And also some feedback on what I've committed to. Before the oil pump failed on my 2009 FG SCT handheld tuner Herrod hose upgrade X-force 4"-3.5" Bigger injectorsMachined manifold KnN filter Bigger waste gate Having 352KW at the wheels on 17psi and 335KW at 14psiLong story short I was giving it a hard time on a weekend cruise and hard the "low oil pressure" light appear on the dash. Unfortunately due to my location I had to limp it a few km to a safe location. Later to find the oil pump had failed leading to the destruction of my head, turbo ect.. I apologise for my lack of mechanical knowledge btw. Fast forward to now I have committed to an: Atomic long motor Gtx-3582r turbo And NPC clutch And everything necessary for the above. Was curious if the was much I could do with the old motor? What kind of power would this combination put out? But most importantly what I need to be looking for to make sure it's going to be sound? Also my advice is replace a factory oil pump its a small cost but saves a lot in the long run Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old motor would be good for a nice table? Lol but if only head was damaged then maybe you could find a spare head and replace oil pump and sell f6 motor? You'd have to research to see if there is different heads between xt/xr6/f6...Above combo with supporting mods depends on tuner ability too....think the big gtx can go 400-500rwkw? Maybe read some of the build threads in the 400 and 500 club? I would be listening to tuners advice over online opinions....just make sure you use someone with excellent reputation I.e. one of the top tuners in your state who specialises in falcoons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
