I have them in my 364rwkw ba but are at the limit. you will need a walbro pump to replace the stock unit in the tank too, if you want reliability. also youll need to remember to keep the tank over 1/3 full. when the tank gets below that you will find that under heavy acceleration the motor will cut out as the fuel rushes to the back of the tank and the pump will only suck air. do not let this happen as the motor has a tendancy to blow when under load, and no fuel....a surge tank would fix this problem, but will cost about 1000 bucks to get one in your car.good luck!

You will have power similar to mine (my valve springs are standard and at their limit) and your problems will be resolved. Currently due to the 100cell cat and larger dump pipe is your main cause for overboosting.Believe me, after the custom tune I don't think you will be giving the wife the keys back in a hurry!

I personally would be waiting. Remember you've added more boost. I'm a bit nervous for you. Please get a custom tune asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it on the dyno asap and especially being a BA just dont give it a bootfull until you do. Then take on board the advice they give whether its ok or whether it needs a custom tune... $1000 more better than a blown engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeckyl Member 6 Member For: 14y 1m 7d Posted 09/03/11 05:17 AM Author Share Posted 09/03/11 05:17 AM ....playing with fire sometimes ends with somebody or something getting hurt...yeah in WA ... one of the reason's for my mail order tune and the questions I been asking is the distance from where I live to say XFT's workshop ...1700klms in fact, so the reason for my questions regarding what n why and how.Spoken with XFT and he assures me all will be sweet once run up on the dyno, but keep in mind how its been driven until this day.so what I've learned is say no to mail order tunes and mindfull for what you bolt on prior to a custom tune...thanks n regards..
