Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 7m 4d Posted 23/08/12 10:25 AM Author Share Posted 23/08/12 10:25 AM hmmmm hopefully see the tuner 2moro and see if he's keen on me sourcing most of the parts myself and just doing the tune. I think injectors, cat, cooler and pipes is how I want to go. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81582-an-unconventional-way-to-300rwkw/page/4/#findComment-1283946 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Plazmaman version though. Some of the ebay cheapies have a tight 90 bend onto the turbo. Mine actually goes in at 45 degrees.

X-force cat blew then had to buy a better more expensive cat and re-tune. I've spent nearly 1k on cat work and still have a std dump pipe lol. BUY the venom bolt up job!Venom bolt on dump 700PW stepped cooler 1100F6 injectors 300xcal & tune 1600= $3700/300rwkw+Do the pipes and airbox if you like down the track...and you wont need to pay for a retune 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81582-an-unconventional-way-to-300rwkw/page/4/#findComment-1284009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have an airbox cut open with K n N so would just need the intake pipe. And yea Bomber If I get one it'll be Plaz or Rapid if I get one.Yea that's ESP at Queanbeyan. If I source my own parts then I might go to gentech but looked at their prices and its cheaper to go to CV or Tunehouse in Sydney then go to Gentech. But yea might go see them and see what they suggest and see how much they charge for injectors, cat install and tune.

Personally I'd rather cooler and piping than dump but they must include it in this package of theirs for a reason?cooler/cat/injectors first.dump not necessary at this stage.

When you shop around its not about price, its more about service and how you feel about the tuners and things like that. Make sure its not about price.I had an 'experience' with a 'tuner' and it never felt right and I was never completley happy with the car. I got to a point where I just wanted to get rid of it. Then I gave it all one last shot and shopped around, I never talked about price but instead how the service was and how I felt dealing with them.You can have all the 'goodies' in your engine you want but if it isnt tuned properly it will be an unfulfilling experience 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81582-an-unconventional-way-to-300rwkw/page/4/#findComment-1284080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 15y 12d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 23/08/12 09:22 PM Share Posted 23/08/12 09:22 PM Mate you've got some good tuner options in C&V, Tunehouse and CMS. If you're sticking with the small turbo, don't do a dump. All it will do is compromise the tune unless you mod the turbo and that will cost you around $800. The venom bolt up job with the stock zorst will get the job done. George is also releasing a bolt up mid section shortly to remove middle muffler if you want a bit of noise. All bolt up stuff = no labour if you do it yourself Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81582-an-unconventional-way-to-300rwkw/page/4/#findComment-1284108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
