Hey all,

I bought it off gov auction so yea its pritty sweat love me fords but yea i wanna do some simple mods ... atm i an going for shift kit (cause its a i6 auto), extractors and sports exhaust, magna injectors, lsd, ss induction air intake and i have allready put a K&N pannel air filter.

Well, first off, welcome.

Now, air intake, try using a Tickford Air Intake, you can get them at your Ford dealer. About $35.

LSD, depending on what ratio you want, varies in price. Mine is an AU(3?) XR LSD with 3.45:1 ratio, cost me $1000 including fitting from a forum member.

Exhaust. There's alot of good systems, some use one mob, others use another mob. I have Pacemaker PH4480 headers and Magnaflow Hi-Flow cat, straight through muffler and 2 1/2" piping. Cost $940 including fitting.

Why would you want to put magna injectors in it? Is it because they are the blue 24l ones? If so, aren't the stock AU I6 injectors the same. If your intention is to get more fuel into the motor to make more power, then there's not much point doing that if the engine isn't tuned to handle it. The engine puts in as much fuel as it can to match the air going in - if you make the injectors too big, all you will do is make the mixture rich. Rich = less power. To do it properly (assuming the magna injectors are actually bigger than the standard I6 injectors), you will need a unichip or similar to make it all work.

As AUII_SE_Ute says, just whack on the tickford snorkel, then search the workshop section on aufalcon . com to find the 'Casper" air box mod - these are as effective as the overpriced SS inductions bigmouth.

As far as exhaust goes, I think I have the similar to AUII_SE_Ute. Paccies (mine are 4499s) & 2.5" redback cats back system.

You can get more info for your chip question by visiting www.aufalcon.com

You won't need bigger injectors just yet as your standard ones should accommodate you for a few more modifications yet.
