Finally getting on the dyno tomorrow. Car has been running really well (original owner did Process West stage 2 cooler, 100cpi cat, drilled injectors, tune at Elite Automotive) and it spat 280 odd rwkw last november on a 30+ degree day on about 11psi.
Also has a ZF tune which kind of fucks the whole experience. Too harsh. Elite would have continued to get my business however they really didnt seem too interested when I asked about touching up the box tune. Which is a shame, Paul took me for a blat in their blue F6 and that thing is quick.
Tomorrow Clinton from ProFile autosports now gets triple the coin Elite would have for a new fuel pump, 12psi actuator and some dyno time for a complete retune. You unfortunately cant adjust the zf tune independantly, you have to retune the whole shebang when you change tuners.
Hoping to wind as much boost as the little turbo will allow, and praying the valve springs arent going too soft. Am expecting 320rwkw on about 15psi depends on the injectors as well as the springs. I really enjoy the FG turbo, it spools so damn fast and I can chop many higher powered BA/BFs until about 80ks on the street. After that im toast haha.
Once im used to it this time, next round will be ID1000's, full exhaust, valve springs, GTX turbo and as close to 400 as I can get. Hopefully E85 becomes more readily available soon too, would mind getting on that train.
Somewhere in the middle, i want to put 4pot Brembos on the front, upgrade the rears to F6 spec, Bilstein shocks and a trutrac rear end.
G6E Turbo.
