The redcliffedyno Xr6t has done a mid 12, and that is about 450HP at the treads.

zanda, well i did take it all with a pinch of salt, so i did my research and here is what i found...

240kW at 5250rpm and 450Nm from 2000-4500rpm

6psi turbo pressure

so, its got a small turbo, producing reasonable power - but a long throw and a poor RPM ceiling as a result. But, to it's credit it makes full boost at low revs because of it's high engine capacity.

that is what its set to as the standard, and the compression ratio is 8.7:1.  Being a 4 L engine it has alot more potential. I just wonder what ford got out of it before it reached danger zone.

I disagree with this statement - and not because it's a ford, although I do think that's why it's happenned.

When commodore moved to a turbocharged engine for the VL - they did so through a negotiative bargaining agreement with nissan - because Nissan were familiar with the engineering behind turbocharged engines.

they made a n/a 6, a turbocharged smallish six, and a V8 holden for the clan who are committed to their big block pushrods.

however, ford recognised that in order to sell cars to the modern australian market, any performance vehicle larger than a 200sx has to have big cubes. this is both what will make the car a sales success and a performance failure.

big stroke = big buckling forces = bent rods.

capa  http://www.capa.com.au/xr6.htm has already released kits that boost it to 350kw and they are working on a 380kw which they think they can achieve no sweat. [/b]

so it doesnt make much more power than a semi-stock GTR? which will do high 12s?

I just dont think people realise how much faster a car has to be to do tens.....so they make up some horseshit about 10 seconds.... I can't see it happening.

I also heard from a ford guy that the trubo can be set as high as 32psi, but i still got to verify that.

I beleive that the ford turbo is a ceramic wheel - so I doubt it.

Hey you two, behave:D

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I'm sure the car can make alot of power, but it's a heavy phucker, which will limit it's 1/4times:D
