its fine to remove it. they dont have them on aftermarket exhausts. I noticed a bit more heat around the footwell area in mine but nothing to be worried about.

had that same problem in my 03 ba. car would shake and idle lumpy as. turn off and on and gone. never happened again after a tune.

loose or missing turbo bolts. easily checked.

lee would recommend a pw stg 2 cooler kit. theres your 310-320. ask him about the rest.

sweet, fixed her up. keep on top of them mate. check them every service.

the turbo/manifold bolts come loose all the time, tighten them up. common problem stock or not. definately worth the check.

listen to f6mark. take it to lee.

probably turbo/manifold leak. pull off the heat shields and check, even if its not that they probably need doing anyway. has it got stock exhaust? heat shields on the exhaust are prone to vibration.

to op. treat squats as your most important excercise.

sounds like its about the only thing left that could be the problem if its hardware related. good luck.

what he said ^ get the zf done by that wa mob who did qik 1 and t-freak. shouldnt need to at your power level. surely it must be a faulty box.

I remember your box getting coolant through it. was that at 20,000? what happened at 25,000?

what are you doing dillz? your gonna let your 2010 g6et go so you can build up an 05 ba?!!!!!!!!!! it'll cost way more than you budget and give you grief with all the teething problems. fair enough if you were in an 05 now or your looking to come out of it with some cash. as previously said get the fg up to 330 and youve got a much better car imho.

I think its fpv we need to be asking for the confirmation. I know the pistons are stronger, not positive if there forged. in saying that, as ive said before, mahle took over the piston division at acl who supplies ford. any engine over 100hp per litre is fitted with forged pistons as per there regulations. I will go too all extremes to try and confirm this. stay tuned.

this is all I could find at the moment. doesnt mention brand though. look down the bottom in mechanical. according to this the conrods may even be better. Executive Summary General Safety Efficiency Towing & Luggage Overall Rating 2 Get the best price on a new FPV F6 IN A COUNTRY OBSESSED with V8 performance cars, you might think that a car like the F6, with its blown six, would have a hard time establishing its credentials. Sure, FPV still sells a lot more V8s than they do sixes and HSV doesn’t even bother to go there. But being a volume seller in the muscle sedan category isn’t a true measure of the F6’s success. The real measure is respect. If there was a Fight Club for cars, the F6 would be the darkly brooding contender, waiting in the shadows for the competition to get serious. The one that all the competitors fear most. Legend has it that the F6 will out-run the fancy V8s and that even more power is just a cheeky tweak away. School kids stare in awe, middle-aged men admire, but most telling of all, V8 drivers avoid eye contact. It’s a bona fide urban myth in the metal. Styling There is no going past the Dash Green of our test vehicle. This particular F6 didn’t attract attention, it demanded it. Hunkered down over a set of optional graphite 19-inch wheels, the chiseled F6 looks menacing. There are no flared guards, no bonnet scoops or bulges, no overt body kit. The F6 doesn’t need the Tupperware to look tough. To further accentuate that ‘minimalist toughness’, FPV has removed the grille on the lower air intake, putting the beefed up intercooler on display. Not great for stone protection on the open road, but raunchy nonetheless. FPV badges take pride of place on both the front grille and rear bootlid, with unique F6 310 badges positioned on the sides and rear of the vehicle. New graphite headlight accents now match the standard 19 inch machine faced alloy wheels with Graphite accents, and the optional F6 Graphite wheel as fitted to the car we drove. Sure, there has been plenty of online debate concerning the FG’s styling. Some appreciate the clean, sharp and almost minimalist look (that has some competitors looking like cartoon characters), while others simply don’t think it has evolved enough from the BF. We like it, especially in F6 and GT guise. Mechanical Package The F6 is all about that syrupy smooth, boosted 4.0-litre straight six. The 4.0 litre turbo-charged DOHC 24 valve in-line six now produces maximum power of 310kW at 5500 rpm, and maximum torque of 565Nm across the range from 1950 to 5200 rpm. That’s enough to have FPV claiming (and it’s not hard to believe) that the F6 sedan is one of the best performing six-cylinder vehicles on the Australian market. It’s also a 40kW and 15Nm increase over the previous BF model. To achieve such a significant increase, FPV’s engineers strengthened the piston and conrod design, dropped the compression ratio (from 8.7.1 to 8.5.1), re-profiled the camshafts, fitted a larger intercooler and improved turbo, recalibrated the engine management and turned up the boost to 0.91 bar (13.3 psi). A new intake system has improved airflow from the air intake to the engine head inlet. The result is not only more power but much improved driveability. FPV says you can expect to achieve an average of 12.1L/100km for the ZF auto-equipped F6 (12.3L/100km for the six speed manual).

keep the g6.

could be anything. youve got good power at 12psi, enjoy it, keep an eye on the boost gauge (hopefully the afrs are ok) and get the car to someone else for a second opinion in the new year. most tuners know the hardware side of turbo cars but few are experts with ford software. see lee at real dyno for a diagnosis and go from there. im not a fan of vcm on xr6t but to each there own.

with stupid who said hes with stupid whos stupid

f*ck me dead matt, shes a beast now, just remember the power you have there mate. be careful. track time, mph should be right up there.

whats the latest quinn?

amazing stuff spiro. looks like it wont be to long now.

pretty sure ford quote power using 95. the extra power is quite possibly due to using 98. has anyone had a run with 95?

sh*t fuel? failing fuel pump? leave it with the tuner until it stuffs up on the dyno. only way to know for sure.

I know Dillz, valid point. There both made by auto technica. Thought it would have been a safe guess to say that the core will be the same. Another thing is its only bloody 55mm thick. Anyway we'll soon see I guess.
