well nizy i reckons it wont be nice if it happen that the only place he finds you is on the rear view mirror, i dont care what it is, but i sure dont like being in his rear view mirror. I did some research after i heard this, and their are alot of independent guys out their that say, the xr6t has been under powered before release, while when ford tested it, they did out puts of upto 800kw. Now that is heaps for a ford

that would be a very exceptional XR6T.

Like VERY exceptional. I think he is probably yanking your chain.

the xr6t is not a particularly easy car to make really fast - because it has such a large displacement. to produce that sort of time, you're looking at 800+ ps, which would require a big turbo and some serious internal work.

the catch is, that because he throw is so long for each cylinder, he'd struggle to find rods that would put up with the sort of hammering that a high outpurt turbo would put an engine under at very high boost.

so, I call b/s on the 10 second XR6T.

Nobel what i dont understand is if your flying the flag for Ford so high .... then get dad to buy you one :P ..... we are really trying to care .... but as this is a Nissans forum we really dont give a phuck.

i know my car aint the fastest on the planet .... but it still kicks enough male butt that im more than happy :) not too mention its a Nissan!

i just dont get some people! What does he want us to do .... "a friend of a friend who knows some guy at the other side of the country may have a 10sec XR6T" ...... so? want us to worship the ground you walk on ..... or sell all our cars for Fords now :P ... you are trying to achieve what??

zanda, well i did take it all with a pinch of salt, so i did my research and here is what i found...

240kW at 5250rpm and 450Nm from 2000-4500rpm

6psi turbo pressure

that is what its set to as the standard, and the compression ratio is 8.7:1. Being a 4 L engine it has alot more potential. I just wonder what ford got out of it before it reached danger zone.

capa http://www.capa.com.au/xr6.htm has already released kits that boost it to 350kw and they are working on a 380kw which they think they can achieve no sweat.

I also heard from a ford guy that the trubo can be set as high as 32psi, but i still got to verify that.

There is alot of work happening on it, heaps of people in the east are trying things out on it.

I am just waiting to see if those numbers are true.

I was just sharing some news i heard, after all this is a car forum, and the filter doesnt seem to be set to pick out holden and ford and Maybe you have missed it all this time.

NO I DONT SUPPORT FORD, to me they just stupidly designed, the fools add weight then they think, oh shit its laggin so more fuel ahh thats better.

I hope that settles your misery nizmo, i suggest you look into something more entertaining if this bores you so much.

Gad daaaaaaaiyum some people

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
