xr6tnv PC LOAD LETTER Donating Members 388 Member For: 13y 8m 10d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 17/07/14 11:28 AM Author Share Posted 17/07/14 11:28 AM Picked up the car this afternoon from Mick at Pit Lane and I love the results !!We ended up going with the following mods after speaking of a power figure around 250rwkw, I know that figure isn't ground breaking and most would get bored of this power but I know that with increased power there is more chance for things breaking and the cost just goes through the roof...- Bosch 42lb injectors- Walbro fuel pump- PW stage 1 intercooler (already fitted)- 5" Outlaw Hi flow cat- Xcal 4 with Mick's tuning power- NGK spark plugs- New thermostatLeft the car with Mick for a few days to fit the parts and tune it up and was really happy with all his updates on what was happening. Mick reported that the cross over pipe had come lose on the throttle body and the rubber grommets holding it in place had broken so he sourced some new ones and installed those in. I was glad that before the tune the coil packs were inspected as they look like they might need replacing soon. Also asked Mick to fit a new fuel filter (which wasn't easy with the rounded nuts) as I wasn't sure when the old one was replaced and it came to mind that the turbo and manifold bolts hadn't been checked. Turns out two bolts were missing so lucky we checked those as well !Mick called me up on the Tuesday to report that he had achieved more than the 250rwkw mark up to around 280rwkw which I was more than happy with So we confirmed that we should leave it at that power figure and the tune could be tied up and finished. I didn't want Mick to tell me the final power result until I came to get the car :DWe ended up with 288rwkw at 12psi which I was more than happy with and was amazed at the power on the drive home ! When I had the EL Turbo it was making around 185rwkw and the extra 100rwkw on this car and the way it delivers the power is amazing ! I asked Mick to make the car so it could still be daily driven but then with the power there when needed. When he showed us the dyno sheet he thoroughly explained all of what was going on and how it worked. Very impressed with the graph lines !I've got to say a huge thank you to Mick and Belinda with their team at Pit Lane for the time and effort they have spent answering my questions, doing the work and tuning while taking time to explain what it all meant while with a smile Will certainly be going back for some more work !Will upload the dyno sheet tomorrow as I can't seem to get a copy uploaded. 5 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87891-ford-bf-mkii-xr6-turbo/page/14/#findComment-1486021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
