yeah still running the single 044 on the surge tank. next pay will probly upgrade to the new PW surge system that has the walbro 460 pump on it.
-
Yeah tailshaft and all the joints are upgraded, only part that wasn't was the spline or whatever it is that goes into the diff. The ZF will eventually require a rebuild, though they reckon it should last quite a while on street tyres now that it has been returned to exactly how it came out the factory. The diff bushes finally crapped themselves last night as well, so will go and get them replaced under warranty but using nolathane bushes
-
yeah plan is to race it eventually, just gotta be back from work when the drags are on. morpowa said they would lend me some slicks so will be taking them up on that offer for the nationals in november
-
Yeah best of luck Jet, a lot of people talk about doing something epic like you have but never have the balls to do it. Good on ya for taking the leap and glad to hear its going well. look forward to seeing your car run a mid 10 with your own tune
-
The F6s are a stronger engine but the XR6t engine are still good for plenty of power. mine only made 405 on 98, threw in e85 and used the same boost and 450+kw. I'm sure some FG XR6ts have gone boom at even less than 400, I think a lot comes down to the tuner though. I don't expect mine to last forever, but it will probably last longer than it would have on 98 fuel.

SCT911 my tuner said 440 was the max he wanted to push through the stock engine, the car had different ideas though. We think it would have gone 470+ on the first run but the plug was pulled at 454rwkw at under 5000rpm. Pulled out a bit of timing and managed to get it down to a peak 452. Still has stock valve springs, but I can't see them holding out all that long.
-
Cheers Jet and Marky, to be completely honest it scares the absolute sh*t out of me and I love every second of it
-
E85 + ID1000s = 452rwkw... street tune 17 degrees of timing and 21psi. it's insanity
-
turbo side intake + batt relocation is not a necessity at your power goal, K+N filter should suffice.
-
well turns out the 72lbs are definitely not going to cut it, will have to spend more coinage and get some 1000s. will push the 044 to its limit and then that will do. Gonna go for a stronger diff Matt?
-
yeah I think that you're correct Jet, I'm not against making a flat 400kw on e85 especially when I can pull out a heap of boost and have an engine that will run cleaner, smoother and safer.
-
cheers Jet, can hopefully pull a few pounds of boost out and still make 430-440ish. though that will be very dependant on my fuel system as im only running 1 044 and 72lb injectors. time will tell what they can flow
-
have put it off long enough... 9th of august my car will be tuned and running e85
-
last year in september I paid 40k drive away for my new 2012 MK2 FG XR6t auto with leather and reverse sensors.
-
Haha Marky, definitely no more boost on 98 while the engine is stock
-
Cheers Chaos310, you made some good power on your F6. I bet it struggles with traction Thanks Knackers, hopefully it will stay off the hoist for a bit now and in my garage
-
Finally back into the 400s. Got it tuned today and it peaked out at 408.1rwkw and it was tuned to 405 on the dot. I took for it a quick spin and it pulls pretty damn hard, the GTX3582 doesn't really feel any laggier than the old GT35. Can't wait to have my tailshaft built so that I can use the power. scan0001.pdf scan0002.pdf
-
I think it was about 200 bucks from process west
-
well the GTX is all bolted up, gets tuned on tuesday
-
FG MK2 upgrades - touch screen, traction control that actually works even with 400kw, reverse sensors standard... that's about all I can think of
