New to www.calaisturbo.com.au? (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au?) Want a rough idea on what mods can be done and for how many dollars? Read on..... VL Turbo's are relatively easy to gain power upgrades with minimal cost and effort. If you are new to the VL Turbo scene here are a few modifications you should look at and the power range you will achieve. Note, these are rough estimates only. Performing modifications does not guarantee power rating. Every dyno will read differently, the best and most accurate way or measuring power is on the quarter mile. Basic Modifications: - 3 Inch exhaust from turbo back - Front mount Intercooler - Adjustable boost control - K & N Panel filter You will be looking at about the $1000 mark for something like this. It is always recomended when increasing boost levels past factory levels to have the car put on a dyno to check Air : Fuel ratios. Further modifications for power in the 200 rwKw – 230rwKw range - Aftermarket ECU example link or microtech to remove AFM. - Larger injectors for example 444cc up to 600cc - Highflow T3/T4 turbo - Larger fuel pump like a 984 or 044 - TX1/TX2 cam shaft upgrade You will be looking at around the $2500 mark. Prices indicative of parts only not labor. For Labor prices you are best advised to contact your local workshop for an accurate quote. 250rwKw + Range - Aftermarket ECU for example microtech, motec, Vipec, Link ect - GT35/40 turbo - Port and Polish head - TX2 cam as minimum (or equivalent) - Rebuild bottom end if needed with forged pistons. - Surge tank and 044 pump - 600cc injectors as minimum - Adjustable fuel regulator - Appropriate gearbox to suit (Auto manualised ect, Manual with HD+ Clutch) - Rebuilt VL Turbo diff Price will range anywhere from $6000-$12000 depending on new or used parts. The gearbox will be your most expensive item if you are wanting a built auto. They range around $3500-$5000 for the box, converter and tail shaft. Obviously costs are rough only, you will be able to do it more cheaply using second hand parts and doing your own labor. Always remember though, the poor man pays twice!

Good write up Charles. Others PM charles if you want to add anything. eg an E85 Guide.

The K&N filter by itself wouldnt do much, you really need to open up the air box or go through the guard with a hole saw.

thanx foor the help

Hi guys just curious to know approx rwhp that my set will make i got: front mount 3inch turbo back microtech lt10s- t3/t4 tx1 cam 044 external 660cc injectors LW5 turbo motor mx7 thanks

What's a tx1/tx2 camshaft?

and remember don't deal with dodgy people! this is a good guide that can be referred to and read in like a minute or so, should stop threads from being made...

http://www.etstreet.com/index.php?/t...s-in-the-know/ (http://www.etstreet.com/index.php?/topic/7351-calling-all-vlt-buffs-in-the-know/) this is a more in depth explination , this is the one ANK has mentioned

As it says above Ank, feel free to post up more info and we will add it to the thread. This is a quick refference thread to stop all the threads asking "How much power will my highflow make?" ect, but feel free to add.

best car to look at for bang for buck is mkdjet berlina turbo head has not even been off the car !! they removed the engine mount bolts and jacket the car up to change the cam!!! (jacking the car up lets the cam clear the rad support) i will post up a detailed thread on bang for buck very soon the motor is at the engine builders now but the build is at 6k at the moment including purches of car AND 3 speed KEAS jatco(og paul from keas) some basic stats on the car are ltx10, 1000cc 2x044 custom wade cam (1147 but changed slightly) also had to buy a 28 spline lsd billet fuel rail aiming for 10's with the car Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

im confused on basic mods, how is that attainable for $1000? my exhaust was $1200 alone

Hey mate, with an aftermarket ECU, 044 pump, 600cc injectors, surge tank, 3" exhaust and the standard T3 i should be able to get 200rwkw shouldnt i?

yes

this is my set up and what i made. hiflowed T3 2.5'' exhaust (from when it was N/A) 600x300 front mount 12.5 pounds of boost stock computer and turbo injectors small porting done to head, stock vlt cam also its manual just a pod at the moment suckin in hot air and it made 205rwkw on 12.5 psi and on 10 it made 193rwkw

hey all dont know if this is the proper thread to ask this but here goes a friend of mine has a VLCT and his got a full built motor ,cams stg 2,c4 transbraked,xf throttle body, 044 pump,surge tank 550cc injectors,35/40 turbo 22psi c16 tuned on slicks , was putting out 304rwkw in manual form,on 20psi, his forever askin me what times he'd run anyone got any ideas as im no mechanic any help would be great

hey does any one have a rough idea on what this setup would pull?: standard T3 3" mandrel bent straight through (dumped at diff) Turbo ECU + Injectors GKteck front mount cooler turbo running on 11psi and this is on a high compression n/a motor

i would think around the 160-180 mark. through an auto. maybe a bit more through a manual
