FOONIN Donating Members 678 Member For: 15y 9m 25d Gender: Male Location: CHCH NZ Posted 25/10/10 06:51 PM Share Posted 25/10/10 06:51 PM Well I was looking at doing major mods until I thought about the fact I am in a BA. Too risky. So now until I save for my dream BF II manual 6spd typhoon prem sound and leather interior that I would do a couple of minors mods which dont need a tune just yet. This is what I had in mind:F6 intakeF6 cooler3inch exhaust since It wont need a tune, unlike 3.5inch. Also hopefully with a race CAT but id say it would overboost.Anyone think of anything else? If I was going to tune it I probably would only seek 280rwkw – 300rwkw. Don’t wanna put too much pressure on the old girl. Not until I get my BF II :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ecu won't know what hit it and you run a high risk of knock and hurting the engine. And as you said, without a tune it will make bugger all difference. If you do anything like that make sure you do tune it though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sensors unlike the BF. Will see though. As soon as I chip it I lose my mech. warrantly so trying to balance it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car may try and play with it causing bad things to happen with your engine components (possibly) or it will just shut down and take boost and timing away. But yeh it will effect it.

IMO get the good sh*t on it now, or be happy with just a tune on the BA and leave the goodies in the shed, for the bf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you guys recommend for say 280rwkw to 300rwkw? Or enough rwKW to take any standard FPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need new injectors and a tune as well. All this stuff you can just put on the F6 when you get that to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The auto won't last too long with around 300 at the wheels, which you'd prob need to beat an standard FG F6..It can be done cheap, second hand injectors, gutted cat, monza cooler, but if your valve springs are week and boost can't be controlled well, and then u got to worry bout your auto, then it will add up and not worth it when your gonna get an F6 later on anyway..How long till you get the F6? I say save for your 'dream' F6, get a tune on the ba, maybe some injectors and be happy with that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
