Hey guys,

Figured I'd post my story because I've seen a little debate regarding the factory oil pumps in the FG F6s and failure. 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 injectors

Machined manifold

KnN filter

Bigger waste gate

Having 352KW at the wheels on 17psi and 335KW at 14psi

Long 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

Did you do lots of burnouts and rev limiter bashing?

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 ;)
