BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 8m 29d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 03/04/14 02:25 AM Share Posted 03/04/14 02:25 AM Welcome to the forum KalWhere to start and where to stop = wallet size with these things and I'm sure you understand that there can be a big dollar difference between a 12 second car and a 9 second demon.My advice comes from doing what you did - read A LOT and then read a lot more and ask questions about tunas in your area (where are you - what state???) and give them a ring to set up a meeting so you can sit down with them to work out the best way to go for what YOU want the car to do.If you plan on buying stuff from ebay, be careful coz you never know what you've bought until it's in the hands of your tuna therefore it is a hell of alot safer to get the tuna to supply and fit things like injectors and the xCal etc. imho.With a stg 3 FMIC, you do realise that you have to cut some of the car apart to fit it don't you? Absolutely fine until a member of the 5-0 stops you and knows what he's looking for then it could be canary time.A few members on here are in the middle of doing some research with the 6235 turbo and by all accounts, they are getting some good results but 'most' tunas are all over the gtx and know how to get the most out of them so again, talk to the tuna and get his thoughts.As you would know, the g6 diff is a single spinner therefore if you are thinking of throwing a TruTrac lsd in it, it's a good idea to chuck some bushes at it at the same time. SuperPro Comforts (I think that's what people have said are good)A heat exchanger on the trans is a hell of a lot cheaper than a trans rebuild that's for sure but when it comes to 'what will the trans take before it lets go', I usually hear about 420-450 is when an input shaft may be needed.Good luck with it all.

Mine was beyond rooted after 100,000km stock and another 120,000km with 320rwkw. Don't let it get as bad as I did. If it starts to play up (not changing to 4th at WOT for example) get it rebuilt.

Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 7m 9d Posted 06/04/14 09:30 AM Share Posted 06/04/14 09:30 AM So from what I take it 350rwkw is the Limit for a Factory ZF when things begin wearing quickly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it built and never have to worry about it again I'd be more worried about the tail shaft letting go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
