Voodoo Vix Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I'm a fan of shinys also, that's lovely Quote
leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 only problem is i think its missing the gasket !?!? not too sure , and a screw is missing should be 7 not 6 but i reckon it should be okay if not i ll order spare crews off their site and the gasket Quote
andlid Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Is that the version 1 one? Bits for it look a bit different from mine, the gasket should be some type attached to the bottom is on mine, not sure ifthey skipped that onthe v1. at least you got some install tools You'll hear a nice wooooshy sound after you install that and the engine will be a bit cooler then before. You going for a tune or just installing for looks and sound? Quote
Jay Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Ohh nice one leon........... I like it very much.... I think you should give it to me and il put it on my zed........ Thn you can my my zed Quote
MLC35 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Once that is on please post a pic of it place - cos i reckon i want one, but need to know what it looks like. (I dont know what it does or where it goes, but i want one).... Quote
coldel Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 You can buy an engine cover as well for this from Kinetix, it is larger than the stock one and fills the hole that is invariably left after the install. Quote
leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Andlid - Yeah version one i believe i sent Protegimus a pm but i think hes still busy. on the site they do sell the gasket seperately but for $50 delivery when the thing costs $20 then im waiting to see if i really need one. the engine cover is this one i believe http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_35 ... cover.aspx, which im ordering next week when i get paid. planning to tune the engine my mind is pretty made up on going FI just cant decide supercharge or turbo route. but before that im getting some art pipe and a certain motordyne exhaust, which i reckon will make me one of the very few or even first to have that exhaust in the uk. . MLC35 - no problem mate taking it my mates in a hour so he can have a look at it, and see if i should get the gasket. and if its fitted ill post it up. Jay - Lol no chance unless you wanna give me say 550 glrnet - i take it you was gonna buy it too Quote
glrnet Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 No, I just love shiny things too, I'm so shallow Andlid - Yeah version one i believe i sent Protegimus a pm but i think hes still busy. on the site they do sell the gasket seperately but for $50 delivery when the thing costs $20 then im waiting to see if i really need one. the engine cover is this one i believe http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_35 ... cover.aspx, which im ordering next week when i get paid. planning to tune the engine my mind is pretty made up on going FI just cant decide supercharge or turbo route. but before that im getting some art pipe and a certain motordyne exhaust, which i reckon will make me one of the very few or even first to have that exhaust in the uk. .

leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 its cool ill post up my exhaust when it comes Quote
Jay Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I still think you should just buy my zed Quote
leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 ill give you my special chicken satay with fried rice ( G man and neil will hunt me down for this comment lol ) for your head light bargain if you ask me, my shops satay is like boost, once you have it you want more!!! what you planning to get next ? Quote
Jay Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 You can shove your satay mate haha I prefer Jap satay Not sure mate toying with a few ideas at the mo Quote
andlid Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 You'll need a gasket unless you plan on using it on a tube, be aware that those things crack (v1) with higher boost pressure so might not be suited for FI. Think they warrant it at 15psi but not sure they'll take that. I got the v2 and it's warrantied to 30 which I'll never see... enjoy it! It's easy to fit too and you get more room in the engine bay upgrading other bits down the line too. Quote
leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 whay do you mean on the tube ( sorry still kind of new to tuning ) FI isnt going to be done till another two years, or until i know im going to graduate from uni with no problem. so you think its best not to put it on without the gasket atm Quote

The plenum spacers sold use that normally including the use of the OEM one, It's easy to take it off though if the tube one doesn't work. Personally I'd go for the real gasket. Quote
leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 hmmm my just phoned my mate he said hes gonna use the squeeze out stuff till my gasket arrives looks like ill be ordering one, along with the cover. cheers again mate. what other mods you reckong i should get to see more benefits on a remap. currently plan is art pipes ( motordyne ) and the MD TCX V2 exhaust Quote

andlid Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 04 gt model uk spec apexi drop in filter, bicky's velocity stack mod, that md exhaust is seeeeeeeexy! Thought they'd stopped producing that, think it'll be a bit loud Uprev tune on the cards to get the best out of the engine afterwards. You might want to figure out how to get the car through MOT without the cats... Quote
leodspider Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Spoke to mark from Abby he said he can get it, just hope he can gonna order it later next month 1.5 k is alot of money lol. Not worried about Mot my mate will sort that out. But the noise with the art pipes might actually cause deafness on motorway journeys. Seeing as the exhaust itself is ott Quote
