Weaponxr Donating Members 624 Member For: 14y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 16/12/11 07:06 AM Share Posted 16/12/11 07:06 AM This has been a long time coming and I have remained reasonably quiet to this day.I have had my 2006 BF XR6 Turbo for about a year now and have slowly gathered parts and it has had a couple of tunes and some work by a workshop. They fitted some 'hi flow' injectors, 12lb actuator, and gave it a custom tune with an Xcal3. This resulted in 281 rwkw which was great for the first week until I started seeing some undesirable things such as extremely poor fuel economy, rough idling, and out of control thermo fans which would just about kill the engine each time they switched on (every 2 minutes or so).So after gathering the rest of the parts and discussing various options and details with Mick and Bel from Pitlane for around 6 months or so, this week was the week for everything to happen (12th to the 16th of December).At this point I was to thank Mick, Belinda, and the team at Pitlane for carrying out the work on my car, they did a great job and it was to a standard that I would find hard to duplicate anywhere else. They restored my faith in my car at a time when this would have been a keep or sell situation depending on the outcome by Pitlane.As the car sits now the following mods are done;-AVO intercooler kit-BPR CAI-Injector Dynamics 725cc injectors-12 lb turbo actuator and wastegate port-Hi flow thermostat-Earls turbo oil feed filter-Walbro intank fuel pump-Full turbo back Xforce exhaust (4inch dump, twin 2 1/2 inch system)-Xcal 3 full custom tune by PitlaneThe result is 329 rwkw and 649.3NM of torque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
