Fg F6 - Time To Modify

[Snapper]

I am also in the process of deciding to modify F6 fg auto ute

how much am I looking at to get it to?

325rkw

350rkw

375rkw

400rkw

just trying to work out if its worth the extra bang for your buck

Change your oil pump for a billet. Save you 20g later on like I copt

How long did you drive around for after blowing the oil pump?

I've destroyed my pump with no damage to the motor. The atomic pump is over 3 times the price of a stock unit last time I checked

But the atomic one doesn't break, my mate has bounced his off the limiter with 400kw at the wheels and atomic pump plenty of times still going strong

My car was as new. Had only 10,000k's and was standard but had a tune at 328.8rwkw.

I didn't drive around anywhere. It was towed straight to Ford and then rejected.

The atomic motor I have now is supposed to be bullet proof and comes with 2 year warranty at 698kw at the fly wheel. You think you'll get up to that power ? Im on 435rwkw now and its more than enough.

Get an atomic billet oil pump. Its worth it. Do the safety parts first. Oil Pump, Surge Tank, Valve Springs, and tune it. Dont worry about dyno figures. These cars a powerful with 200rwkw. Its all in our heads.

Drive another car and you'll appreciate your car even stock. My pulsar goes no where and drive nothing like the f6 when it was standard and prob never will.

Well you cant expect them to honour your warranty if you tuned it. You also decided to go all out and get a full atomic engine after the pump went. No need to freak people out and make them think they are up for 20k if the stock oil pump goes. A surge tank on the other hand I would recommend for anyone looking to mod.

You can make plenty of power for very little. How many times do you want to make that power though?

400 is pushing the limits of many components.. Upto 350 seems to be easy.

ok to get to 350rkw would u say 4-5k

then to 400rkw 8k

is that about right

Sounds about right, if you know you want 400 in the end it will help you make the right choices at the start- may end up costing a little more to get to 350 but you won't have to junk anything when you decide to go for more

Im pretty sure smurf decided that if his engine needed a rebuild he would just go all the way and have it ready for big power.

I mean why pay twice? If it needs to be opened and your plan is for a big build in the future just do it now
