Parts List On First Fg Turbo Mods, Am I Missing Anything

[Gaz_O'Rourke]

Hey guys first post,

got a list of parts for my first lot of upgrades. Keep In mind I have chosen parts which are suitable for the power im after and at the ssme time some parts msy be excessive.

trying to get over 300rwkw but nothing too big because I hhaven't allowed for valvesprings and ive already had tailshaft cv joint and centre bearing replaced with heavy duty cv joint and ford f250 centre bearing. Dont wanna ruin clutch either...

parts,

plazmaman hotside 4inch race intake and battery relo kit

f6 intercooler core and herrod piping kit

Siemens 60lbInjectors or f6 injectors?

Venom 5inch cat made direct fit on factory exhaust

do I need a turbosmart actuator

ive removed centre muffler with straight 3 inch piping and continues into a straight 3 inch muffler with twin tips. So its basically a full 3inch system with one high flow muffler. Anyone curious about how that sounds and wants to xo the muffler delete u see on you tube? This system turned out great. Has a very smooth toned growl , zero drone while cruising actually almost silent when cruising, and that v8 burble and pop after you put your foot down and back off the throtlle.

finally xcal3 computer and tune

this has cost under 4k also inc the upcoming tune and is half the price of packages similar at performace shops.

Without a dump pipe and proper exhaust system waste of time running turbosmart accuator also recommend you to the flapper mod not saying it won't make 300 without those mods but will help get it there and hold boost and not get bleed back

[MattyP]

I'd have to disagree with the flapper mod

It's not really necessary at your intended power goal

Actuator isn't required

I would suggest better injectors like ID1000s or the kpm units

The f6 core will make 300 but will be if not beyond its limit

I get doing things on a budget as I have done this but things like coolers and injectors you will have to spend abit on

Also are you planning e85?

And you will need to consider a dump pipe as the standard one is ok but I dunno if it'll get you there

[ratter]

Have you asked the guy who is going to tune it?

[blacktur8oute]

Standard dump f6 cooler and injectors he wants to use will get him there,no use spending money on id1000 when his goal is about 300 what my intension was if he wants to run the turbosmart actuator he should do those mods to help get to 300 my car had

Process west cooler & piping

Process west surge

Id1000 injectors

Venom cat

standard exhaust no dump no flapper mod tuned by a tuner on here and managed 301rwk on 14pound and bled back to 10pound was told with full exhaust system flapper mod and a actuator would of made 20 or so more

[Gaz_O'Rourke]

Wow this is epic.

So brush the actuator that's good.

Also its not so mucb a budget I purposely saved 10k to produce a monster with premium parts. But reality kicked in, I dont go to the track, im not in a car club, dont drift, or race, at best I hit 60kph off the lights hi revs and then stick to speed limit.

so cut it back to something fun with low down torque and better throttle response.

Bit annoyed bout the cooler cuz a mate with a monster f6 said his old cooler will be fine cuz I was gonna get the pwr stepped cooler

as for injectors I was just following the auto tech engineering package at 60lbs

I was always gonna have full turbo back xforce system but saw a few packages that only had dump pipes and cats and didnt bother with the cat back till way higher power levels, and read that the stock exhaust is surprisingly efficie t to a certain power level.

I guess ill let the car live within its means with the parts I got, 300 was just a number I picked im sure the current parts list will feel considersbly quicker.

cheers for the info guys

last wuestion should I go 60lb Injectors or f6 injectors I read f6 are better but then again I could prpbably justify putting a cannon muffler on the back if I read the right forum thread ha

[Buf-Phoon]

I have an F6 and run 60lb squirters , also I would do the cooler as the stocker will pull a number once

but will suffer heat soak thereafter

[Gaz_O'Rourke]

So the f6 Intercooler will not hold up in an fg? If I do run with the f6 cooler is it technically correct I could upgrade the cooler to a nice $1000 entry level one and straight swap it over no retune required?

[blacktur8oute]

Both injectors will do the job f6 will fit straight in as for your cooler it will get you to the 300mark the race intake is unnecessary for your goal I'd spend the money on a surge tank

[blacktur8oute]

The f6 cooler will suffer heat soak but if you not racing and just give it a squirt of the lights here and there like you said it will be fine the negative with the standard actuator is when the car hits boost say 15pound it will bleed back and lose boost and therefore your top end won't be strong not better than stock but not much
