Bet she goes like a rocket!I just had a couple of questions...Did you need to change the fuel pump to cope with the tune/bigger injectors? What about needing a new actuator? Haven't seen any F series boys put these on the list of mods yet... What about the valve springs? Were you advised to do them?And is this a fairly safe and reliable tune - In terms of gearbox and engine longevity?Congrats again mate - She's a beauty!Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F6 shares the same pump so the injector upgrade (to F6 440cc) was of course no problem. From memory, I think they're running at about 85% total duty cycle at this power level.Time over, I'd probably change the actuator but it does mean removing the turbo so extra costs there. If I went to that trouble, then I'd probably do the turbo mod also so again more $$. Bottom line, the standard one holds ok, but drops off in the upper rev range. Tuners work around this and still get good results.Valve springs are a hit and miss on FG. Mine held up.Car does not burn a drop of oil (Nulon 10w - 40) and by putting a mild gearbox tune in it, there is no reason with maintenance that it should'nt be as reliable as stock at this power.I get better fuel economy also on cruise than it did stock.Cheers, Bomber.PS. Got the new 'bigger' boots today Rims should hopefully come next week. Edited 02/02/12 10:31 AM by Bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see they'll shrink much on the rim with air in 'em. Edited 02/02/12 11:18 AM by Bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
