Do you want to upgrade your FG XR6 Falcon brakes to Turbo Brakes? This is the cheapest and easiest way to upgrade your NA XR6 Falcon brakes to FG Turbo Brakes.
If you use Planet Parts front brake upgrade (rotors & said brackets), and do the Territory rear brake upgrade (you will need to trim the backing plate a tad), and with some EBC (my go to choice) pads (i used red fronts & yellow rears) it is a bang for buck upgrade; you can upgrade the rotors to something decent, and if you can snag a PBR Sports upgrade kit, isnt too bad & can be done for less than half of a Brembo 4 Spot front with PBR rear upgrade. And having done both a a 2nd hand & new Brembo upgrade to my F6 (from 4 to 6 piston) and BF XR8 respectively, whilst brakes are one area you should never scrimp on, the above i mentioned in the first line is miles ahead of the factory warp happy crap

First mod I did to my FG... Too cheap and easy to ignore! I used cheap rotors and didn't know about being very pedantic about cleaning the hub2rotor contact areas. Result was annoying steering wheel shake when braking heavily and the rotors warmed up. Eventually replaced the discs with DBA's and cleaned the mating surfaces really well. No more steering shake!

Yeah cleaning is a big thing. When I do the video on a proper service and refresh for the brakes I’ll be mentioning cleaning, because it is important.

Hey dude old vid but just wondering if you ever went back and put some kind of retaining springs back in ? I just did the same mod and found they didn't fit. Unsure if Im gonna kill myself without them although seems to be braking fine thus far

How much did they improve your stopping power?
@fgmods
2 жыл бұрын
Not at all. Turbo brake setup use the same booster, pad size, calliper size, so there’s no extra force being applied. The benefit of turbo brakes (these bigger rotors) is that you now have greater heat absorption. So can be worked harder for longer before they do lose stopping power. So I suppose that could be considered greater stopping power in a way??

Only really improves the fact that the na brake package is dog shit and prone to warping pads definitely a good upgrade if you want to save headaches in the future

So here is the interesting thing. Everyone assumes a person installing a turbo is a wanker who plans to race on the roads at way above legal speed limits. The person may or may not be a wanker; but that does not mean he/she is going to exceed speed limits. They might just like to get up to the speed limit quicker than stock engines, or they might have in mind to tow a trailer or something and want to do it easier. The need for larger brakes comes with the intent to do high speeds or tow heavy loads. If you are a person who just likes extra oomph and are not one of the aforesaid wankers who plans to greatly exceed speed limits on public roads there really is no need to upgrade your brakes at all. That is unless you are a person who believes the brakes were just plain crap in the 1st place as the manufacturer made the vehicle. So to all those who plan to drive with common sense you could save yourself the exercise and the money of upgrade to something way beyond what you need. But it is nice to know upgrading can be a simple enough job and not overly expensive. Thanks for the video.
