Looks like Ford finally got the right idea... (sall about the Turbo's)

i Like them allot.

I think if you pay an extra 3 grand when you buy one you can get another company to add on like 90 kw (not sure how much but a fair bit for 3k)

i want one.

[Driver]

i was reading on autospeed somewhere they make 3 stage kits.. i think it costs like 15grand and u get sum rediculus amount of power.

[knore]

I like it

Altho ide be a little at a 10.9 from 405 Kw at the wheels

Besides their weight, and lack of sports car looks, there pretty cool

-10.9 was done on slicks too

It still amazes me how advanced japanese engines are, the XR6T is a 4.0 L turbo.

Making 250kw.

GTR engine is only 2.6, and is very close to 250kw, even tho its stated to be 206

Bring on the new GTR! 300kw from a 3.2L :aroused:

[Blitz]

Respect to driving your ute to WSID strapping some slicks on and running a 10 second pass.

[Abo Bob]

I guess it would be easy to throw those slicks in the back too!

[Guest INASNT]

Nice, but i wonder what ford will have to say about the new car warranty after those mods

You’re comparing a motor that has been in production for maybe a year to a motor that has been around for how many years?

Development takes time and dollars. Because a motor makes xx hp/ci, doesn’t make it more technologically advanced than another. Otherwise a 350 chev would be one of the most advanced motors when it comes to hp/ci.

Upset at 10.9 from 405rwkw? Who cares how much power he made. It’s a brand new ute and it ran 10.9. Bloody good effort.

Lets see one on the street hook up half as well as a gtr

Looking on the bright side of things, I'd bet my chances on NOT getting pulled over in the XR6 T Ute, than if I were in the Skyline. But can the XR6 take corners?? Either way, apparantley these ford straight sixes are awesome, I have a mate who's building one of these in a 64~Mustang, they're plan is to get Low 10's, and hopefully in the RH-Nines.

[JimX]

I've driven a BA XR8, and it actually cornered a lot better than I thought it would. But even with 240kw or whatever it is (it was stock including suspension), it felt like an absolute slug power-wise due to the excessive weight.

If someone gave me a 10 second XR6T, I wouldn't complain. I'd even drive it proudly and stick a baby seat in the back However, that doesn't mean I'd ditch the Skyline or even swap my car preferences. I don't care if the Falcon had twice as much power as the Skyline, it just can't make up for style.

[Benno]

It will be interesting to see how long modified XR6T motors last for. If the motors last “forever” then good luck to them making big power.

All of a sudden aussie car bashing goes quiet because of a turbo…….

they dont just throw an engine together, it would have been in development for years.

the point is that the rb26dett came out in 89 (could be earlier) and compared to a new age engine that is supposed to be the best new technology it still matches up while be a smaller capacity. same for the 1jz and 2jz. therefore it goes to show just how far ahead the japanese are than the rest of the world. also that that an engine can be in production for 15 years and still be one of the best around.

also that doesnt look like a std turbo to me.

from all that ive heard the std turbo is quite small.

im probably wrong but i cant imagine ford building a top mount turbo on their cars

im just waiting for some nutter to hook up the Territory's AWD system to an XR6 turbo with one of these APS setups!!!

[Benno]

People (after market tuners) have only had the engine to play with/modify for 12 months. Like you said, RB26 came out in 89. Many more years of aftermarket tuning have gone into it. How much off the shelf gear can you buy for a RB26 compared to a ford turbo motor? Combinations are well documented for rb26’s you know what works and what doesn’t. With the fords, its never been done before. Nice effort I think.

Im not bagging the rb26, just pointing out that this guys work is a great effort.

the xr6 turbo supposbly has one of the biggest stock turbo's to come out of the factory.

heres a link to a phase kits for the xr6 turbo. the phase 3 runs a 10.98 sec @ 124.87 mph

there making a phase 4 kit soon.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

the stock xr6 turbo is like a GT40 or GT30 i think it was close to a GT40 flavour

ba to new cars and "bolt on factory" turbo kits.. for rich businessmen who will never use the performance anyhow..
