Xr6t Work Having Done

[Juan]

hi all.

the work I am having done to my fg xr6t ute is as follows;

just wondering if this is good to get done first up. or if there are better things to do off the bat.

also if price is ok. its being done by jim at APC in newcastle st perth.

3.5" stainless dump pipe (is this a Bov? will it make that noise. not really a fan of it)

high flow race cat 4"

SCT Performance custom tune box

Dyno tune.

CAI

all up for those mods is $2,957. not sure of output by the end.

thanks peeps

Should be a nice car once its done mate.

Have a read through the technical forums and you'll be able to get an idea of what others are getting.

The dump pipe is part of the exhaust, it is not a Blow Off Valve

[Juan]

sweet.

does a bov actually improve performance? or just gets rid of excess pressure. and makes the annoying whoosh. well annoying in my opinion.

your car does actually have a BOV standard, but it is what is called a Plumb Back system. The factory (and legal) set-up takes excess air from the inlet tract - once the throttle closes - and returns it to the air intake. THis in theory improves turbo spool up and reduces noise emissions. The factory one is made of plastic, so its longevity can be shorter, you can get cnc made direct replacements that are more efficient but work the same way

[Juan]

ahh so that's what they do.

thanks for the info.

this car will be a everyday driver so I want it to be or atleast look as legal as it can.

If you're playing with exhaust parts you might want to throw injectors and look at a fuel pump as well.

Once the exhaust is freed up you'll start to lean it out pretty quick with standard injectors.

furrymuff. I will have to look into it.

I spoke to apc again. they say I will be running about 12psi. and will end up with 280rwk's.

bloody good for 3k of work. cant wait to get it done.

but a little reluctant. dont want to lose new car warrenty.
