IMLOCO Member 397 Member For: 13y 2m 22d Posted 05/08/12 11:36 AM Share Posted 05/08/12 11:36 AM Hey guys got my car booked into the shop to get a bit of work done ... It's a Ba mk2 6 speed manual xr6t ute completely stock ATM .. I've got a gt3540 hi flow turbo with t04z comp wheel and .70 comp cover with internal wastegate welded shut and a external tiel wastegate and screamer set up can't wait to hear this thing go ... Also I've for plazmaman valve springs ,plazmaman surge and 044 , 60lb Siemens dekkas , xforce 4" dump into 3.5" exhaust . Eboost2 , xcal3 and tune and some sort of cooler set up same as plazmaman piping but not sure on what cooler it's about 500 long and 300 high :s maybe Moza lol :s getting upgrade when I see a plazmaman pop up on eBay lol Now the question I have for everyone is what should I get this thing tuned to to be safe power ? Not gonna thrash the days out of it just want a nice fast reliable street car ? Was thinking 330 kw or so does that sound reasonable ? Don't kno what kind of power the set up will produce but with the cooler issue don't have high expectations Any info or opinions would be helpfull thanks guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81296-piece-of-mind/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'mHoping they do have the knock detector , if not should I just ask for about 300kw at about 14psi ? I'm new to all of this mate so bear with me If it wasn't for this forum I'd say I would have defiantly spent my money on the wrong things Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81296-piece-of-mind/#findComment-1275216 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMLOCO Member 397 Member For: 13y 2m 22d Posted 05/08/12 11:52 AM Author Share Posted 05/08/12 11:52 AM Yeah defiantly !! Would 300kw on say 14psi be nice enough to the engine not too aggressive to be in ping territory ? I just want to be safe not sorry haha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81296-piece-of-mind/#findComment-1275230 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMLOCO Member 397 Member For: 13y 2m 22d Posted 05/08/12 12:01 PM Author Share Posted 05/08/12 12:01 PM Oh ok ... Well fingers crossed they have this knock detector ... They have done a few big hp jobs with screamers on xr6t's and hsv turbo set up's etc so one would think they would but guess il find out on the day .. Thanks for the great info mate appreciate it a lot !!! Il be getting my intercooler ASAP !!

I don't know much about thease things I heard ppl can use them as a scan tool or something along those lines Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81296-piece-of-mind/#findComment-1275351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
