Zf To Tune Or Not To Tune That Is The Question

[Vylnt79]

Hey all Iv got an fgxr6t 300rwk and was wanting to tune the auto some tell me it's a good idea others tell me not to do it wat do u guys recon? Anyone had any problems with doing this? Cons and pros (ps planing on going about 350rwk in a couple months) cheers and sorry in advance if this has been done before

Seems to smoke the 1-2 change and 2-3 change if you have that power level and decent street tyres. Even without a lot of throttle. Not a good thing for getting the power down.

That was my observation in a mate's 320 odd rwkw BF typhoon. Also really banged into gear if moving slowly. Have others got more refined shifts at low speeds/light throttle?

[Vylnt79]

Ye I know wat u mean but I'm looking for a quicker shift rather than a harder shift if that makes sense its mostly 1-2 that I feel lets it down,don't get me wrong love the power 11.8 down the 1/4 I was mostly wanting this tune for the strip and drive on the standard one everyday

A ZF tune with 350rwkw will require a new input shaft IMO. I'm still not convinced u need a tune until you near 400rwkw.

Hey mate your the bloke with the quickest standard turbo fg xr6 my car is also tuned by Nizpro and they recommended I get the input shaft I'm basically going for a set up like yours next time I go in. That was an awesome run mate If I can get my car to go anything like yours il be stocked. Congrats

Thanks mate. They now have new stronger input shafts so if u ever want more power which u will if your anything like me then your car will be set up. No reason why u wont run a low 11 or high 10 with small turbo on E85. U will fn luv it. Boys at Nizpro do awesome tunes. Btw may also want to consider a strengthened tails haft if your going to drag it.

[Vylnt79]

Ye I can't get enough of the power I think il be looking for more in the future. And the tailshaft was a main concern of mine so I got it changed to a heavy duty one about a month ago just for peace of mind

Good decision.

It's more about who does the ZF tune for you, then than the fact of getting one done!
