Some stoked math, which may, or may not be flawed.

Average torque increase of 49 (ish) nm, or 29%.

Max tq increase of 61 (ish) nm was at about 2250, or 36%.

LOL, my math might be flawed, maybe, it does seem right.

Note to self: Grow up and "don't" use launch control and FFS at every opportunity.

congrats :)

now you can maybe chop Honda wankers

Actually, I would be ecstatic if SAUNSW did another Texi so I could do mad skids and run over some cones.

As for chopping shit, I'm always up to chop someone, well someone who doesn't know it's a race anyway, I find it easier to win that way.

Do it, gotta keep up to my wife's Tiguan 

Currently, I believe, your wifes Tiguan has more power and better fuel economy than my 86, LOL.

In the end I just need more power for good skids, not epic power skids, just good skids.

 

Skids are fun...

Should have done it before the tune.

Nah, I will procrastinate about ACE headers, clutches, flywheels, injectors, AOS and flex for a few months at least.

If I can swing it maybe even slugs and rods, but that starts to cost really big dollars.

How much is that Harrop kit? I imagine it will become quite popular

It's been floating around for a few years, cost, $8.5k ish, install isn't tricky.

Turbo (quality) costs roughly the same.

    • 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
