I finally decided it was time to mod the old girl. I dropped my '10 F6 that has 160,000km on the clock into ASG Motorsports on the Gold Coast for Aaron to finish what I started, and tune the old girl. I did the following... Tog 4" exhaust 460 intank pump 1125cc injectors Plaz 1000hp cooler kit Plaz Cai Plaz Battery relo Ported exhaust housing 12.5psi actuator Hi-Flow thermo ASG did the following... Turbo Oil feed line Tranny cooler ZF steel pan and service Plaz HD valve springs Then we encountered a problem. My exhaust cam was rooted. The usual FG wear, so I decided to go Atomic Stage 4. We've had some discussion (aaron my tuner, and I) and seeing as though the car has 160,000 on the clock and we've put HD valve springs in, now might be a good time to replace the cam chain, tensioner & sprocket. Seeing as though the front cover needs to come off to do this, we're going to do the oil pump gears too. Whats peoples thoughts on anything else being done while it's apart? The only other thing I can think of was maybe head studs, in case I decide to push the power up in the future? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the car at 80,000 and changed to Nulon and was doing the oil changes every 10,000. The lucky thing is the turbo oil feed line never blocked. Also switching to Penrite HPR oil now. I know that Stage 4 Cams are a bit overkill seeing as though standard can hit massive numbers, however I have blown one motor in my last XR6T, and would rather over engineer. ...and just ordered head studs too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
