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 ;)

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

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 ;)

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.

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.

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

haha wait till you hear about what they did to the territory. a 2.2 ton car running 11.7

This was in 100% STREET DRIVEN TRIM road Tyre's pulp full exhaust including CAT the lot and as expected its 60 foot times were very good with a best of 1.72 sec

Vehicle has the following attributes:

- standard Stage 2 Cobra Kit coupled with an auto upgrade in the same fashion as the BA Falcons

- Garrett GT series turbocharger similar to the standard BA turbo with a slightly different turbine end.

- low compression pistons used are high silicon content cast alloy

- The radiator is a high capacity alloy unit that is twice as thick in core size to the standard Territory unit

- Conrods are the same as Cobra Stage 3 engine and are custom billet machined to Nizpro specs.

- fully blue printed and balanced engine

- transmission cooler

- twin stainless steel exhaust system with 100mm stainless steel turbo dump pipe and high flow 100mm catalytic converter

- 20 inch chrome alloy wheels with 275/40/20 Michelin tyres

- lowered the suspension 30mm.

- GT-T stripes with Turbo badges

- FPV instrument cluster

this is all taken off the xr6turbo forums.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
