andrich Member 94 Member For: 16y 2m 26d Posted 22/03/11 12:00 PM Share Posted 22/03/11 12:00 PM Hey guys,I want to gauge the general consensus on whether people think I will need a retune with a new UB intake.I currently have my BA xr6t tuned to 10psi with 60lb Dekas, F6 intercooler, F6 intake and centre muffler removed. I recently bought a Rapid Systems UB intake but then realised I cannot use it with the standard cooler piping.However chris from Rapid said I can use his replacement pipe for the cold side piping, thus allowing me to use the UB intake.My worry is that it might need a retune because of the less restrictive piping. What do you guys think?Two of the guys I have spoken to think it should be fine and just reckons its best to just chuck it on a dyno and make sure that everythings ok. I tend to agree but was just after some more imput.Sorry for the novel...lolcheersMichael Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73928-ub-intakenew-piping-and-tune/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as others have said its worth chucking on the dyno to get a sure read. Keep in mind that the factory ECU is not that dumb and locked in to a particular setting. It can adjust according to air temp barro perssures etc, so that pipe change would fall within its perimeters/tolerances any way.

Intake sound and flutter (I run no BOV).This was on stock boost, drivers window up, This is camera stuck to front lower grill (infront of intercooler) gets a heaps of wind noise but you get the idea. stock boost as well. Made 211kw with this intake on stock tune and the AFR were safe as. Ended up with 315kw on 12psi with just the basic 300kw bolt-ons like injectors , cat and intercooler.

Didn't notice anything different. Decent creek crossing is another story though lol. Unless you have foglight removed and stone tray removed its quite covered.

This worth getting? I try avoid puddles when it rains but it's impossible to dodge all of them.
