Guys after many hours. I found these on ebay. U reckon these are cheap?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=33741

All the places in aus i rang said the 1 inch of silicone hose was like 15-20 bux. I cant vaouch for the quality of the ebay stuff but it seems i can get like 40 incehs for like 100 bux and 18 bux delivery whihc is like much cheaper than here.

Also found reducers for like 11 bux each. Her in AUS I was quoted like 40 bux a reducer. WTF :bs!:

Unless u guys can get me better im gonna go with these. When i start this project.

hey i noticed you fellas using mild steel piping, im currenltly in the process of removing this from my car after it has rusted and is blowing chuncks of shit into the engine, how are you guys getting around this?

waldo - did you paint the inside of the pipe as well ? I think I might try and paint the inside aswell.

A second set of hands does wonders.

To put the front mount on yourself, heres how i did it. sit on front for the bar with legs extended and place cooler on your knees. bend knees to lift cooler up and bolt it in. This was soooooooooo gheettooooo.

Well the cooler is on now on my car. will take pics.

anyone that wants to weld the pipes together yourself * hint * have lots of practice first.

I botch my job up, I used an arc welder $109 from repco * im poor, if i could get a mig i would *. so the rest of the welding was just to join the pipes together to hold and I placed the silicon hose over the top and bold it down.

I will also use the welder to put a lip on the pipes so that its harder to slip off.

pipes all up was $110 from livo exhuast

3#-> 2.5# reducer hose @ $25 each X 2- Shift perfomance

2.5 3inch hose @ @ 20 Each

t-bolt clamps @ $13 each X 12

bracket i made, its bolted on where the horn used to be

I grinded that lump to make the surface flat. and then painted it.

total days to install all by myself ? 4 dayssssss.............. got freakin sunburnt doing it tooo.

Hopefully i should have it completed tomorrow.

where did u buy piping and silicone from

it would be less for pipe work and silcone i paid around $240 all up

nozila- check lazy bastards pics out he was the one who did it before me on his 33 look up a couple of posts and u will see him

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
