hey guys, so I used to own a BF MKII F6 Typhoon, sold it and went in to the skyline business with a R34 GTR.... trying to sell It at the moment but replaced it with a F6X. as previously owning a F6 I know what they are capable of, but the thing is this time round its a 4WD and not to many people have modded them. I have a few questions for the guys that have modded them. im only looking to run around 270-300awkw, ive heard running 320awkw or more things don't last for a long time so I think 270-300awkw is safe and some good power for now. FMIC - I for one thing its stupid paying $2000 for plazmaman kit, so I rung plazmaman and asked them the size of the intercooler they use. its 400Wx450Lx76(3 inch ) thick. so im thinking there are plenty of near size intercoolers around to buy, also buy a 3 inch piping kit and cut and use them to make it fit.... might take some playing around but for $500-$800 you have just saved yourself around $1300. thoughts? INJECTORS - from memory I ran 440cc inj in my F6 Typhoon, but im think anywhere around the 600cc mark will be plenty. TURBO - don't get me wrong, I love the turbo response of my GT3582 (0.63)ar comes on boost very quick... but dies off. had the same issue with my F6 it was an animal when you put your foot down (360kw) but top end ran out of puff. so on my GTR I have a HKS T51R KAI BB, it is the best sounding turbo out there. and yep I bought one for the F6X because I love the sound. it might be a bit laggier comared to the standard turbo but I know it will pull all the way to the end and that's the feel I want not having to short shift. it is a 800hp turbo, but its very unique sound will definatly make heads turn. so to that Manifold - I will need a manifold, has anyone got custom or even a aftermarket manifold for there TT or F6x? I will be looking for a top mount v band flange, with 60mm wastegate possibly screamer but unsure yet. I don't think I will need much more to get the desired kw range Im after, ill only be running around 13-16 pound boost so I think that should be plenty. whats everyones thoughts? or suggestions?
