G6E Mk1 Build

[V8landcruiser100]

HI I'am starting my G6E build, the car is a 2009 build MK1. My goals for the car is for it to remain looking stock with power in the 300 to 320kws at the wheels.

The first mods that I had purchased was a Palzmaman turbo side intake and battery relocation which I had installed for 3 weeks. The intake was fun for 2 weeks but was just way to loud.

The Plazmaman intake was replaced with a KPM street fighter/ FPV Coyote intake

This intake is great and has a stock look to it and has a great sound without the over the top Dyson induction noise.

This was followed up with a PWR stepped intercooler. The build quality is amazing and they are not joking when they say its the largest core that will fit with out cutting. When installing it I almost thought it was not going to fit, its very tight.

The intercooler was fitted with the Plazmaman intercooler piping kit. The stock piping that goes through the underside of the drivers side headlight is for some reason crushed down and somewhat restrictive.

I have a venom hi-flow cat pipe but wanted to get a baseline dyno run done before it was fitted and dyno tuned. The results was very surprising considering it has not been tuned

there is more to come and will keep you posted.

Very nice

Going to mod the turbo, or keep it stock

Mines stock and it performs very well, but I wish it had just a little more up top

Thanks mexicanbatman I was intending to keep the turbo as is but knowing me once its tuned and I get board with it, it could be on the cards. The main problem I have is traction but I am hoping some nitto NT05's should help.

Very cool. It's a shame that cooler is hidden!

that intercooler is nice. where did you get it from?

Do u need a gt bonnet to fit that air box and were did you get it and how much it looks awesome

[V8landcruiser100]

The intercooler I purchased directly through PWR when I went to Brisbane on holidays.

The air box was from KPM Adelaide and cost $595 supplied. I run the standard bonnet but I am not sure if KPM re-manufacture them to fit.

Nah there's another car on here in the thread about that air box and is in an XR6T with standard bonnet no dramas

Re-manufacture them to fit??? So you had to modify your or did it fit straight on???

[V8landcruiser100]

it bolted straight on but was slightly touching the intercooler piping so I removed a little bit of plastic from the side with a die grinder just to be safe but is still a close fit
