h20boynz Member 11 Member For: 14y 4m 13d Posted 18/12/10 07:13 AM Share Posted 18/12/10 07:13 AM Just bought my first XR6T...heres a link to my hello thread: http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48918-the-newbie-thread/page__view__findpost__p__1064687Now this ute is totally standard, owned by an older fellow and has probably never gotten anywhere near redline.Its done 99250kms. I test drove it obviously, but had the owner beside me so couldnt really cut loose. It felt smooth, responsive and willing.Now theres a couple of places here in Auckland offering a stage one tune and flash giving around 280-300kw (flywheel) but I'll get the exhaust delt to before I do this. (anyone make a recommendation for exhausts in auckland?).What I'd like to know is whether there is anything I should check or have renewed before layering in the first stage mods?Thanks all!Adam Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72234-03-xr6t-bog-standard-making-a-start/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injectors valve springs and fuel pump should see you in the high 200's/ low 300's. . Saying that you'd want to strengthing your transmission as it won't last long at that power.
