Wife's new car... XR6 Turbo!!!

[PTR33]

What a little darling! (yes 5'6" is little)

In deciding what car to lease through her work she said "It's only $40 a week more for the XR6Turbo over the taxi-pak Falcon... why wouldn't you?"

Damn I'm glad I married that girl!

Bring on that new-car smell.... oh, and 240kw of course.

I have a grin on my face that you couldn't remove with a brick

[someonestolecc]

5'6" and loving turbos? how cute rawr

Sounds like a boost valve from ebay time heh heh

[pentae]

Nice

[paulr33]

4 litre 6 cylinder with a gt40 strapped on the side is nuts. mark 1 or 2? the 6 speed is very nice and runs awesome. stacks ot torque. its peak power its from 2000 to 4500rpm and makes more torque than the beefed up v8s

[Topaz]

yeah higher compression with the 6 vs 8 cyl and turbo charged

surely the turbos can be changed!, just head out and get a GT3540 (and some internals) wacked in there

[shonen]

PTR33.....you are one lucky bastard....I wish I can marry a woman that thinks the same way your wife does.........

[Munro]

You wont need internals or a bigger turbo - my XR6 turbo ute runs 11.9 @ 120 & none of that stuff has been touched!!! ( and the ute is heavier than the sedan too)

mmmm niceeeee!

i wish i had married that girl hahaha

[paulr33]

yeah niizpro did a made stage 3 or stage 4 kit that was like 800 odd kw at the flywheel. to crack some serious power i think all you need is to change the compressor housing as its a restricitive one to kinda hold back the turbo a little. you dont need internals or turbo change at all for good top power. changing it to a gt3540 would be silly. one awesome package i must say. go the aussies, nothing beats displacement. they did the rb30 turbo and the japs wanted it, and now theyve done the 4 litre turbo

[GTR R35]

Now once the car has 3,000+km on it go to your local XR6 Turbo tuning house and ask for one custom tuned edit box.

$1,600 later you will have a handheld box that can upload 250rwkw in 2 mins on a completly stock car.

I hope you get a good one, make sure you inspect it with a microscope and also test drive it before you accept delivery as the quality varies.

Was reading over the XR6 Turbo forum's and i think it's Rajab Racing Development's or HPF or it may have been a combined effort.

Anyhow they have just takin the title of fastest XR6 Turbo in the land with a 10.5 @ 131.5mph on the car's first ever meeting at the strip on street radials.

Didnt take them long.

if i was abit older i would be driving for sure one of ford cars, i'll stick to the skyline for now )

[turbohectics]

Get the muffler removed ,the one under the rear seat,you'lll feel the difference 20 kw i reckon .......$40 at an exhaust shop.Apparently ford put it in to curb it's power so it didn't have more power than the BOSS 5.4l. Also sounds beefier with muffler thing removed

[Guest Mashrock]

haha wait till you hear about what they did to the territory. a 2.2 ton car running 11.7

This was in 100% STREET DRIVEN TRIM road Tyre's pulp full exhaust including CAT the lot and as expected its 60 foot times were very good with a best of 1.72 sec

Vehicle has the following attributes:

- standard Stage 2 Cobra Kit coupled with an auto upgrade in the same fashion as the BA Falcons

- Garrett GT series turbocharger similar to the standard BA turbo with a slightly different turbine end.

- low compression pistons used are high silicon content cast alloy

- The radiator is a high capacity alloy unit that is twice as thick in core size to the standard Territory unit

- Conrods are the same as Cobra Stage 3 engine and are custom billet machined to Nizpro specs.

- fully blue printed and balanced engine

- transmission cooler

- twin stainless steel exhaust system with 100mm stainless steel turbo dump pipe and high flow 100mm catalytic converter

- 20 inch chrome alloy wheels with 275/40/20 Michelin tyres

- lowered the suspension 30mm.

- GT-T stripes with Turbo badges

- FPV instrument cluster

this is all taken off the xr6turbo forums.
