JETFPV Donating Members 672 Member For: 17y 4m 30d Gender: Male Posted 01/03/08 10:51 AM Author Share Posted 01/03/08 10:51 AM Jared did you bring the gaps down on te plugs when you put the 10psi tune in it.?My mate had a brand new BA XR6T MK2 ute new from the showroom floor and his only made 169.9rwkw on same dyno as mine was tested on, and his was 6spd manuel, also today I witnessed a stock as a rock BF Typhoon 6spd manuel make 240.3rwkw on the same dyno mine was tested on on factory boost.Apparently the valve springs on the BA Mk1 are absolute rubbish and may contribute to the lowish power figures im now getting, so im off to get them changed in the next week or so and see what happens then.My mate who does the dyno'ing on my car has said ford used to test some cars on his dyno and some typhoons used to struggle to make 200rwkw and he said some stock xr6t's were freaks 1 even making 235rwkw on his dyno so I think it must be just the way it is, some people get the freaks and some get the duds, im with you hahaha, dissapointing I know but ahwell what can you do.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely be getting a custom tune too but I need to bring the power up to standard first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETFPV Donating Members 672 Member For: 17y 4m 30d Gender: Male Posted 01/03/08 01:22 PM Author Share Posted 01/03/08 01:22 PM Have you had the car dyno'd before the you performed the 10psi tune ?.Mine had a 10psi tune when I bought it everything else was totally stock and it could only muster 185rwkw but ive read on here heaps of people with same boost making 200-240rwkw on just 10psi alone.I removed centre muffler fitted a Rajab Cooler, Typhoon lower airbox with 2nd CAI but still have the ford factory element which is abit grubby looking until I go and buy a K&N flat panel filter.Got it custom tuned as I wasnt sure if it had just the generic 10psi tune and anyhow after the custom tune it picked up to 218.3rwkw on 10psi dropping back to about 7.9-8psi.I have now purchased injectors, (Deka's) and are getting valve springs done and upping the boost to about 15psi and changing some piping sections so ill see how it goes then.

LIke I said first it seemed like it went better when I first bought it even on factory tune compared to the 10 psi I have now, which the dyno proves.
