Just been reading in the papers and the car mags, and the new FORD BA XR6 Turbo is coming out 230 kw stock.

Its a 4.0 turbo six, and at 230kw stock i would say it has alot of potential being a 4.0 with a little mods exhuast and bit more boost probaly close to 300KW, so beleive it or not in about 4 months where going to be driving around and see fords, with FMIC, BOV's and even cop cars with TURBOS!

I guess there good and bad to this,

BAD- Fords are going to beating probaly alot of skylines GTS-T's

GOOD- Cops may not pick on us JAP turbo cars cause theres a aussie car with turbo and it will become normal! (maybe im just hoping 2 much)

Anyways Next year around feb , its going to be a interesting to see how this TURBO 4.0 SIX's to and how many get done up, i think it might be a new cult car since the WRX is not as pretty anymore.

What u guys think? FORD'S eating Skylines (since we mostly worry about commordores SS espicially now I think we going to be worrying about FORDS) ! !! and with FMIC and BOVS

and cop cars with turbo fords!

You obviously havent seen the NEW WRX which is due in the not to distant future. Front has been reworked to look muck like a cross between a B4 and an Evo 7, no more BUG eyes.

and yeah Cops in falcon turbos will be to high maintenance and cost to operate. I think they would lean more towards SS commodores in this case.

my 2cents

Yeah they're looking pretty damn good aren't they? I might have to pick one up when I'm all old.

I wouldn't worry too much about stock ones, though. The base model XT weighs almost 1800kg or something close (not sure of the XR6T weight) and they've only got 240kw in XR6T trim. Boost them up a bit and chuck a few bolt ons on and then we'll have something to worry about.

My friend has just been testing the new V8 Falcon soon to be released. He says it has good susp for a stock car, good brakes and a bucket load of grunt and grip thanks to traction control. Plus a few new features not released on previous fords.

Hes guessing its got about 280kw, he says its quicker than any other falcon including the turbo, but he only drove an early development of the turbo.

People who have jobs in the automotive industry shit me.

The xr6 turbo's will definately be able to run on normal unleaded, all that happens is the timing is retarded as soon as the knock sensor senses any funny business.

As for them making big power with just a few add ons, unless you deal with the over protective computer, you could actually go backwards. Thats why the aps/capa kits are so popular.

The other thing is they will be an absolute whore to get off the line on the street, with the amount of torque they have and the amount that they weigh, getting them up off the line will be a very tricky balance between disapearing in a cloud of wheelspin and bogging down.

i dont know if this has been posted before but does the new ford turbo 6 happen to be called the typhoon.

yup thats the new FPV version anyways. Gotta love that 550nm of torque :)

makes LS1's look weak

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
