Process West Member 248 Member For: 18y 6m 11d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong NSW Posted 30/06/07 11:06 AM Share Posted 30/06/07 11:06 AM (edited) Im currently looking for a product development vehicle for Process West. What Im really after is an auto BF Tornado. Today I went to the local Ford dealer and in the showroom was this. BA MK2 Typhoon manual. 19in BBS wheels, 12k klms and has aftemarket springs/struts/sway bars. This car really caught my eye...it looks so good....but I really want the ZF 6 speed. I almost bought the car on impulse but decided to think about it for a day or two.What are the differences between the BA/BF in the Typhoon.Kev Edited 30/06/07 11:09 AM by Process West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the BF have two Oxygen sensors? (BA only has one) I also understood that the BF had a different dump pipe and cat, although not sure about this? The BF also has different cams I think - something to do with EURO3 compliance for emmissions.On top of all that if you average the bog standard rwkw figures off the forum here I think you will find tha the BA's were putting out around 225rwkw (235 tops) while the BF's Ive read about were higher by between 15 ans 25rwkw. I think I've heard of one that was about 252rwkw (yeah yeah I know about the inherant differences in dynos etc. - but on average they have been reported as higher - right?) Some people have said this was done to make sure the F6 remained competitive with the 'dark side' cars?I also have heard that the ECU's program is different and that a flash can be detected in the BF's and not in the BA's??I might not have all the stuff above right? - But there are probably more differences than some people suspect!

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!
