hey guys,

my dad just got a 03 xr6t and he wants to "soup" it up !! haha

he wants to know what he should do to it, i have no idea about fords or their engine, anyone know much? what is it capable of stock, what mods first, etc etc

cheers !

Flash tuner/edit

Turbo back exhaust

Injectors

Fuel pump

Upgrade the cooler

Upgrade the valve springs

It will make like 300rwkw + after the tune and above mods

Take it to NIZPRO or HPF and they will fk it right up for you

Even with just a generic flash tune/edit which is about $900 I think these days, will get it to about 248rwkw with everything dead stock

Then get Kewish to build you a strong gear box and you will have a tuff streeter doing like 11 - 12 second passes

oh and just for kicks upgrade to like a NIZPRO plenum and externally gate the standard manifold with a TURBOSMART progate

All the best :)

if you can get around the boost protection, boost it up a lil. or go all the way and get a flash tune for it.

garret 3540, decent exhaust, fmic, and bosch 040 fuel pump from standard.. so they have some decent potential.

check out www.fordxr6turbo.com as it's dedicated to the xr6t.

Nizpro or APS are 2 names that spring to mind from my Ford days...that was when the XR6T's were still fairly new and APS/Nizpro were doing CRAZY things with them (1000HP engine from Nizpro) so I'm sure there's plenty more tuners for them now...

dynomiye performance, those guys knows there shit..

his turbo ute, look under the bonnet and its dead stock, nothing touched, then when out for a cruze in it

no word of a lie, 100kms he put the power down and smoked calder freeway up like nothing..

tune zorst injectors, were the only mods..

Yeah, but what kind of soup?

Chicken or Pumpkin?

tune and an exhaust and these things make heaps of power! they come with a garret gt35 stock which can make huge power and the 4.0l has no problem winding it up. :) Ive seen multiple xr6t's on RE customs dyno pumping out over 350rw.

As far as FORD and Holdens go my vote is APS or even DYNOMOTIVE..I know the owners of Dynomotive personally and they know their shit when it comes to Ford's and Holdens (see Tim who works there's EF Falcon XR6T).. APS are good too.. I know for a fact the owner of that buys one of every high perfomance car that comes in order and use as a prototype for mods (within reason of course).. Ive seen a xr6t, a wrx sti, a lancer evo 6 and 7, a dodge viper, couple of holden utes and a few skylines in the owners garage (he owns a massive two storey joint and the first story is just a garage lol)

I also know Nizpro do good work they tuned my dads mates xr6t it was like 390kw atw or some crazy shit.. with full exhaust, fmic, bigger injectors, some sort of ecu (forget the name), bigger fuel pump and the whole rear end rebuilt so it had decent traction lol..i remember my old man telling me the car was a family car and had a hi-low boost setting that was passworded on it so when the guys wife drove it she couldnt hoon lol...

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
