Holden are bloody lazy. I loved holden until ford released the XR6 Turbo. Thats when the respect came from. Holden UNTIL TODAY still hasnt created a rival turbo car to compete against the XR6T.

Rumour has the VE Commodore (replacement for the current VZ) will have the option of a twin turbo V6, similar to that used in the Torana concept car.

another huge ford fan here. not bad, although, i think ford, in the current automotive climate (ie, coupes, turbo's and drivability being issues ppl look at nowaday's rather than pure cubic inches), would do well to release a cutdown 2 door, based on the falcon chassis (just like the monaro from holden), with the 4L turbo 6, and awd.

did someone say Ford GTR? :)

I thought waaaaay back when they announced the Territory that by the time the BF update came around they would be making all wheel drive falcons. I am really suprised that they haven't done it. Even though the AWD system is Auto only, a 6 speed automatic AWD falcon with Turbo 6 or V8 power would be incredible. They should wack a blower on the V8 while they're at it too - it's just a matter of dipping into the Ford parts bin,

I think they took note of how badly the AWD Magna flopped.

Very similiar to the AU's ugly front end, they quickly changed that, what do Magna go and do.. Make model after model based on the same fugly headlights.

B)

I've always had a leaning towards Holdens but after the Ford Turbo range came out I converted :P

Btw, whats a better overall package in terms of power and handling?

Ford Typhoon or the Subaru Liberty GT?

Both are very yummy and if i had to get a family car it would be one of those.

If I had to buy a big sedan, I'd get an XR6T and do my own tweaks to it.

But then, if I was buying a sedan my priorities probably wouldn't be to get a very quick car, and I'd take the build quality, interior trim, and fuel efficiency of an Accord Euro or Liberty GT over the superior pace of a Falcon or Commodore.

absolutely! one of the best Australian built car on the market! a mate did chip, full exhaust, air and fmic to his xr6 turbo, bang! 296rwkw! all for $4.5k! beat that

I love to see intelligent open minded conversation on our forums

i think hes just trying to turn this thread into another potentially meaningless debate lucky this is not an holden or ford forum

    • Good points thanks. Unfortunately I can't seem to rename this or delete the topic. Seems like I'll ask the moderators to change it or delete it.
    • You might want to update the thread title.  V37 ≠ V36.  And it probably isn't a G37 unless it is 2012+ Ininiti or LHD.
    • Just a basic run down of the relevant bolt-ons. All e85 First graph 406.9whp is HKS GT-RS, HPI manifold, 3" bell mouth dump / 3" straight through fake cat / 3" all the way to the rear and no resonators, nismo 740cc, walbro 460, oem RB26 itb's, power fc, eboost2, Greddy Spec M fmic, poncams, Turbosmart actuator, splitfires, ARD 150amp alternator. Blue line is same as above but Blitz Dual SBC (before i upgraded to eboost2) and 100cell "high flow" cat. Red line is after installing eboost2 and the fake 3" cat (it's just a 3" pipe with a cat shell welded onto it). Huge gains in response, as can be seen. Black dots are a mates sr20 with almost identical setup but uses a garrett 2871 instead oh HKS. Next grapghn 466.6whp is same as above, but HKS 2835 Pro S with the larger .87ar turbine housing, the special HKS Pro S dump pipe into a HPI split dual 2.5" front pipe and the rest stayed as is. Red line is after I welded the actuator brackets. (It was originally bolted together and was moving a couple millimetres under load). Green line is obviously before I welded the bracket, no other changes. 100whp gain at 3750rpm, massive gain for such a simple fix. Third graph is my current setup, huge changes. 469.7whp R31house twin scroll manifold, twin TiAl 38mm gates, Forced Performance (USA) HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll rear housing, Link Fury+ and loom by 12volt, PRP trigger kit and r35 coil kit with r35 splitfire coils, HKS step 1 vct staggered cams, new oem lifters and performance springs, 49mm itb's w/port matched Nismo plenum, twin walbro 460 surge tank setup + 1650cc injectors, HKS Type R S13 600x300x103mm fmic, individual egt's, 4" turbo back with no resonators or cat and AES true straight through muffler + 4" butterfly off the dump pipe lower 90° bend. It's a preliminary tune with no boost control with using 20psi gate springs and 4" butterfly closed. Once body loom and PDM is compete, will go for 30psi tune.
    • Power light apparently functions as a transmission error light, you can try the power sequence to read any codes from the transmission control unit.
