New Xr6T, What Mods?

[Travfg93]

Hey all, im very excited to finally be able to join this forum I recently picked up a mk2 fg xr6 turbo ute and I want to know which mods come first and in what order

In the long run im looking at getting 400rwkw

A list in order on which parts and a very rough price would be much appreciated :D

Cheers

Im about to start modding mine the stock turbo wont let you get more than 320rwkw that's what elite have told me.

Tune on E85 and right supporting mods you will see around 340 to 350 rwks.. A few Nizpro cars running that.

Or bang a gtx on, cooler/ exhaust/ fuel setup 400+ on 98 but will be around 10k.

If you want 400kw from the FG it won't be some simple mods - you'll need a new turbo to start with (FG's have a smaller turbo that has it's balls at the lower end, not the upper - the older ones had longer legs, but didn't get up to speed as quick)

Work out what you want from the car rather than a number - chase the outcome rather than a dyno figure

If it's a long term goal to get to 400 then find a tuner you can trust and work with them towards building towards that.

Make sure you only pay once for items - each thing you change will require a tune, but each item you replace will require a tune plus the full cost of the correct part.

Stage your changes so you only buy parts that won't have to be replaced the next step up.

400kws done wrong may cost you a transmission, turbo, tailshaft, engine and a lot of money - done correctly it could fall within your budget (if you budget correctly).

If you just want the first step now - then probably a reputable tuner for a flash tune would be the way to go. Get one that will make sure you have the right pipes/support for it, or that will suggest what changes are needed for them to be comfortable to perform the work.

As said before it's not just the turbo you need to think about, a gear box will cost you Atleast 4k to be built, a tail shaft will be needed, that'll be around a grand, plus the usual cooler, injectors exhaust, surge tank etc

I will say it's well worth it! No better feeling that have it light up at 100kph with ease

[Travfg93]

thanks alot guys I guess what im really after is more power but mostly more torque

Without changing major components like turbo transmission and tailshaft what sort of mods and price am I looking at?

Id be more interested getting all parts needed then tuning once if possible

Merry christmas guys!!

Venom bolt in cat 1000cc injectors and a tune was $2500 before chrissy from elite and hi-torque and a good cooler and piping $1500-2000 and you will max out the baby turbo somewhere just north of 300rwkw and massive gain in torque.

[Henz]

If you have e85 available tune it on that. Will make the most power/ torque possible on stock cooler.

Ild go

Genuine ID1000s $700

Surge and 044 $1000

Nizzy or PW stage 1 $1800

5" Cat installed $550

Valve springs $800

Turbo port+ actuator $900

Xcal 3 and tune $1600

Say 8k once all fitted + miscellaneous will make a nice 350 and drive well.

Then next stage for me would be GTX core and exhaust + tail shaft.

$4kish once fitted up and mid- 400s. That easy.
