polarbear Member 20 Member For: 10y 6m Posted 07/07/14 09:07 AM Share Posted 07/07/14 09:07 AM fg xr6 turbo, my tuner did a tune on standard intercooler but with after market steel pipe and air intake, it made 320 rkw , lot more than I expected, is it safe run on this kind of power level with stock cooler/ my tuner said it's perfect fine, but I still but worried might blow up something, also can the factory zf cope with this kind of power level?

Squirts here and there shouldnt be a problem. I've got 315rwkw with my standard BF F6 intercooler and havent had a problem and it still ran 11.7 on the strip. Factory ZF will handle it easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will suffer heatsoak quicker thou. In the day I ran 300rwkw on a Stock BA XR6 turbo intercooler many times over. It also ran consistant 12.1 sec passes @ 116mph at willowbank with it to. When I did change to a bigger cooler it made 315rwkw on lower 1psi boost and ET a 11.8 sec pass @ 119mph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
