Very impressive.I'd like to see the boost curve, to assess if the extra torque sub 2500 revs is due to the cam timing change, or if it is genuinely bringing in boost earlier.Given that the turbo is probably the same spec, and that the inlet plumbing appears to be the same as mk1, my bet is it's in the cam timing.Given that torque, it should be great to drive, for those of us that like manuals.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive and notice there is no point in reving it hard with its current setup and it drops the torque of quite fast past 4500RPM.With some "edit" I'm sure this could be wound right out .

One inlet each side, 1.8 metres less intercooler tubes, same turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see a REAL dyno graph. Because I know my Turbo's torque curve is quite different to what Ford shows it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Member 378 Member For: 20y 11m 11d Posted 11/12/04 01:10 AM Share Posted 11/12/04 01:10 AM Geeseman, thanks for that. There are stock auto T's with higher maximum rwkW than this manual F6! The tractive effort is far worse than an APS modded T! :o As evidenced by other dyno charts, the Torque of an APS modded T starts higher, stays longer and would result in an even bigger real life "Whoosh factor" than the F6! Congratulations Ford/FPV!...you have successfully achieved your objective of "dumbing down" the F6 so much that you may not lose an extra 3 GT/GT-P sales per month for the next financial year due to internal product cannibalisation! Darn shame you will lose more than 3 F6 sales per month because of how "dumbed down" the car is, not to mention the humiliation of being dropped out of Motor PCOTY due to clutch problems!
