So my r32 gts-t with rb25det got written off last year, got $10k from insurance somehow so I went to the dark side and bought a 2008 BF XR6T for $12.5k, anyway $5k later and it's making this power! This is K.P.Ms "flywheel figure" the real rwkw is about 320rwkw but this shows the curve. 380rwkw is doable on E85 and more boost.

FMIC, 1000cc ID, clutch, fuel pump, 4" dump & cat, custom tune, stock twin 2.25 from cat back, 265x18 rims

It is laggier response wise than the 25det with a 260kw highflow due to the GT35 being pretty big from the factory however full boost and torque at 3k rpm cannot be beat. Sounds awesome and it will make this power on the stock turbo and motor all day long with 200,000 kms on it.

So yeah, if you are thinking about going to the dark side let me tell you it is absolutely worth it for bang for buck! Also having all the creature comforts of a car that is 17 years newer really is nice, electric seats, leather, ABS, airbags, massive interior, cops don't look at it twice either! Around the hills it handles the same as my GTS-T, obviously one the track it isn't going to be as good due to having almost 400kg on the 32.

"flywheel kilowatts". Why not print it out in HP, then it will seem even bigger. Estimating "flywheel kilowatts" is like measuring your dick at 4" and estimating it up to 6" based on losing a bit between your nuts and your arsehole.

If it was actually on an engine dyno and MEASURED, then that's different.

Having taken the time to bag you though, XR6T is a decent package and easy to make power from given they're only running 4psi standard. I'm glad you're happy with it. But it's a red flag to a bull posting that sort of thing around here :)

I do like trolling. Forged internals, 4L and GT35 from the factory makes for about the best value motor you can get. It'll pass a roadworthy inspection every time, I also am far less likely to die when I put it into a tree due to the ABS, airbags and much higher safety rating.

ABS wont help you after you have hit a tree

Might help me avoid hitting it though! I tested it out in the wet and it works a treat with the DSC, can stomp on the brakes whilst turning hard and not only will it not lock up, it will still steer fine as well, 4 wheel braking is pretty cool.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
