+1 to that ^^^^ hahaha

mods delete, search function played games with me

All, I'm looking into turbo upgrade for my FG F6, and have noticed these hybrid turbos are getting some good feedback lately in comparison to the gtx3582 and pte turbos. Some of these turbos are achieving high 9's with supporting mods (500rwkw) Now a lot of shops are keeping tight lipped on the actual specs, which I think is sort of weird because if you buy something you expect to know the finer details of what your actually purchasing. Other than buying one and pulling it apart, can someone give me the quick run down on what they are modding, and what base turbo they are using? PM me if needed. I'd rather make an well informed choice before spending 3-4k on a turbo upgrade. Cheers fellas

Prob Monsta torque as they've done most of the work to date and word on the street is they do a solid built auto.. might chuck a small convertor in too, see what they recommend.

I ended up skidding every run by the end of it... I lost too many races against gtr's and gave up trying to get traction off the line haha..

450rwkw stever.. It was a great weekend I thought! I'll hopefully be back next year with a built auto, tad more boost and some decent shoes.. then I can really give it to her.

I would argue that.. My cars had 400rwkw for about 3 years.. and more recently, 450rwkw for the last ~6 months... My diff has held up quite well in that time. I don't nanny drive it, but I do maintain it very well. It is loosening up, but its done well for the life its had, and power it was matched to run with. Weather or not the same diff in my FG F6 is used in the BF F6.. I'm not sure, but they have a decent driveline from stock. TOMMO224, If your chasing bigger numbers in the future.. upgrade... if your content with <400rwkw.. get a nice tight / good condition 2nd hand FPV replacement. My 2 cents..

I ended up getting the E85.. got 448rwkw.. but the kicker was the extra ~180nm of torque! (1160NM) Haven't taken it to the track yet, need to build the ZF.. the extra torque and hp has accelerated the destruction of my box by 10 fold! Its slipping 3rd-4th under heavy load and doesn't like to operate in sports mode anymore, have to use manual. Starting to notice a fair bit of heat soak with the PW2 cooler though... after a few runs or hotter days you can tell the difference. I've ordered some aerofroce OBD gauges so ill be able to take some temp readings of intake / manifold temps and see just how efficient the cooler is in diff conditions. I'll post up the findings. I think with the Mickey T's on the back and a built box.. Mid 10's shouldn't be a problem.. it pulls like a train!

haha sweet! which car were you in? I may have a video of you..

nah the car ran fine after I stepped off it and let it settle down.. went back out and did a few more skids with no problems... t It did the same sounding thing before I had the valves changed... but this time it didn't go into limp mode, just made the sound.. So I'm kinda stumped because the new valve springs probably only done less than 10,000kms...(crow cams springs)

Pretty sure this sound is valve floating, just want confirmation? [.video=youtube;KfyyGkTNU_s] [/video.]

how much does the oil pressure change from stock -> modded (400rwkw) -> Built (600rwkw)? Has anyone tracked it before or have an idea base don other posts they've seen?

Can you go into the xcal tuning software and manually change the torque restriction without dyno time etc? My tuner has put this in to save the box, not sure if its classified as a "ZF tune" or simply a setting changed in the engine tune.

nah, I wanted to tune it but my tuner said not worth it otherwise I'll be back the next day for a built box... I was just wondering if anyone here has similar issues before their box let go? I've heard of ZF boxes letting go with 350rwkw, and others running 450rwkw all day every day no issues... it must come down to the tuner (power delivery) and how much they restrict the torque to the box.

I believe there is 3 different rods between the BA/BFMK2/FGF6.. BF got the upgraded rods in the MK2 (or the F6 engine at the time)... Then the FGF6 got even stronger rods again (not the FG xr6t). Correct me if im wrong.
