They have to be accessible quick smart.Def looks like a good buy though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 7m 23d Posted 29/10/12 05:00 PM Author Share Posted 29/10/12 05:00 PM (edited) I've decided to go Injectors+Tune as a first mod, don't know if it will be fast enough with just factory injectors, then I'll begin saving for Inter cooler pipes to replace them as soon as they burst or do it ASAP and leave it at that.There's another place called BPT in Perth, seems like they mod lots of Fords too I might drop by and see what they can do for my car.

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 2m 30d Posted 29/10/12 10:32 PM Share Posted 29/10/12 10:32 PM injectors + tune and know you need to save for cooler pipes is your best bet mate, should see about 280rwkw with a good tuner. Question for velocity - wouldn't you need at least a new intank pump to support e85 after that data Mick (ratter) released of the FG fuel pump barely being good enough for 98 let alone e85? Not saying your wrong just not sure. ANd obviously you wouldn't want to get below 1/4 of a tank on e85 without a surge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A surge wouldnt be vital for under 300rwkw with e85.Or just buy one of those KPM twin intank pumps that wont require a surge to flow 1000hp.

2012 XR6 Turbo MkII Member 11 Member For: 12y 3m 7d Gender: Male Posted 30/10/12 12:22 AM Share Posted 30/10/12 12:22 AM (edited) Hi Guys,I'm new to the XR6 Scene...Defiantly go buy a FG 2012 turbo, get the luxury pack, but stay clear of the leather trim, due to them not being heated in winter and burn you like an egg in summer go the cloth trim, I got the dark trim and it looks greatand I took a 2008 FPV 302 for a spin and the turbo just is so much more "see ya later" so quick in response, give it a tune and cooler and geez, its sucks you in the seat just standard so I would hate to think what a dyno tune would do.......Unless you’re willing to fork out 75k and have troubles keeping it on the road, go the FG turbo..100kmh in 5.5 sec stock Edited 30/10/12 12:42 AM by tab de-capsed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
