Hi Guy

[InsaneAsylum]

my CAI is work about $4 per kw... that's pretty good value*




*guestimate figures only

[blackastraclassic]

so if ebay is a taboo ....where can I get a chip and is it easy to install...or should a pro do it.??

[InsaneAsylum]

well it depends if you want a chip or an "interceptor"/"piggyback" ecu

occasionally you can find the real thing on ebay, but most of them are just gimmicks.

do a search for supercharger. there's an elecrtic supercharger on there now that's gone up to $700+

[oneightoo]

dont be fooled by the exhaust supercharger.. some weird thing that sits inside your exhaust pipe and air intake..

[blackastraclassic]

just found a guide on how to make a cold air intake....will give it a go over the weekend....how much do you reckon I'll be up for for a two inch pipe and a muffler that's not going to sound like every other ****heads car....I just want a nice grumble not a flatout roar...sorry for those of you that like the roar

$400is wat i paid for on my car. cat back. but that was 2.5" on an SRi T

[blackastraclassic]

where do you guys get most of your parts???

[oneightoo]

i make my own or find a fabricator, for generic bits and pieces i go to supercheap or auto barn for things like air filters, plugs, leads etc.

[rusole21]

wat parts? oh yay i just became a member instead of a junior member
like wat the guys said, try bunnings for your flexy pipes or a auto parts shop. also repco has heaps of intake parts. look in the turbo section at my new air intake to see my intake. mine is turbo but you can make wat you want to have less restricted air go into your motor.
also look up 'engine bay pics' and look at wat one guy did to his 1.8 liter astra.

[oneightoo]

anything you can buy from repco or supercheap etc, you can make from material found in your local hardware at a fraction of the cost.. it doesnt look as pretty but does the same thing..
