furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 6m 24d Posted 14/02/16 12:06 PM Share Posted 14/02/16 12:06 PM I'll be taking my FG F6 into Monsta Torque next month for billet oil pump gears (manual + track time + occasional limiter, getting nervous), and I've decided while it's in there I might as well get it tuned. I actually think the car has plenty of performance on street and track, but I'm ordering a Jonny Tig stepped IC and to use that it will need an adjustment of some sort anyway. Only other thing I've got at the moment is a Herrod intake for extra noise. I'll be keeping the stock exhaust and cutting the restrictor ring out, but I'm also wondering whether I can stick with the standard F6 injectors? From what I read tuners prefer the 1000cc as they're easier to tune, flow matched etc, but if I'm not chasing any kW number or ET, is it really necessary? I'd like a noticeable bump in performance but I still want power to peak around the 5500rpm range, rather than an inflated mid range tapering off to the same power up top. I know, talk to the tuner, but I have and I know ever tuner's recommendation is to use 1000cc injectors and high flow cat as a minimum. That will help make additional power more easily, but is it essential for a mild tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, id save the extra 600 and just do it now...get max benefits from that tune. Should get another $100-$150 for your old injectors too lol But depends what rob says....he might be happy to lean on them a bit. But I personally would just pay the little bit more or delay the tune until I had the funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see what he says for you, on here people say it's good for 330rwkw. I just bit the bullet and bought the high flow cat on the day cos I didn't want him to leave my car tuned at 290 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 6m 24d Posted 14/02/16 01:24 PM Author Share Posted 14/02/16 01:24 PM that's interesting to read as I've seen the results XFT have got with the euro4 cat, I even read of a guy here taking a Venom 100cpi cat to them and had it handed back in favour of the the derestricted stock one. Difficult to get a consistent view on this sorta stuff. I spoke to XFT as well and mentioned what I was after and they said just to knock the restrictor out. Unfortunately they want to remove the engine to do the oil pump gears ($$$) which is why I'll be going to MT for that work. I could take the car to both shops but I'm trying to keep things simple, and whatever the stock cat and injectors are capable of shouldn't change just because I drive to a different shop. If the standard car puts down ~260-270rwkw then 290 isn't necessarily a bad thing, as I guess that would be within spec for the stock injectors as well. Really all I want is to be able to use the new IC safely... Not trying to be a cheaparse but given how this car puts so many others to shame on track I can't see the point spending $10k and having more power than I can put to the ground ...

F6 with stock injectors. While im typing and you are in the thread Jet, is there any issues with 1000cc injectors for 350rwhm max? any oversize issues?

Yeah I've heard heaps of people say the big cats good for over 300 on here so I was pretty pissed off when Monsta torque said it wouldn't go over 290.

furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 6m 24d Posted 15/02/16 12:30 PM Author Share Posted 15/02/16 12:30 PM thanks guys, I think I'll go ahead with stock injectors and derestricted cat, there will surely be headroom in there just a matter of how much. Talking to these shops I can tell they're keen to sell 'best practice' as it's more parts/money and I don't blame them, but if the end result is crap it'll just cost me a bit more to make it right. Worth a shot I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
