Jeremy Member 112 Member For: 16y 11m 27d Gender: Male Location: Perth mindaz Posted 15/06/08 10:48 AM Share Posted 15/06/08 10:48 AM hey all,in a little bit of a crisis.I have just brought a Full Process West "stealth" intercooler kit with the F6 R-spec plenum for my xr6 turbo aswell as a PW surge tank.Cost me around $4000 and ive already spent over $7000 on my car already.ive got around 320rwkw atm (xforce exhaust, inj, CAI, pump, springs, malwood opt3) but ive wanted to hit the 360-380rwkw mark since ive got the car. ive got the money to get the parts on and all tuned up but really dont want to spend ANYMORE on it. with all this added to my car could I run a daily 360rwkw car?when I say daily I;m reffering to internals etc, like I dont want to run this power level and then 2 months time have a $4000 engine rebuild cause ive thrown a rod. wat sort of power should I seek to run every day reliable car? (please guys dont say stock)or would my best option be just sell the cooler kit and leave it at where it is (320rwkw)all advice welcome!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the phoon bottom end)... I have heard of guys and I know a guy that's running 366rwkw (xrboost) on a 04 BA with just valve springs done.I know that I will not have to run real high boost to achive 350rwkw with the cooler setup, plenum etc... for 15psi I should see around 350rwkw ay?I dont really know the finer details of the engine so that's why im seeking advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your new extra's fitted, and then get the car retuned on a very low boost setting so it still make's similar power as now, but more efficiently.

I know that with the same setup on a typhoon I would be at the 400rwkw stage...how much is a phoon bottom end?I can see myself going down that track very shortly... I didnt buy all these good performance parts to run them at half their potential..see wat I mean guys.. im a sucker to the mod bug :( lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
