PTR33 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 What a little darling! (yes 5'6" is little) In deciding what car to lease through her work she said "It's only $40 a week more for the XR6Turbo over the taxi-pak Falcon... why wouldn't you?" Damn I'm glad I married that girl! Bring on that new-car smell.... oh, and 240kw of course. I have a grin on my face that you couldn't remove with a brick Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/80555-wifes-new-car-xr6-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulr33 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 4 litre 6 cylinder with a gt40 strapped on the side is nuts. mark 1 or 2? the 6 speed is very nice and runs awesome. stacks ot torque. its peak power its from 2000 to 4500rpm and makes more torque than the beefed up v8s Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/80555-wifes-new-car-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1464616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 yeah higher compression with the 6 vs 8 cyl and turbo charged surely the turbos can be changed!, just head out and get a GT3540 (and some internals) wacked in there Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/80555-wifes-new-car-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1464634 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munro Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 You wont need internals or a bigger turbo - my XR6 turbo ute runs 11.9 @ 120 & none of that stuff has been touched!!!

paulr33 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 yeah niizpro did a made stage 3 or stage 4 kit that was like 800 odd kw at the flywheel. to crack some serious power i think all you need is to change the compressor housing as its a restricitive one to kinda hold back the turbo a little. you dont need internals or turbo change at all for good top power. changing it to a gt3540 would be silly. one awesome package i must say. go the aussies, nothing beats displacement. they did the rb30 turbo and the japs wanted it, and now theyve done the 4 litre turbo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/80555-wifes-new-car-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1464821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTR R35 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Now once the car has 3,000+km on it go to your local XR6 Turbo tuning house and ask for one custom tuned edit box. $1,600 later you will have a handheld box that can upload 250rwkw in 2 mins on a completly stock car. I hope you get a good one, make sure you inspect it with a microscope and also test drive it before you accept delivery as the quality varies.

DeSiReD Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Was reading over the XR6 Turbo forum's and i think it's Rajab Racing Development's or HPF or it may have been a combined effort. Anyhow they have just takin the title of fastest XR6 Turbo in the land with a 10.5 @ 131.5mph on the car's first ever meeting at the strip on street radials. Didnt take them long.

turbohectics Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Get the muffler removed ,the one under the rear seat,you'lll feel the difference 20 kw i reckon .......$40 at an exhaust shop.Apparently ford put it in to curb it's power so it didn't have more power than the BOSS 5.4l. Also sounds beefier with muffler thing removed Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/80555-wifes-new-car-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1464977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
