Yagz · Post by **Yagz** » July 17th, 2009, 3:40 pm

the only limiting factor here will be the BA rods.......

BFII/F6 rod vs bent BA rod, below.

nizpro plenums up close.... id rather stock... they are sooooo god damn rough... it costs nizpro about 4-500 to make and get them machined.....

and he aint aiming for extreme power anymore already has enough lol, just wanted it quieter... so while at it put a better exhaust on make it more efficient..

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » July 19th, 2009, 8:07 pm

as said , im not going for more power. same power less boost is the aim.
and exhaust was just to damn loud. was mad under boost but was droony while driving.

anywho old exhaust was 3'' dump, 3'' cat, 3'' strait through with 1 muffler.
new one is an x force 4'' dump, 5'' cat, twin 2.5'' with 2 mufflers and stagerd tips. all stainless with polished mufflers.

yeah same power less boost would be good and should do it.
cheers josh.

Looks tough as with the bar off! Still can't believe the size of that cooler. Exhaust looks good. Whats the note like compared to the 3"? Is it much quieter.

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » July 20th, 2009, 9:32 pm

yeah its still not tuned so cant give it a boot yet

but is alot quieter.
car is going to blue power again for a retune so ill be out fri night to test out the sound

Yagz · Post by **Yagz** » July 21st, 2009, 10:06 am

bentls · Post by **bentls** » July 21st, 2009, 7:17 pm

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » July 21st, 2009, 8:11 pm

i would like the boost to sit between 12- 14 psi but we will see what chris says.

Yagz · Post by **Yagz** » July 22nd, 2009, 9:45 am

ah ok. as in the week just gone , or last time it was there?

yeah brakes should be next. im looking at going brembo 6 pots.
if anyone can get cheap brembos or knows someone please p.m me....

Parfrey · Post by **Parfrey** » July 26th, 2009, 12:56 pm

as in just the other day.. he has a silver F6 ute..

i think ebay or fordxr6turbo would be the best place to get the brakes.. i've been thinking about getting better ones but would prolly just get the 4pot fronts or bf brakes. Man i hate my BA brakes!
