Jakexr6 New Member 8 Member For: 8y 5d Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hey just wondering where to start with the performance side of things I have an automatic transmission unfortunately and I'm not sure where to start to get it a bit more power I'm only on my p plates so it can't be stuff like turbo and things like that and not super obvious limited space for improvement I know site links would be helpful also. Thanks for any help you can give me Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93250-best-perormance-mods-to-start-with-on-an-auto/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get a nice cat-back exhaust for some sound and put some suspension and/or wheels on the car so that it looks and sounds tough, but actually isn't 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93250-best-perormance-mods-to-start-with-on-an-auto/#findComment-1639862 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiftyOne Bronze Donating Members 1,145 Member For: 11y 9m 9d Gender: Male Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The ZF generally speaking is quicker than a manual box anyway (assuming a BF here) NA motors can benefit nicely from a basic tune and exhaust, still going to be limited not having boost. My opinion for what little its worth is to wait til you are off your P's and buy something nice with a turbo. The bigger challenge as a P plater is not molesting and trashing a perfectly good car in 3 years so it can be sold at a reasonable price 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93250-best-perormance-mods-to-start-with-on-an-auto/#findComment-1639923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full exhaust system, extractors, high flow cat, 2.5" exhaust if for BA or BF, if for a FG you will need to swap high flow cat for euro4 cat as check engine light will activate with high flow cat unless you have it tuned & turned off. 3. dyno tune will extract the most from the engine with above mods. SCT tuner is a good start as it can hold multiple different tunes eg: 98 octane, 95 octane, highway, etc Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93250-best-perormance-mods-to-start-with-on-an-auto/#findComment-1666260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
