First Mods

[Boost Boy]

I'm new to the turbo game but I've just recently bought a BFMk2 Turbo in Neo optioned up to 18's. Just going through the long wait to the 25th of November for delivery. Any way just sold my house got spare cash and I'd just like to know of some mods that I can get done first to burn up $5000 that I,ve earmarked.

If you are worried about Warranty then it's Floor mats for you.

If not then, Edit, injectors,cooler,Valve springs, Cat, Sway bars, Bilsteins Dampers and bigger rims.

Would that be all covered in $5000?

[JimmyXR6T04]

edit and tune approx $1500

Cat - approx $500 fitted

Injectors - approx $600 (not sure on cost to fit)

Intercooler $550 fitted (wog cooler)

fuel pump - approx $250-400 depends who you go through and what type

If its a manual you'll need a clutch - approx $1200-1500

Lowered springs - $400 fitted

CAI - typhoon style around $50

Quite possible to do for $5000

Those mods should comfortably see 280-320rwkw. best bet is to shop around. Being a BF2, I doubt you'll need valve springs.

Neo is an awesome colour, if it was out in the BF1 I would have got it.

Apart from making it go harder, I think the first Mod should be front and rear swaybars. Whiteline 27mm on the front and 24mm on the rear. Its a relatively cheap Mod for about 300-400, but make heaps of difference to stiffening up the body.

So where are ya pics??

I'm getting the 6 speed manual. I test drove the auto but just had enough of them. The car should be in Fords production line up Monday ready for building so get no pics yet but when I get it I'll post them. Could spend more than $5000 got to put my new babies street cred beyond doubt.

I reckon that's perfect! in an auto it would do 11s, but is still perfectly street able...

I Picked up my new BFMKII T with FZ on Tuesday. I intend to get an edit, F6 CAI, Wog Cooler and Possibly injectors. I will see what rwkw I get before I fit new injectors. If I can get close to 300 rwkw without injectors or cat I will be happy.

Since I'm still waiting for my car and haven't had a good drive of a Xr6T what are they like to drive stock.

They go well. I had a BF XR6 NA before they are chalk and cheese. It is amazing how much difference there is to the drive. The NA was a nice car but nothing like the T. I am not sure if there was a problem with the auto on mt NA BF but the shift is so much more positive on the T. Before the BF NA I had a BAT Five Speed manual with an XR8 CAI and Xede with 233 rwkw, it was a great car to drive but I am hoping to have a few more ponies in the BFII. Even with only 233 rwkw in the BA the clutch used to struggle. There is no way I would have tried to drag it but I am hoping to give the BFII a run.
