Just picked up my car from the mechanic last night.

my car sounds so good above 4000rpm!

I got a spacer, z-tube and pop charger installed.

the pop charger sounds so awesome above 4000rpm....apparently these mods are meant to improve fuel economy...I can see its having the reverse effect!

In terms of sound, I highly recommend.

In terms of power gains? hard to say, Ill benchmark it against my mates car amd I'll find out

Awsum, how much did u pay all up and were bouts u get it done.

I got my service and install done at pro Concept West Ryde. They seem to be well regarded, and I agree. very professional.

parts were:

$295 for the motordyne iso thermal spacer

$295 for z tube and pop charger.

Standard install for spacer, tube and air intake is $140

But my spacer had an extra gasket and the popcharger had the heatshield...so was charged an extra 60 for the additonal labour needed ($200 total).

It will improve, But if you drive around with your RPMs above 4000????

Agreed~~ :)

planning for any exhaust mods? it would sound even nicer~ :)

gents,

the reason why I think fuel economy will decline.....

is cause I keep revving it above 400rpm, to hear that awesome growl!

4000?

shiiiiiet son I redline on take off! lol jokes

seriously though I'm getting an exhaust on saturday and I will be resetting my stock ecu so it can start remapping around the exhaust

no spare cash for an air fuel controller right now :)

congrats on the mods btw you seem very happy with them, any before and after dyno figures planned?

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
