  1. Thanks mate. Your Ute will soon have a twin brother Regarding piping. Do I need hot side piping. I notice it’s optional in the cooler kits
  2. Thanks Aaron, I will call you when I start accumulating the bits. regards Phil
  3. My Ute is the same colour as the one in the video. Thanks boys. All advice has been taken onboard.
  4. Thanks puff. New coils locked in. One question. The CAI is under the battery. Is the still acceptable in 2018 or do I need to relocate battery. Would prefer the former. Thanks Phil
  5. G'day men Just a bit of an update. Had a session with Clint from Profile Autosports the other day. I said mate, wnen we pull the string, I want to land between 300 and 350rwkw, This is what he recommened. Intercooler: Plasmaman Stage 2. He thought that for a BF, this gives you more bang for buck. Fuel pump and injectors: I said I wanted 1000cc injectors, the rest was up to him. So a Walbro 416 and a hi flow regulator are in. Exhaust: I said Hi flow cat only but I'm open to hi flow exhaust if it's not noisy. He said check out Innovation Exhausts at Capalaba. They do a beautiful 3.5" exhaust with custom mufflers that are not over the top noisy. Xcal 4 tune New valve Springs: Ute is a BF Mk2. Never the less he recommended I should think about new springs as ute has done 250,000 klicks. I said yes. Wastegate, Flapper and Actuator will also get a massage. What do you blokes reckon Cheers Phil
  6. Ok guys thanks. When the job is done I will report back with some pics, cheers
  7. I live in Brisbane. I bought the intercooler months ago for $100 before I really got into this forum. I doesn't worry me getting a bigger, better one but if I did, what would you suggest Hi Puff, thanks for your input. Money won't be an issue but I don't want buy stuff if I don't need to. Intercoolers for example seem to be a common topic on here but realisticallly, this is a daily drive so will an F6 cooler handle normal driving habits with an occasional squirt here and there. Ok so upgrade fuel pump, no worries
  8. Evening Gents. I have been accumulating knowledge for a while on this fantastic forum and have decided to throw a thread up to gather some opinions and info. About 12 months ago I purchased a BF XR6 Turbo ute from the original owner. An old fart like me, he had never thrashed the car and it was absolutely stock. With 220,000 ks up, I was a little concerned but these fears we soon dissmissed. The car was a gem, immaculate inside and out. Between then and now, I have spent approx $4000 on a major service, replacing everything I could think of. Diff oil, ZF fluid and filter, brake pads + stainless lines, fuel filter, idler pulley, spark plugs, engine oil and filter, turbo housing and exhaust manifold bolt's tighten and replace ( 2 turbo bolts we're goooone ), crossover mounts replaced. Apart from that the only mods I have done are a K&N filter and an F6 headlight snorkel. So, the reason for the thread. I have decided a tune is in the near future. Originally, I was only going to get a modest tune only with no mods, aiming for no more than 260rwkw, but after spending many , many hours reading this encyclopedia of speed, I have decided I want MORE but not a lot more. Given my age, nearly 60, and the fact that this ute has never and will never do a burnout, and will never see a racetrack.....these are my parameters. = 280 to 300rwkw = boost 11-14 psi max = F6 intercooler = exhaust....Hi flow cat only = injectors... was originally going to run 42lb bosch but....what do you think = fuel pump ?? = X cal tune Thanks in advance for any wisdom Phil PS car is in Brisbane
