That might be where the phase 2 becaome a bit better value for money.Quoted from this thread: APS Power/Torque/Price numbers..we see the following Torque differences..Ford BA Falcon XR6 Turbo stock (unmodified):Maximum Power: 240kW @ 5250rpm Maximum rwkW: 175-215kW Maximum Torque: 450Nm @ 2000-4500rpm Total Price: $45,085Ford BA Falcon XR6 Turbo with APS Phase I:Maximum Power: 300kW @ 5200rpmMaximum rwkW: 230-250kW Maximum Torque: 535Nm @ 4000rpm Total Price: $47,681 = $45,085 + $2,596Ford BA Falcon XR6 Turbo with APS Phase II:Maximum Power: 330kW @ 5500rpm Maximum rwkW: 260-280kW Maximum Torque: 603Nm @ 4300rpmTotal Price: $50,876.60 = $45,085 + $5,791.50Summing this up:1. $2,596 (Phase I) will get you 60kW max power and 85Nm max torque.2. Another $3,195.50 (upgrading from Phase I to Phase II) will get you EXTRA 30kW and 68Nm max torque.** Note also, that at this Phase II level you may want to upgrade valve springs for $880, and if you have an SSS auto, upgrade your auto transmission for $800, plus add a transmission oil cooler for another $400. Just for further comparison:Ford BA Falcon XR6 Turbo with APS Phase III:Maximum Power: 390kW @ 5600rpmMaximum rwkW: 320-340kW Maximum Torque: 706Nm @ 4500rpm Total Price: $54,952.50 = $45,085 + $9,867.503. Another $4,076 (upgrading from Phase II to Phase III) will get you EXTRA 60kW and 103Nm max torque.In conclusion, on a marginal (the EXTRA paid or received) basis:APS Phase I:$2,596 / 60 = $43.27 per kW$2,596 / 85 = $30.54 per NmAPS Phase II:$3,195.50 / 30 = $106.52 per kW$3,195.50 / 68 = $46.99 per NmAPS Phase III:$4,076 / 60 = $67.93 per kW$4,076 / 103 = $39.57 per NmTo put these numbers in context, a stock (unmodified) XR6T:$45,085 / 240 = $187.85 per kW$45,085 / 450 = $100.19 per NmOr the F6 Typhoon, using a $56,000 estimated price:$56,000 / 270 = $207.41 per kW$56,000 / 550 = $101.82 per NmThese numbers indicate that APS kits are incredible "bang for buck" with the greatest marginal value in descending order coming from:1. Stock to Phase I.2. Phase II to Phase III.3. Phase I to Phase II.In conclusion, purely on power/torque/price numbers, Phase II seems to have the least "bang for buck" value, and may represent better marginal value if it is a transition choice to Phase III. Either that, or perhaps APS may one day find a way of "tweaking" up Phase II in a similar way that Phase I was "tweaked" so it offers a better marginal value...dare to dream!

I have been quoted approx $2200 for an upgrade which includes a modified stall converter, upgraded components in auto and trans cooler. Should be good up to PH3 spec (hopefully)Then there is the issue of upgrading brakes also..... add at least another $700 for decent front slotted rotors and pads.....Ph 2 plus extras $94 / kWPh 3 then only costs an additional $66/kW or total of $91/kW if going directly from stock.Playing with numbers in this fashion helps to convince me its all worth it. :lol: cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12218-phase-1-fitted/page/7/#findComment-155609 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR6_ED Member 1,517 Member For: 22y 1m 9d Posted 22/08/04 11:35 AM Author Share Posted 22/08/04 11:35 AM just a quick update with phase 1..engines and performance is all good,, ...t5 is hang'in in there....diffs ok,but has developed a leak on the axle tube to diff centre:pinch:.....clutch is slipping only sometimes at the moment, but I suspect it will get worse with time..looking at a few alternatives now to replace the inevitable...Even with phase 1 a clutch upgrade looks like a necessity than a possability....
