Cobra potty trained Lifetime Members 1,938 Member For: 22y 1m 4d Gender: Male Posted 13/05/03 08:51 AM Share Posted 13/05/03 08:51 AM (edited) APS have been busy ... check out Motor Mag :D 0-100 5.39 400m in 13.61 at 178.8km/hI'll have some of that Daga Edit: Taken from another post by mickq.(Old post deleted same topic). Quote Some basic details: Done by: Peter Luxton ABSUnit installed: UniChip Engine Control UnitInternal Engine changes: noneExternal changes via ECU: ignition advance curve, fuel injection map, turbo behaviourExternal hardware changes: High flow Catalytic converter (this is optional)Boost changes: Nothing below 3000rpm (to preserve the manual gearbox). At 3500 boost ups to 9PSI (from 6 standard). Tails off to 7PSI at 5500rpm (vs 5psi standard)Igntion changes: Allows 8 or 9 degrees extra advanceRolling dyno tests (all done on same dyno):Standard XR6T: claimed: 240kW (at the crank no doubt)Rear wheel: 195kWStandard XR8:claimed: 260kW (at the crank no doubt)Rear wheel: 180kW (!!)Standard HSV GTS:Claimed: 300kWRear wheel: 240kWModified XR6T (as above):Claimed: 295kWRear wheel: 235kWDamn impressive, and it only costs $1590 fitted!!! Extra $600-700 for the optional high flow cat.Makes that $500 blow off valve someone installed seem a little rich, considering with the extra boost from this kit you also get a bigger pop-off sound as well as much more power!0-100 times: 5.39sec0-400m (1/4 mile): 13.61@178.8kmhNow imagine changing the cams, the intercooler and air box, a high flow exhaust all the way to the back, bigger injectors, winding up the turbo to proper levels of boost, and whacking in the XR8's manual gearbox?! It would HAMMER. And then its time to do it all again with a bigger turbo!Woohoo!For the full drive report, go buy June edition of Motor Magazine.

Guest StaggerLee Guests Posted 13/05/03 01:17 PM Share Posted 13/05/03 01:17 PM BLKXRT,They're good figures. Is there any mention of the price for the APS modification? I assume it 280kw upgrade, but there's no mention of the price on the APS website.

F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 22y 4m 22d Location: North Brisbane Posted 14/05/03 12:02 AM Share Posted 14/05/03 12:02 AM Very interesting (and exciting) article.All they have done is a cat converter and the unichip. Peak boost is now 9si at 3500 rpm and trails down to around 7psi at 5500rpm.Boost unaffected until 3000rpm for gearbox longevity.I believe that this is still only available in Melbourne at this stage - you lucky b^&S**%!!!!!!!!

Cobra potty trained Lifetime Members 1,938 Member For: 22y 1m 4d Gender: Male Posted 14/05/03 01:23 AM Author Share Posted 14/05/03 01:23 AM about $2.5k will get you cats and chip ... 295fwkw ...... for all intensive purposes ... that is a real cheap modification :Das per Ford specs 240fwkw to 295fwkw for $2500so that makes it about less than $45 per fwkwnow ... if we look at [holden] ... 260kw of the R8 to 300kw of the GTS say about $25000 in real terms for the extra 40kw ... about $625 per kwnow ... if we look at "FORD" the GT has 50kw more (manu's spec's) than the XRT and in real terms for $25000 more .... about $500 per kwis anyone following this ??? :lol: so one could save $20000 in real terms in the FORD market ...a tremec t56 or tko or similar tranny upgrade will set you back about $7000-$8000 and the factory diff will take it ... worst senario ... XRT say $45k plus chip etc $2.5k plus if tranny goes $8k .. standing quarter in 13.6s for $55.5k .... that's alot of car ...... I'm booked in !!
