(which I believe would make the kit "Safer").I can think of a few items I would buy the for XR to the value of $15k before tuning to push the power numbers way above qouted.Just my 2 cents rounded up to 5.RegardsTUFXRT6 Edited 12/12/07 09:22 PM by TUFXRT6 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/40533-holden-supercharged-v8-from-walkinshaw/page/2/#findComment-608011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skrema Guests Posted 12/12/07 10:07 PM Share Posted 12/12/07 10:07 PM (edited) Its 422kw at the engine which is around a 100kw gain. Its a nice kit and im sure it would drive very well. But for the cost of a car with an LS2 plus the 15k on top, it really isnt worth it. For around half that price I was able to almost double the power of my car. Granted the LS2 has far more potential to make big numbers but how much more money does one have to spend?Also one thing with kits like this, they dont account for other parts of car like driveline and suspension. I know when they first started produicing turbo kts for the LS1 people were baning their autos left rigth and centre because they coudlnt handle the increase in power. I6 has been such a fantastic platform for forced induction for such a long time now.

MARTIN Member 3 Member For: 17y 5m 3d Posted 19/12/07 12:58 PM Share Posted 19/12/07 12:58 PM Well I have this kit on a ve gts auto. It makes 340rwkw .470 engine kw As soon as I can get the auto beefed up that number can go to 400 rwkw.The 15k would be tuned & with injectors/fuel rail. Someone put this kit on a std ss & made 320rwkw. manual always looks better on paper but on the street forget it. From the lights I can burn almost anyone.

Or even get a GTE and slap a charger on that thing YUM!
