imagine throwing one of them engines into an xr6 and making it 4wd turbo.

that'd be a nice little project.

Niiiice idea! Almost an Aussie WRX equivalent (notice I DIDN'T say an Aussie GT-R eqiv'? The idea wouldn't equate to a Group A tourer...or could it?). Any takers?

245kW and 480Nm performance pack and a bonnet air inlet to signal the extra go.

It is available only as an all-wheel-drive, six-speed automatic.

a standard ford xr6t is around the 240kw mark anyway. would it be possible to use the drivetrain to make a standard xr6t 4wd?

if ford released an xr6t 4wd i'd buy one.

LoL

Got fuel bill?!

The Ford territory's are suprisngly good on fuel. 12.8 for the awd or 12.2 for the rwd.

No doubt being the turbo it will use slightly more but driven well it will return the same economy as its n/a version.

This has been proven to be true with the skylines and xrt fords so why should it be any different with the territory. :(

I can see myself building a pretty lame territory.

:( hehe..

So what the fuss about? a turbo tank is not a new thing.. Ever heard of a Nissan Patrol?? what a performance vehicle those are!! :(

Factory claimed 12L/100kms. tongue.gif

hehe.. I love the new average thing they have got going.. so if you do city driving expect about 16L/100km.. country, then maybe down to 10L/100km..

I think we all agree that claimed fuel usage is just that... claimed.. Actual will more often than not be much worse! However, as far as its direct competition goes, it should be a good package =)

Note: I'm NOT a Ford fan at all =D

The R32 RB20DET is claimed to have 10.5L/100km's. I used to achieve that with the stockish rb20det.

Even now after its been tuned, injectors replaced as the others were stuffed, o2 sensor replaced its now getting 10.6L/100km's with the rb30det.

Prior with the buggered injectors it was getting 13-14L/100km's towards the end.

The oldies V8 100series Landcruiser.. Rated at 16L/100km's, that gets 17L/100km's, and my old dear is a lead foot. She loves that toyo v8 growl. :(

I think the average is a fairly good indicator.

The Territory being only slightly heavier than the Falcon it shouldn't be much different, possibly highspeed cruise may due to aero thats about it.

The R32 RB20DET is claimed to have 10.5L/100km's. I used to achieve that with the stockish rb20det.

my R32 on its 2L did 15L/100km city driving.. about 11L/100km highway. Piece of crap 2L :( there was a massive difference between highway and city, and i drove it nearly all city.. as would your average Territory family car.

So I think the country driving averaging out the shitty city fuel economy is misleading..and it should be broken down as per the old days.

Around town my RB25DET will average 12-14L/100k's easily, not sure what it's claimed usage is. That to me seems about right for a car of it's weight and with a regular PSSHT =)

Woops, getting off topic =) Yeah Turbo Territory... Yet another over powered family car =\ I'm gonna need to mod my car up just to keep speed with traffic =\

I only ever drive mine locally... No open road.

15L per 100 is pretty damn bad.. To the usual 50litres thats around 330-340km's per tank.

Depending on how much I am stuck up it I get no lower than 410-430kays per 50litres. Thats a lot of spirited hills driving.

General driving to work/uni and back up to the oldies I get pretty much spot on 470km's per tank.

The rb20det was pretty much the same.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
