The guy was selling due to upgrading - so he kept his pipe work and CAI ETC. So I have a few questions.How hard is it to bolt up plenum and obviously move the Throttle body??I am thinking going for a Rapid under battery CAI and hotside. And fabricate my own cold side. Sound like a reasonable plan?? What issues will I have doing this??I am going to fit it myself - save on costs, Will I be able to drive it to my tuner untuned its about 30 or 40k??When I get home I will have not driving car for about 4 months (family running it every now and then)So I don't really want to go from driving toyota hiluxs and land cruisers to driving a 350RWKW beast that will definately kill me. So I was thinking I might get it tuned to run around 7 or 8 PSI and keep it to around 250RWKW. Will make my clutch last abit longer and 2 months down the track when I get the bug it won't cost me more - just a retune.Last but not least what are the limits of the stock fuel pump and injectors???Churs Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/62934-mods/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 16y 2m 21d Gender: Male Posted 22/10/09 11:21 PM Share Posted 22/10/09 11:21 PM Leave it all off until you get back from wherever you are going for 4 months. Then take the lot to a tuner, get them to fit it all and tune it. Grab a clutch while you are at it.Whats the point in bolting on crap, spending $800 on a very low tune only to leave it for 4 months, then come back and have it re-tuned?Besides, the tuners bolt on plenums, piping all the time...you dont. Why risk your car to save a few hundred bucks? Don't be impatient, do things properly the first time.

The reason I brought the nizpro gear is it was to cheap not to $1150 NZD for plenum intercooler and rocker cover. Seemed like a good plan at the time lol. Have found a new tuner and waiting for a response... Hopeflly he is abit cheaper than my last one. Don't really want to spend another 5 k in 1 hit lolChur ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/62934-mods/#findComment-946185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
