NeedmorePower Member 192 Member For: 19y 1m 3d Posted 07/10/08 07:59 AM Share Posted 07/10/08 07:59 AM these are the mods to my car nizpro vlave springs, injectors, 3.5 inch custom exhuast system cat guttered, intank fuel pump, plazmaman plenium and rapids cooler, tranny rebuilt.Nizpro tried very hard to get more power through the car, but they have blamed my exhuast system as its bottling it up. the car is at 14.5 psi from memory. they also said the inlet temps are to high I think they said 39deg so has any1 got a 3.5 inch system for sale (xforce).any suggestions on such a low power would be considered....And please lets nor bag the tuner. im curious as some1 else has had a similuir problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a cat... $1500 will get you a 4 inch dump, 3.5 cat and exhaust on ebay XFORCE full stainless..Have you upgraded the actuator? Doesn't say it in your mods? This needs to be done. Go for 12psi... Will hold boost well up to 18-20psi... If you have the stock one, it wont hold boost.You can also port your wastegate and fit a larger flapper valve...Have you plugs been regapped and how old are they? What about your fuel filter... This can play a major part in low power.Check all these and you should be around 330-350 definitely with your setup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nizpro are obviously very very experienced, if not pioneers of tuning the XR6T so im sure they would have a good idea of what is holding it back and would be very well equipped to go through the elimination process to find out what it is...Saying that - It is a low number so always good to ask!
