Greasemonkey086 New Member 7 Member For: 8y 9m 22d Posted 04/01/16 08:31 AM Share Posted 04/01/16 08:31 AM Hey all, im new to these forums. Just bought a 03 BA XR6Turbo with 129,000kms. Who are the best tuners in melbourne. A friend of mine reccomended me to Springy Motors as they did all of his work to his Subaru with great results. Anyone had experience with them tuning there XR6? Also should I tune with HP Tuners or Xcal? Car is stock standard at the moment. Eventually want 300rwkws but aiming for 240-260rwkw to start with. Any advice is welcomeCheers Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitlane are a forum sponsor and have a very good rep in tuning FalconsOr ring around and get a feel off the many tuners in Melbourne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats on that BA sound pretty good, must have been a good find.FYI, the numbers you're talking about are reasonable for the BA. Any more than that and there are flow on issues with rods, boxes, pistons etc.I would probably recommend against your friends suggestion, I don't doubt he's tuned a good subaru, but you've got a ford. There are some shops that pretty much specialist in xr's and the knowlege base amongst them is vast. One of the tuners here is pitlane automotive (in the east). Most if not all members highly regard their work, assistance & knowledge. Maybe give them a call 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite mad but a good tuner.Is he still there? As said Pitlane have a great rep hereHope this helps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasemonkey086 New Member 7 Member For: 8y 9m 22d Posted 04/01/16 09:10 AM Share Posted 04/01/16 09:10 AM Thanks for the replies. I live in the south eastern suburbs in ferntree gully. Only mod so far is turbosmart kompact plumback bov. From what I've read valvesprings is a must, should I do this first then followed by a highflow cat? What brands can you reccomend on the springs and cat? Sorry I'm a complete noob to these cars haha. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 04/01/16 10:47 AM Share Posted 04/01/16 10:47 AM (edited) I would also recommend pit lane...... proven mod/tune shop but if I were you, I would seriously look at going to your top kw wants straight up (as long as the tuna is comfy) as it will save you money in the long run --- until your trans, or something else goes Welcome to the forum mate. As has been said, start readingEditI see they're looking for a new floor manager Edited 04/01/16 10:48 AM by BenDoCo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bf that they did a tune only on and I have 250rwkw, just to give you an idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
