i found a place that does them www.etronicauto.com . they don't advertise them on their website, but i emailed them last week and they said can modify them for an extra $35 on top of the $275 for a standard set.

yer, the autoshop website has instructions on how to install the sets they sell, the demo car is even a R33. but if you are still wary about doing it yourself, any autoelectrican would be able to do it. i'll be doing mine myself though. if you really want, maybe getting some help at one of the dodgy mechanic days is an idea, would save the cash on paying for labour for the autoelectrican.

theres a place on evans road in salsibury, does calibration and wil;l install the guage faces for you, linol otto calibrations, or something to that effect. Quite cheap too.

did you use these guys for blacky?

do you know how much the calibration is? if not i'll give them a buzz

Im pretty sure Rory would be able to help you out, as for calibration, just make sure the needle is in the exact same place before and after installation maybe place a marker.

That only works it you get the standard 180km/h speedo dials, i'm looking at getting a 300km/h speedo, which requires the speddo sender signal to be modified (calibrated) to the new scale on the dial. installation isn't a problem for me, just getting it calibrated. dale (my bro) put 300km/h dials into his gtir 6 months ago. think think toby may have helped him. he just needs the cabilration done also. i believe all they do is put a resistor into the wiring.

i fit them myself, but if i was doing it again i would be getting them to do it as the speedo never worked properly i broke a little spring in it.

50 bucks for calibration of tacho and speedo, and not sure if they did temp, fuel and oil pressure but they all seemed to work good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
