Modding Your Fg Xr6/g6E Turbo Take 2

[Guest]

Power comes at a cost but we are not talking 5k laggy. More like 3200 laggy

 

Power comes at a cost. Cant be on boost from idle and have power..

Gtx3076 would be hilarious
Spool at idle and would flow around low 300 on e85

 

Also not selling the g6 anymore

Would work but what is the point. What be nice on the street but run out of puff in the gears. Someone do it for lols

I mean it's perfect for this wanting just a little more than stock power
And people who tow
More torque than any v8

haha I'd pay to see someone run one for a comparison

 

Is a billet wheel a good option for someone not wanting huge power?

 

does it mainly improve spool and efficiency?

 

 

[MattyP]

The 11 blade billet wheels are usually lighter and more efficient at higher rpm

Matty was there a billet wheel that fits straight in the 76 or does the cover need to be machined. My 3576 is like 30 000ks old so would rather mod it than buy 3540 with higher kays to mod. Could always change cover I suppose

Race equipped to a billet wheel convo now to suit our 3576
Just mod yours to a gtx3576 and be done with it
Cost is around 700 though

Hi guys, haven't posted for a while

 

Just got a 2010 FG as a company vehicle so the old 360rwkw BF has to go.

We are looking for 300rwkw + but I will not be racing, only overtaking and giving it a squirt to settle the Holdens down.

 

So far we have changed the plugs to BKR6E-IX

Fitted K&N panel filter

Replaced the plastic elbow with a cast one

Will be gutting the cat before tuning

and CTB will be fitting Bosch 1000cc matched injectors on July 25th prior to tuning.

 

We have not changed the inter-cooler or piping because the boss wants to see if it holds together first and we hardly see temps over 30c here in Auckland and hoping it's the heat that softens the plastic.

 

I was wondering if anyone else has tried similar and what pipes, if any, might be the first to go?

 

In case of emergency I will carry some duct tape to get me home and then tell the boss I told you so when he has to buy the Plazmaman cooler and plumbing

Any real reason of risking it in the first place?

Or just hoping to get it done without the cost of upgrading?

 

 

A HDI isnt very $$ 

 

Cant u keep the BF? As a future project toy
