XRforced

Hey I am new to this aswell, the dyno runs I have done were (05 XR6T 6spM) at stock, 165 Kw at stock with 8psi generic tune 205 Kw with X-force exhuast(4' dump to 3.5' catback) and Monza Cooler and 10psi tune and wastegate and actuator upgrade 255 Kw For an apprentice with low funds 255 Kw is fun as I searched for months for the right car, after driving a few I soon realised I NEEDED a manual, maybe not a quick down the strip but twice the fun for example my 255 Kw tune only ran a 14.3 down the strip and a standard T Auto with generic 8psi ran a 14.4

Hey bud, I had the exact same problem as you and after a lot of reasearch I decided to do the actuator and waste gate mod (I would highly reccomend XR6Turbo Developments they did a top job) I have done this mod and am still running a generic tune, I have done the data logging the same as you aswell. I know everyone knocks generic tunes, but my car is making good/reliable power, with just an exhaust, cooler and generic tune 10psi (awaiting $$$ for custom). but yeah do some research, I ended up finding 2 people in my area that wanted to do the same mod, saved $$$ on postage and what not. Hope I could be of some assistance Another question, senna_T have you done much with the data logging program or know of anyone that has? I am just wanting to find out what increments the readings are in?

Not sure where you are from, but 999 Automotive in Brisbane was super helpful with rice bits like BOV's/adaptors. genuine stuff and cheap as hell http://www.999automotive.com.au/work2005.htm

Does it sit like 50mm below your radiator? mine does I am heaps worried, it is like just touching the bottom of me front bumber/plastic gaurd underneath. I havent hit a gutter/speed bump yet but I dread the day I do, CARNAGE lol

not sure if you are still lokking but I stuffed around with mine for a bit and bent the air con pipe towards the radiator and then centered it as much as I can and it ended up like this just had to lengthen the top pipe 2 inch's and make my own brackets, that's it.

Yeah well truth be told, I have lost my licence and cant drive for another 2 weeks yet, but I will try and upload a sound/video clip asap. lucky I have the 'Capa flash 2' I just made the rev limiter 3500rpm and I will let anyone drive me around in my turbs lol ha ha ha unlucky for them

LOL yeah I bent up my horn like most of you, sounded like ass, I just put it down to a dodgy earth, relocated it, under the left headlight, I just found an existing bolt/hole, and slapped it on, making sure to scape off the paint around the hole to get a solid earth. easy as to do.

Yeah its all about being different, I also changed my intercooler mounts so I would mount a monza m-spec cooler, in the centre, because I hate the way they all sit to the left. it annoys me lol took a couple of hours but I am glad I did

Its a Monza M-spec cooler, bit cheap but hey it still does a good job, all I had to do is bend an aircon pipe towards the radiator a little bit, and get lengthen the top pipe 2 inch's. it miss's everything by bout 5 mm (all sides and corners) Was bit of a stuff around but I am glad I put in the effort, also at the same time put a BOV on the allow elbow. HKS super sequential super sneaky
