sct911 Member 848 Member For: 12y 1m 6d Gender: Male Posted 10/08/13 12:56 AM Share Posted 10/08/13 12:56 AM Plenty of guys running over 400rwkw on standard BF and FG motors with just upgraded valve springs. fair enough, just thought the 400+kw guys were usually in an FG F6, not FG turbo motor. Many FG turbo motors gone bang with 400+ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect mine to last forever, but it will probably last longer than it would have on 98 fuel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 4m 10d Gender: Male Posted 10/08/13 08:09 AM Author Share Posted 10/08/13 08:09 AM Yeah tailshaft and all the joints are upgraded, only part that wasn't was the spline or whatever it is that goes into the diff.The ZF will eventually require a rebuild, though they reckon it should last quite a while on street tyres now that it has been returned to exactly how it came out the factory. The diff bushes finally crapped themselves last night as well, so will go and get them replaced under warranty but using nolathane bushes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
