I did just have a brief read through the surge tank section. I should have realised that tests carried out on a dyno cannot take into account the effects of G-forces in regards to the pumps ability to sustain sufficient flow rate. Surge tank is now on the list when it goes in for the strengthened tail shaft and turbo side intake.

I've just been reading through this thread, about 3 months ago I purchased a FG XR6T (prem sound + leather) which had the nizpro stage 3 kit fitted, it was pulling 383rwkw with a stock fuel pump for the past 2 and a bit years. I recently got it retuned at the same place to 407rwkw still running the stock fuel pump. I had the pump tested prior to the retune to make sure it could maintain the fuel flow as the safety of my engine is priority number 1, they were able to increase the fuel demand required by the engine at all revs by an added 20% to make sure it was well within safe limits and it appeared to have no issues with the extra demand. Just thought I would share the results I have found whilst using the stock FG fuel pump. Unfortunately its not a huge money saver by not changing it.

yeah I assumed it would give more power, was just trying to work out whether it is sizeable and thus worth while (over my ss inductions CAI) as im at the point where the next step is a big one and requires a bigger turbo and then gotta strengthen everything to survive that.

anyone know if there is much difference in power between the ss growler kit on the factory setup compared with doin the battery relocation and placing the intake on the right side?

that's the spirit! anyone got any ideas when the next cruise might be held?

Car: FG XR6 turbo Trans: 6 speed manual Power: 510rwhp Boost: 19psi Induction: SS inductions CAI, Nizpro Intercooler, 4in piping Turbo: F6 turbo Valve Springs: Stock Exhaust: Nizpro full 4in stainless exhaust Fuel system: Nizpro injectors, stock fuel pump Tuner: Graham West Workshops, using 98octane fuel

Yeah I didnt even see him, he pulled me up for 100 in a 60 zone but let me go with a warning :D but it f*cking killed my night cause I was way too worried about being caught again...

you'll see her in a little over an hour mate

just picked up my FG today so I'll see u guys out tonite

well I hope so as I dont think I will have the self control to baby it around until I replace the fuel pump. either way I will make some enquiries about it to be certain. I just hope it will survive until saturday nite for this cruise u guys have planned!

its been tuned by graham west, its got the Nizpro stage 3 kit. bigger injectors, intercooler, F6 turbo upgrade and stainless exhaust.

hey guys, quick question this fg xr6t im planning on buying doesnt have an after market fuel pump or surge tank and is running 383rwkw @ 19psi. should I be worried about this or are the standard fg fuel pumps pretty decent?

Yeah if the car checks out all good sat morning then it'll be good to bring it out and see how it ranks up against some of the best turbo'd Fords in SA. Should be a good night of collective boosting

Cheers mate, yeah cant wait to get my hands on it. gonna be a pretty big step up from my worked 5lt V8.

Hey guys, I'm planning on buying an FG XR6 turbo this Saturday 17th assuming the inspection on it comes out all good. I happened to notice that you guys are planning a cruise that night. Just wondering if it would be all good to come out? Also since we all love mods, here is a list of performance mods done to the vehicle: Nizpro Stage 3 kit consisting of: Larger Intercooler F6 turbo upgrade 4in exhaust upgraded injectors growler intake x3 cal flash tuner tuned to 383rwkw @ 19psi Cheers, Jarrad

Hi Guys, I'm pretty new to this site. But I've been looking at buying a worked 2008 FG XR6 turbo. Its currently running 383rwkw and has the stage 3 Nizpro kit fitted. It has an un-modified 6 speed manual and standard diff. The clutch is the only driveline upgrade. Its done almost 50,000 kilometers, any ideas on what generally tends to break on these cars with this kind of power? I've heard the diff bushes tend to go, anyone know of anything else to look out for? Cheers, Jarrad
