F6 Intercooler On A Ba Xr6T

[stapes88]

Hey guys,

Ive just put a BF F6 intercooler on my 05 xr6 turbo. Do I need to get it tuned so the air/fuel mixtures are right or is it ok as is? Also, I took the plumbing pipe off the stock BOV so it vents into the atmosphere. Before I put the F6 cooler on, it used to be quite loud and flutter sometimes. Now the F6 cooler has made the ptshhh alot quieter and almost no flutter at all. Is that normal for a larger cooler? Thanks in advance.

no need to retune with a F6 cooler, has been tried and tested by alot of people, including myself.

The F6 cooler is a bigger version of the standard cooler, and no more efficient when it comes to flow... it may reject a bit more heat, but your not going to notice any difference in power

The Blow off is probably quieter as you have introduced more bigger pressure drop into the setup.

A decent aftermarket cooler will reduce pressure drop and have better flow. hence why you need a re-tune...

What type of bolt do I need to plug up the hole in the fpv cooler

[Dillz]

What hole?

[Pazzo]

Don't know what it's called Dillz but there is some sort of sensor there.

Yeah where the old sensor goes :-)

I blocked the hole in my old typhoon cooler with a 301grade bolt don't have the size now but will check when I get home.

Damn it I've taken the bolts out and thrown the packaging. well they are champion brand and I measured the diameter of the thread with a digital caliper and it's telling me it's between 12 and 12.6mm with a length of 25mm. Anyway got mine from autobarn. Comes in pack of 4.

Hope this helps

N bang it in
