Hey guys been lurking on the Forums for a while now, Thought I would make a thread since I'm actually going to upgrade my own car [emoji16] I have had 3 BA XR6T's, With this one being my best one, It's a 1 owner 70000km car and in manual! Extremely hard to find in New Zealand. First thing I did was replace those Altezza style lights for some BF ones, And swapped the cloth seats for some leather, Cannot stand the cloth seats! My end goal is 400kw, It's going to be a long build, So far I have ordered Plazmaman 1000hp cooler, Valve springs, Polished plenum, Cold side piping. I have also booked the car into a local fabrication shop here in NZ to have the first ever top / high mount turbo manifold made here in Godzone. It will be the first high mount XR6 in NZ as far as I'm aware, Will be running a 60ml external gate. I still need to look into importing a 6spd from Aus, as sadly it's a 5 [emoji18] Also need to carefully consider what I'm going to do about the BA internals, do I risk it and high power with stock rods, or pay someone to install forged ones. Or just let it blow up then install a FG Short block, Decisions decisions, Any comments or help on this is much appreciated. Engine bay as it sits now, Was allready flash tuned when I brought her, With a CAI, Exhaust and Typhoon cooler.
