tonyd05 Member 8 Member For: 20y 9m Posted 04/05/04 11:37 AM Share Posted 04/05/04 11:37 AM Good day guys,Just curious to know if it is possible to reach 300+Kw using standard injectors?A Ford dealer thinks so in their aftermarket package; front mount intercooler (PWR), computer including sensors, exhaust (from turbo) and 9 pound boost! Can it be done???All feedback taken, like anything there are lots of different opinions.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you expand on what $$ this package is and the dealer? Oh, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

tonyd05 Member 8 Member For: 20y 9m Posted 05/05/04 12:44 PM Author Share Posted 05/05/04 12:44 PM Good day guys,Thanks for the welcome ZapXR6T.The dealer fitted kit is not cheap:Stage 1- Chip Smart computer 270Kw $1650.00Stage 2- Intercooler with plumbing Computer and sensor mods inc fuel regulator 3 inch stainless steel exhaust from turbo with cat Air box 300+Kw $8500.00Not cheap, but if you spend 50K buying a car whats another 10K modifying it and you get to keep the warranty (written). Also the car comes with a compliance plate of sort noting the mods as factory options (no engineers, insurance or cops can hasle you, in theory)I ordered the car 3 months ago and have been looking at the options in that time, it will be getting the stage 2 fitted on Monday at New Oak Ford (FPV in Caulfield) and I will let you know how it goes. If you compare the price of a high performance exhaust for a GT at $4500 and the fact that I have seen numerous cars receive that mod then the turbo mod seems reasonable. The 300Kw is conservative, for obvious reasons but it can be packed to throw a punch. I contacted APS, Nizpro, AVO, ATS(P) all great packages and service I am sure but the dealer is probably the best bet until warranties expire, technically they designed the car so they should know about it. Im not planning to break land speed records just have a well balanced car.All my opinion, I could be wrong!Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet that it is a dealer warranty and not a Ford warranty. I would be reading the fine print VERY carefully as you might get a shock if you do the diff or gearbox.Also for $10k you could get the whole APS phase 3 kit...that's 390kw, but not the same warranty.Either way you will be happy with a T (so im told) and the extra KW will just widen your smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyd05 Member 8 Member For: 20y 9m Posted 05/05/04 01:21 PM Author Share Posted 05/05/04 01:21 PM Good day ZapXR6T,We have a fleet of some 8 cars maintained by the dealer and a buying relationship stretching over 20 years, I would hate to think it necessary to read the fine print.I owned a VL Turbo highly moded from new, great car and with 390+Kw not really a daily driver. The point of huge power figures should be looked for after the warrenty expires, better to spend 10K and buy an 11sec VL in that case and keep the BA standard as they are quick as it is.I really need a car capable of daily use and have had bad experiences with small (in-efficient) intercoolers in high temp/traffic in the past.Again guys, just my opinion! Great carsCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Zap, I would be very surprised that you would have a Ford warranty on a vehicle so heavily modified especially given Ford's latest directive to dealers about Warranty which you can read in this recently discussed thread HERE.In summary, all Zap and I are saying is "buyer beware" which is great advice in any situation.Safe and happy driving...Dr Z.

When I pick up my car next week I will ask to see their warranty guy and see if a bit of beer talk can allow me at least cold air induction I had a very good relationship with my Mitsubishi dealer and their service department, I guess I can try the same with my new ford dealership.

Haven't heard of any dealer having an issue with these minor enhancements.Maybe others have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
