First Mods

[Paradoxx]

I would just start with an edit and see how you like it. Not everyone wants tyre blistering power, work your way up in stages if you can afford it. You wont need valve springs, but it is very important to get some premium brakes if you plan on driving hard.

My BFII has bigger brakes as standard than my BAT had. I never had any real problems with the BA brakes a bit of fade on a couple of occasions.

I'm sick and tired of seeing these wank V8 Late model camira drivers thinking their invincible with their pretty fwkw badges adorning their car. In 2 weeks when I get my BFMk2 Turb my revenge will begin. Haven't even got my wheels yet and the mod bug has bitten me. Thanks for the advice you all have given to give me a start and keep it coming please. On the 25th I finally get to join the XR6T brotherhood.

First, I thought the BFs had the 2nd CAI as a standard feature?

Second, larger injectors aren't all about more outright power. We have already seen a few cases of Ts pushing 280-300rwkw on stock injectors, but that's only half the story.

I think there are a couple of issues here. One, at those power levels, the stock injectors will be close to or actually maxxing out, not ideal. Two, whilst the peak power may read in the high 200s, it's the driveability/sheer grunt of the car lower in the rev range that suffers. Larger injectors will allow more fuel at those crucial points lower in the rev range where lots of torque is being developed. More fuel will mean more torque lower down, which is where you really feel it in most (street) driving conditions.

My larger injectors didn't result in a great deal more overall power, but the pull I now have lower down is chalk and cheese compared to when I was running stock injectors.

After thinking about it your point about the larger injectors makes sense. Maximum power is not the main consideration as you don't spend much time there, driveability is the most important thing.

I thought so to. Apparently there is some confusion with the spare parts catalog. My new BFIIT does not have a second CAI

So with larger injectors aside do many agree with a a logical systematical approach to mods in a specific order to get a beginner going or is it more each to his own.

Exactly the point I was trying to make!

I think a systematic approach is best no matter what order you choose to do your mods in. It's always good to have an end goal in sight and work towards it - could save you time, trouble and a lot of money. For example, you may go Edit and custom tune, then soon decide you want to fit larger injectors. You'll then have to pay for another custom tune (which can be expensive, depending on who you use). But whether you do power, handling or other mods first is really up to you. Either way, there's stacks of great info to be found on the forum!

Nah dude.get it all done once and be happy. If I did it again that's what I would do

Well in regards to the BFMk2 XR6T what would all you in the know consider to be a real sore point that should be modded asap. Bearing in mind it might it will take me maybe a month to settle into my BFXR6 T 6 speed manual. My last decent car was a VS Executive so anything after that is a race car to me. Basically I want to gaet to know the XR6T well before I make big mod decisions.
