Nice! How did you end up choosing the 6235? Seems to have fallen out of favour recently, everyone going the 6466. Where are you tuning it?
-
The stock alternator seems to be poor quality, did you upgrade with an aftermarket one?
-
That is insane! Congrats
-
Anyone try 4.11 - does it work with the turbo engine or would it limit boost build up?
-
But why?
-
There are some brand new f6 shorts still on ebay. If your going to strip and replace everything a cheaper option may be buying a na or taxi engine from a wrecker. The guys at northmead auto have been doing this with good results and cheaply. I think tbre do this as well.

Hopefully salvageable? Good luck with it.
-
What was the damage to your existing engine?
-
Have you still got the stock exhaust? Dump and cat will make it much easier to make power. Less back pressure and heat will also help with component longevity. Good luck!

Yeah, the sound of a V8 is addictive. Although you dont get that turbo rush, throttle modulation is much smoother and more progressive in the gt.

I use a steel adaptor box as well, but with a couple of rubber gaskets on each side to decouple the noise. Makes it quiter than stock.

2007 Fpv Tornado Ute - Tinkering & Setup

Yeah, I was talking generally, not involved and dont know what happened with Phil's dealings. Was not aimed at any business, but can see how it looked that way. Apologies -

Buying things cheap and selling for a profit is how the world works. False advertising and selling dodgy crap is how the world works as well unfortunately. Happening more and more, even by the good guys. -
Jacob you need to try some r888's on the back of your car
-
Dont think you need a 6boost manifold with an fg and that turbo. That was the advice Kyle gave me as the fg exhaust manifold wont be a limit for the turbo. The standard internally gated exhaust housing is also enough for quick spool and to control boost.
-
Nice! Looks better than the green FG in front...
-
Kokentoes picture looks like a more natural environment for that turbo. WB - that just looks silly...
-
Depending on supporting mods you can get 450rwkw with the 6235. Not worth changing turbos if that is your goal.

DRC works best when set to max. Use the source (ICC or aftermarket headunit) to control volume for best sound quality. Usually requires adjustment of gains on power amplifiers to set up right.
-
Huh? Confucius saying?
-
Who the biggest workshop? Kpm? Be good to have cheaper alternatives to xcal widely available
-
Awesome!!! Congrats on the run
-
I have 450rwkw in a manual. Had michelin pilot supersports 275 30 19- similar dry performance to the goodyear f1a2 I had before that. I now have r888 265 30 19. They just blow all the other tyres away. Straightline grip is no longer an issue on the street.

Good shot by the bird. Perfectly in the middle of the roof!
