Removal Of Turbo In Preperation Of Porting And Valve Mod Part Ii
bjacobs replied to mrmackie's topic in Turbo Workshop
Has anyone had their turbo ported, flapper and actuator mod done by CMS? If so are you happy with the results? I'm trying to decide weather to get it done by them or get it done by Garrett which is more of a stuff around. So if people are happy with CMS porting jobs is prefer to just get the to do it.

Would be awesome if some people could upload some sound clips or vids of their different set ups spooling and dosing. Would love to hear afew different turbos! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

V8's don't suck people off the footpath though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really! Is it a different sound to the 6235? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn, I love hearing that spool.. But I've now got my heart set on a 6235 haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I remember hearing that term as well haha, that's what confused me when everyone said its super quiet now, I thought it must have been a different turbo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you upgrade the actuator of a stock turbo without doing porting and flapper or does that cause problems? I want to get my tune done but am trying to avoid doing porting mod as I want to upgrade my turbo and fuel system at the end of the year/ early next year, so would prefer to put the money for the mod towards a new turbo. But as ratter said I want to do it properly cause I don't know how long it will take me to save up for the fuel system and turbo upgrades. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry if this has already been asked but how does the sound of the 6235 compare to the stock fg xr6 turbo? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So do you find them creaky? Or was the suspension already creaky to begin with? But if it's fixed your tramp then can't really complain! Did you cop it badly? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I read through this not too long ago but there's not many reviews of them especially on the lowered utes. There is also a new bracket option now for the lowered utes which I think stops you having to cut the bump stops?? But not sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is anyone running the malwood tramp rods on their utes? Specifically any lowered fg utes? Looks like a really good piece of kit and are now used on all of the V8 utes apparently. I cop a fair bit of tramp in 1st and am seriously considering getting a set in the future. Interested to see if it is actually a proper fix for the problem and how peoples http://www.malwoodauto.com.au/index.php?page=tramp_rod_kit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nah not yet! Still saving coin for my tune and and decided do turbo porting and flapper now as well so hopefully in the next month or 2 will be able to get it all done. Wbu? Got yours in now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bought xforce stainless 4"dump 4"cat 3.5" catback gonna see how it sounds, may remove rear muffler and put something similar to this in its place if it's a bit gay sounding Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw this, was just exhausting all options, just bought a set of PAC springs so hopefully they go well! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice, sounds like they could be a goer, I'll give tony a call to Tomorrow. Cheers beau Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To fix it just don't try and beat the gearbox from 1st to 2nd when going hard, give it a fraction of a second longer just to keep up and it should slip straight in. Gotta love fords... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine also does it, since 4kms mk2 ute, now has 3500kms and has ripshifter solid mounted and still does it, only when really booting it in first and rip a change at above 5k rpm. Otherwise it's fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will the pacs be ok for my first moderate power level (320ish)?? I don't want to get anything too stiff but also want them to be able to handle more power (400ish) later down the track. Thanks beau. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The plazmaman springs are tempting at $300 What would be my best option between plaz or the atomic extreme H/D's? There are also the atomic ovates and crows but I would prefer not to spend over $400 Would PAC racing springs be to stiff for approx 300-320 rwkws? Cause that is what I'm aiming for for my first tune before I upgrade turbo. And the pacs fall in my budget as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, your comment didn't show until after I posted...technology and I don't mix Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Simon told me that the extra for the ute system is due mostly to the labour required for them to modify the sedan version to fit the ute, therefore making it basically a custom exhaust... It is a big difference though IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry $3695*** Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well the email simon sent me today was $3650 fitted.. 2400 sounds a lot better though! Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
So what's the verdict on this? At $1900 it's a lot cheaper than the $3700 I got quoted for a fitted nizpro Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeh might give it a try haha. Back to mild vs stainless. What's the difference? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
