I am reasonably new to the whole turbo thing and also a Ford fan after a lifetime of being a Expensive Daewoo fan (V8's) so its great to read some of the threads to get some ideas. I now tell my Expensive Daewoo loving mates im not going to argue with you,just go and drive a late model XR6T or G6Et,lol. Anyway,I bought a G6Et late last year and had it tuned plus ID1000 injectors. It made 271kws. Tomorrow its going in for the Nizpro cooler,Nizpro stainless exhaust (4 inch)with dual cats,dump and actuator. Firstly,what sort of power do you guys (and gals) think I might achieve without going too silly,this car will never see a drag strip or race track.I have read some things about 4" exhausts droning but my tuner has said it will be fine so if anyone has this system it would be great to hear from you,thanks.Also,with traction being a bit of an issue now its only going to make it worse although im not a hoon I do like to punch it now and then. I have owned some high powered S/C V8's and have never done burnouts on public roads but I would like more traction to go along with the increased power. I have 18' in wheels,what is the widest tyres I could put on those legally.Any input would be awesome, Thanks again.

At the time I decided not to port turbo and peaked at 16 in the mid as Ratter points out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to know the width of the rim. Factory are 8" wide so usually the widest people go is 255 but I think that is pushing it? 235 and 245 are common. Wider than that and you're looking for wider rims. You could also get an LSD put in her.Look into the tyre threads to see what other people have to say about brands. I've used Kumho KU31 and Nitto Invo with good results and low 300's rwkw. Due to your smaller turbo you will spool faster and possibly break traction a little easier, so KU31's might not be good enough. Both tyres can be had cheap if you look around, site sponsor Taleb Tyres for example, or I get my KU31's fitted at KMart Tyre N Auto for cheap too (17" size but 235/45 width and profile, fitted and balanced for 169ea). If you are willing to pay then you can get great grip, again look in the tyre threads.Congrats on making to move over to boosted Fords! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always kicked double leggars. I found that it is only when the car is going through a "snakey" that the G6E diff will spin one wheel 50% of the time but only when the rear end is sliding to the left, it will then kick double again when the ass slides to the right which makes getting the car under control from a out of control situation a bit of a mission. So IMO I don't think a LSD/locker(trutrac) will help in keeping the tyres from spinning, but it will help stop the car from performing differently when sliding from one side to the other. I have not had much experience in finding grippy tyre as I always buy one of the cheaper tyre brands for the rear.My G6E T is making about 400-410rwkw(made 380rwkw while spinning the tyres 600rpm faster then the dyno rollers and was told that would be about 30rwkw of loss) and I think that the main reason why my tyres break loose while driving hard is that I have had the G/box tuned and it now changes up gears very firmly, therefore starting the tyre spin.

As standard they do that flutter thing between gear changes,maybe the tuner can make it so its not so aggressive or just backs off a little as it changes,I dont know,the turbo stuff is still new to me but im learning.
