  1. Awesome engine bays guys!

    Fg F6 Ute

    Nice result guys... 25psi? Might have to jam 25psi into mine, see if we can find an extra 40kws to catch up
  3. There's more to do with length of pipe, bends, diameter ect... they all change the way the airspeed and volume enter the turbo. A classic example is dyno a car with stock intake then with no intake... power usually always goes up with no intake, but obviously lag becomes a factor due to sucking in hot engin bay air, but its a good basic example. I always rate the under battery intake to a max of 350/360wkws... Ive seen a few go higher, but only a few and theres hundreds of these intakes out there. I sell ALOT of 4inch intakes to guys that have mine, or plaz or PW 's underbat intake and always hear back positive increases and seat of pants improvements. If you dont make power then there's usually another issue that's holding power back. Basically the more air volume you can get into a turbo, the better it will compress the air and force more into the motor, which is why the bigger intakes work so well. It can looked at like exhaust systems, the turbine outlet is only 3inch, yet we need more than a 3inch exhaust system to make decent power. Turbos work best when being fed alot of air, and not restricted back on the outlet... like Ive been saying for along time on here, more air, more flow, more power.
  4. yeah different outside diameter tyres will alter the readout on roller dynos, no difference on hub dyno's obviously. While tuning mine we saw alsorts of variations when changing between 17s , 18s and 19s, plus wheel slip ect, smaller tyres read higher as did 3rd gear over 4th gear.
  5. Great looking F6 mate!
  6. Turbo beanie? That will reduce most of the radiated heat.
  7. 044's have a habbit of getting noisy when they are hot, and when they start to get old, or having flow issues... if its a few years old I'd look at cleaning or replacing the check valve as they can get sticky inside.
  8. That's a big turbine Karl, should pump top end
  9. GT40's are a good size, bit less top end to the 42s n 45s, mush stronger at 2500 but if your stalls above that you could easilly drive a bigger size on the street, and you can tune a load of lag out of them...
  10. You'll find it will run better/stronger straight away, but that can depend on how its tuned to start with... but yeah get it on the dyno to check rail pressure and AFR's.
  11. Nah, there's loads of guys on here with bigger turbo's, just don't want to share info lol GT4596R on my G6ET, makes 22psi at 2700rpm with alot more tuning to go
  12. High mount = good times!
  13. Yeah the FG exhaust manifold is pretty good, I've got a GT45 on it with 50mm external off the housing...dead flat 22psi
  14. yeah we sqeezed 340ish from the stocker. It has low mount GT4596R turbo, 50mm external wastegate, V2.0 intcooler/intake/bat swap kit, 3.5inch stainless exhaust, 60lb Siemens injs, twin 044 fuel system Currently doing valve springs, head studs and loads more boost, tuning at Crescent Motorsport
  15. We pushed 370wkws from my G6 before the springs gave up, so up to 16psi was fine (370kw), on 20psi there was minor float on the dyno but massive valve bounce on the road. So do them if your going to run high boost.
  16. Mate the twin system is quiet, deep idle but still fairly quiet factory sound, which is great if you want stock sound but alot more flow. the 3.5in is fairly quiet too but is a more louder on full throt/boost... changing the rear muffler for a straight through free's the exhaust up alot more and can sound pretty horn... but louder.
  17. Yeah it got the big fella up quick. Looks like your closer to it now, 60ft'r should be great.
  18. You need the widest tyre you can fit, if your after a tyre for daily use and track, MTs arnt too good, soft sidewalls that roll bad on corners, but awesome in a straight line/ launch. If you run a proper semi-slick (circuit) you really need to run them on the front too, due to the difference in handling... you can get away with them just on the rear, for street use, just dont push hard corners.
  19. If the quality control is good then it'll be great for alot of high boost stock motors, but if its up and down in quality, there could be issues. Had a sketchy batch of 100 last week, car lost alot of power so shows the quality of 100 is up and down, usually is great.
  20. Can you explain that video, not for me but for all the guys that are seeing it and wondering what your testing?
  21. Its just louder then most poeple like. Yeah prices vary due to manufacturing costs more so than size.
  22. If your concerned about noise mate, go for the 3.5inch system... the 4inch is louder.
  23. That looks cool mate... it looks high though?
  24. Yes it would have to the engineered with the seat in, and all air bags opperating. For seats go to Revolution, they have a huge range.
  25. Looking good man, how's it feel under 2750rpm?
