  1. Hey bro thanks for the help I should of been more specific with fitting the parts and driving. I meant just driving it to the tuner after fitting the parts as I have a work car to drive for the time being. I don’t think I will realistically have this car on the dyno till the mid year so I’ve decided to take my time with it. I took your advice and bought a walbro 255, can I fit this now or wait untill the day before the tune? In case the car was driven in the time being. Also did I make a mistake not getting an e85 compatible pump? I can return the injectors if they’re overkill but every post I’ve read recommend the 1000cc injectors for even this power category. I’m mainly stumped on wether I should do the oil pump gears, studs and valves springs. I know it’s better than not doing it but it adds a fair bit of cost. As I believe if I do the valve springs now I may as well do all 3. I would rather not do them to save some money and do them the next power upgrades in a year or two. The Ute itself really only gets 5000kms a year max. I also want to save the money in this area as I’m yet to get the mechanics bill for the power steering fix and what’s causing some whining in the rear (yet to find out if it’s diff, tail shaft or axle related as I’m no mechanic) and I’ve also cracked a rim and found out how much a single fgx turbo rim costs! The guy at bob janes recommended me a place that can weld my cracked rim which I’m considering.
  2. You are not wrong, TR6060 So I’ve already bought the parts and fitted some unfortunately but I’ve met the owner as most of the parts are ANTZ, so I’m sure he could tell me who he uses. I will take your advice and get the valve springs. Is there any clutch you recommend and will I expect issues with the driveline/tailshaft that I should address now? thanks for the advice
  3. Hey guys, I’ve owned an FGX ute with a t56 for over a year now and I’ve decided I want to put some power into it. All I’ve done to it so far has been - 4 inch catback - 4 inch intake w/battery relocation - turbo water/oil lines and oil drain I’ve just bought these; 4inch dump and high flow cat antz stage 2 intercooler w/piping bosch 1000cc And a throttle body elbow waiting to arrive which I’ll fit myself besides the injectors I was going to buy a catch can and a fuel pump before I get it tuned I have a few questions about it all if anyone could help out. 1. Is there anything else I should be getting like head studs and valve springs or are they only needed when I get a bigger turbo and chase 400kw? 2. What fuel pump should I get, and does the tuner fit the fuel pump injectors for me? 3. As long as I don’t go over the stock psi setting I’ll be fine to drive the car with my mods untill I get it tuned and not cause limp mode? I have a work vehicle untill I tune it. 4. What price range should I be expecting for a tune, I’m in Melbourne. Is there anywhere someone recommends using? I’m chasing 320rwkw am I being realistic? Also, my power steering hose also burst under the pump is this a common issue? Thanks heaps
