Just Scraped In

Hi to everyone. I have been a reader in the past, but decided to post after today's results. I have a BF series 2 xr6t with the auto. I am a regular at the Tassie dragway, and punt all my cars down the quarter. The BF stock ran 13.7 at 156km/h with 190rwkw. A generic tune over the net got me 233rwkw and 12.7 @173km/h plus a super street championship. Then last year I decided to bite the bullet and get a proper tune. The generic tune had been in the car for over 100,000km, so time for a change. I put 62lb injectors in it and had the tune done - with an increase to 273rwkw, but only a 12.6 at 179km/h. They also played around with the trans and stuffed the usual good shifts, so I was not happy overall with the result. Anyhow, I won the super street championship again, and remained the fastest xr6t over the quarter in Tas. So I decided last month to go for the next level. That resulted in tcp exhaust (4inch dump and cat, twin 2 1/2 after) , walbro pump, 4spot brembos and another tune. The exhaust is great - deep, a little bit noisier, and flows heaps. The pump is a little bit noisy.

Took it to GTgarage yesterday and picked it up today and was greeted with 303rwkw at 16psi. WOW! The trans is all back to nice as well. I love the feeling now. It feels like a low 12 sec car now, and has all of the nice characteristics at low boost. The dyno also tends to read low: cars with 340rwkw run around 300 at the wheels on this one, so I feel it is more than the actual number.

Which cat you use?

[conan]

I don't know what sort the cat was - it was supllied with the system. It was 4 inches in diameter and about 6 inches long

Sounds great! Post up when you run the quarter with the new power!

I still cant get over 12.7 with a generic 233rwkw... great time!

Yeah I was very happy with that number for $500. And it still did 100,000km no problems with fuel economy close to standard too. It's not so good now though!

Good job mate, still got the stock cooler or upgraded ??

[conan]

Stock cooler and filter. I just put one of those F6 intake rubber things on the front of the airbox, that's all. Like I said - not many mods for a good outcome.
