aktg6et New Member 4 Member For: 10y 11m 8d Posted 27/02/14 01:12 AM Share Posted 27/02/14 01:12 AM Hi people, I've recently acquired my 50th anniversary G6ET in black with 19s with 45,000km and am lovin it. Having previously owned jap four cyl turbos (other than a VL turbo) I am so impressed with how much torque the G6ET has, plus all the luxo features and its big enough to fit the family comfortably in. My only disappointment is the lack of an lsd. Anyways I've read around the forums that these things standard can run in the mid to high 12s down the quarter so I went down to the Plex last night to see if I could get mine to do the same.First run was a 13.2 at 171km/h (106mph) with a 2.2s 60ft timeSecond run was a 13.06 at the same km's with a 2s 60ft timeThird run was a 12.97 at the same km's and same 60ft time (timeslip in link below).I ran out of time to do any more runs but I'm sure I could better the 12.9 - am still trying to bed down the launch technique (or lack of any real technique). But I am wrapped that my bog standard car can run in the 12s (albeit high 12s). I'm now waiting for my process west stg 1 intercooler kit to arrive, probably also get the venom dump/cat pipe, and then head down to Monstatorque for injectors and a tune.Car:http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p717/aktheseira/aktg6et/G6ET_zps5cf68afa.jpgTimeslip:http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p717/aktheseira/aktg6et/timeslip_zpsd90036d3.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 8m 21d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 27/02/14 01:45 AM Share Posted 27/02/14 01:45 AM Welcome to the forum mate.You obviously like putting cars down the quarter mile so check out the current Top 50 times to see what people have achieved once they have thrown a few mods at these things.Also, I see that you use Photobucket so it is always better to link your images directly into your posts....to do this, put the address of the image in the window that opens when you hit the 'Image' button. It's the square .gif under the smilies at the top of the Reply box, and do me a favor --- coz I'm old --- make sure that they are straight coz it's toooo hard to turn the monitor on it's side hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I dont know that I'll get as far as some of the top 50 its amazing how much potential these things have. I am looking forward to carrying out some mods in the near future!

Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 7m 1d Posted 27/02/14 12:24 PM Share Posted 27/02/14 12:24 PM (edited) Welcome and Nice car, Nice Times that's quick for a stock car the G6 is a awesome car.1st Thing you need to do before fitting a larger intercooler, injectors and tune is to get a grippy set of Tyres put on an LSD Diff.While at Monstatorque it's a good idea ask them to do their flexplate modification to ensure it wont come loose with added power after tune, as that's the first thing that will let go if you rev it a lot.

aktg6et New Member 4 Member For: 10y 11m 8d Posted 27/02/14 02:20 PM Author Share Posted 27/02/14 02:20 PM Yeah lsd and getting sum invos for the standard wheels or getting wider wheels are on the list too, as is suspension and brakes. I actually can't believe the luxo spec ford came without an LSD but it is what it is. I probably won't get all these things done in the right order but hopefully in the next while ill make good progress.ill definitely check out the flexplate mod too which I didn't know was an issue previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
