After a port and flapper mod and proper supporting mods these turbos can do upwards 380rwkw @17-18psi. It's more about what your tuner is comfortable pushing through the turbo and engine.

Its already modded running 300rwks before this second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azerium Member 19 Member For: 13y 1m 27d Posted 18/07/13 06:57 AM Author Share Posted 18/07/13 06:57 AM Yea after more research iv come to realise the stock cam will suffice more than enough to get more power.With 60lb injectors and a bigger fuel pump, 80lb valve springs, custom intake and VCT triple tune, I beleive reaching 300+ rwhp on moderate tune should be quiet easy and in the end, fitting all the parts with a couple of mechanics I know, plus the $1500 tune wont even set me back 3k in total. Seems like bang for buck in these things are right up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up putting in atomic stage 4+ cams in my bf without a high stall auto and fixed gears!! (Which they recommend using to run these cams) no other mods other than springs I gained 40rwkw on the same boost! And the sound is unreal! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 6m 26d Posted 18/07/13 07:59 AM Share Posted 18/07/13 07:59 AM Have you a link to your thread HSV ETR ?40kws is a decent gain without any increase in boost.From what Brad told me the plus option was more critical to locking the cams... and a more noticeable lope to the idleI also went atomic sprockets, timing chain, tensioner and harmonic balancer...with crow springs.

HSV ETR Member 131 Member For: 12y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 18/07/13 08:14 AM Share Posted 18/07/13 08:14 AM Yea brad warned that they definately need sprockets etc blah blah blah then I spoke to my tuner and he said he tuned plenty of fords with the 4+ cams without the requirements so I bit the bullet and trusted my tuner Im sure it would sound grumpier with fixed gears and a stall cause from my understanding he did what he could to get the car to idle and it idles perfect at 1000rpm Umm im computer illiterate lol how do u link??

Azerium Member 19 Member For: 13y 1m 27d Posted 18/07/13 09:25 AM Author Share Posted 18/07/13 09:25 AM Cheers for all the comments guys. Will take it all on board. My last question is if you think 133 000kms is to many kms to do the work to the ute without causing to many reliability issues. It shouldn't be considering I will be running a mild tune and only a weekend driver so wont be raping kms onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
