Just a short video of some guy driving his Ford XR6T up a hill, sounds similar to a skyline in my opinion but maybe its just that BOV hehe.

They are using the same engine setup so its not far off I guess.

[r32-25t]

i recon they sound more like a supra

Most of the straight-6 single turbos have a similar sound.

They are different, but you can pick similarities

I was thinking the same thing...

But then I remembered that the thing weighs 1700kg...

Taking the weight into account, that thing would be about 230kw odd (at 1400kg)...

[LTHLRB]

not really, a mate of mine has a 280+kw xr6t auto, and that thing is a wild bull on the road

iv also driven a 280+ kw xr6t and was a bit scary to drive considering all the torque and losing traction at over 130km/h

that there would be TOPS 230 240kw at the wheels.

but like i said, it doesnt move

[dead32]

goes like a stocker with a bov i reakon his rwkw is made up, my mates car on 10psi makes 330rwkw, now thats hang the f**k on time.

[LTHLRB]

even 10psi with 330kw is bullshit.. you need AT LEAST 16 17 psi to make over 300kw

[dead32]

hmm maybe im wroung with the psi but its deff 330, bigger injectors,fuel pump, external gate, valve springs 4inch exhaust and a tune. 330 rwkw. oh and upgraded clutch. just did its first diff and drive shaft. snapped both lol. thing mooves

[LTHLRB]

im a mechanic at ford, their diffs and driveshafts are crap as... but yeah his psi would haveto be over 15psi.. they do move once tuned dont get me wrong

[Modena]

Yeah it sounds like my car...

[SECURITY]

i get nervous when i see a xr of any kind. makes me think of highway patrol.

[Dean_HR31]

The BA XR6T is going to be exactly like every other habib spec VL in 5 years time when more P Platers can afford to

buy them..

You will begin to see them with drop tanks, venecian blinds & car bra's..

20's bro 20's..

Yeah, I was assuming obviously that the guy wasnt full of shit about the amount of power the thing has got. you've gotta remember that the in car video makes it appear much slower than it really is too.

[mad082]

my sister-ini-laws boyfriend is running 12psi through his and is getting 223kw on a base tune. that is with stock exhaust though.

a mate is making about 310kw at 15psi on stock turbo, but he has had a rebuild. before he got the 3 speed gearbox put in if he punched it at 120kmh, when it dropped back to 3rd gear the traction control would kick in.

as for the chirping between gears, that also depends on what tyres he is running. if he is running a good set of 265s on the rear then they are going to be a bit harder to spin than a crappy set of 235s.

[Dantay]

for all its floors, its still a nice set of wheels haha

[Primordial]

I'm guessing you meant "flaws"?

Yeah they are a nice car.. I'm gonna buy one when I finally grow up and need a family car. Until then though, they're still a tad too heavy for my liking.

[TTT]

I didn't hear a bov..

and I know you didn't hear one either..

Do I have to explain it yet again?

[Primordial]

Hey GTST - I want my car to flutter like that, which blow off valve should I buy?

.......... kidding!

[R-PWR]

Crap cars they handle like a boat and the weight distubution is crap.
