Yes, gotta love auto correct. Again y computers are better than phones/tabs (re: computer thread)

Other forum? How much is the venom? Dump and cat?

It's on AFF in the Venom sponsor section. For the FG it's just a direct bolt in cat and you retain the oem cast dump. It's a good price for a bolt on cat I think and proven to work well.

Got the ute back from XFT.

300.3kw at 4800rpm goooood

Failing valve springs over 4500rpm baaaaad :(

New valve springs and some top end poke will be installed next Wednesday.

Just in time for the weekend, uh oh!

Welcome to the valve spring club!

I wanted to keep my originals and make a small table out of them or something but I forgot to ask XFT to keep them, might just use the springs I bought on here ages ago as they were only a bit better than stock ones after testing. Got them for a song anyway and made most of the cash back when I sold the dekas they came free with hahaha.

Have pics of the engine open at least thanks to Shaun down there!

Also I dunno how but after having the car worked on, my gear changes are far smoother. Power delivery is smoother, bit more torque but haven't had a full WOT run from standstill, only rolling on.

The gearbox and driveline feel is way better, maybe just the car forgetting bad habits after being flashed to stock and back again (Simon needed to upgrade my XCAL3 firmware).

He advised my aging auto might be helped with ZF tune, he's developed a lovely streetable tune now, no banging into gears but still nice firm shifts he says. Will only delay the inevitable though I'm sure!

What did you get done? Stock FG XR turbo?

[Boganspeed]

Yeah stock turbo. Waste gate mod, id1000's, nizpro cooler and debunged exhaust.

Unfortunately my lovely kpm streetfighter CAI won't fit with the nizpro pipe work so have a temp set up on there ATM till next week and it'll either be modded to fit or the stock set up will go back in with a k&n and will sell the kpm set up.

Be interesting to see how much more there is in it with new valve springs. Itching to get mine now that I am used to the stock power
