after a year of searching for the answer to the issues I had in the FG XR6T and a change of workshops, I have finally joined the 400 club. what was supposed to be a fairly normal test session at Sydney Dragway after a retune and fuel system upgrade, turned out to be a long journey. the fg nosed over at 330ft and lost all power. after packing up, I started it up and got a death rattle that sounded like an old state transit train. thinking it was finally the end of the 3576 turbo (had a great run over the 3 years, 335rwkw on 98 and 373rwkw on Powerplus E85) boy was I wrong. 11 weeks (a delay in transport, a break in and a hospital trip) I finally picked up my car today. Justin at Blacktrack Performance in Cardiff, has transformed the FG into an absolute weapon. The turbo was upgraded to a GT35/82R, we also added a Gibson Chromemoly HD tailshaft, and the cause of the death rattle..... one stuffed flexplate. so we added a Nizpro HD upgraded plate and ARP bolts. the result. First run on E-flex was a staunch 466.3rwkw. considering the Fg is also my S/ST drag car (11.00 to 12.99 class) I had the tune reduced to 438rwkw and another flex for a Mrs tune at 396rwkw. the change is unbelievable, driving back to Sydney (with the occasional squirt) the fuel economy was below 9.2l/100km (best I ever got was a 12.2 and that was stock) yet smash the pedal, and even im trying to climb out of the boot lol. so mods done are: wlabro 460l E85 pump and larger cradle 1000d injectors Gibson HD 900hp tailshaft Nizpro HD flexplate Plazmaman HD valve springs GT35/82R turbo, flapper mod and 12psi actuator Xforce 4 inch dump, 5 inch cat and 3 1/2 inch catback Rapid Systems V2 intercooler, piping and battery relocation. next step is to test the tune and see where abouts in the10's we are. cheers
