Higgo78 Member 45 Member For: 15y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 15/02/10 10:51 AM Share Posted 15/02/10 10:51 AM Hi all I have just purchased a 2003 XR6T and am wondering what is needed before I get a custom tune done.I have had different people tell me different things :-) Do I need to get bigger injectors if I only want to run say 260RWKW?The car already has a Plazmaman 1000HP Intercooler and piping, Plazmaman Plenum, Plazmaman CAI, Stock exhaust. It is running a stock tune I think. It doesn't have a flash box.I had to get the coil packs and plugs done as they were failing on boost, but Justin at Blacktrack Performance said it is running alright otherwise. He said he was surprised the car goes as well as it does with the big cooler fitted. I don't want to go overboard on the power as the missus will be driving it mainly. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66193-what-is-needed-before-custom-tune/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had coil packs and plugs done on Friday, just come home from work and the missus said it keeps stalling at lights, ny ideas?

xrt Member 160 Member For: 17y 23d Posted 16/02/10 07:44 AM Share Posted 16/02/10 07:44 AM was this the plazmaman demo car that was for sale a month or two ago?got some good gear on it I think they just set it up for show but kept it at stock power. so all you will need is injectors, fuel pump, valve springs, f6 cai, high flow cat and you'll have some very serious power.get a tune and just fit some injectors and you will get past 260 easy, probs on quite low boost aswell Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66193-what-is-needed-before-custom-tune/#findComment-982409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
