I think they fit but you need to switch the brackets around?

Crap tyres like these Pirellis WILL cause understeer on the track. This is your problem. Before there is any point in making things too complicated, you need to try a new set of R rated semis. My bet is that the understeer will VANISH. 850lb is very heavy but should work on smooth tracks (but only will a seriously revalved shock)

Don't you guys already have your understeer thread as a sticky? Thought this one was about front tyre wear.

Website says $335 for the FG front kit.

With Ford tolerances , each car will be unique displaying slightly different wear characteristics. I.e. some cars of identical set up, tyres, model and age will get inner edge wear, some won't. Unfortunately, there a lot of factors at play here (assuming your tyre pressure are spot on and rotated often). - There a good wheel alignments and bad wheel alignments. Find a good mechanic you can trust that specialises in these cars. Wholesale Suspension and East Coast Suspension in Sydney are great, but I'm not familiar with qld suspension shops sorry. It's not only negative camber that causes the wear but the degree of toe as well. If your bushes are worn, the front tyres will shift angle under braking. With such heavy cars, this can affect tyre wear too. I've been through the whole list and have come to the conclusion that a camber kit may be the only answer for some individuals cars. Maybe try one of these for your BF: K-MAC kits to suit Ford Falcon

I've been after something like this for a while now. My FGXR6T gets taken to the circuit 4 or 5 times per year on R-rated semis and I've been wanting a quick and easy way to get more negative camber just for the day. How much neg camber would this allow? After 3 deg approx. It may also solve the problem of inner front tyre wear that has plagued the FG's (I have the stiffer Superpro control arm bushes already), to return to a more neutral camber setting. Have many people tried these yet from K-mac? K-MAC kits to suit Ford Falcon My car is currently running on the stock FG springs, but will return to the lower Lovells (and custom Konis) for the 2011 winter track season.

9.5" rear rim width at a 35 to 38 offset will hold 275's. There are plenty of tyres that will hold traction at that power. Depends if you want R rated semi, street semi or something with good wet traction too. What are you currently using? 1. R semi's in 265 or 275 - Maximum street legal traction. Poor in wet, pick up stones when hot. Toyo R888, Dunlop DZ03G, Yokohama AD050. Bridgey RE55. 2. Strret Semi. - Great in the dry. Treadwear 140 and above. Yokohama Neova AD08, Bridget RE11, Falken Azenis RT615, Federal 595RSR or good prices on Kumho KU36 3. Only tyre I recommend for a good street wet weather all rounder is Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric.

Just a quick note to say I received the 52lb Bosch EV14's from Tuffcarparts today. They all seem fine will 6 uniform holes of the same diameter. The customer service I received was excellent, and they were more than happy to exchange the items. Unfortunately I had not read the orginal ebay ad closely enough, which always advertised the 60lb's as a modified (custom injector), I.e. not as factory, but am now happy with the outcome.

Factor into that $5k, 18" wheels as the factory 18 or 19" fg ford rims dont clear brembos. Most cost effective option for brakes is 4 pot brembo fronts with dba4000 slotted rotors. Territory upgrade rear with slotted/ventilated 328mm rear rotors.

Thanks for the links. I was confused as the only data sheets I could find were for the Ford Racing injector M-9593-G302 which looks different, but apparantly they must be the same. Assuming the ones I receive next week have been unmodified that is, and have 6 holes of equal size, spacing and diameter.

Just had a thought, re listing them as 47lb or 52lb flow, it would obviously depend on the pressure that the flow rate was measured at. I.e. at lower pressure, they would flow 47lb/hr and at higher pressure they would flow 52lb/hr. Just hoping that the 52lb injectors I receive are not a 6 hole 47lb injectors with one drill enlarged hole instead of 2 or 3 as in my previous pics.

