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

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
