got the ute dyno'd

[MGM]

hi guys, i got my au3 xr6 ute dyno'd today and it came out with 137kw at the wheels with only a k & n panel and larger snorkle on it, the rest is standard. the guy said he was very surprised with the power it had made.

does this sound about right for the car and mods?

[b2tf]

would be a manual with that sort of number?

I got my ute done a few weekends back. AUII xl only mods are extractors and 2.5" exhaust. Came in at 129kw at the wheels and its an egas model aswell.

refreshed my tune and power run the other day s2 wagon on duel fuel, readings in my signiture

[kenz]

Thats lookin good Col, good improvement on the previous figures

thanks guys, yeh its a manual, does taking the rear muffler out of a standard system and 2.5inch pipe replaceing it make any difference you reckon? thats all ive done to it

do auto's have less power than manuals?

[au2sw]

i think fitting a full 2 1/2" system and decent extractors will make a world of difference as it allows easier passage for spent gases to pass through.
thanx luke, its amazing what a decent system can do with a good tune, i must admit i do neglect it a bit: too busy looking after customers cars

yep, the old A4 is a bit of a power robber.

WOW!! I think thats a huge number for an XR6 with your current mods ......I remember my XR6 getting 118rwkw with exactly the same mods and i was told that was a good result ,except mines an auto......

thanks mate. im thinking of going a full exhaust system to get things going a bit better. if my vss is stuffed what happens to my car? does it feel less powerful or doesnt read speed right? one code in the ecu was faulty vehicle speed sensor

it seems to be a fairly common problem on au's.everytime mine gets a scan tool put on it ,it always comes up that thers a prob with speed sensor

you must have a very healthy xr6 there mate 137rwk is about the best i've heard of.did the series 3 xr6 utes come with the vct motor?

yeh its got the vct motor. the dyno says it has that much power but it doesnt really feel like it. im getting a new lsd soon as mine is on its way out. are diff gears that hard to do with the diff already lsd? or cost heaps?

[FS5]

last time i changed the diff gears in mine it cost me $330 .thats using second hand relapped (or whatever its called )diff gears .

vct mmmmmmm.

at the gold coast by A1 something or rather i can find out there exact name and Number.
considering your in melbourne though,its a bit of a drive.
a lot of shops are a lot dearer if they use new gears.but considering all the nissan rice burners ran 3.45 t0 3.89's not 100% sure about 4.11's getting secondhand rellaped gears is a bit cheaper option.shop around there some good shops out there.
