Who does the work though.

Less a Haltech PS2000 and the install and tune + markup! = $16,000 left. Then shipping/duty $14,000 left. Then workshop fee's for motor removal and install = $13,000 left. Then exhaust = $12,000 left. Fuel System = $10,000 left. Misc = $9,000 left

You now have $9,000 left to get to 800hp reliably!....how much are the 3.8lt or 4.2lt conversions? and then how much is turbo kit from the workshop going to charge?

Like I said 20K with you doing most of the work is good for at least 800HP.....a workshop doing most of the work at least 600HP....and I am talking with reliability.

1. Never said that the workshop would be doing all the work - that'd be the money burner

2. No chance I'd pay $4k for the Haltech (ViPec installed and tuned for $2k down here)

3. Stroker kits can be had for under $5k depending on what you want or 700hp rated built VQ35 for $10k (plus shipping - yes I know you have to supply a VQ35).

4. All I am saying is for $20k, you could get around 600-700hp* from a VQ35 no problem... reliably

* actually I said big power... but I'd say that 600-700hp from a 3.5L V6 is big power... well it is to me anyway :whistling:

BUMP

Ok...

I've been reading through this thread with interest as I've spoken to a few tuners over here in W.A and very few have had experience with the VQ25det engines. I had one guy who said a lot of the cost would be on r&d so if I can find out specifics then he can cost it up for me.......... I've been looking to do this for a while now but its probably just getting to the point where there is enough info available....

I'm getting everything done at one time and then thats it, set and forget.

I'm not very mechanically minded so bear with me

Budget 8-10k

Wanted power 270awkw and 800nm

Things I know I need:

Hi flow turbo ( What core is best - I want early spool if possible)

Full custom TBE

Emanage ultimate ( Was told by 2 people it's not a good unit )

EBC (Best type?)

HDI Intercooler

Fuel Pump

Injectors ( Which ones )

Anything else I've missed?

Any other mods I can get them to do at the same time for more power earlier (something mentioned earler in the thread - A mod by Scotty but I didn't quite understand )

Throttle restriction removal ( Cut cable ?)

He's probably trying to sell his car again. :P

nah....just cannot be bothered type up the +'s and m -'s of each turbo......oh and what you have to do to get em working properly.

e.g. Don't waste your time going for my turbo if you don't have some way of sorting out the low end restriction/s.

why not? I thought it would be the better option as you can spool on stall.

bush bearing wont in the same size..

      Cold Start Rattling Sound

      By silviaz · Posted

      So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4

      Yeah I’ll know when I take it for a test drive and I’ll double check the turbos as well when I have a look at it again.  Just thought maybe they might have done something in the head cause it looks like they’ve taken off the rocker covers 🤔 Thanks for your info!

      As Duncan mentioned it's likely a remapped ECU, like the the one listed in the link I post earlier:  https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/444260/car/444612/2099320/parts.aspx He quoted 444PS with an unopened engine and twin GT2510s @ 1.1bar boost... sounds about right?
