Mal. Good to see you joining the forums and check the WA section for information on the next cruise. We have one coming up this Friday and another in March. Would be good to see another Soarer out with us all!

Welcome Mal, good to see another Perth owner on here. What sort of kit is that mate? looks a bit similar to a bomex. Try and come to the next cruise, sounds like it's gonna be a fairly good turn out. Dave G

Hi guys, I am East (Hills) Maida Vale to be exact. My kit is bomex style, not sure if it is a copy or original?? I am trying to import some kits from china and will be replacing the current kit due to the age and hair line fractures through the front after a crash I had a few years back.

The pipe work I did myself and plan to do the injectors too, takes a bit of work and patients but the rewards are great.

The engine bay is gonna get chromed as much as possible. I need to purchase some:
braided radiator hoses $130 - $180

Polish the injector housing - Free ( have the gear already otherwise about $150 plus time

New Oil Cap and Radiator cap for looks - $80 - $100 from Auto Pro

Replace rubber air intake pipes with S/Steel pipes not sure of price. Guesstimate $150 - $280

Give Brake oil Resevoir a paint over with chrome paint $23 for new can of spray paint and about the same for clear coat.

After this it's the Front Wheel Bearings $600 - $800 roughly

Then the Fun begins...and the dreams. :-)

New intercooler Most likely a Saber $660 Bugger off the Jappy crappy intercooler.

http://www.modyourcar.com.au/saber-r-spec-intercooler-kit--toyota-soarer-twin-turbo-p5150?aff=gp&utm_source=getprice&utm_medium=cpc

Then Single stage Turbo T3 most likely, simply because the T4 seems to be 'all or nothing', don't get me wrong great boost potential out of the T4 but I prefer not having my eyeballs come out of the back of my head when I hit boost. (enter mental image of spaceballs movie warp drive scene)

After this it's bigger injectors not sure what type yet. at the same time might think about swapping the 1j to a 2J (Ohh big bucks for that idea)

Would then need to put a shift kit in for the Auto and a new ECU to support the Turbos and injectors.

But I;ll just see how I go for now. Will keep this page updated on any changes I make.

Hmm better check the piggy bank...

hmmm not sure...I'm not a professional polisher...(that sounds suss!)

Best to do it through a metal polishing company

Perhaps google "metal polishers and finishers Perth"

Theres plenty around and they can have the pipes back to you within aa few hours. took me about 5-6 hours with crappy gear.

I pulled the pipes off myself and got some polishing gear from Bunnings. They're the originals.

If your interested in doing it and don't mind showing you. but I just don't have the time to do it myself.
