broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 3m 12d Gender: Male Posted 08/05/12 03:27 AM Share Posted 08/05/12 03:27 AM (edited) just spoke to the mechanic/tuning mob over the road from my work and discussed briefly about tunes.he said he has a custom tune from his G6E that he could load and modify. he did talk about seeing how far he could get a tune with stock injectors but form reading here im under the impression its not much. he also said that if I wanted they will gut the cat if I wanted to save cash.he was concerned about the fuel system (pump) when approaching 300kw that I "may" need a new pump. but I told him im really only chasing 270-290 type numbers for now. he's ordering me a flash tuner though which is good to know.im not wholely convinced at present though as what he says doesnt instill a heap of confidence given what im reading on here, I almost tend to trust you guys on here a little more at the moment haha.EDIT: oh and he gets his tunes from a guy named Dave from Mackay who is an "XR6T tuning god" he says Edited 08/05/12 03:29 AM by broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also your speedo might be slightly out.Can you adjust the speedo reading with tuning if you change to 20s or is it a fixed gearing thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 5m 25d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 11/06/12 10:50 PM Share Posted 11/06/12 10:50 PM Speedo can be calibrated however if the rolling diameter is close to the same with the 20s it shouldn't be out by much.. Do a quick check with a gps on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear from a few people should be alright to put on and not tune as I am going to put them on then gather up injectors, hi flow cat and then get them to install the cat and injectors and tune it. should this be ok?also im not t sure about a flash tune and getting a xcal and tuning it...is a flash tune where you only have one tune on the factory comp and getting a xcal means you can have up to three?cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can hold 3 tunes plus the stock (which is unusable) tune.Id get all the bits and put them on all at once, dont go risking driving with no tune and the intercooler changed it may be alright but it may not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
