do i upgrade my standard ecu to microtec and all the injectors first or do i do my engine and microtec all at once and how much would it cost to do a nice engine eg. forgies, rods, cam and price of doing the microtec and injectors oh and what i would like to know what inlet and exaust manifolds would be best to use and prices if posible and what rwhp u think i could get out of a gt30/40r with 1.06 rear housing and a rough estimate of a time i could get with the hp in a manual since i am in europe atm won't be starting any of this for a month or 2 but would like to find out these things b4 i get back Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/search.php? alot of questions there, easiest for me to answer is a nice bottom end $4500, 6boost manifold $1200, JD plenum $700, microtech lt12 and injectors 2k, you r talking about $20,000 setup!, 5 speed and that turbo shoud put u in mid 11s on slix if u can drive

Zac, your best bet is to grab some gear off the site here, as I see things pop up every now and then like bottom ends, manifolds etc.

get a tough auto built with a nic stall 2800 etc, my mates has a stock vl with front mount and a tough auto and has run a best of 13.01 in darwin running 15psi so i changed my whole idea of mods, good auto and stall!

Zacs car already has the following GT35/40 roller with 1.06 rear im pretty sure Turbonetics gats 4inch exhaust front mount Na motor with a na 5speed hes already got the basic goodies but he will need a strong motor plus fuel and intake setup, and a mx7. Zac is also a mess when he drives, its either all or nothing, and i must admit he is pretty good at handling a vl at high speeds facing gutters.
