Posted 22/03/05 12:07 AM Share Posted 22/03/05 12:07 AM Hi Brian,Everyone pretty much knows that when it comes to XR6T modifications, you and your car are the most extreme. We haven't had an update on your car for a while, although its common knowledge that you're building a monster.Any chance you could update us on the work in progress? Newbie modders and experienced modders alike could do well to pay attention to what Brian's up to and learn from his experience. It always makes interesting reading. Sorry for this post without notice mate.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 22y 1m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 22/03/05 03:35 AM Share Posted 22/03/05 03:35 AM Thanks Dave.2x2 weeks.I haven't seen the car for 5 months.I drive 3 other turbo cars during the week, otherwise I'd be screaming… I’m patient and see this as an R&D process.New Stage 5 Nizpro motor with forged crank, Nizpro cams, forged rods and pistons are in the car; new motor has been run in. Also 1000+ cc injectors; special coil packs, Motec with cam & other options (e.g traction control); Nizpro extractors; 3 fuel pumps; external wastegate; huge turbo; new Intercooler, 8000 rev tacho (fpv); whole inlet system upgraded to around 5” piping (except Nizpro plenum and throttle body). ... retain Mal Wood 6-speed & 4" exhaust.Early testing indicated around 500rwkw at just 1.1 bar (as a guide).Car will rev to 7500 revs.I will be able to control boost via a potentiometer attached to the MotecOutstanding:New triple plate Os Giken clutch yet to go, new mufflers, review of inlet system to check for bottlenecks, more tuning... see what breaks. ... tyres & new bonnet???Not sure about retaining 4.10 diff … will test the car first.I'll provide an update soon. Just don’t ask how much I’ve spent …. A ‘pretty penny’ is the response you’ll get.That’s it for now.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
