NEW, just opened to look at)to acquire:intercooler and piping kit... (was thinking stage 2 process west kit... thoughts, comments welcome)turbo wastegate modding.. spoke to a great company that will mod the turbo when I pull it off, half a day to perform the work and a very reasonable pricesurge tank and pump set up.. ( ideas on breed welcome )11.8psi actuatoranything else I have missed???Ultimately I am only looking for 500rwhpCheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83202-fg-f6-mods-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll make 500HP easy with those mods.With the surge tank, just grab a process west one or who ever else makes them.

F6Fury Member 135 Member For: 12y 4m 24d Posted 14/12/12 12:21 PM Share Posted 14/12/12 12:21 PM Sounds good but maybe think about a cold air box instead of the stock setup with the k&n filter,it was the 1st mod I made and I found a huge difference between the two,the one I used was a process west street airbox 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83202-fg-f6-mods-thread/#findComment-1337052 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was contemplating a PW intake kit/box, but I dont believe its money I need to spend right now. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83202-fg-f6-mods-thread/#findComment-1337068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been speaking with a company that previously did all our turbos from work, everything from tiny units to massive suckers off mining equipment. The first thing I said to him was "I have an XR6 Turbo.." and he said straight off the bat, "yep no worries, 38mm flapper, port the housing, cut in a flow path, face off the mount flange for a better seal, bead blast to blend it all together, rebuild, no worries at all mate, when do you want to drop it off?".... less than $500 here in perth!I will take photos before and after and if I am able to sit in on the machining work, photos of that too.If we had a Milling machine at work, I'd probably just do it myself, but alas, the machine shop was removed when we were bought out last year by a bigger company.... BUGGER..Anyway, I'll post up pics and measurements of what gets done.. It probably wont be until the new year now though.Cheers 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83202-fg-f6-mods-thread/#findComment-1337196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
