What fuel consumption would we be looking at here? And would you know what diff gears a 2007 XR6 Ute MkII runs as stock? Finally some good news about a cam install!! have only heard they're good for a little bit of sound but nothing after that... I would like to know how the supercharger goes aswell.. Ive given up on getting power from an N/A (for now) and would rather something that's unique at the moment, no matter what you do theres always going to be something that's got more power anyway haha

I know this is going to turn into a N/A bash thread; but anyway! Have been doing as much research as possible on google etc but am struggling to find any info.... Fuel pumps, injectors, weapon x coils.... do changing or using any of these make a difference on a N/A, or will it at all allow for better tuning once on the dyno?? Other than those, obviously using forged rods and pistons wouldn't do anything, correct? And there is little headwork that can be done as ford have already searched this to increase fuel economy im guessing? Am just about to purchse a Transcooler for mine, but this is meerely just to save problems later on. I know many threads have touched on this many times before... BUT! Once and for all (without resorting to bolting a snail to it - which would be good if it could handle it ) what mods should we be looking at after changing the intake piping, adding an F6 snorkel, throwing in a KN panel filter, extractors cat and exhaust, under drive, larger throttle body, putting cams in, and tuning?? is that it before we start on higher compressions pistons, shaving heads, and looking for better flow through the head? or should we be looking elsewhere? ....

It's just a scoop that goes into you airbox, feeds cooler air into the airfilter - which inturn makes your car run better - supposeably. However probs will void warranty not sure. Pretty much anything you do will void the warranty....

Yeah dude, I'm on my P's in QLD. The F6 secondry intake made probably the most difference for mine, it sits just under the passenger side head light. Its a good thing for $65 and about 1hr of work. But if your going to do that you might aswell change the intake plumbing.... Gets alot better throttle response

Are you able to bump up the idle yourself using the Ford x3 Flash Tuner or does the flash tuner require a computer program to do this then reload the tune onto the car?

I noticed just once when I was parking it at the shopping centre seemed the power steeering dropped out for a second but then it was fine. However it has done that to me before with the stock balancer.... But time will tell as its only been 3 days of having it.

Great thanks mate, that's some food for thought. Hmmmmmm.

that's sweet, pretty good for just a 40 min bolt on job. Any idea what I should be looking at next? Thinking of a tune at the moment. Have heard mixed reports on cams...

So I got an underdrive for my XR6 for Christmas! Excellent. Couldn't wait to put this abd boy on. As always everyone was pretty well shut over the Christmas/ New Years period so I had to wait a bit. Bought the belt and crank shaft seal from Jason at Bursons in Caboolture. They had to be ordered in - no worries had them the next day. Went in the next day to grab the stuff. Jason told me that the belt I had ordered would maybe be a bit too small (he got told by the manager at another Bursons store - who had an underdrive installed that he put the smaller belt on and it snapped not to long after installation) so he gave me two to try. Alrighty here we go. Pull the fan off, take off the belt. Ok..... got the crankshaft puller handy.... Won't fit.... can't get a grip on the stock balancer..... Back around to Jason - how much is the tool...? He Says ALOT.... He told me to just go back to work pull it apart as far as you can and call the local mobile mechanic and get them to take it off... (cost me $40 - stoked!) All good got it on. Take it for a drive. Can't notice much at the start (only driving around in a 80klm/hr area). Going home time, merging onto the Bruce Highway, chuck it into sequentil shift.... 1st nothing, 2nd feels normal, 3rd HERE WE GO! 4th Still going Results: pulls alot ahrder in 3rd to what it used to, the power just keeps coming. It used to just plateau in 3rd and sleakly shift into 4th, but now it just keeps going. Great result for little time spent, a little bit pricey for what you get. Not neck breaking difference - but you can notice it. Haven't got my ute on a dyno yet. Currently got CAI, K&N panel, and full exhaust, and underdrive. Will be good to see what it's got for a p platers car. p.s will get all part numbers on monday for exactly what I used and post up here. Ryan.
