If you read the Description to the video I give a break down on costs. It was, for us, just a smidge under $30k. But then I had to “de-tune” the car so another remap and associated cost. I did 2 follow up videos on this conversion too. kennym
Im looking forward to your next video, thankyou for making this informatiin available. I have a 79 and the wife can't drive a manual and she would love an Auto. Also what brand is your ashtray switch surround I need to put in more switches and have no spaces left, this would be great.
Do you think you may need to upgrade the size of your snorkel now? Looking at the size of that Fatz pipework, I'm having trouble believing that the snorkel is capable of supplying enough air.
The size of the cold side (to the turbo) does not “regulate” how much air is inducted. Tricky sensors (MAF/MAP) help the ECU map out AFR. My tune is not sooo aggressive that I need a better air box or snorkel. The air load required to service the tune I have is adequately serviced by the cold side intake system. 22 March the cruiser gets de-tuned” so I am not loading the AB60 Auto input more than Wholesale have advised. Conversely, if I had been chasing 1000nM++ I’d have thrown +30 injectors in, replaced the air box and snorkel and looked at a fuel pump with greater volume capacity (and I’d also need to change the OME 2 micron fuel filter because that is a real inhibitor of fuel flow). In short, nope, the snorkel is more than adequate 👍
The Gearbox/transfer case and associated parts have all sold 👍

Hey mate,
Thanks for the feedback. The switch panel is from PVR (their head unit too in my cruiser).
Hey mate how much does this conversion cost?
