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

so, its got a small turbo, producing reasonable power - but a long throw and a poor RPM ceiling as a result. But, to it's credit it makes full boost at low revs because of it's high engine capacity.

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.

I disagree with this statement - and not because it's a ford, although I do think that's why it's happenned.

When commodore moved to a turbocharged engine for the VL - they did so through a negotiative bargaining agreement with nissan - because Nissan were familiar with the engineering behind turbocharged engines.

they made a n/a 6, a turbocharged smallish six, and a V8 holden for the clan who are committed to their big block pushrods.

however, ford recognised that in order to sell cars to the modern australian market, any performance vehicle larger than a 200sx has to have big cubes. this is both what will make the car a sales success and a performance failure.

big stroke = big buckling forces = bent rods.

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. [/b]

so it doesnt make much more power than a semi-stock GTR? which will do high 12s?

I just dont think people realise how much faster a car has to be to do tens.....so they make up some horseshit about 10 seconds.... I can't see it happening.

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

I beleive that the ford turbo is a ceramic wheel - so I doubt it.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
