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...

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 馃槢 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
