What he said, I have a generic 98 tune - made 317kw, but at 14:1

Ive still got an Xcal2 and tuners are still tuning with them. Best to get a tune done sooner rather than later. Not sure when they will be un-supported...

Hi Guys, Going from the thread title you are all gonna go, this guy has no clue. You'd be wrong, however the PO of my new ute + a certain shop are the ones with no clue. This will cover my build up that has just started. Whilst looking for a ute to replace my BA XL, there was two that were in my price range, one was un-maintained, the other was this one. About a month ago now I picked up a May 06 build Magnet Ute in Shockwave - 75,000Km's on the clock - 6 Speed Manual - Just had an $800 service - full X-Force turbo back exhaust (4-inch dump, cat, twin 2.5" stainless) - Xcal2 with Generic Tunes - lowered on Peders springs - hardcover, - tint - the usual Magnet options. Most importantly, a claimed 260rwkw - a nice safe number. The first thing done was a new set of fronts that were chewed out on the inside from not having a wheel alignment and camber shim, the second thing was an alignment out at wholesale, thanks to Senna_T. Next, I fiddled with the BOV, having it vented and not - left it at not vented, the noise was horrid. After this I tried to fit up a new cooler that I picked up off a mate, but decided to get the hardware kit to fit it so it remains unfitted. Then last Saturday, I took it down to Tunehouse for a power run and to make sure everything was fine. This is where the worry started. After two quick runs on their (impressive) dyno, Jim walked out shaking his head. "It's no good" "F***, why?" "Come and look at the AFR's" It was running at 14:1 high in the rev range. The power figure was way beyond expectations - 317RWKW and ~640NM @ 12 PSI. After the last couple of weeks its had, I'm surprised it hasn't blow up. I have been instructed not to obviously drive it on boost until the issue is fixed. So when I get some time this week, I plan to fit up the cooler as the hardware kit has arrived. I've also bought a set of 60lb injectors off *Beep* (as much sh*t as you guys give him, he's a nice guy!). Hopefully on Friday it goes in for a tune. My original aim was 320RWKW @ 12psi - a nice safe figure. But we will see how it goes, I'm unsure whether it has the stronger bottom end as I've read conflicting stories, but we will see when it gets tuned up whether it has the good valve springs installed. that's my story pretty much up to today. I will grab some pictures, and can post up the dyno sheet if people are interested. It doesnt have the AFR's on it though. Tobey.

Sorry didn't specify, I bought it second hand and it didnt come with all the bits. Hyperflow wanted too much for a silicone bend, brackets and bolts ($145), but they came to the party and did it for $100 shipped. Arrives on Monday. The other option I was going to go was to use cut the stock pipe, use a metal reducer from the exhaust shop, then a 45 degree bend and custom make brackets. But this should take a lot of the effort out of it all.

Hi Guys, Im trying to fit up a new direct replacement cooler, however the outlet on the top of the cooler is larger than the factory rubber hose. I also need to put a 45deg bend in after the drivers side headlight. What im wondering is if I cut the stock rubber pipe and slide the silicone bend over the top and clamp will it hold, could even use a strong adhesive to bond them together... Cheers, Tobey

How does it go pulling out from a greasy ramp?

They dont have the clearance, as the block needs to sit inside the rim. You've got a performance car, dont skimp out and buy cheap lowering blocks. Get it reset properly.

Federal 595EVO's http://www.federaltyres.com.au/tyres/high-performance/595evo Or if you want to get serious, scrap the 19's, chuck on a set of 18's and go a set of street semi-slicks...

Is it hot air coming out or just ambient temp out of the passgenger side? If its hot air in the mixer if it is just outside temp there is a Ford TSB on this, it just needs a re-gassing as the gas is low...

Make sure you dont have a caravan following you around... Seriously though, have you been driving it WOT all the time? Change your injectors back to the standard ones. There could be an issue with them over fueling/leaking.

Two subs is REALLY unnecessary in a ute, one sub is easily enough to over power the splits. All well and good if you like muddy sound though. As for the box, you just need a smaller 12 box, I had mine behind the passenger seat and an amp under the drivers seat.

Hi Guys, Just curious as to how much power the twin plate F6 clutch will hold and if there is any dramas fitting it to an XR6T? Cheers, Tobey

I might come. Lets swap cars for this one Ricky

With this heat, and the speed the rain is moving away, doubt there will be any dramas... It rained last time we did a mac pass run too. Mac pass is well sheltered so it takes a bit for it to get really wet...

Looking at the radar, it wont last long... http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR711.loop.shtml#skip

Im not fussed, as long as it's clear for everyone so we dont end up with two groups...

Fair meadow maccas? I thought we were meeting at albion park maccas? Also, anyone keen doing this run for the return? http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Narellan+Rd&daddr=-34.1431501,150.7293972+to:-34.41445,150.85889+to:-34.422069,150.8652189+to:-34.58496,150.62748+to:Terralong+St+to:-34.64873,150.83812+to:-34.263319,150.9664707+to:-34.2143792,151.0063575+to:-34.14256,151.06439+to:Cahill+Expressway&hl=en&geocode=FYJ4-P0d-HD8CA%3BFVIE9_0dtfL7CClF1acjCfsSazHB2LpytAkGEw%3BFY7g8v0diuz9CCn9_m5PKhoTazEhuZrlZ30BEw%3BFcvC8v0dQgX-CCnJIhUwhhkTazHRpnPmZ30BEw%3BFYBG8P0dmGT6CCltjLBWHXUTazHQAD10tAkGEw%3BFez57v0dENr9CA%3BFWZN7_0daJv9CCl_T20ZYGwTazGhG7nnZ30BEw%3BFeku9f0dxpD_CCkDQYDFOt4SazHBmHPmZ30BEw%3BFRXu9f0dlSwACSmFR0CVTdwSazGwTJblZ30BEw%3BFaAG9_0dRg8BCSnhyMZ0mMQSazHh0FnmZ30BEw%3BFeZI-_0d9FQDCQ&mra=dme&mrcr=1&mrsp=10&sz=12&via=1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9&sll=-33.904901,151.00296&sspn=0.349343,0.700035&ie=UTF8&ll=-34.339467,151.062012&spn=0.695103,1.40007&z=11

For anyone that wants to meet, there will be a few of us leaving Richmond McDonalds 6:30 SHARP

There should be a few of us meeting at Mt Annan. We are also coming from North Richmond... Not sure on the details yet.

Ive heard good things about the Federals, very well priced too...

When you say carpark, which one do you mean? Is it the one in front of the shopping centre? Last time there was a little confusion.

All State Transmission at Parramatta. Had them do work on my 4spd. They were the ones making the PWR cooler kits to fit the falcons too, so they are familiar with them...

Mount Kiera Rd is a must do...

The run we did to Albion park last time was good...

Should be in...
