Picked up a 2003 XR6T ute on Friday. It has a sticky wastegate so I have decided to fit a few parts and have it tuned to be safe. It already has a K&N and I am doing the following.

 

7lb Turbosmart wastegate actuator 

F6 CAI

Braided Turbo oil lines

Centre Muffler removal

Kompact Dual Port BOV

 

Dyno tune. (Factory ECU tune)

 

What sort of "Ultra Safe" Kw's would you think I could be looking at if I am looking to not wear out Clutch/5spd or break anything? 

 

The ute has 173kms and is in really good shape.

 

Also, removal of the Centre muffler on a ute, will this make a decent note without being drony or too loud?

You'll be maxing out the injectors really fast with a tune with that setup. Safe enough would be somewhere between 220 and 250 rwkw. The injectors, fuel pump and exhaust will hold it back making much more than that, most likely.

 

removing centre muffler is fine. won't have a drone, but be a little louder and rumbly.

 

good luck.

The plan was something like 230-240rwkw. Just enough to give a bit of a rush without going silly and potentially having clutch or GB issues. I would be stoked with that figure and still being safe, engine/driveline wise.

Safe meaning good AFR's as apposed to running a generic Capa tune etc. Also safe as in not running at its limit or with too much boost.

Be prepared to add some valve springs to that list. anything over stock boost normally will cause valve float after a few weeks with semi decent km's on the clock. Ya maybe lucky and not need them.. But factor in $1000 -$1100 supplied and fitted...
