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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
