PHANTMXR6

Generally if a car is tuned only, eg no other mods are done bar a tune, most of the gains come from a couple of pounds more boost and raising the AFR's from around the 10:1 ratio to 12-12.5:1. This is where most of the additional power is made along with some tweaks to timing and boost. Also, your car shouldn't be revved any more than about 5500-5900rpm as the power and torque curves will probably be ramping down by then. When my car was dyno'd the operator insisted on running it to the hard cut for the first couple of runs. I politely insisted he step off the go pedal after 5500rpm due to no more power or torque being produced. Needless to say he did so.

Have a read of this Arkayne. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/Power-Differences-Between-Shootout-Modes-t59178.html *Beep*, my AFR's were very similar. Extremely rich for a stock tune.

If it's stock and strapped correctly it shouldn't lift at any revs. If anything it should squat. When mine was dyno'd it had a fairly aggressive power ramp and I filmed most of the runs (buggered if I can transfer them from a JVC HDD camcorder to Windows format though) but when the boost comes on you can clearly see the car squat. Good luck though.

If that's the way your car was strapped to the dyno then I'd be taking it somewhere else. It shouldn't be moving around on the rollers much at all. And if they've done turbo power runs before they should know what ramp rate to use.

I'm no Dyno Dynamics guru but it has something to do with different ramp rates etc. It will make a difference to your reading though. There are different rates for engine type. eg Turbo 6,4 V8 etc.

Looking at that graph I can tell you why it's reading higher straight away. It was done in Shoot 8 mode. That's not the right mode for the turbo 6. It should be Shoot 6F. Go back and ask why they did this, and if it's an honest mistake ask for another run.

Power steering pump? That may explain why it doesn't do it for the first 15 minutes or so. Once the oil's heated up it may make the noise you're describing.

Why is this Kev? Are they that much different?

18" or 19"? I had a set of 18" and found them to be quite noisy in all conditions. I would only imagine if they were on a 19" rim with a lower profile that the noise would be amplified somewhat more.

The 'star' tool you refer to are known as Torx bits. I can't remember the exact size you need for the seat mounts, but you should be able to buy a kit from any reputable hardware store.

Nothing to do with seeing the light Hiro. You guys are trying to compare F6 and XR's. Two different configurations. XR09, I'm not quite sure what you're trying to explain exactly, but if there is one restriction and it is opened up then there is going to be a gain made.

Comparing gains between an F6 and an XR6T are completely different due to the turbo's. I can't comment on the F6, but the XR6T I've tested with the XR8 parts and saw positive gains. The other product I can't comment on, but if cost was involved, the other product wouldn't get a look in.

For $400 I reckon you'll get a couple of hours with a psychiatrist. You want a N/A straight 6, built by Ford mind you, to sound like a crumbledore V8??? Fair dinkum mate. Can you send me some of what you've got?

I don't mean to sound rude but what's your budget for this project?

Yes it is. 130 is the limit unless otherwise sign posted.

Me too.

Side airbags are mounted in the seat. Curtain airbags may be what you are thinking about. They were only available as an option, as far as I'm aware, and I didn't tick that box so all sweet.

That will be the tar separating from the bitumen deadener. If you've had your car in a hot environment this will happen.

Why?

Describe your definition of horrible? Mine seems to be ok. But it's fitted with a Mal Wood shifter and has a guts full of Penrite SIN ATF to help keep the rollover noise down. When cold sometimes the 1-2 shift is slightly notchy but not what I'd call unacceptable. Bearing in mind the power and torque transfer capability of the box it must be built strong and some small sacrifice in noise and feel could be tolerated.

go round

Why?

Time to update that avatar mate.

Been there. Done that. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/findpost-t52547-p786766.html&hl=DASH%20POD&fromsearch=1 Didn't quite turn out as planned so I've scrapped it. I'll be making something to go on the A pillar next time around. 3 gauges this time as well.

These aren't silly questions, however, they are questions you need to ask Nizpro.
