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...

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...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
