Hey guys,

to get you up to speed

Back So Soon... - Ford XR6 Turbo.com

Well with 2800kms on the clock I decided to do something stupid and mod my car again. Very happy with it stock but I get bored very easily and after talking to G&D for some time about modding my old VE I thought I might as well le them have a crack at this. Mods are:

-Process west stage 2

-Full Exhaust using a Herrod cat back

-Hi flowed injectors (not sure the exact details)

-Process west surge tank with bigger fuel pump

-K&N panel filter

Result was 307rwkw at 10psi. I think I would have liked a little more but that would have been for bragging rights only. The car feel great, apart from a small little burble you really cant even tell that its been modded until you step on the gas. Hard to compare to my old BA which had about 30rwkw more but this feels as strong all the way through the rev range.

I have left the turbo stock for now as my goal was to try and run an 11 in street trim with stock turbo. I want to see what mph im able to achieve and if it cant cut it then ill look at the turbo and replace the stock intake setup. But I guess doing it this way means theres only 1 thing left to before I start making serious power. Pitty it wasnt ready for the cruise last week but im glad they kept it for a few more days as it is perfect.

Thanks.

the bug bites again lol

I dont have a bug biting me, its a disease that cant be cured obviously...

Nice work Wingnut. Get stuck into it.

Good work Wingnut. Good to see another Process West powered FG out there.

Can I ask why you staying with the stock intake? Dont you think even with the stock turbo there has to be a gain in improving the induction?

Sorry mate didnt see your reply until now.

It all came down to my budget. I think the process west bat relocater/cai was another $1000+ and as it was a basically doubled what I intended on spending for my first round of mods. There is a massive gain to be had im sure as I gained an extra 11rwkw by just throwing a K&N panel into the stock intake.

But that will be part of my next round which will involve the bigger turbo.
