Quote for 'Fully sick Magna'

[TunaFlyBattery]

This is the quote for new EFI Engine(I have carby At The Moment) that will take 16 PSI, Haltech E6H & a garret ball bearing turbo.

$7,300 All Up, that sound pretty good?

Engine put out over 200kW at the wheels.. well thats what i've been told, so I hope its right.

We could build a motor to handle the turbo application for around the
$2000.00 to handle up to 16 psi boost maximun.

From there a computer system like a Haltech E6H would set you back around
$1800.00 and we could design a turbo manifold and turbo, dump pipe for around the $3500.00 with a garret ball bearing turbo etc.

damn dan.. ditch the magna and get a exa hehehehe... just joking.. its got all the power it needs with the L.E.D.S hehehe

[NEWBIE]

shit, for those prices scrap the car..
after all its only a magna..lol:moonsmili

[TunaFlyBattery]

Ok, for that price, its ready to go on gas.. thats NOS not LPG (after LSD).

It'd be pretty beasty, even if I do get a new car(exa or skyline) im still going to do the magna up, its got enought power as it is, but I just want to see how far I can go with it.

[boostinhard]

Hey,
hehe yeah - would be beasty... But jusdt couple of things to consider... You could get the haltech a bit cheaper, the turbo doesnt have to be a brand new unit (Ie buy a $400 turbo), the manifold can be made at good exhasut shops for around $500 etc. You could take a good 2-3 grand off that price if you were keen...

Kewl, well cheaper is better, more $$$ for neons.. lol.

Waiting on a reply from them, ill ask them if they can do that instead.

Thanks.

I have to say man....... fuck you're keen doing that to a magna, out of all cars to do it to. But, I've had the same said to me about doing up my car.

Each to their own I guess.

(Btw, completely off the topic, can I ask: what the fuck does "tuna-fly-battery" mean or stand for, it seems like a bunch of completely random words shoved together, like chicken-fart-tyre? Not dissin you, but what the?)

[FLANO]

hahahahahahaha LOL!!!! chicken fart tyre hhehehe random words are amusing hehehe but eah ive wondered this for a while now hehe tuna fly battery

[GTS20tExa]

I can just picture Dan's Magna with 200 wheel kw's, lights go green and off goes the engine and wheels, leaving poor 3 diamond still at the line ;)

[TunaFlyBattery]

lol, yea it'd go something like that.
Argueing with the guys at RPW over price at the moment.

BTW, TunaFlyBattery was made the same as chicken-fart-tyre, was from a random generator, went thru a list of 1000 and this was my favorite.

What should I tell them? I don't mind spending so much on it, but is the price a decent price to pay for all of it?

I can assure you we are a Haltech Dealer and we are qouting standard Haltech prices. That price was not an exact price so it is probably a little cheaper.

Yes you could use a 2nd hand turbo that is correct and but you need a fairly large one usually a TDO5H which are hard to find.

The manifolds can be made at an exhaust shop but it comes down to qaulity.

no offence man.. but you'd have t be fuckin insane to turbo a magna.. if i had the cash to be thining about something like that... id be loking at buying either a skyline R32 gtst or a MR2 turbo and starting with something a little more performance orientated than a grocery getter.

hey.. ever considered a lancer GSR?? nice car.. AWD.. 1.8 comes boosted standard.. look the goods.. go well..

[TunaFlyBattery]

Works paying for the skyline, this is just something to fuck with and wreak instead of thrashing the skyline.

[exa18]

Nice one chicken-fart-tyre, sounds like a plan.

I think you should change your name on here to chicken-fart-tyre, now that's "twisted". Sorry, I'm just proud of my little random word thingy.

[deanowski]

I take it your pretty young, and everybody always luvs their first car, ireally wanted to do up my 75 rolla, but i was practically given my next car, then after that was a pulsar and then my exa, but truly once the magna's sold you won't miss it. Beside's they're so damn ugly, get some powa in somethin else

[Matt]

Bugger off the magna and get an 82 sigma. Looks better, goes better, rear wheel drive, cheaper parts, simple engine bay (old-school) design, lighter. My first car was an 82 GL model. Beautiful metallic green duco, 2.6L, 5spd manual, triple webers, extractors. My folks got it that way from factory. I miss that car - it went like the clappers. They are 80s cool (like an N13 exa) not 80s tacky (like a subaru vortex!). Cheap to insure too, and a cordia turbo will bolt on if you want boost.... :afro:

[boostinhard]

Hey,
no way matt. I love those Suby's!!! I reckon one dumped ould like sick. With a B4 motor under the hood and 2 Apexi Dunk mufflers out the back, it would look cool and go cool too... Damn it - buy one of them Dan!!!
Sam :dapimp

[KAMELEON]

lol matt mate when was the last time u saw 3 dual throat carbies on a 4? lol
my grandpa has one immaculate
and a guy at work with factory fitted sports lowered suspension and sports exhaust!
not bad

[Matt]

okay maybe it was 2 carbies.. havent seen that car for almost 5 years...

[ronin]

haha.. vortex's.. i nearly pissed myself when i first saw one.. was liek WTF is that.. a CRX on steroids or something??

B4 engine?? sam are you smokin something?? last you could do was share!! if i got teh cash to get a B4.. id be stickin with the B4, none of this transplant shyt.

[TunaFlyBattery]

lol, sounds like fun..

Waiting to see if I get a skyline or not.. If i do, ill have to get something else to Mod.
