You need a close up pic of the custom throttle body adaptor that you made, it's really neat!

Here's one I prepared earlier !!! :Welcome2FordXR6t:

Cheers

Robin.

Very nice mate! :laughing:

Question - is that 3 inch piping?

I am going to do the same to my Nizpro kit - open the mouths of the interooler up to 3 inch and change all the piping to 3 inch in prep for future mods.

That's looking and going great Robin, it's great to see you customising it the way you are. You and the team at Nizpro have spent a lot of time and effort (We won't mention the dollars :laughing: ) on your car and it is far from a standard xr6 turbo so you are making it stand out from the crowd and quite rightly so too.

Since my turbo and engine woes I am now running the same turbo setup as you and my engine will be finished next week. Together with the rest of my APS hardware and a modded plenum your set up is closer to mine than most so I am watching your progress with interest.

Good luck (I know luck has very little to do with a build like that) and keep up the good work.

I was priviliged to see it in the flesh (on the dyno also) in Melb. It was one of the many highlights on the trip. The bodywork is fantastic. Absolutely Awesome car. :laughing:

I saw this car 2 weeks ago.

I would rate this as the best Ford BA turbo that I've seen, given the various custom mods that Robin has performed, including it being one of the most powerful in the country.

All the changes have been functional, and continuous improvement nature, all well researched.

For example, the first brake upgrade was not good enough, so the next upgrade was to 6-pot Brembos. The first upgraded set of wheels were not up to par, so on went another set. The suspension has been carefully upgraded, so that it is a match to the stopping and braking capability of the car.

The body kit is excellent, including the vents, which work well, and the little cobra's on the front and rear are a great touch. I looked very closely at the front and side vents, they are a professional job.

What really sets this upgrade apart from everyone else (myself included), is that Robin has not just handed the car over to a workshop to have an upgrade, the Nizpro upgrade was just the first step, then Robin himself has added all the various touches that now make it a unique vehicle.

Well done Robin.

Brian