Where did you find (confirm) that the 0 280 158 117 part number is a Factory Bosch 52lb injector? Fiveomotorsport list them as a 47lb. EV14 - Fuel Injectors MOD Sets - Siemens Injectors & Lucas Injectors - Racing Fuel Injector Sets - 0280158117/G302 This website below has them at 52lb and look very similar, and I am trying to get technical info from them to help with tuning. High Performance New Fuel Injectors - New Bosch - 52lb Bosch EV14 High Impedance - Fuel Injector Connection Also these ones below are 47lb from Ford Racing. Lots of tech data on them but they appear slightly different? Ford Racing Performance Parts - [Part Details] Does anyone know where I can get this sort of data on the 0 280 158 117? The PDF file data sheet from Bosch does not have the part number listed. Thanks.

To the supplier's credit, he has now agreed to take back these drilled 60lb EV14 injectors and swap them for undrilled 52's. I'm not concerned with outright power, but still want decent idle performance. Has anyone in Sydney tuned these Bosch EV14's yet?

The top and bottom pic are different injectors. All 6 are slightly different. Was this done on a low flow injector to bring it up to 60lb flow? or is this routinely done to flow match all 6? I'm not happy obviously!

I bought some of these 60lb Bosch EV14's on ebay through Tuff Car parts. (I have the adapters, not shown in pics) Part No. is 0 280 158 117 On closer inspection it appears 2 to 3 of the 6 spray holes have been drilled/enlarged for each individual injector. Is this to simply provide the 60lb of flow or have they been flow matched (which the supplier said they had been) I was unaware they had been drilled until Boosted3dxr6 pointed it out, and considering the problems he has had with them, I am relectant to fit them as they may provide an inconsistant spray pattern now. Any advice?

Depends what price you can get them for. I haven't condidered them because there are so many better tyres out there for the same price.

Great result and glad to see you finally got it sorted. As you know, I have the same injectors (still waiting to go on)and experienced the same probs with adapters early on. I will be going to Crescent Motorsport now (probably next year sometime) when I have all my other bits to go on. I am liking the new PWR stepped intercooler, and combined with these injectors, should finally see a 300!

Lighter wheels. Easy 20kg unsprung weight saving. Lighter brake rotors like dba5000 with alloy hub. Lithium battery saves nearly 15kg. Fibreglass bonnet another 15-20kg? Lightweight bucket seat. Diet and exercise?

This battery interests me too as I am always keen to make the car lighter for circuit work. Can the battery be mounted in a number of places? I.e. if I went with a Pod filter intake (where the stock battery is located), do I need to buy a full battery relocation kit as well, considering this battery is a lot smaller it may squeeze in somewhere else?

I have a FGXR6T and went through this process in detail after upgrading to Brembos at the front. I have 18" BA FPV Typhoon rims that clear for the street. Also had a set FPV GT 18" wheels that cleared. Now have some black 18" x 8.5" Enkei RPF1 for the track. Rims which also clear from other forum members: Enkei RP03, PF01 (pic above) Zumbo Yako clear AP, not Brembo with dba5000 (may clear other rotors though). Volk TE37 clear. Wolf S36 http://www.wolfwheels.co.nz/wheels/ Axis Hiro Pretty sure 18" Speedy Cobalts and 19" Infernos do but a test fit may be required.

Was disappointed with the rear wheel width on the new supercharged fords. 245 is not enough now with the 4.0l turbos either. Power figures mean nothing if you cant get it down. HSV have offered wider rear tyres for years and have always been superior getting power to the ground. Ford need to get there act together as customers need to fork out $3k extra for decent 9.5" rims and tyres. Other than that, the FT86 was great!

Hankook Ventus R-S3 They do come in 285/35/18 too and according to the website would fit on a 9.5" rim as a bare minimum, but I'd recommend a wider rim if it fits.

Another idea to save weight would be to go with this light weight battery discussed here. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70522 www.youtube.com/user/turbotrana#p/a/u/1/JlRKIyUtvXE An easy way to save 15kg of weight!!!!!! Have you considered one of those vented fibreglass bonnets too?

I agree the RS3's are a great option. Huge tread blocks and great reviews!! I was considering some of these for my street rears but ended up going with ad08s. Unfortunately the RS3s don't come in 19's but you could run 245 fronts (8-8.5") and 265 rears (with 9.5" rims) on 18" wheels.
