Macka, I haven't read the whole thread. I think I recall that only the Turbo or XR8/FPV cars have a limited slip diff. You might need to consider this when choosing which car to use as your platform.

dynowog... lawsy... just agree to disagree and ignore each other... :\

dw.... already had mate, ive no probs with him and I even have apologised on another thread if he was offended, look as he was following my threads and then posting I felt that unfortunatly it was the only way to stop him and for this I appologise to all that it has affected!

I find this idea very interesting just from a spectator point of view so please don't bury this topic in trash.

dw....yes it is and I hope that I can still offer info

I would also think that if you were going to charge an XT or the like you could really go for a much cheaper 2nd hand one... I mean only grandma's and grandpa's drive those cars so they wouldn't be raped like... well not mine :D

Craig,

I wonder what has happened to Boof!!!

Could use his diff and Auto. :lol:

Dynowog and Lawsy just call a trusse and forget about it. I still plan do it, so if you have constructive ideas I will gladly listen to them and take them on board.

I think the SR would be a good option especially with those interior options.

Well, turbos lag. Chargers don't.

Nothing more needs to be said.

Go hard, keep us updated, check your pm's

When you look at what you get for your $$ the extra $5K for the XR6T is worth it if you want a good bit more power. If you have a NA then just sell it and buy the T.

Ford looked at both turbo and supercharger and chose turbo for good reason. Its a great setup and being a 4L engine with VVT + BB turbo lag is minimal - this can be reduced further with one of the stage 1 or 2 kits.

For the people who chose NA for cost reasons and dont want to sell their car JMM do a upgrade kit that makes about 230kw from the BA 4.0 engine. This kit costs under $3K and of course since its not making huge amounts of torque your not going to have as much driveline and slippery diff issues They are working on a kit that has even more power.

Want to do something *different* ? - why not have the best of both worlds and develop a twincharger kit that uses a positive displacement S/C and the factory turbo! that way you have that instant throttle response and the turbo top end. You also have the LSD, traction control, factory I/C, lower C/R engine and whatever else Ford changed on the XR6T.

Way to much piping involved to use both methods. Its cheaper and more efficient to just fiddle with the ratios and compressor types to get the desired result, rather than spending up on both...

[ms700]

Worried about the diff?

Supercharge a RTV, factory locker! :lol:

Already own a T and modded it. :lol: and I love it.

I like to be different that's why I made a CAI intake using the Shaker.

That's why I want to S/C a N/A motor. Its been done already by some people. I want mine to actually work just not spend $7000 on some else's kit that does'nt.

It will be a challenge, which I look forward to.

Very interesting concept ...........

[Guest]

having a think tonight ?

do you realy want to go s/c

can you be swayed to listen at some interesting points

if so and I dont want to get into a debate with any one here just a suggestion for you macka

any way here goe's:

epa and cops know a s/c aint std and you will need an epa approval if you get pinched

a turbo utilizing a factory turbo and etc on the other hand is more stealth in that it comes out from ford it can pass a if it were there from day 1 (road side warriors wont know) so less hastles etc.

cost for s/c kit will be similar to turbo kit as I can tell if both done properly

ease of fitment it almost all bolts up factory? even the shacker kit?

check out posible specs:

shacker to 700hp roller turbo(factory) throgh factory hose to fmic & then on to the factory plenum

exhaust side std manifold through turbo to custom dump and exhaust

then all this can be controlled by ecu option of choice it seem you have a knack of pricing things so it can't be bad can it?
