Evening everyone, I recently had a question that despite my research can’t find a definitive answer online and was wondering if the infinite wisdom of these forums might lend an insight into it. My xr6 turbo has been tuned a few years ago and since then I have deleted the factory middle muffler (dual in/dual out) with dual straight pipes, keeping the rear muffler in place and have no issues whatsoever with air/fuel ratio. I now am curious about whether I add a straight through muffler (dual in/dual out) at the rear instead of the chambered factory one, whether this will cause any leaning out without a retune? it still has factory dump/cat. opinions?

Hi all, I’m new to the forum and have started up my bf atomic built Barra in a Te cortina. I have this on the dyno and I’m not real sure on ignition timing since my Backround mechanical knowledge is in the diesel field.

Gday all, just wanting to get some advice & info on dyno tuners. what is the normal cost for a tune ? and what would they normally achieve ? I rang CGR in Narrabeen and they advised $1400.. I said that's quite steep and they said that's from scratch. so they advised they can do per hour @ $220.. I said how many hours will it need? all I want is to get a bit of extra power / boost. If the car already has a tune, will a new tuner need to do it from scratch or can they just go from where the car is currently at ? Cheers, Ian

Birthday coming up and rather than the usual sh1t that old fa*ts like me get - I thought about some more mods. Sadly, the full list went south due to some employment issues. Anyhow, the xspurt 1000's were already paid for so they went into the BF (Manual). The existing Bosch Green tops (440cc) were right out of duty cycle capacity at the top end and the thinking was that just maybe the 1000's might tip it into the 300 club. The Result = No good in the power department. Perth showed ~31 degrees yesterday and it was more than that in the dyno cell. The factory F6 intercooler was really out of its league at 272RWKW with intake temps at 57c+ on run three and nothing would fix the resulting detonation (using 98 fuel.) Best run before all of this new work was 288 on a very much cooler day - so, the final tune saw power output down. Open to suggestions on an intercooler upgrade - leaning towards a bar/plate from a good supplier (plus some other items on re-employment..) However, what are the 1,000's like? Damn good IMO. The old injectors produced good start up and idle quality along with quite good low speed driveability. It is subjective but the 1,000's seem better to me. Idle is dead smooth at 750 (tacho) and the car will just piddle along in the gears in traffic with no surge or issues with returning to idle. Fuel usage - the same it seems - not using the on- board computer but a fill to fill measure - took it for a longish drive last night just for the hell of it. So, if you are going down the injector path these things are pretty good and of course, set you up for ethanol fuel.

Hi guys. I bought a 2009 G6Et with only 18000kms on it. Always been a V8Holden fan (for along while,im 45) drove the G6Et and had to have it. Got it tuned by a well known tuner in WA using HP soft ware and 60lb Siemens injectors. Ive had some issues that I wont go into as I just wanted to know what injectors most of you guys use and what the better software is,im thinking SCT after talking to some people. Already spent $2500 on injectors and a tune,4 weeks later im spending another $2500 tomorrow to get the ID injectors and SCT software. Any input would be greatly appreciated,THANKYOU in advance.

Hi, I am looking to buy a S/S exhaust system for my turbo sedan auto, I have looked at the exhaust from Best Mufflers which are selling the XForce system, I have searched on the site and read information, I'm not interested in straight through pipes. The trouble is neither company will tell me which brand of mufflers and cat they are using and it's making me very suspecious on the price. They look good but I don't know if they are any good. Are there people out there with these exhaust systems? If you could help me it would be great. Thanks Michael 2.bmp

I have an xr6 turbo ute that has an exhaust upgrade, pod filter and a pwr intercooler. im looking at doing some modifications and was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on 60lb injectors? Will they be compatible with my car? do I need a bigger fuel pump aswell? Will I need to get my car tuned? Cheers

Hi everyone, Sorry if I'm doubling up here, delete this post if necessary but just want to know peoples oppinions on tuning for my fg xr6 turbo. It's currently got a CAI and I've replaced the turbo intake muffler with 3" pipe and replaced the bosch bov for a turbosmart dual port BOV. Will it be more beneficial for me to get a proper dyno tune done or get a flash tune controller or what are good options? Its purely a road vehicle and I'm not really after shaving milliseconds off my quarter mile time but do like a bit of a punch when I drop the right foot. Also, and this is probably another topic but when its cold the revs surge around 200 - 400 rpm when you raise the revs a little bit. Idling it is steady but you can notice when you start driving aswell, the car surges a bit till it warms up. I read on here somewhere that a tune can fix this? It's been to ford for this problem but they took my money and gave the car back exactly the same :( Any input would be appreciated!
