Guys,

I know some of you were hoping to see me get a Stagea 260RS, but at the end of the day it was going to be too hard. I ordered today a new XR6 Turbo.:flamed:

I expect delivery mid to end April.

Due to insurance problems (no one had ever heard of one) and my finance company not interested, I have decided that I would get my second choice.

I hope you all understand, but I would still like to join the club as I think this falcoon wil drift nicely:wassup:

I hope you all understand

Mal

why be sorry? :cheers: nice choice...

i heard c&v's xr6t pulled a 10.9s with a APS phase 3 kit and slicks at drag combat today?

LoL, i was only today reading the amounts of trouble they are having with their XR6T's on the ford forums :) Most people were concerned with the paint imperfections. one blokes door only had primer on it - took it back to the dealer to get them to pay for it to be painted. The rest of the probs were only clunky diffs and stuff

Nice choice!! I can confirm that the c&v XR6T ran 10.9 yesterday. Could've gone quicker but they were ordered to back off or get kicked out. Best part of all, it was only an APS stage 2 kit (afaik) and the engine bay etc looked STOCK! There's no way a cop could defect you for it.

Ryan, It's an APS Phase 3 kit, without the APS top intake piping (for the more stock look, although the APS replacement part looks nearly dead stock too)

APS is actually working on a Phase 4 kit eek3.gif

So just to be clear, it's a stock XR6-Turbo with APS Phase 3 Kit and "modified" auto box.

Thanks for clearing that up Andrew :)

I didn't know much about it, just what I'd heard.

And benm, to further explain what Merli mentioned -- Cars that run below 10.99 seconds must meet ANDRA saftey requirements including a roll cage, etc etc. Both cars were full street cars with no rollcage and so forth, thus, they were told to back off and run slower than 10.99 seconds or they would no longer be allowed to race.

You big POOF!!!

Just kidding, at least one aussie car company has caught up with ten yo japaneese cars!

Massive potential from the standard 4 litre engine and big turbo!

Be sure to rice it up with jap parts!

Mind you the SUSpension will need some tweaking to even think about dorifto!

Dig the ricey blue instruments!

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I must say that the XR6T was my second choice, but I think I will still be very happy with it.

The only modding I am planning on doing is adjustable anti roll bars so I can get the drifto easier, I may also run a bleed valve for track days. I have been told that if I touch anything except for cosmetics I will void the warranty. The car has enough power for the daily driver I will mainly be using it for. I want to get into Aussie Legends for my racing fix :-)

When is the Next pizza night ?

Top choice 4DoorGTR, im envious to the back teeth!! Please post pics upon delivery!!

I know a bit about the XR6T and a bit about 2JZ engines (both large capacity straight sixes). After side-stepping the tough-to-crack black-box in Falcon is there as much modding potential for the Falcon as there is for the 2JZ?

From memory the quickest Supra in the country hasnt dipped into the 10s yet, and yet the XR6T has. Correct me if im wrong....

The attachment is what my XR6T would look like

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
