RAPHOON

Any other BF Typhoon deals out there? I'm trying see whether there's much price difference between the run out BA and the 06 BF models. If the difference can be brought down to a few K, then it's worth the wait....

I'm also looking at a replacemnt for my T and would be interest to hear some "REAL" prices members have been able to negotiate for the Phoon.

Zap's on the right track.

Blonk, The colour also looks fantastic on he phoon. Great choice of car mate.

Awesome look!

Well done boys! Bryce, was that time done on the usual crappy Mackay fuel? As for future mods, do you still have the standard cooler on? If so, that may be the best place to start. Particularly for North Qld based cars. Cheers!

Mate - no way a pre programed chip with 11psi is gonna we true. FOr starters at 8psi the stock injectors are maxed out at 100% duty cycle at 5500rpm, 11psi woul dsee you engine runing out of fuel at around 4500rpm and and having no power above that. To prove that point a 10psi edit will see you run up to 250rwkw up to 5000rpm and then bang, no more fuel no more boost = no more power. And all that is achieved by spending time on a dyno and adjusting variables in the ecu to suit. A plug in chip is useless and its safe to say you have been taken for a ride. And on that note, a custom tuned 8psi map will make just over 300kw with around 560nm torque. If you tyres done spin in second gear, or you clutch doesn't slip then your not making enough HP as claimed. Simple. Alex, Give me a PM and we'll catch up. You can have a drive of mine and I hope that will change your opinion.

They also have excellent power up facilities. Von is an excellent tuner.

Cro, What are the differences between the new rotors and the PBR premium brake rotors? Same but new or a different size?

This may be a little off topic but the torque based throttle sounds very interesting. Could you please tell us a little more about this function and what it will achieve for the user/customer. Thanks in advance.

Noooo, I bet he'll understeer the big girl into a kerb b4 the back end breakes out!! btw, I get intermittant traction control in the ute. When SWMBO is in the passenger seat and the back wheels chirp, I get a thump on the arm.... Makes for a very peacfull trip :o) I know that feeling.... silent treatment till arrival SWMBO. Also known as handbrake.

Look at it this way Ross, if your ears have heard the engine pinging, then the knock sensors heard it long, long before you did. In fact the most damaging type of detonation is the light and inaudible version, because the driver doesn't understand to lift off...they cant hear anything wrong. Thankfully the knock sensor knows all about this 'Delta 1' knock (as some describe it) and takes according remedial action. If you hear detonation in an XR6T engine it can mean a few different things. The first of course is that the knock sensor itself has simply been switched off. This we have convered, and there is really no sane reason for it in a road car. However the engine can still ping if physical conditions are met that the activity of the knock sensor cannot correct. Take my 'hypothetical' example...... A dead standard 'T' running 19psi of boost at 3500rpm, with 22 degrees ignition timing in the map, and a commanded AFR of 14.X:1. Even with the stock 12 degrees of timing the knock sensor can (and will) pull out of the map, the boost is so far 'off the scale', and the mixture so lean, that almost no amount of timing retard will protect the engine from destructive high speed detonation If you can hear detonation at all, then its a fair bet you have bags of low level inaudible pinging as well. My best advice is to seek a professional tuner - and I dont know or care who tuned your car - who understands the very basic fundamentals and physics involved in tuning a modern four stroke engine. Its not magic and guesswork...its science Sounds like a tune an SA guy got from a visiting tuner R U sure it wasn't a tune slipper by the fixer?? <or just a figment of your imagination??

Is the new clutch in yet Troughy?

pinging all over aus?? care to back up that statement with fact?? you have been around for 2 years and 50 posts... and you always seem to pop up when these threads are around... what a coincidence show me a recent constructive post of yours Another ripper post XR6god. Can you perhaps contribute something constructive? If not, try not to make it to 60 posts. Go annoy someone else.

The stock car has 2 clip type hose clamps which should be replaced, particularly if you are going to increase boost. On is located on the intercooler and the other on the alloy pipe coming from the intercooler and going up to the crossover.

Yeah you do, you are just crappy at them. LOL Anita is the drag strip gun in that family.

Well worth the effort and $'s. JB hi-fi also seem to stock H.I.M. in some stores. Worth your while checking out if you go.

I use the 10% ethanol 98 available from Freedom Fuels in Brisbane. I only use the one service station to buy this, but I've had excellent results on it. The car runs better on it tha BP Ultimate (which is the best fuel in Brisbane). Give this fuel a try if you can get it.

Congratulations! Warranty jobs for everyone!!!

You just haven't been indoctrinated to good Finnish rock yet shazza. H.I.M. Nightwish The Rasmus There's more to depth there than just Bomfunk MC.

On ya Jet. You're a bloody legend. What dot he products cost? I bet it's a lot cheaper than paying for a custom screen.

I'm in the process of getting this done. You can buy a special "silver screen" paint. Jetute knows more about this which is good as he will be the one applying the paint to mine.

That sure looks like a nice piece of kit. How much and from where??

Why the standard IC blueboost? Getting the unit ready for trade in?

How much would she have paid NOT to have her picture taken.
