Hey guys, so I'm considering to purchase a FG Ford Falcon XR6 here in the Fiji Islands. It's one of very few and I'm trying to strike a good deal on it.
I'ts the NA Barra, and from what I've heard even the NA ones are fairly strong plus there are a few converted examples on the internet.
My question is, how good of an idea is it turbocharge the NA motor. I do understand the work that goes into it. But my issue is power and reliability.
Here in Fiji we only have one grade of fuel and that's 95octane, and I know of a few XR6 Turbos that run fine here but they're all factory XR6 Turbos. I understand that the NA engine has a higher compression ratio with different pistons, Will I still be able to make XR6 Turbo levels of power (or more) safely with it's current compression ratio?
And does anyone have any tips or real world experiences they could share with me?
Thanks
