i dont know about connectors and rings but i know you have to (or at least you used to have to) get piping made... if i remember correctly from other threads it needs tuning as this kit doesnt rely on a FMU to push extra psi through stock injectors and you need to tune for the upgraded ones. the emanage is xtra(incase you wanted to go w/ a different ems) but if you do order it through them i believe you get a base map to start from

 

I have stayed out of this thread mainly due to the BS factor that I am seeing in here. IN all honesty, the lancer forums has become very Aggressive and inflammatory lately, and not very friendly.

As our kits have always been, they are designed as a mechanical kit. Ie we supply exactly as what is listed on our webiste, turbo manifold, garret ball bearing turbo, dump pipe, injectors, oil and water lines, fuel pressure regulator, blow off valve, nuts and bolts and some other minor things.

No we have never advertised piping, intercoolers or computers. Why woudl you want us to supply you a greddy emanage (Our preferred choice) all the way from australia when you can buy it cheaper in the USA. Intercoolers and piping, always shoudl be made on the car anyway for best results and again, why pay for something that can be sourced cheaper from the USA.

We do provide, for those using the greddy emanage a guideline and base line tune for the turbo kit.

We have sold plenty of these kits into the USA, but I am sorry to say that despite what people beleive, the lancer forums are not the centre of the universe for all lancer owners and many of our customers come to us from outside the forums due to many of the internal politics that are appearing here.

Your questioning of our product, products in general is unnecessary. Exactly as stated, Accolade is an importer of an existing product. If there is an isse they woudl contact us and we would provide advice etc if it is beyond there knowledge. As time goes on and they get more experienced, they will need to contact us less. This goes the same for any of our agents.

The point about this discussion was about a group buy, not about accolade as a company or anything else. If you are not interested in the group buy, then quite plainly, butt out, shut up and disapear. Us Aussies are known for our plain speaking -

As teh final comment, replies to emails, when you get 50 + emails a day, and try to run a business, lets see how long you can keep answering each one when say 25% of the ones yuo answered, come back again wanting more answers or asking more questions.

 

FInal thing - with teh group buy pricing, I have been working on the Mivec lancer the past couple of days finalising the computer tuning. I have the email from Accolade to organise the group buy pricing - will be looking into that today or tomorrow so bear with me.

 

any update on pricing......................?

 

Comedian - no still working on it. I am trying to incorporate the turbo group buy with teh ralliart lancer header group buy which will massivly reduce freight costs, and as well the lancer header 2.0 group buy. All in all one bloody big pallet of goods are going to be heading across to the USA in the next 6 weeks.

 

More cleaning. If you have a problem with RPW or Accolade, this is not the place for it.

 

If i have general concerns though it is the place for it. That's what the forums are all about.

Since it was stated i'll ask... There is no intercooler or piping offered with your kit? That's left up to the customer correct? So that cost mus be added to the cost of the kit to get an actual figure of the total cost to be boosted correct?

That being said... you offer injectors with the kit as well as a different FPR. With those installed you would need to have some sort of engine management to tune the bigger injectors and different FPR. So, even though it can be gotten cheaper here, the emanage or other tuning product must be purchased on top of the kit right?

This makes the total cost higher to be boosted right?

Just trying to get all my info straight on this. I don't care if i'm already boosted and i don't care if you think i shouldn't be in here asking these questions. No one else is asking them so i am asking them. For all you know i could be wanting to switch over to your kit! So don't give me a baby walk around routine... just answer the questions.

I know you are still working on pricing but my reseach has shown that to intercool a setup would cost about 300 on the cheap side and as much as 700 on the better side. Could be more just depends on intercooler and piping selection mostly. Then the tuning and management should be around 500-1000, again depending on what we use to tune and who tunes the car.

Low 800 bucks more to make the kit complete and workable...
High 1700 bucks to make the kit complete and workable...

This added to the cost of the initial purchase of your kit puts things into a different perspective. Not to mention shipping costs. How much will it cost to ship the kits to the US? Or will they ship from Accolade? All very pertinent questions and comments i feel.

If mods want to keep deleting pertinent posts then these forums are going right down the tubes. Let the vendors answer questions like these as they are important and do need to be known. Don't the mods want to protect the members?? Or is it all about protecting vendors??

 

That's what it sounds like here. You'd need to purchase in addition to their kit:

• Intercooler
• Piping
• Engine management of some sort

So, yeah, for those considering this kit, be sure to remember the extra costs associated with purchasing these additional items.

 

A lot of negatives i know...

Some positives...

Water and oil cooling provided.
Ball bearing turbo... little quicker spool and longer life??
Cast manifold... looks more stocklike than a tubular of log style.

Think that's good stuff. Just wish there was more...

 

We are looking to source the parts which are not practical to import from AUS, because we can do it cheaper here, thus all ends will be covered. prices to be announced..

 

if you are interested in upgrading to an RPW kit please let me know. thanks.

 

I just may... lets see what you come up with, in terms of a "complete kit" and not one that i have to piece together after spending 3k+ on it.

 

yeah after whats posted here im going to see the final price on this kit before buying it.

 

Edited:

Thought better about what I said. No place here for it.

WADAD

 

just so i got this straight. accolade is offering a complete turbo kit, consisting of the rpw stage one turbo kit. with some intercooler, piping and engine management from the u.s. at a group buy price. Great. whats so hard about this. this thread is crazy. i'd figure one would wait for a price and what is included in the kit. and then ask questions. i mean, why go through all that madness if you dont even know if you can afford the thing.
go on accolade do your thing and get us the best deal you can come up with. if it takes six months but you can make a better price. then so be it.
