BTA motorsports (http://www.btamotorsports.com.au/) are located Inner West Sydney in Campsie, and are home to tuning Aussie, Japanese and European cars. There trademark and experience really shows in the Aussie performance vehicles including their menace Ford FG F6 which was featured in the Castrol EDGE (http://www.castroledge.com.au/) Hot Tuner challenge in 2010.

Does 385kw at the rears tickle your fancy?

Being the NSW distributor for Plazmaman, it was noticed as we peeped under the bonnet and saw the upgraded Plazmaman intercooler piping and Plazmaman intercooler. The intercooler system was chosen as it was built for all round performance being street, dyno, drag, circuit or simply just cruising. This FG also sported an upgraded Garret turbocharger which allowed it to push an impressive 385kw at 16psi of boost.

To support the power, this FG has also been given an upgraded fuel pump and injectors to keep enough fuel delivery, full exhaust system cold air intake system to help the motor breathe.

There were no fancy ECU?s other than the factory system, which was flashed in-house, which allows this FG to retain most of its factory settings. BTA have also got the experience to dual map the vehicle, allowing this FG to run either E85 or 98 ron based fuels.

Overall, the engine bay remained a relatively standard look, which is fantastic if the Police ?Randomly? decide to pull you over.

Factory appeal all over

Inside the interior of this FG was kept standard apart from the added ?BTA Motorsports badging? across the dash. No fancy gauges, turbo timers, shift lights, its kept stock to keep its unique factory look.

The exterior is black on black. After seeing this car in person, it does look good even though its not extremely lowered or sports some crazy wheels which hang out of the guards. Its kept simple and factory appeal and definitely less is more on this FG.
