  1. Mines manual
  2. Why wouldn't you take it back to morpowa? You've already paid for the work, it doesn't do what it should - take it back? I would. A lot of people have referred me to morpowa and they have a fair few cars that speak for themselves. A lot of tuners told me (Simon included) that FG's are temperamental with their idle, each one is difference in a small way so their stalling at idle is very common. Mine stalled twice at idle and simon fixed it right away. Hasn't stalled since. No funny business on deceleration like you describe either. But as I said before - Mines manual so I guess that's a significant difference. Its going back on Tuesday morning for another run on the dyno. Half considering the e85 tune too just because I've already got all the supporting mods required for it and well...everyone says I'm silly not to.
  3. Sounds annoying, is it an FG? Who tuned it? Will they take another look at it and try sort it for you? What mods are you running? Sounds like it's struggling to control the injectors, have you got 1000cc or bigger in there?
  4. Wow, some pretty rough comments here. considering no one here owns one. Well I have one and it goes a little more than 300rwkw and the highest recorded intake pressure was 19psi. But yes, my tuner did say the intake temps were a little higher than other brands. It however didn't perform as badly as people say. For less than $500 - I'm not complaining. I'm not saying everybody go out and buy one, I'm just saying - its not a piece of sh*t like everybody on this forum would have you think. Haters gonna hate, but for the coin - no issues to report other than it's a bit of work to install, but in saying that - It's the first and only intercooler I've ever installed myself so I can't really compare it to anything.
  5. Bizket your graph looks ok to me. What do you mean it doesn't run well at all? What model is yours? What boost level are you running? Significant difference in your torque and mine. It broke traction rolling on 3rd this morning as I entered the Northern expressway, very surprising. Way overkill for the street. I'm hoping my exhaust gets a little quieter once its coked up a bit, it's pretty loud at 1500-2000rpm at the moment. I Might try e85 just to see what it does but I doubt I'd use it afterwards as its impractical. I tried to keep it low key in the engine bay. Turbo side intake would be nice so I could hear the GTX a little more, but I prefer the factory look to avoid unwanted attention.
  6. If you would like to check it out, I'm heading to morpowa now
  7. If I were against it like you say, I wouldn't be a member of a forum. Not sure how I portrayed the forum being a facesux (unsure what that means), nor have ever suggested the forum to be negative. Unsure how I offended you, but apologies.
  8. Its the only chart I've got. I'll ask him later. I
  9. Meet me? I don't even know who you are and what you want to "check out"? I might be returning to morpowa this afternoon as Simons played with the tables this morning and got it on the money now.
  10. I'm here now. What do you want to check out?
  11. Just joined the club, 2009 FG F6 Mods: GTX 1000cc EV14s Valve springs HDI cooler Turbo smart fuel reg Nizpro 4" In tank pump + surge with twin 044s Simon at morpowa got 380 something but didn't like the graph so gave me this one showing 372.8rwkw The HDI seems to be leaking boost somewhere, hence the torque curve. Max boost at 17psi I'm told Extremely smooth power delivery, I feel it's much nicer to drive and feels more predictable than factory. Breaks loose when rolling on 3rd so I'd say that's enough power for now. Simon is pushing me to go e85 cause he reckons I'll never go back to 98. It's not practical for me as the nearest e85 pump is about 25km from home. See how long it takes for me to get bored with 370, might give it a crack later on. Going to try find the boost leak on the cooler and then push to 19psi on 98 and see what happens. I'll post graph later, tapatalk is playing up
  12. It's fine. Mines manual, not sure if that makes a difference.
  13. Just got mine back from Simon, got 370 something at the wheels and I'm happy with how smoothly the power comes on. Much smoother than factory. Mods: GTX 1000cc EV14s Valve springs Surge with twin 044s In tank pump HDI cooler Turbo smart fuel reg Turbo smart bov Growler induction to keep it looking factory
  14. Great to hear Jason, What modifications have you got. Im also curious to the power figure Heinrich got vs Morpowa. I'm looking forward to getting mine back from Simon, watch this space.
  15. Yea they're good. Yes, Morpowa are doing a 98 tune to start. Maybe e85 in June, it's got the required bits (fuel delivery etc). Hoping for close to 400 on 98 though. Seen it before, See what happens.
  16. Just don't turn the air off
  17. Just don't turn the air off
  18. All sorted now thanks mate. Guys at SA Suspension were awesome. Took it back after a 1000km to check up too - all good. Went superpro solids (replaced everything) and bilstein shocks. Totally different car. It's at Morpowa now, fair bit happening: GTX3582 turbo 1000cc EV14 injectors Nizpro 4" system Valve springs In tank pump Twin 044 pump surge tank Fuel regulator Hdi cooler (already installed) Built tail shaft Any guesses what it'll put out? It's a manual FG F6
  19. Hey Marco, Sorry man, I had no idea Phil was being a dick about it. Heaps sorry man. Just give it a miss, I'll go elsewhere for a fix. I appreciate the effort you made to do this for me man, If I can ever re-pay the favor - just let me know. I figured it would be in Phils best interest to measure up a Turbo 6 - that opens his market up to future customers wanting a carbon shaft. His loss. Thanks again Marco for your help. I might make a trip down to see Phil myself in April to express my dissatisfaction. Sorry once again that he stuffed you around mate. Adam
  20. Same driveline yea? Same Diff too? I'm not 100% myself. Hard to find workshop details on these cars!
  21. Hey guys, Sorry to jump in on the topic at hand but I'm in need of a bit of help from a Local Perth member. I'm attempting to get a tail shaft made by Phil at Final Drive and we've hit a speed bump - He needs to measure my tail shaft to ensure he manufactures the new one spot on. The issue - I live in Adelaide. So if anyone with a 2009 FG F6 MANUAL is in WA and wants a free carton - can you get back to me either on here or email - adamonline AT adam DOT com DOT au That would be really appreciated. All Phil needs to do is measure it - so up on a hoist for a few minutes and that's it. It would also be preferable if someone with the same car AND a 4" nizpro system was handy - as I'm paranoid about clearance issues. Thanks guys, I appreciate it. (I'll be in Perth April 20th-23rd for work)
  22. Can confirm - blindingly obvious enhancement over factory shocks. Still have factory springs in place.
  23. I'm getting bilstein shocks put in at the moment, I've read good things about them. I have read that the factory sway bar is the way to go, I thought about doing that myself but was put off after reading numerous reports saying "keep the factory ones"
  24. Super pro comfort yes - time will kill them too Super Pro solid - I read someone managed to pop one out, but never heard of anyone tearing one up
