TBULNC Member 8 Member For: 12y 8m 10d Posted 04/10/12 02:50 AM Share Posted 04/10/12 02:50 AM Hi all, I've been a regular on AFF Forums for quite a while with my N/A BF XR6 ( ill put a few pics up of her) but have now decided its time for boost! Picking the new girl up Friday or Monday, very excited!The new rig is a BA2 turbo, 6 speed manual 345rwkw, I know very little about whats been done, but ill let you guys know in case you can see any issue or things to look out for in the near future in regards to how its been tuned. As far as I know, Custom intake plenum, CAPA intercooler with full 3'' piping, under battery intake, full exhaust system (which is huge by the way!), running 18psi, has 3 flash tunes with it done by CORSA, Nizpro valve springs, and probably a lot more that Ive forgotten.that's about all for the engine side of things, she's also got a built LSD good for 450rwkw, and big brakes.My main concern it that apart from the Nizpro valve springs, the engine internals are dead stock. That being said its had over 300kw for years, engine has only done 56,000. So to all you tuners out there, how much further do you think the power could be pushed before I need to open up the engine?Now for some fun stuff!Heres the old BF ( which is for sale by the way!)And heres the only pic I have of the T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82220-posting-to-say-hi-and-introduce-myself-and-my-new-ride/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBULNC Member 8 Member For: 12y 8m 10d Posted 04/10/12 06:53 AM Author Share Posted 04/10/12 06:53 AM Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Being a BA2, does it have the stronger bottom end and stock valve springs or is that just BF?Would you recommend not giving it too much on 18psi or what? One of the tunes is for 7psi, probably a better option for every day would you say?That being said its been running that much boost for quite a few years now, if it was gunna go, wouldnt it have already?Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82220-posting-to-say-hi-and-introduce-myself-and-my-new-ride/#findComment-1304669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good advice was given above, go see Ratter (or another reputable tune shop) and get a dyno run just to check it out. It's something everyone should do when buying any second hand tuned car.

TBULNC Member 8 Member For: 12y 8m 10d Posted 04/10/12 08:24 AM Author Share Posted 04/10/12 08:24 AM Yeah I'll definatly get her dyno'd asap, only problem is we have no really reputable dynos in town, but I can at least get a power figure.I might save the 18psi tune for every now and again and just run her at 7psi for the majority of the time, that way when I do feel like flexing it, the possibility of it going bang is much lower.
