TransGo shift kit can usually be found on Ebay for around $140. Other option is Nomad valve body for close to $1200..
Not too difficult to drop the valve body and do yourself if you're familiar with this kind of thing.
Don't bother if the box has 200 + kms..
A lot of work to change a camshaft for limited returns and you wouldn't get much benefit without an engine management system. You can't modify the TB45 ECU.
TB45 engines respond well to forced induction.
Cheers for the info might have to look at forced induction bloody spewin just fair few bob putting another motor into it sounding like a should of done a 5.7 conversion
bolt a turbo to it with some head work and extractors
could see you pulling 250rwkw easily
What will be the difference between a transgo shift kit to the nomad valve body apart from the price
Bloody hell 6.5k for a turbo kit and would I need a piggyback ecu
If you're serious about wanting to turbo it, have a look at my turbo install thread in the DIY section. I changed my mind and went to diesel so now all my turbo gear is for sale including the Xede piggyback.Quote:

Here's an overall pic of most of the stuff..

I have used both. I installed my own TransGo kit and used it for a few years. I still have the valve body here with it fitted.Quote:

I was expecting the Nomad to be a lot crisper but honestly there's not a big difference between the 2.
What would that be worth caught between a rock and a hard place deciding whether to look round for diesel but open to all ideas
$1000
Converting to diesel is not cheap especially if you want to go to factory turbo and keep the auto.
Mine has cost me $10k but that was my initial budget anyway and I did everything myself.
Where bouts are u based
1000 the lot sounding like a deal to me now to work out how to pay
$1000 is what the Xede piggyback alone costs today..Quote:

So for a package what would u sell it for ,was it a package that u bought or just bits and pieces along the way cheers
Not sure I understand the question on package. I'm asking $1000 for that lot of items. They go a long way towards a turbo installation but it's not a bolt up package. You will need a manifold and an intercooler and fittings.
This is just a real cheap way to get a foot in the door..
Have you read my turbo install thread?
Planned on having a good read of it this weekend sorry for the confusion have no idea what's involved with turbos but I'll give your thread a read get a better understanding. And everything in the photo u posted is for a 1000 ?
Yes, if you take a look at the last post I did recently in my turbo thread, I've itemised the stuff I'm selling.
Did anyone find out what the difference was between the tansgo kit and wholesale automatics nomad valve body? From what i have found they are the same but different. The same mods have been done and what the kits has but the befit is that its already done just bolt in and go.
If any one has more info or i am totally wrong please feel free to correct me
