Hi,

So I bought my BA XR6t ute about 2-3 months ago and the guy I bought it off also threw in a SCT x3 flash tuner, he sold the car to me stock and I haven't really thought about re-tuning it until now.

It came with a 98 octane 10psi tune and a Towlers tune (the shop I'm pretty sure).

I've had someone say that you HAVE to replace the injectors before you tune it but no one else has mentioned this to me. I noticed that places like KPM motorsport etc sell performance packages with just the tune and the flash tuner. No injectors, so this leads me to believe that replacing the injectors isn't necessary to a point.

Anyone tuned their car with the flash tuner?

Anyone know if you NEED to replace injectors?

yeah, not to sure.

cheers

You can flash tune with out any other mods but in your case, I would probably run it up on a dyno and see what is in the box. This will cost you but you will know what you have. I flash tuned a BA XR6T with only a air filter and cat done without injectors and ran about 240rwkw.

:welcome2:

Question is the car stock or running a 10 psi tune ?

As tranny said get it up on the Dyno and see what's what.

Post up the graphs if you want some feedback.

Most guys on here use SCT flash tuners and have for years so heaps of knowledge.

In terms of stock injectors it will come down to supporting hardware and the safety margin in the tune.

My tip , do some searches as there is over a decade of tuning and modding threads on here

so most questions have been already been discussed at length.

Additionally, once you know what your base is decide where you wan't to go power wise.

Step at a time is expensive in re-tunes , that said you don't wan't a billionty at the wheels if

not used to big power.

Do not load a bill towler tune into your car if you value your complete running engine

Injectors are typically the first item to not support past ~250rwkw so yes u can tune it from stock ~200rwkw to the 250 mark with just a custom tune
