Finally Got A Xr6t New To The Site

[Focused]

Hey all.

New to the forum. 2 weeks ago got myself a 2003 BA XR6T 5 Speed with 48,000ks on the clock in blue print im for SA. This is my second falcon but 1st Turbo. Love the car and just dont know where to start when it comes to modding. Reading most the posts on here every1s done different things. I dont want to go crazy with mods but I would like to slowly build up a good amount of power.

I would like to get a flash tune firstly but at the same time will I need to do my injectors?

Thanks

Ryan

Have a read through the posts on here. Most will include a mods list like this one:

Edit

injectors

valve springs

cat

cooler

actuator

fuel pump

If you get to this point you will no doubt be needed a

clutch

rebuilding you 5 speed

New tyres!

Have fun!

Read through the sponsors and find your local ones, then check out their websites for some more info on tuning packages.

Definately the first 3 are what you would do initially (injectors, valve springs and a custom tune (edit). This should give you around about 300rwkw I think.

Then when you get used to that power, save up and do the others. Bare in mind, every time you do one of the bigger ones, eg. cooler, cat, actuator etc, you'll need to get it tuned again, which ads to the cost.

Good Luck!

Unfortunately, I beleive there is too much power coming out of these cars, gotta be a pain in the ass for the drivetrain and long term reliability.

I say valve springs, injectors, cat upgrade and centre muffler, phoon cooler and edit, 10-12psi. dont do anymore.

Maybe get near 300rwkw. I wouldnt go over if its a daily driver. or else you will pay up big time. $$$ Gearbox and diff giving up the ghost as well as excessive wear on motor. not just once, many a time over.. $$$$$

Ive seen the error in my ways, scared to give it a bootful as Im thinking its gonna cost ya some more. Do you want a drag car or a powerful reliable cruiser. Put a lid on the power you aiming for and balance it with your intended use of the vehicle.

Hulk, I hate to burst your bubble but you have got nearly all of it wrong but then again I could be wrong.

Facts: 2003 March 18th XR6T, 4 days to 5 years old 158,000 kms, restricted to 340 RWKW and not afraid to use it.

Fellow cruisers will tell you that this old fart can whip it good.

Get 50kms per tank more on both cycles than when standard

Had the auto trans rebuilt at 150,000 kms, diff and cv's still working, engine has had only valve springs upgraded.

However the point missed is STOP the GO. Brake upgrade is a real necessity, I have slotted rotors, racing pads and dot 5.1 fluid.

Seen enough cruisers imitating a bush fire at the bottom of conrod straight.

Yeah that's what im thinking Hulk. Nothing crazy but some decent power. 300rwkw is round the mark that im looking for and nothing more.
