mdm200 New Member 5 Member For: 10y 6m 4d Gender: Male Posted 19/10/15 10:37 AM Share Posted 19/10/15 10:37 AM Hey all sorry if this has been answered before but I did a search and nothing popped up, so I've had my fg for a while now and I've finally got it booked in for mods.Im getting xforce exhaust, nizpro cooler and piping, 1150cc injectors, cool air intake and a fuel pump. My question is with these mods will I require new valve springs? Im going to ask for a safe tune but if ttheresa high risk I would rather save for the springs aswell as im guessing they would be a pricey install.Thanks in advance for your advice!

Pretty hit and miss, but they all get softer as kms increase, so budget for it (about a grand usually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save yourself the trouble and get it all done together because eventually you will have to replace the springs anyway. Do the spark plugs too.

At that stage I had 306 at the wheels and was running 17psi up to about 4k rpm down to 12psi in the high revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
