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

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
