ish

LOL,,, it was a brake test officer !?! I came here expecting a squad Xr6t being drifted or some shit

interesting wiki has a bit of a comparision going on Barra 270T This is the most powerful I6 ever produced by Ford. Going by the officially stated specifications, it is possibly tied as the most powerful stock production I6 in the world (compared to the 360 HP M54 found in the 1400-unit limited production BMW E46 M3 CSL), since the Japanese high-power turbocharged I6's are by historical convention typically given artificially low specifications on paper (usually no more than 280hp). Going by empirically measured performance, the 4.0L 270T exceeds the ~320hp (239kW) output of most stock 2.6L RB26DETT and 3.0L 2JZ-GTE engines. It also has the highest torque of any Australian built engine. It is found in the BA and BF Falcon F6 Typhoon and Tornado and has been in production from 2004. The increase in power is from a Garrett GT3540 turbocharger. Power is 270 kW / 362 HP @ 5250 rpm Torque is 550 Nm @ 2000-4000 rpm

Hey ... I am in the process of purchasing another FI car soon and thought i would throw this up! its a toss up between a another GTR or one of these ford XR6t's. i am interested mainly in development scope of both the RB26dett Vs the Barra i6t. I am well aware of the ford barra i6t obvious on paper advantages of larger CC , its VCT and much later design but wondering if it Compares in scope (design ,efficiency, quality , longjebady, enhancements available to the RB26dett) Anyone ever had the chance to own/use both under similar circumstances ie dyno runs with simular turbos on each engine etc and form any opinions? I have had RB25 RB26 RB30 RB30 hybrid 26 head

Sold pending payment

it was a shit stir fluffy

u got me eug

who gives a pooo .. turbos are more efficent power ... na's are for pussies and fuel savers and its about time you all traded your bombs in on FI

John keen can only tell what his dyno tells him. I have taken countless cars to him and he has guessed off his dynomax only to be corrected by logic in the end by someone that understands. He is good at making you believe he knows when he dosent

its all over rated ! buy a skyline and get pumped by a XR6t.... but i could be just being sarcastic

Shoot em ... i f*king hate thieves .... especially personal possession thieves

My prediction > is the GTR will be scheduled here . Most that can afford it wont buy it and get a porche instead and we will all be importing them back here secondhand in 10 years from now... History repeating

LoL i know Oscar ... it was a bit of tongue in cheek sarcasm. But I was wondering if the article meant the worldwide fans and maybe some factions of Nissan had adopted the title in the project or it was the article writer beefing up an old media cliché'

Who has nicknamed it godzilla is what i would like to know!

i would say you do more damage for your Na brutha's with your outrageous comments about racing than anything else

i give up, to much dribble in here. I am sure no one cares why you choose your NA except the thread starter... if you cant take a bit of stic for your na with out having a whinge and writing a 400 word essay on your rather strange take on motor sport, get a councilor. I come from and era when a turbo was a joke and NA v8s were the sheep car.. i have spent 18 years in turbo’s now coping bad crap in the start for my huffer going back before r32's and FF were invented. I can tell you straight eug you’re making things up about things you don’t understand. In the 80's it was turbo’s blow up, to much lag, bearings wear out, Australia is to harsh, never beat a V8 etc etc. All complete BS!!! Now after years of first ignorance and then later results it has been proven to be one of the most efficient ways of making power thu results and refinements The points are as stated NA Factory> good to learn in, fairly instant response governed by cam specs and better fuel economy. You get the same car although slightly not as factory strengthened as a turbo release in certain area’s> brakes, drivelines, fuel systems. Turbo factory> Faster, adjustable power, perpetual motion system and a much wider scope if you possess the understanding I know what I would rather take up a hill or round a track….. a beautiful loading turbo or a na of the same kilowatt that I have to ring to get its cam range on power…. This is where a turbo comes into its own and cancels anything you claim will slow it down ie lag which is only ever a take off or driver problem.

lol typo somehow posted it before it was finished see below

How about a section for the Youtube and similar site clips ... Google saw potential in it and its going to get bigger

ya ... i would say go the fabric but if you must try to dye it then head of to Spotlight for the fabric colors. A few VL restorer's swear by it for fixing faded velour.

Nice Avatar Spunky

Na's are Na's ... cool cars for their intended individual purpose's I highy doubt that you gain better driver skill buy driving a NA same model over a turbo version... Sure you will end up trying harder but thats nothing to do with the end result of learning skills to Race . Racing is combo of Accelration, Handeling, braking and genoral control over a distance course >not try harder in less power will equip you better .....the fact is you will lap faster in any car with practice Your getting defensive for no reason there EUG, No gtr owner has bagged anyone in this thread i just found that few lines about the NA supra higly amusing.

Fuel pump and advancement ! i would say off top of head. what are the A/R's rear housings on the turbo's?

AHAHAHHA yeah rite Mate !!! all else i sorta agree with

Cool Cool, I think it would be ok if i left it NSW reg... I do have that option if i want. I was just concerned i dont want to have to pull it all apart and put stock parts in when the reg is due Are you firstly interested in WRX trade or shall i move it on them come see you ? the link is in the first post i made here .
