Andyzxr6t New Member 2 Member For: 7y 5m 4d Posted 14/09/17 05:42 AM Share Posted 14/09/17 05:42 AM Hey guys I'm considering getting my BF xr6t tuned and lightly modded with the hopes to hit around 300Rwkws. I need to upgrade the cooler but wanted to try and steer clear of coolers that require front bar to be cut, any suggestions or links to products greatly appreciated. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a look around the forum you will see that there is a wealth of information here. Have a look through the 300rwkw part of the forum and see what others have used as far as coolers go. Take a look through the 400 and 500 sections too for comparison. Here are some places that provide Ford intercoolers and other performance parts; Jonny Tig Nizpro Process West Plazmaman PWR Intune The best suggestion I can think of is to do your homework before upgrading as it is better/cheaper to do things right the first time. If you decide in a few months that 300rwkw isn't enough (and a lot of us do) you don't want to have to replace parts that are only a few months old or pay for another tune in such a short time frame. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet can vouch for this. Should be the same for your BF. And as puff said, part with the coin now and you won't be parting with extra coin down the track when the pump isn't up to task so on and so forth. Good luck Andy and welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyzxr6t New Member 2 Member For: 7y 5m 4d Posted 19/09/17 12:56 AM Author Share Posted 19/09/17 12:56 AM Thanks for the heads up guys appreciate it, I wasn't looking to go past really 300kw but I do know power is addictive. My bf's on 160,000kms do you guys think it's worth tuning like as in with that kind of mileage or am I just asking for trouble? Kinda why I was gonna draw a line at 300rwkw.. Service history is really good as I've owned it for the last 100k km's. And does anyone have any input in regards to a tested replacement for the useless rubber bushes in the diff? Thanks in advance.

Had my BF initially tuned for at a little over 300 rwkw at about 60,000k's mark. Just had it re tuned at 160,000k's after some additional mods and it's now around 340rwkw. As for the diff bush, I fitted Super Pro comfort (3 bush kit) a few years back. Not too hard a job if your handy on the tools and have a trolley jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeturbo is known for helping members with parts and tuning and imo is one of the best guys to leave your car with for a "one stop shop". If I tagged him them he would be sure to see this thread. I figured I'd leave some info for you to look at rather than do that. As it turned out he chimed in anyway. Hopefully that clears up any confusion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
