K Engine Extractor Price

[KE30Coupe]

Ohhhhhh shiney :P

 

 

Mikey, thanks for doing that mate :) I've been a bit busy and hadnt emailed him myself.

 

Let me know when you have a price although I think the cost from the US to Aus maybe a bit high but you never know.

[Nitephyre]

damn they look swoit@

[mikeys toy[RL]]

well i paid $80 usd which is around $110 aud?i don't think the shipping could be over $90usd.....i think i only paid 12bucks shipping

it really did make a difference though

p.s. the shiny ones would NEVER work over here; we have a steering box to contend with

Mmmm, shiny extractors. If you get thm HPC coated they look like that (or the one's in the Dwarf :)). A place up at Brendale does them. Apart from looking pretty, it SIGNIFICANTLY reduces under bonnet temperatures.

 

Don't bitch about price too much guys, my extractors alone cost $700 for the Dwarf...

BAH!

Forget the bling extractors, I'd rather heat-wrap it, at least it's more beneficial, and it looks tough too! :)

Heat wrap is also a sensational way of shortening the life span of your extractors. They crystalize and crack very rapidly. The ceramic coating is seriously the goods for keeping down heat. I was a sceptic until I fitted these up.

 

I used to have heat wrap on my old extrators. They lasted 18 months before they were irrepairable.

[Tiger]

Ah... I stand corrected!

Well, there you go, I learnt something new today! :)

[Felix]

another thing to worry about with heat wrap is increased fire risk. anyone ever had a carb needle and seat jam open and flood the carb? where does all the excess fuel go.... all over the extractors.

 

get your exhaust flanged for easy removal. i got a 3 bolt flange put on at the end of my extractors. i am still using the same gasket that was put on when i got the system done about 5-6 years ago. it has seen 4 different engine combos and i must have removed the extractors a dozen times.

I agree. My current set are flanged, and the ability to remove them is God's gift to changing starter motors!

[mikeys toy[RL]]

OK!!!

just got a response from the guy....

from U.S.A. to Austraila will be $160.00 usd total

this is the extractor and shipping

so this is less than $200 aud i think.....

[Super Jamie]

not sure if anyone's thought of this, but before you do headwork and cam, you NEED extractors and an exhaust, or you get inlet reversion

[kangaroosa]

$160 USD = $209.6299 AUD

 

 

1 USD = $1.3102 AUD

1 AUD = $0.7632 USD

a little bit off topic, but how much is the standard system v extractors and will a 3k run dual carbs with the standard system untill i can get extractors?

[Tiger]

The whole standard exhaust is like $100 approx. The sports is $150 from the headers back and extractors can total the lot up to anywhere near the $700 (depending on who you go to).

 

Now others can correct me if I am wrong, but you CAN run dual carbs with a standard exhaust, but don't expect too much of a boost in performance, as your engine's breathing will still be restricted.

 

But like I said, I could be wrong, this is just my opinion, it ain't mechanically based.

[Redwarf]

Depending on what "twin carbs" you are talking about. You can trundle around fat, dumb and happy with a pair of Aisans if you want to. SU's and Webers, well, buy an exhaust and then fit them.
