2011 G6Et Mods, Guess What Rwkw This Made!

With those same mods except different Injectors and no Port work I made about 300rwkw up from about 250rwkw at 15 PSI going down to 11/10 at the top end and this was with a F6 Cooler at about a 26 degree day, no problems at all. A larger intercooler might give you some extra power. How hot was the day that the car was tuned?

Exhaust is not your issue I am currently making about 320rwkw with factory catback with factory turbo at safe boost.

More boost won't make more power if the turbo is not able to flow the required air, you need air to make power so upping boost will not give you that much more if you cannot flow the air, or if you cannot cool it enough to satisfy the ECU's timing adjustment algorithm. I don't see why they are blaming the injectors, the flow is fine for the power your chasing.

The power doesn't appear extremely low when you take into account the fact that different dynos and other factors that affect it, but I'm concerned about what is causing that dip/surge in power on the red line about 4000rpm?

If you think the car doesn't deliver, race somebody who's dyno sheet read 300rwkw

The only reason I installed a F6 cooler was to eliminate the fact that the first tuner thought that I had a boost leak (picked it up for next to nothing), the only boost leak I had was coming from my ears when I found out after spending time and money on piping and intercooler not much changed!!! So from what I gather with all your advice (thanks heaps BTW) is that with the smaller turbo that the XR6T and G6ET have in the FG model the more boost you try and get out of these things the more friction you cause inturn creating more heat which results in less performance (correct me if I am wrong). So if I was to invest in a larger more efficient cooler what would you guys reccomend? I am not interested in cutting or drilling into my car as I want to keep it as stock as possible so is there something out there that will do the job by just bolting in? Also my aim is to max out the small turbo and that will be enough for me, not looking at more then 320rwkw. With the exhaust system I am also reluctant to moddify more then what I have (venom high flow cat) as I love how this sounds and do not want to draw attention with louder system, this said I have been told by my second tuner that with the set up I have exhaust wise I should easily max out the small turbo, anyone disagree?

Agree and you have made sense of what has been said

Congrats

Now buy an intercooler something like a processwest stepped item no cutting , straight swop over

If cooling is a priority then id suggest something better than the stepped items.

The stepped coolers cant even cool a 3540 efficiently so if you would like some headroom in your cooler choice stage 2 would be a better choice with next to no cutting.

Cool im glad we are on the same page, and exhaust is not an issue I take? :yeahyeah: happy days!! Thank you all again for your input and ill be back with some more info on tuners and hopefully in the 300 club. If I manage to crack the 300+ I will also run it down the 1/4 and post some times along with the dyno sheets. Cheers guys

Not all small turbo cars will make 320,

the stepped cooler is normally fine for the power you are chasing but yes a full cooler will work better but require cutting the car to fit one which you have stated you do not want to do. A full exhaust can help max out the small turbo at lower boost rather than pumping in 15-18 psi which is what many do

Yeah your 100% right I dont want to molest my G6E if I can help it in regargs to cutting it up.

Is running 17-18 psi detrimental to these engines or turbo chargers for that matter?

The 2nd tuner of my car suggested that my turbo may have been cooked by the 1st fark head that tried tuning my car due to heat soak (running 19+psi as per dyno graph previously), is this possible and how can I tell?

Would the bearings be noisy or any other tell tail signs?
