Alrighty in about 6 weeks I will have some extra money to do one last performance mod(s) before I focus more on the exterior of the car.
Here is what I have so far
K&N ram pod
Pacemaker Extractors
Lukey High Flow Muffler
70mm Oversized Throttle Body
Greddy Emanage

I will have about $1000 to spend on finishing the performance for the time being, obviously I want to get teh best bang for my buck out of this cash

Car is a TH 3.5 auto

Any help appreciated
Paul

Paul I think your next step would be Cams. I think thats the only way your going unleash the fury of your 3.5 and get something decent out of it for the money you will spend.

Or you could quit on performance and start looking at some seriously sexy rims :D

Best of luck mate, when we gonna see you on a cruise?

Yeah I was thinking Cams but they might just be out of my price range, we will have to see.
Cruise? Well Im sick of my job and sick of workin on the weekends so as soon as I get a new job where I can work during the week then I will be coming, hopefully this is very soon :confused:

Can I ask how much youv'e spent on these mods so far?

Regards,
Kai

yeah thats fine:this all includes installation
K&N ram pod: $200
Pacemaker Extractors: $450
Lukey Muffler: $200
70mm Oversized THrottle Body: $250
Greddy Emanage: $1200
TOTAL: $2300

Not that bad i suppose

thats basically what im gonna do to my car.

What about ralliart cams? buy and install for about $1100 I think.
Also I was thinking about getting a 50-100 hp shot of nos.$1000 diy
How does your car go?Does your auto go crazy and not change properly?

Awesome. Thanks Paul. Getting the wife to approve the $$ for a Magna looks even more promising.

hey mate, anyone can answer this. With 140kw@wheels with a 5 speed box what sort of 1/4 mile times would you expect? keep up the good work champ! :thumbsup:

Paul, just curious as to where you got the TB from????

i would say go for head work or a cam, but head work can get a little expensive if you want it to, so i would go with cam.
If you are in Melbourne contact Wade Cams:

Tel: (03) 9568 0333

and have a talk to Keith and you might be able to get a good Cam with them pretty cheap, Wade has some good cams, and i have heard many people be pleased with the cams they get from them, and if your not in Melbourne, i think they can get it sent pretty cheap for ya, give em a call see how it goes.

Aussie Magna: Sorry I had to edit your post as its edvertising :doubt: You can still contact Wade Cams though.

i'd go the ralliart cams next if i was u :cool:

I contacted them last week and they don't have any for Magnas.

My first thought was, Out with the auto box and in with the 5 speed manual.
You get much more power to the ground with the manual plus it is much more fun :D .
Probably more reliable too with that much power.

The cams would be good but that might just be too much for the old auto.
Up to you. $500 for the ralliart cams. not including the install. They would give you 20-30 Kw easy.

A fuel pressure regulator + another Greddy tune should unleash a few extra KW for not much $$$ at all. I don't know how much one is but surely you would get away with cost + postage + fitting well under $1000. :doubt:

Hope someone who has one sees this post and gives their view on the topic (or corrects me if I'm wrong) because a fuel pressure regulator is on my list of perfomance mods to do once factory warranty expires.

According to the RPW Price list PDF i got the other day, $350 +fit & click HERE (http://www.rpw.com.au/Products/Fuel%20Products/FSE%20FPR%20units.htm) for a discription of what they achieve. From that they pretty much iron-out flatspots.. on my "To Do" list fore sure.

I contacted them last week and they don't have any for Magnas.

yeah?, thats funny...., oh well, maybe they are still fine tuning the magna cams, i must have just heard they are experimenting with them then, coz i think i heard someone at wade getting a cam in his car..., i think it was something like that anyway, i'll try see what i can find out, but it's hard when your working all the time!, lol, anyway i'll try get on to em.

Well, there's a guy who's on here who works for them and owns a Magna. He's after something but not until the factory warrenty runs out so his car won't have one for a while but that doesn't mean they're not experimenting. Crow cams have billits but no profiles yet. They're looking at mild, medium an hot ones, one day.

Ralliart cams I'd imagine might be good for 5-10kw. The designer said they were only good for 5ish kW on the Ralliart but with this car, I'm sure they would be add a little more. Maybe 15 as a freak occurance and good tuning.

So how much are ralliart cams?
Do you need spring valve and cam gear upgrades?
How much they cost to fit?

Mitsubishi added uprated valve springs to the Ralliart Magna after durabillity testing in Japan concluded the stock valve springs were not sufficient :) I'd fit them if I got the ralliart cams :D

The durability testing was for ralliart standards, meaning racing/rally engine standards. they built engine capable of going all day around 6-7'000 rpm, thats why they even put in hyperuetectic pistons as well.
For a street engine that only gets occasionally revved out, using such a mild cam as the ralliart cam , i wouldnt bother with valvesprings. my engine is very happy running to 7'000 with no bounce.
I really wouldnt bother with the ralliart cams either, as they only meant to be good for 5 kw without the added compression and headwork. Any decent stage 1 grind should be good for around 10% and on a 150Kw engine thats 15Kw.
Having said that there are a lot of factory cams for sports models of cars that only add a few extra horses but give the engine a much nicer throatier sound and added revviness, i imagine thats what u would get from the ralliart cams. Plus u could also then have a fully legit ralliart badge or window sticker... :cool:

Ummm no they tested them for the Ralliart Magna, an everyday road car. And what do you mean occationally reved out? you don't built up an engine to occationally rev it out :bowrofl: If you search for more power you obviouslly enjoy giving your car a hard drive, meaning it will be revved out more than just occasionally. Plus the new found top end from the cams will make you venture up in the revs more often :badgrin: , So while the cams are getting replaced might as well have the assurence of uprated valve springs :D don't take short cuts
