phantomchic Just because it is, doesn't mean it should be..... Lifetime Members 14,092 Member For: 20y 5m 8d Gender: Female Location: Noosa QLD Posted 17/02/06 03:02 PM Share Posted 17/02/06 03:02 PM I guess it all depends on how far you want to go with it... there's plenty you could do without a turbo but what sorta gains do you want? What sorta money do you want to spend?I would look at exhaust for a better sound and slightly better flow, an edit for the tuning ability... where it ends is up to you <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Nah, just bit by bit. prob between 2-3K.I'm in Melbourne, not Brisbane.....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>oops well in that case some fellow mexicans will help .....

xr6 Member 96 Member For: 20y 1m 23d Posted 17/02/06 05:29 PM Share Posted 17/02/06 05:29 PM Hey guys,I'm new to this site, and have just bought my first brand new car, the BF XR6 (non-turbo) and want to add a bit of extra grunt to it without going crazy.Was thnking a cold air intake, but are there any other options out there that will give me the best bang for bucks??Any and all replies are greatly appreciated.Thanks heaps,Nick<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Do you have the 6 speed auto? Your thoughts?I have a BA XR6 (company car, leased, can't mod apart from edit ) I've thought about getting an edit done but not sure if it's worth it on a NA. Anyone know of any good tuners in Auckland or Hamilton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till you pull up next to a T at a set of lights....... Then you will need a prozac dispenser on the dashboard......Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeediot.................................If you have a spare 1000 bucks, go get a brain transplant, therapy or at least a kilo of valium....EEEEEEEEEEddddiout............<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah, but my pen*s is big enough already. I'm not after a rocket, just a family car with a bit of style. Got a wife and a 6 month old, so don't need to have the fastest/best car around. Sorry if my question was silly, as I said I'm new to this forum. Thanks for the insult.Nick <{POST_SNAPBACK}>You dont have to explain why you bought the car you bought, if you get SS Inductions kit, and a good exhaust that will help, theres a guy around town with a 215 sticker on his boot and I think that's all he did, may have got a hi flow filter as well, just depends on how much you want to pay for an exhaust.

I had a NA BA XR6 Blueprint before my current car. I really liked it. Comfortable and roomy, and had the looks that turned heads (especially mine )Don't remember reading if yours was auto or not. If it was auto, I quite liked the 4 speed auto. I run a 6 speed auto now but from my point of view, both are excellent. I believe the 4 speed auto in the BF is tweaked further to enhance performance compared with the BA 4 speed auto.Anyway, have an enjoyable time surfing this forum. I do. All the best.

HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 3m 16d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 18/02/06 03:16 PM Share Posted 18/02/06 03:16 PM Sorry for not replying earlier.LOL, was about to PM but the phantomchic's been a busy gal by the looks of things...lol. Been going down a trip to memory lane reading those ancient threads, thanx Shaz.Mate the kit I had on "GIMLI" was great. The car was not tuned to the point that excessive strain would be placed on the internals. All levels were tuned comfortably but that's what I wanted as it was still my 'day to day' vehicle.Not in BNE? No prob. Extractors, 2.5" Zorst, EDIT, Haltech Interceptor, UNICHIP...etc, K&N, BMC or what ever CAI solution you want to do and that's it. Do not really need to do the 2nd CAI but even in the NA, I noticed more punch. Easily under $3000. Result: a 220+KWFW XR6. Easily achieved. Just get a good and reliable tuner.Good luck with it all mate and to be honest, I still do miss that car, it was great. A hell of a lot of fun and one hell of a monster off the mark, man it had punch. Steve (RDP) really did do a great job on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thanks Muzza,Is the Edit the best way to go, or are there other options up to $3K-ishNick<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Seriously, you should have spent the $3k towards the turbo; would have given you more power and torque than what $3k will do to a NA XR6. Don't spend your money trying to make it go faster.I'd be more inclined to spend the $3k towards suspension to make it a great touring vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
