SupraAyf Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Guys, I visited a tuning garage yesterday in the south (seemed very reputable but not one that I've ever heard mentioned by fellow club members) and they quoted me a price of £1700 (just under) for the following kit to be fitted (labour and VAT only with a few parts apparently to help fit the stuff - oil and gaskets etc): 1. Injectors (already flow tested). 2. Aeromotive FPR and fitting earls. 3. Walbro 342. 4. double de-cat 5. safc-2 6. IK22's 7. BCC 8. Hybrid Stage 3 turbos ......................and the dyno session to sort things was included in the 1700 notes price tag. I don't have much time or space for DIY jobs but I've done things like IC's, DSBC's, bodykit, engine polishing and maintenance etc but I've had the car for 30 months and just want it finished. Do you think this is a fair price and what would you experts say that this should cost me. Cheers everyone:help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Can I ask which garage that is mate? Seems like a good price to me edit: no its not a good price lol I didn't read the thread properly seems a bit on the dear side TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Id say they seem to think theyve seen you coming! That labour charge is unreal! Have a word with a few of the traders on here instead... EDIT: ask them for a time breakdown for each job - I really cant believe that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I'd say that was too much, For example, the cost of a second hand engine engine, full services parts, and labour on my FTO cost only just a tad more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 I couldn't believe it myself when he first gave me the estimate. I wouldn't care but all of the 8 items of kit that I've mentioned on my original thread have already been purchased and are sitting in my boot. If time was on my side, I would do the rest myself but the fuel stuff is something I don't want to play with. Could you imagine it in the next "Was It You" section of the Mkiv forum: Red Supra in a fireball on the M25!!!!!! I'll drop the name of the company soon guys but its in Aldershot.........

SimonB Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Doesn't sound too bad since a dyno session was included too, remember taking the stock turbos off and then effectively putting them back again is a big job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I'll drop the name of the company soon guys but its in Aldershot.........That'll be Tuning Japanese then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 There's a fair amount of work time there, and as the others said the fuelling all needs setting up etc. Not the kind of money I'd want to spend though unless it was top dog tuning co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 that's way to much, do most of it yourself and just pay a decent garage for the turbo swap perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Jake, You know your stuff m8:thumbs: The actual estimate was: Labour: £1050. Dyno: £220 Parts: (£150) - i.e oil and gaskets & VAT taking it up to £1670.00 That'll be Tuning Japanese then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Cheers Terry. I've had a quick look at previous threads in order to get a clear idea of what the company was/is about. I'll have a chat with Phoenix or Paul Whiffen to get my motor sorted. Thanks for your help mate!
