  1. FG F6 injectors are sh1te. They don't flow enough for good power and are probably at max duty cycle. To maximise fuel flow you'll need: - Larger injectors, some Seimens 60lb injectors for example - A larger intank fuel pump like a Bosch 404 or Walbro To fix the wastegate issue and allow the tuner to control boost better: - Get a 12psi actuator installed - Make sure the wastegate has been ported and a 38mm swing valve (flap) has been installed. Otherwise the boost will spike and could cause detonation (pinging) A retune should get you a lot more power with those things sorted, but your cooler will not do the job and you'll cop heatsoak as the cooler will not cool the charge air enough which will rob a lot of power. A better cooler and piping should be your next upgrade. With all of the above and a cooler you should easily see 350+rwkw on safe boost (15-16psi) No matter what BOV you use you'll always get the surging sound. Many, many, many people have blocked the BOV off for many, many, many years and never had a problem. Surging hasn't been proven to blow up a turbo so it's all about the sound (or lack of) that you prefer when the throttle shuts.
  2. that's XRDOSE. I saw him when we left but didn't see him on the hwy. Where were ya Mick?
  3. Too true. So many junga cars. I saw both those dark FG's get impounded too. There were cops everywhere ( ). Everyone needs to lay off the hwy for a while me thinks. Find another road to cut laps of
  4. It was just too cold to stand around lol Anyone else get a :titwave: from some chick in a VN?
  5. 1 Henz 2 Sexr6t 3 JD 4 Dillz 5 kvbaby 6 Matty 7 RLQUIK no. 2 8 cruiser85 9 RSPEC 10 NVYDF6 A few others will come with us too
  6. Mine did 279rwkw at 11am at Better Carby (27deg) then 279rwkw at 11pm at Pro Flow (21deg) on the same day. A bit of timing and .5 psi increase saw an extra 23rwkw. 471Nm at 174kph with the tune that's all I have
  7. 2 Sexr6t is that Theo's old car? Who drives that now?

    Didn't Simon from XFT get similar results from his ute a little while ago?

    Whoa! I have ease of power jealousy

    Couldn't be bothered reading the other posts, but hold the gear to certain revs and let the engine coast the revs back down. Try and do it up hills too. It helps the ring seals bed in. Don't go over 5000revs within the first 1000 k's at least, then once you hit 4000-5000k's drive it like you stole it from the cop in Terminator 2. There's a good write up about it somewhere... Oh here it is: Engine break in secrets
  11. Congrats on the new addition Brad. Hard lesson learnt but you're a better person from it!
  12. Not such a bad thing. At least it would be run in well
  13. Not if you buy one that some other goose has spent his hard earned on...
  14. Would an auto 400rwkw F6/XR6t get munched by a similarly powered manual GT-R?
  15. Don't buy one they're sh*t. I paid $58k for a demo in Feb last year, leather, camera, floor mats and a free smile from the fat d1ckhead used car salesman that sold it to me thinking I'd never give him a deposit and drive it away in a million years. dealers are about as useful as a trap door on a boat.
  16. LOL I finally get to use this emoticon
  17. CONGRATS MATE! Very happy for you. Come over and I'll block of your BOV for some dose action
  18. GUNFPV? Dunno j.d, in two minds about it. I could easily go all out but I want to extend and renovate my house, godda pay for my wedding in January which is 3 years overdue, got my daughter's school fees this year (private schooling is expensive!) There's so much going on I think I need to be smart about it this time and save my pennies for the right priorities
  19. and 400rwkw lol One of his mates was with us in a black FG F6 with similar power too. It likes to go roller skating. Made me miss the ol' silver phoon days
  20. Thanks dude. Which car was yours? I don't jog much because it's slow, I let the other gooses run really fast in traffic and then slam on the anchors every 30 seconds before they run into someone. Not my idea of fun! Wasn't too bad last night. Wanted to find that GT-R on the gate after he screamed past maccas a few times. I wanted to see it in action but he bailed
  21. Weak! I have to get up early for work on Saturdays but the inner petrol head doesn't give a toss about the lack of sleep
  22. King Springs make an SSSL they just don't seem to advertise it. Even when I rang them up they still maintained the SSL was the lowest they had. Idiots
  23. SSL front SSSL rear FTW! Perfect ride height and squats down nicely under load
  24. I would depending on dates. Happy to pay $100-$200
