Hey Mate,

I've been following the progress with your Phoon and I have to say you've done an excellent job. Congratulations with the result, that must be awesome to drive.

There's a couple of questions I have for you. What exhaust system are you using, as I have noticed there are many different combinations going around producing good results.

Also, what exactly is the wastegate "flapper" mode that you talk about?

Thanks for your input.

Cheers

Cheers mate, Yeah its great fun to drive and then i can be driven normal as if it is no diferent from stock.

The exhaust im running is a Xforce 4" dump pipe and 3.5" cat to a twin 2.5" exhaust, its pretty off the shelf stuff, The flapper mod, is the factory wasgate flap being to small and not allowing enough exhaust gas's out and causeing over boosting so the wategate getts milled out larger and then the a larger "flapper" has to be fitted due to the holw being bigger.

Cheers Tristan

Thanks for the information/quick reply.

Being able to drive it like a stock car is the beauty of modifying these cars, well to me anyway!

Oh its fantastic, when im just crusing down the freeway it will do 6-7ltrs per 100km..

conquerII · 03-10-2008, 06:01 PM

You can't go wrong with that!

conquerII · 03-10-2008, 06:28 PM

I'm also interested to know, how do you find the driveability of the car with these modifications? Specifically I am interested to know how quickly and powerfully the car comes onto boost in the higher gears (eg 4th or 5th gear crusing at 60km/h), as well as in 1st gear.

More generally, does the car perform consistently, or can you feel the power deteriorate to some extent after a little bit of "spirited driving"??

The car was not the best off boost before it was tuned at BLUEPOWER, Now its fantastic drivabilty i let my GF drive it but im in the car of course... It alwasys consistant evan after a thrash its just keeps going obviously in cold cold weather its better but it not like it lacks power on hot days. it comes on boost quickly in first probly aornd 2000rpm. Im to scared to give it the bost from 1st to 4th its just getting a bit scary. its not laggy in 4th -5th crusing compared to many turbo car's.

What I will say is how i ended up with a F6,
One of our newer members to the ORSM club Chris ORSM06,
recently purchased a bionic F6 manual everything you could want.
Having known him for a while prior to his F6 and having driven his previous XR6t we met up and let me take his F6 for a drive........WELL how good are these things!!

:

: sooooo.... I went to Etheridge Ford and contacted Andrew Riley who was able to help me out with my own F6. and a few weeks later here it is!!!

The only mod to date is the custom plates BLKPHN speaks for its self i guess.

BFmkII F6 TYPHOON Manual, Leather, Climate, premium sound, FPV leather wheel, FPV floor matts, Brembo's. and all the other jazz that comes on FPV that makes them so much better than a normal Falcon.

Pics.

Can you please tell me were you had the photos done on the melbourne wharfs how do you get there??

Very nice Trist, suits the car. First shot is great, makes the car look like a model car. Is that blurred in Photoshop?

Maybe I should get green on my tyres
