moey's bf xr6t New Member 8 Member For: 11y 2m 3d Gender: Male Posted 25/12/13 04:23 PM Share Posted 25/12/13 04:23 PM Hi guys,Bought my 2006 bf xr6 turbo a couple of months ago and have now started the process of getting modifications.I bought the typhoon intercooler, 80lb injectors and now will get walbro pump and upgraded Turbosmart Wastegate actuator. The tune will hopefully happen in about a month time at chequered tuning and will aim for 300rwk.I will upload the results when done so stay tuned.For the future I will upgrade to process west intercooler kit with dump and high flow cat upgrade and aim for 370-400rwk and probably upgrade the input shaft on zf trans.

Why chequered? Why not someone with more experience with these cars?IMO the tune makes or breaks these cars and a lot of shops can't get it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any recommendations of tuners in Melbourne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRK Member 361 Member For: 13y 8d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 26/12/13 03:10 AM Share Posted 26/12/13 03:10 AM Mate, I live in WA so I have no stake in anything east - and it is always your call and your money but, have a real hard look thru the build threads and site sponsors along with the amount of useful tech info businesses share with us. You go with who you think, of course, but people who tell you what worked and did not and get consistent and reliable power out of these cars is where you head. Short list starting to happen right now.BTW, the cat and dump will need to go and you will need to modify the airbox - F6 type snorkel will suffice. Although others succeeded to get a consistent 300rwkw with the f6 cooler, I did not (intake temps too high.)300 at the wheels is great - just a heap of fun for, really, stuff all bux.

And once people's first tune isn't what they wanted we see them all the time throwing money at the car and then ultimately giving up and selling off. If you do the Dump you may be up for an actuator and Port. My last Pitlane tune was id 1000sNizzy coolerSurgeHi flo catTurbo port and actuator381rwkw@19psi. Stil has the x-over/ stock airbox/ exhaust etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
