Phase 1 Any Problems

[AJJ]

Ha guys

I have a XR6T ute BF 6 sp man, with only 25000km's on it.

This is the first car I have had with factory warranty on it, and I am trying to work out if I should lose this for more power.

I have had this car for about 3 months and the problem I have is that it just feels slow now.

However I know this isn't the case when I drive my girlfriends Echo, or look in the rear view mirror.

I have been having that mod vs warranty issue that some of us have.

I understand the mindset of "play and pay" the issue isnt trying to get around ford warranty, I understand this is gone once you edit.

I just want to try and look at all the factor's before I do anything.

I have been looking at getting the phase 1 kit fitted ( injectors, customer tune ) estimate 310kw at the engine, for $ 2400.

What I want to know is with this mild power up, will there be issue with breakages.

have you guys had any issue with the engine, or drive train.

I understand with a generic edit, there has been engines blow, but has there been any on custom tunes.

or any other problems.

Guys with injectors and custom tunes how many k's have you racked up.

Also is $2400 a good price, and what else need to be considered with this power up, clutch or is this o.k at this level.

Thanks for your time

The only issue you will run into with your particular car will be the clutch. They aren't very good at coping with power levels above stock so maybe budget for that at the same time.

Also, $2400 seems a bit on the pricey side so maybe have a shop around? Where was that quote from & which state are you in??

What cost should you be looking at for flash tuner, injectors and custom tune?

If you do the shopping for bits

Injectors Seimens 60 lb $400 approx Bosch 42lb (ev6) $400 approx Fitting 2 hrs tops $180

Flash tuner Series 1 $600 to 650 (or less )

Tune $500 to 800

$1850 to $2050

you should get 280 /290 rwkw more or less

saying that you will get 310fwkw is meaningless

Flash boxes can be had for less than $500 so just search around on the forums & make some phone calls to a few of the site advertisers

I wouldn't be paying more than $1800 for what you've listed so the extra dosh could be spent on a hi flow cat, upping power to ~300rwkw. Then the clutch will definitely need attention!!
