Ive got one! For about 2 more weeks :rolleyes:. I think the XR6 would get up...but as always it would depend on the driver. On the entry to a freeway once from a set of lights I was slightly in front but I had my best launch ever! and it was only to 100 maybe that extra power would start to tell once the speeds got up

Not even comparable. Straight line times the XR6 turbo would destroy a bog stock R33. There engines have so much more 1/4 mile potential as well as power is dead easy to pull out of them. As a track car it is a different story all together...

here is a link to stock vs stock 0-100km and 0-400m. Not a lot in it really at the end of the day if they are both manual the better driver will win. That said I have driven both in manual form and the Skyline to me was a much nicer car to drive. Lighter and smoother clutch and gear box. You can really fell the weight of the XR6 when cornering to.

cheers

A quote from that dude that owns the XR6T.

"Heya all i know this is an ls1 forum but a few people on here know me so i thought id let them know where im at now

Picked my car up from HPF today after having the engine rebuilt it makes 330rwkw at 3000rpm and max power 391.5rwkw with the factory turbo running out of puff looks like time for a bigger turbo

But what is impressive is the tourqe 12000N of tractive effort on the dyno which even HPF were amazed at

The car has a c9 3 speed fully manual shift auto in it now and in top gear at 100kph you can floor it and light up the tyres all you want

Hopefully is the rain holds out i will make it to calder tomorrow night now i got to get the power to the track"

330rwkw at 3000rpm.. Thats flamin awesome.

I've said before and I'll say it again..

There's no replacement for displacement. :O

Had a couple of run in's with XR6T's.. problem is they have all the power from the second they put the pedal down..

while I have to wait till 2nd gear to really start the power coming on.. my cars stock except cat back exhaust.. by which stage i'm doing 80/100 in a 60 zone.. not good..

maybe with the 8psi full time mod it'd be different.. will endevaur to g-up someone next time I see one..

:O

I would have guessed the xr6t. power to weight it has it, and then it also has a fair slog of bottom end grunt from the extra 1.5 litres or so. I still think it says a whole bunch for an up to 12 year old 2.5 litre car that it can more or less keep up with the new meat. .3 of a sec is bugger all!

How do you know there cars are stock? Lots of XR's going around with just the EDIT which gives them about 20-40rwkw more.

Who would win this drag race?

Both manuals, both bone stock.

I have only race 1 XR6T and it was auto;

Background info on my skyline its r33 but has rb20 size turbo (i was making 170rwhp at the time i race the XR6T)

It was equal untill i change gear, his was auto had a smoother change and pull ahead by abit, i think stop cuz gf gave me an eye look.

So basic 0-60km it was equal with my 170rwhp

i'd say 80 - 90% of them are stock that you see on the roads..

most people wouldn't void a warranty on a new car that's already pretty quick as it is..

    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
