Connor Member 15 Member For: 16y 4m 3d Posted 27/05/09 03:32 PM Share Posted 27/05/09 03:32 PM Just got my car tuned with f6 snorkle, injectors and stage 2 PW intercooler. Good power for mods I reckonHowever clutch is slipping bad third and fourthA quick question to any other guys who had their cars tuned to 300+kw, does your rev limiter cut out at around 5300rpm? My car didnt before the tune but now I cant really take it passed 5, this gives me a real short power band of 4000-5000, to get to 100km/h I need to be 1/3 way through third. Car is a 2003 BA xr6 5 speedthanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly valve springs. This or another problem should have been identified on the dyno/road test prior to taking the car away. Take it back to the tuner ASAP2/ Your clutch is probably toast, budget for an upgrade3/ Also at that power level your gearbox will grenade itself sooner rather than later budget for a T56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Member 15 Member For: 16y 4m 3d Posted 29/05/09 09:00 AM Author Share Posted 29/05/09 09:00 AM The valve springs and fuel pump are stock. I asked for a safe tune and they gave me 306kw :SYeah they said the gearbox is on its way out and I'm saving for a clutch atm.I Drove my car today and it seemed to go to 5,500 alright without it cutting out (stop pulling). Is it supposed to be able to rev all the way to 7,000rpm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
