Injectors would be a total waste of money at this point considering the mods he has. Same can be said for a new manifold imo.

I have one of the $22 boost controllers that were the talk of the town on here a while ago. It does a pretty decent job of keeping boost. But I sometimes find the acceleration is not that smooth, so perhaps a tune would be in order?

You don't have anything to tune...

I'd throw a few hundred $ extra, get a pfc and a tune. 200rwkw.

the liability to pay tax on your earnings rests with you mate as you have to declare it in your income tax return. If you choose to work for cash (lucky you if you can I am spewing about the ludicrous amount of tax I will pay this year) then you already have an advantaged over not giving 30, 40, 45% to the taxman, so you cannot be too aggrieved about not getting a hand out.

On the other hand, I am f**king pissed, I have paid over $60k in tax this year so far and I aint getting shit, who the f**k paid for all these handouts in the first place....... its bullshit

the answer to your question, "who paid for these handouts..", is... you, and other tax payers !!. it took ten years to build up the 'kitty' [$50 bn]; it's taken a Rudd-erless labour govt only one and a bit years to spend it all. it's bullshot with a capital 'B'. Australia is now broke, along with the rest of the world.

Yes its a retarded effort by the government.

I say get something as simple as an SAFC2. If your only making 160rwkw atm then a stand alone is a little over the top, I put an SAFC2 on my old RB20 with 25 turbo, 3" system, front mount and 11psi and it made 245rwhp through the auto. Picked up 35 hp just from the SAFC tune and the car was incredible to drive, so smoothe etc.

That way you can spend the left over money on what ev

Yes, if he had the money.

But with only the money from the Government, I assume a full ECU is out of the question, and with the limited mods its not necessary yet. a $300 SAFC is going to be a far better option in the short term, will give you probably just as good results with the mods he currently has, and still lots of money left over for a tune with the SAFC, and probably installation costs if he cant wire it himself.

K Rudd gave careful consideration to the current market price of a full ecu tune when deciding on the stimulus package payment amount, true story.

Rumours flying around Parliament House suggest that he actually prefers Power FC's and is an RB30 sackrider.

Just realised you actually have a turbo back exhaust! LOL :wave:

To stay inside $900, Decat or Highflow Cat, Fuel Pump save the rest towards an ECU and tune. Probably wont be long and you will need a new clutch too :P

You; SAFC & SITC, service and tune. If any left buy a beer.

Me; Plane ticket return to Fiji hopefully. If not, my RX2 13bt needs the GT42R fitted to it and a tune! If all else fails, I will be buying plenty of Scotch and Dry!!

safc's work well on 20s because they dont go R+R as badly as 25s do. i had the same thing on my old 20 and made the same power. i was going to get a safc for my 25 but later discovered it wouldnt do too much. stock 25 ecus are simply too retarded, literally

and its good to see kevin07 sticking with labour tradition and wasting all the money from budget surplus's under liberal. good stuff kev, keep up the good work :blink:

IMHO: A combination of the following. If any money left over have a power run and see what a/f ratios/power etc are. From there on you could decide on ecu/injectors/clutch etc.

1) Splitfire coils

2) Decat or hi flow cat

3) Gizzmo MS-IBC boost controller

4) Oil cooler

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
