FYI..Just to be on the safe side! I need to make clear that this screen is really only for the rear seat passengers to watch...Not the driver whilst driving!!! If you are short, like me, you cannot see the screen whilst driving. Tall people with the seat further back will be able to see the screen. MS700, I will look into your request soon and let you know. I will get some costs over to you guy's 2morrow. cheers

Hi Daga, Like I said the install is very easy...anyone can do it. I have written simple fitting instructions that I can post if people are interested. You can use the screen as a single AV input or via a switchbox IVSC -5502 that gives you 4 AV chanels +RBG for output to the front ICC. The screen is also remote controlled so you never need to touch it. When I add all the gear into the car, I will post a complete schematic to show just what is possible whilst maintaining a factory look. Cheers

Hi, We are working on a Hybrid Digital/Analogue tuner. It is still a few months away. I will keep you informed. Cheers

Hi Guy's, I am slowly going to deck out my car with A/V equipment and as a start have fitted a monitor IVMS 6502 into the sunglass holder. This has a great advantage over stand alone units as it doen't block you view of the rear-view mirror. Attched are some photos. The istallation is also very - very easy! Cheers

Hi Guy's, Just a thought.... When I run a naturally asipirated car down the quarter, I talk about what RPM to stall the vehicle at. But when ever I run my turbo cars, I only look at the boost pressure not the revs. The boost pressure will give you a far more accurate feel as to how the car will take off and will be easier to repeat. Am I the only guy using this technique? I don't think so Good luck with your runs, with a good takeoff easy 12's for sure. G

YOOT, you must have a "Stroker" to be pumping out that much power! Show us some footage of your beast so we can comapare! Cheers

Well done. You will love it! Cheers

I have done a number of runs using the G-tech Pro with the best time being 5.4...but on average it gets 5.5 - 5.6second to 100. I wonder how the guy's at motor are changing gears if the could only manage 6 point something. I think Ford has told the the mags to report it as slower than the HSV for political reasons!!

Excellent work!!

hi xxr6t, I timed my phoon with a g-tech today and recorded a 13.5 1/4 @167. This time might be a little too good, especially on a road with poor traction, but I think it is easily possible at the track. Gear changes must be as quick as possible to get a decent ET, I assume you are a master with 13.8 in a manual T..Good Work! Cheers, G

hi MS700, It was dynoed by Mario @ Autotechnique. Very professional business he has there. (highly recommended) He asures me that his dyno is not a happy one. Anyway, I didn't post this info to compete, just thought you guy's might be interested. Cheers

FYI I was interested to see just how much more power than a standart T the Typhoon has. Oddometer 750 Klm. Result 3 runs over 220kw atw. Nothing has beed toched - Dead stock using 95 Ron petrol Not bad for a stocky. Cheers

Just had it dynoed at Autotechnique. For the Record. My totally standard F6 pumps out 223Kw at the rear wheels. Not badfor a stocky I say. Regards

The F6 is stock...only 700k's on the clock. To tape it, I extended the steering column fully and used my digital photo camera in movie mode... Stuck in place with some sticky tape. Will do more vids when it's run it. g

more..more...ok..but not typhoon...cortina. burnout2.wmv

Taped under controlled enviroments Take off is quite crap due but you get the idea... you can time it with a stopwatch..its 5 point something. enjoy ZERO_100.wmv

I will add my view on this topic...No experience in this field!! I believe that the 6 speed will be noticeably quicker down the quarter for the following reason. First gear could have a higher ratio thus quicker takeoff (less time out of boost also) Second gear in the ZF will have a higher ratio than second gear in the current 4 speed so it will also have slightly faster acceleration. 3 gear in the ZF could be the same as 2 gear ratio in the current box...and so it continues. Because the revs don’t have to drop as much between gear changes, the internal clutches/bands can be smaller and lighter than the current box. A question to GRASS regarding the Torque theory. Q. If two XR6 turbo Manuals where to race and one of the drivers shifted 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th...and the other 1st, 3rd, 5th..assume they shift at the rev limit. who do you think will win the race? I think it will be the guy using all the gears. The driver shifting from 1st to 3rd will still be in the peak of the engine torque, but will not keep up because of the lower ratio which = less torque to the rear wheels. Anyone may step in and correct me as I have no mechanical engineering background... this just what I believe to be the case. Go easy on me if I have totally confused myself. Cheers

It is not lag..100%sure! It is electronic protection for the drivetrain.

Good news. Just heard info that new S/W for edit gismos gets rid of the torque tags when changing gears. Has been available for a couple of weeks?? Lets see!

My new F6 also has backlash....It sounds and feels crap but I expected it! One thing to remember is that the manual also has backlash making the problem more noticeable. One way to fix the problem is not to back off the accelerator Cheers

My car feels way faster than a 14 et. I will race it one day just to make sure.

Just read the "motor" mag rematch....They expirienced the same problem with the gear changes. This gear change issue is the reason the F6 didn't break a 13et and also why it didn't totally hose the HSV. I am very pissed off. g

there is no way that turbo lag is responsible for this. I have owned and driven a few turbo cars over the years and non of them lost boost during a flat change..If anything boost would instantly rise due to the extra load. At 5000rpm full throtle lag is almost non existant due to the volume of exhaust flowing through. One day I will monitor the throttle body signals and see if our friends at ford have put in some "anti-fun" algorithm into the PCM. Time will tell.

Hi Sixrt, I need to correct my original post, I thought it had fixed it by removing the switch - thus tricking the pcm...And for some reason on the way home from work, there was no power loss between gear changes. This resulted in 5 or so axel tramp chirps changing into second...then...on the next drive, back to o single chirp followed by power loss for a second and then away we go. SO the clutch switch does F-ALL. There is no way the turbo spools down during my gear changes. I even tried doing a "lazy" flat change at around 3000rpm which used to result in a nice power slide in the VXSS...In the F6 case...a few chirps and power loss. If this issue is resolved, the F6 with easily run 13'zzz no worries. Cheers
