Hi all, it's looking like my timing chain tensioner isn't up to the task anymore (possibly due to the heavier Atomic timing chain?). Was curious as to whether it is possible to change the timing chain tensioner without removing the front timing cover on an FG turbo. Also looking to drop in some Kelford 218-B cams in at the same time, does this follow the same process as installing a set of stock cams or must some extra checks be done?

Any updates on this build? Curious as to how the coated CP pistons went.

Any updates on the build?

Have you considered getting the pistons coated before you put them back in? Might be a way to get the PtW clearance a bit tighter if that's the issue.

Thanks for the update. Crack in the crank isn't something I've heard of very often before tbh. What harmonic balancer were you running?

This is mine, atomic chain and guides with OEM tensioner.

Did you ever figure out what this is? My built engine sounds the exact same and the sound doesn't go away when it's warm.

Any updates on this? Got a similar noise coming from my built motor however it's quiet on cold start and develops the same noise after a minute or two of running.

Hey guys, Got a few upgrades going on my car in the next few days such as 4" dump, hiflow gtx and an external gate setup but I'm gonna have to drive it for a week or so without a retune. Obviously going to be taking it easy on it and staying off boost but I have a question regarding the plumbing of the external wastegate going on the car. Would connecting the bottom port of the external gate to the front compressor housing ensure that the boost level does not exceed the spring pressure? I'm going to be running a 14 psi spring in the wastegate. Thanks in advance for any help.

Is a centre muffler delete with a hi-flow cat obnoxiously loud? Ive only heard it on car running stock cat/dump.

The quote was 200 to cut out the centre muffler and replace it with a 3" mild steel straight pipe, 250 for stainless.

Hey guys, currently got a FG tuned to around 300rwkw, looking to get a little more sound of it, currently got a venom hi-flow bolt in cat with stock dump/cat-back. Getting a middle muffler delete will run me $200 at a local exhaust shop so I was thinking it might be worth just going for a cat-back system. Looking at X-forces range of cat-back systems I got quite lost at which cat-back system would be suitable as I'm planning on upgrading to a X-force cat/dump with my next stage of upgrades. Which X-force cat-back system would fit to a Venom bolt in cat and would this system also work with a X-force cat/dump later down the track? Also I've read that any changes to the exhaust system from behind the cat don't require a re-tune, is this true?

Hey, looking at getting some new rubber for my FG mk1 XR6T, currently running the stock snowflake wheels with 245 tyres I believe. Just wanted to know how wide of a tyre I can run on the stock rim and thoughts on RE003 vs PS4 for a 300rwkw fg. Cheers

Hey guys, was just wondering how much I'd be looking at paying roughly to get my front K-frame replaced in an FG given I provide the replacement part. Also any recommendations for places to get it done in the northern suburbs of melb. Cheers
