 Been driving around with the lights and the light output is amazing i must say.

This is the light output vs new jeep stock xennons. It also is much better than my Evo X Xennons. You can also change the bulbs to Phillips ones which again will be much better:

Just an update decided to fix my airbox restriction issue, last time i was on Trent's dyno it was ~10rwkw restriction on the stock airbox.

Bought a 4 inch wide Pod and adaptor.

Got JDM Garage Melbourne to fit it up and do a custom airbox whilst retaining the snorkel and stock look due to VIC Police defects.

So one night decided to put the car on the roller dynos for fun.

Found out the car was leaning out due to the new airbox. Was also running out of fuel and couldnt lower the boost as the actuator was a 19 or 20psi one and was running at minimum boost.

So now got duel walbro fuel pumps and a Link G4 ecu. Need to get a new BOV as the current one is leaking.

 

Car still runs on the 5 year old bush bearing Hypergear ATR45 internally wastegaated stock position. E85.

 

Before the airbox it was ~360rwkw on a roller dyno and ~380rwkw on a hub. (racepace and trents dyno)

So about +60rwkw.

Just had a look through this thread, amazing stuff! I was wondering is that JDl Kit still available somewhere around here? I would love to get my hands on it.

Not sure sorry i imported from UK and pretty sure they stopped after my one as shipping was too much

Cheers, man. Yeah I have looked around and there is some places that sell it but the price is pretty high and I would have to get it piece by piece (bonnet here, bumper there etc.)

Get some black krinkle HTP on that airbox, it will look less "fabbed".

Well, in my mind anyway.

Hell, my old girl looked stock.....  :)

UNIGROUP built  it for me years ago, made a lazy 500hp.

 

It did have its issues, eating OEM manual gearboxes was one of them

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
