DavidRotheray Member 5 Member For: 14y 10m 9d Posted 15/06/10 09:27 AM Share Posted 15/06/10 09:27 AM (edited) Guys,Come across a deal for a set of 60lb injectors and a X3 tuner with 3 tunes on it from a company called Intune Motorsport. 8psi, 10psi and valet tune. Would these be any good, mainly safe? I'm assuming it should be ok, it will be on a stock XR6T, I only want to do injectors and a 10psi tune to get her up to ~250rwkw. Are mail order tunes any good in general?ALSOWith the same kit from CAPA (300-330kw kit?) that comes with Injectors and Flashtuner, is this preloaded with maps, or do I need to take it somewhere?I live 3 hours up from Brisbane and just want a set of injectors and a tune to open her up a bit from the factory tune. Would these be ok for what I am chasing?DaveEbay Link: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-FLASH-TUNER-X3-60-lb-INJECTORS-XR6-Turbo-F6-/180520950822?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a07e31c26 Edited 15/06/10 09:27 AM by DavidRotheray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be worried with a generic tune that you are gonna bend a rod or blow a piston out the bottom end...Save up and drive to somewhere you can get the custom tune... Stay the night... Make it a mini holiday... And walk away SAFE and HAPPY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidRotheray Member 5 Member For: 14y 10m 9d Posted 15/06/10 09:17 PM Author Share Posted 15/06/10 09:17 PM I figured as much, I'm new to the XR6T crowd, coming from an S15 and a WRX you'd laugh if someone said something about a generic tune, but then with all these flash tuners on the Fords, alot of people have with the XR6T, so thought it'd be worth a shot to ask.Is there any tuners up the Fraser Coast way at all, or are they all down Brisbane & the coasts?As for warranty it's an 04, so no warranty on her anymore. Picked her up cheap from an old guy that was upgrading, 04 white sedan, full leather and premium sound, 90thou k's Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had all the money for some nice upgrades and my gearbox shat itself, so back to square one.CheersMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never run a generic tune. Spend the money on the custom tune and at least u know where its done and can get feedback on any person/workshop before u go ahead.
