Ekul Member 15 Member For: 13y 9m 26d Gender: Male Location: Hawkes Bay - New Zealand Posted 09/07/11 06:24 AM Share Posted 09/07/11 06:24 AM Just been getting some tuning done to FG XR6 Ute (auto) 2011 with euro4 spec. Fitted 968's and got some good street power now. When on the dyno trying to get a clean power run in it would change down even if in manual tiptronic and made it impossible to trace a good line all the way through. Just spin up the tyres on the dyno even tied down hard.Also, is there some kind of torque limiting control on 1st and 2nd gear that reduces boost until it hits 3rd gear? couldn't find any way of getting in to the program to change this?Any clues would be good,Cheers.

Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 8m 20d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 09/07/11 06:40 AM Share Posted 09/07/11 06:40 AM Who's tuning it? I'd be a bit worried if they didn't know.. And 968's probably to small as well.Short answer would be yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't 60's for roughly the same price be better so if you choose the go for more power later on you don't have to buy another set of injectors?

He's doing the right things and playing it safe, but learning at the same time.Living where I do, I cant just drive up the road and find a Ford performance tuner that has done 200 tunes and knows the ins and outs - so really just trying to read between the lines, as there is so many different views.Appreciate your views though guys, we'll just keep plugging away. Car is going great I might add pulls like a southbound coal train...except terminal velocity is somwhat higher!!Will keep asking dumb questions till I'm no longer dumb - Cheers, Luke.

Are there some high performance synthetic oils that can be used to good effect in the ZF 6sp. auto? (still factory oil at the moment)What is considered the best engine oil (using Mobil 1 0-40 at the mo) and axle oil (currently still factory), for the extra loading and heat etc?Is it worth putting in a lower temp opening thermostat etc?
