Location: Brisbane,qld | Anyone have an idea on the labour cost( ballpark) would be for pulling off supercharger , manifold and smt6 box and replacing it with another, and maybe at the same time replace injector seals and spark plugs, any info would be great |

Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | The SMT6 is accessed by removing the glovebox compartment...it is in the left hand guard with a cable tie holding it in...it just unplugs.
Allow 3-4 hours for all the other stuff.
More if the mechanic is inexperienced.
Injector seals take about 20-30 minutes...but custom plenum has to be removed to access the back 3 injectors.
Plugs take about 15 minutes once plenum is removed.
If replacing supercharger I would always replace plugs.
Injector seals are dead easy...they are just a ring of material that slides off.
I would get a Ralliart dealer to do it. |

Location: Brisbane,qld | update on the supercharger, get the new supercharger kit, injector seals replaced if needed and throw in some Iriway plugs , guy said it will be an 8 hr job ( 1 day) and approx $900 , week after next, bit steep but it could have been worse, cop the cost of the SC kit as well

Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | I have done it 4 times now, practice makes perfect.
the most time consuming bit is wiring in the ecu....and I didn't do any of that.
undo plenum, remove engine mount, undo 4 bolts holding blower on, undo fuel line, intake and thats it.
half a dozen plenum bolts and it just pops off with the plenum.
10mm, 12mm, 14mm and 17mm sockets required. |
