Anyone got one?http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/COLD-AIR-INTAKE-KIT-FG-XR6-TURBO-XR6-6-CYL-ALL-FG-6CYL-MODELS-/350494826082?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item519b1e9e62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 29d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 04/01/12 08:19 PM Share Posted 04/01/12 08:19 PM Intake = Shiite.. It's hard to install in the turbos.. It doesn't actually fit anywhere near as good as that picture. The pod filter that comes with it is crap so you're gonna be out a further 150 for a K&N pod filter.. Which puts you in SS inductions growler territory (dollars wise)..With the intercoolers there was a thread (or three) on that in the intercooler section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entry level coolers from the the likes of rapid, plaz, PW will be the best.as for the intake...as porno panda said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 3m 28d Gender: Male Posted 27/01/12 02:03 AM Share Posted 27/01/12 02:03 AM I've just been reading through this thread, about 3 months ago I purchased a FG XR6T (prem sound + leather) which had the nizpro stage 3 kit fitted, it was pulling 383rwkw with a stock fuel pump for the past 2 and a bit years. I recently got it retuned at the same place to 407rwkw still running the stock fuel pump. I had the pump tested prior to the retune to make sure it could maintain the fuel flow as the safety of my engine is priority number 1, they were able to increase the fuel demand required by the engine at all revs by an added 20% to make sure it was well within safe limits and it appeared to have no issues with the extra demand. Just thought I would share the results I have found whilst using the stock FG fuel pump. Unfortunately its not a huge money saver by not changing it.

ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 3m 28d Gender: Male Posted 27/01/12 04:09 AM Share Posted 27/01/12 04:09 AM I did just have a brief read through the surge tank section. I should have realised that tests carried out on a dyno cannot take into account the effects of G-forces in regards to the pumps ability to sustain sufficient flow rate. Surge tank is now on the list when it goes in for the strengthened tail shaft and turbo side intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
