Custom Tune

[our06t]

260-280 is about the limit for the rest of the stock gear once you got injecters

I was running 285 with injecters ,monza cooler and 2nd cai.

added high flow cat and process west surge tank set up , put it straight up to 308

added the process west stg 1 cooler that didn't increase power but it does make the power stay there once things get hot

What's your budget?

Hi

Budget is $1500 at this stage,all I have done at this stage is fit a KN panel filter.

I would like to hit 300kw at the wheels whch should be enough for now.

[our06t]

that will get ya close

injecters ,tune and cat that should make short work of 1500

your cooler may be the only thing stopping you getting 300

[R-SPEC]

Do those things and save up for a cooler

You'll come close to 300 with cat, squirters, pump & tune but it wont be consistent. Once you give it a squirt, performance will decrease for the next time you put the foot down due to heat soak. Once you upgrade cooler as well you should have a fairly healthy/repeatable 300rwkw

I thought the BFII where alot better than the BF and BA in terms of getting higher numbers from fewer mods. I remember a tuner on her bragging he was able to get 289rwkw's from a BFII XR6T with KN, injectors and a tune. Couple that with the fact he has a phoon and also getting a cat he should easily get 300rwkws shouldnt he? Yes heatsoak will be a problem in the long run though...

Hi Guys,

Worked a few things out and have come up with a budget of $5k.

Would greatly appreciate your feedback on mods,brands and expected RWKW on my BF F6 Rspec.

Thanks Jim

best advise is to contact one of our Advertisers in your area and discuss what you are looking for. They all can package things to suit your budget.

for starters edit box, cai, cat ,injectors , valve springs ( depending on model), injectors, fmic and custom tune will see you north of 300rwkw

You may be able to push it futher, but I wouldn't advise it until your budget is bigger, remember the more power it makes, the less time it will last and if you only want to spend $5000, you wont want to have to pay for a full engine rebuild due to exploding fuel pump gears of a bent of broken conrod. About 380 rwkW is a reasonably safe number for your car if you treat it with respect and change the oil every 5000kms or preferrably even more often. Kilomter long burnouts and entering it in the sumernats etc, will kill it very quick, mostly because our cooling system is not deisgned for anywhere near the amount of power that people like us are putting through it.

If you found a second hand intercooler & intercooler pipe kit and/or a full exhaust system, you could do it even cheaper

Oh, and make sure your tune doesn't rev the engine over 6500PRM and the safest way to do this is to start retarding the ignition before this point is reached so by the time the engine reaches 6500 it has run out of power and can not rev any further. The easier way for the tuner is to just set the rev limiter for 6500, but particularly if your car is manual, the shock of repeatedly hitting your rev lmiter at 400 odd rear wheel kilowatts while you come to grips with the wheelspin can kill your engine. If your tuner can not do the retarded ignition option, you should have the rev limiter set lower, at 6000 or 6200 and you will need to try not to hit it much.
