Anyone recommend someone located in Sydney that could diagnose and fix an issue like OP on the cheaper side. I understand the whole dash may need to come out.

Thanks will take that in consideration. Probably a good idea.

You really think this is likely to occur? I have seen quite a few people reach more then that on the stock engine for BA and last quite a while.

Yea I was told about the limitations of the BA motor. Which is why im limiting myself to pushing to 300kw at this stage. I would look at strengthen the motor eventually if I wanted to push for more. Appreciate everyone's suggestions, il talk with the shop more about whether I really need the BTR built as its quite a chunk of the total cost and if its really not that needed and be ok with just an external cooler. Il pop in a guage as well to monitor the temps to hopefully avoid popping the box.

Thanks will look at that. I'm planning to push the car to 300kw, is there anything that might be more common to worry about after pushing power at that level?

Hey all, For context the car is at about 138,000km Looking for a rough guide that people are using of when things should/will need replacement or checked. Just trying to get an idea for myself. I'm in the works of creating a spreadsheet for myself so moving forward I can watch things closely.

They actually recommended I get a built BTR gear box tbh and when you mention upgrade to something else. Do you mean like to a ZF transmission or manual gear box conversion?

Thanks for that. There is this apparently supports under 500hp which 300rwkw is. https://www.tiperformance.com.au/products/walbro-255lph-fuel-pump-kit-gss341/ for BA. If that's the case for the BOV will probably stick with factory one. It's not going to decrease the performance on the dyno, will it having stock?

I know the BA motor unless built isn't really going to last past 300-320kw I have read. Unless I'm not Intouch with the reliability of that motor and things have changed. Which Is kinda preventing me from wanting to try and push past that mark even if the car does move past that. I don't really want to be taking that risk since dailying this thing. I'm going to see how I like the 300kw mark and if I want to go further and get the engine built out, the extra stuff will just be less I need in the future if I want to push for even more power. I guess also useless to some degree as well if I'm not maximising its use. But regardless, you think that the pump gears arn't needed? (it does knock the total price down a little bit) And the stock BOV can handle? The "turbo side intake and battery relocation" was like you said because looks better but also the turbo fluttering noise, unsure if I'm un-knowledged or not but the sound the BOV aftermarket makes isn't really that great personally. So I guess if I don't need it and will recirculate anyways ill leave it. How would I know if the fuel pump would need a different reg? Is that something il find out on the dyno or just need to research? Sorry, don't mean to bomb bard you with this all.

Hey all, I have a 04 Ba Xr6T (with BTR gearbox). Looking at getting up to 300rwkw. Car is currently stock as a rock, but after researching for a while I have come up with a list of things im gonna need to support reaching that mark but without sacrificing the reliability to much. As this is my daily I'm not looking for cheap power but also not wanting to spend loads. If things need to bought then I will but trying to avoid to much. Here is my list, let me know your thoughts. Venom Turbo back exhaust system (4" downpipe -> dual 2.5Inch system). PWR Trans Oil Cooler Kit - With trans guage to monitor temps. Demon Pro Parts XR6 Oil Catch Can. 4″ Turbo Side Intake & Passenger Tray Battery relocation suit XR6 Turbo. Plazmaman BA/BF BAR & PLATE 650HP CROSSOVER INTERCOOLER KIT. Turbosmart 25mm kompact duel port bov. Walbro 460 460LPH Fuel Pump. 1000cc BOSCH Fuel injectors x 6. Crow Cams valve springs. Barra Billet 4340 Oil Pump Gears. Internal Wastegate Actuator. Built BTR Transmission to support. Other mods outside of engine to support the body is not listed here. Thanks.
