Alright,

I'm seriously thinking about the CAPA Vortech kit for my BA 6 cyl.

I can get it installed by Marks Workshop in York for $7,500 (305kw non intercooled kit) or the kit itself from CAPA for $5,700.

Seriously, how hard is it to install this kit yourself. Anyone done it? Is the chip pre-tuned, or do you need a few hours on the dyno to get it all squared away?

I'm also thinking I might need to ditch the open diff and throw in a Limited Slip centre. I think 300 kw's may own a single 215 Dunlop!!!

Any ideas what sort of 1/4 time you would get from this setup?

Anyones thoughts would be appreciated.

use an edit for tuning, that way u can have 3 different tunes (eg. valet, daily tune and a race tune or economy tune) and an LSD would be a good idea to.
$1800 for install? i am sure u could get some mates to help u out to do it for a slab and a bbq on a saturday arvo

do you know if its 305kw at the wheels or engine?? i think it might be at the engine??
try fitting it yourself then get it tuned and save some money...

Yeah, it's definately at the engine. Still going to have drama's with an open diff I think tho! By rule of thumb, that's still 305hp at the wheels.

Still a fair bit of mumbo!

That will still be enough fun on the streets!
Yeah stuff that, they're ripping you for the install.
If you or your mates have a little car knowledge, you don't need much the it should be easy.
As everyone has said, you have a BA, you should get the Flashtuner.
By doing the install yourslef, you could get yourself half the flashtuner and a new LSD. Wouldn't Capa knock something off the price, if the kit included a chip or some sort.

hey mate, if your serious about this kit, we should get a group buy together and see if we can get the price for the kit down, i think there was a thread in here somewhere with a grouop buy
