Tree Monkey Member 685 Member For: 17y 4m 20d Gender: Male Location: brisvagas / Manly Posted 16/12/07 12:42 AM Share Posted 16/12/07 12:42 AM I have all ways wanted a ba/bf xr6t but having a new busness I wanted to use as much funds on the busness only but bthe want/need for a ba turbo just became to strong when I saw a white n/a xr6 5speed on e-bay. My first thought was buyit for $5500 do it up for a cost of $5000 to $6500 then sellit to buy a nother xr6t. The only problem was then I brought a genuine gt kit for $1060, had an offer on a turbo motor with 60000k's for $1750 from a friend at a wreckers (no harness or pcm) and now a few more special items later it has cost me around $12000 and I havent even seen the car yet. My problem is all the fkn hot xr6t's I keep reading about on this sight and e-bay for some cheep parts. So thanks to you all for the drive and insperation / idears and thank telstra for the free internet(they stuffed me around and gave me free hi speed broad band) so I can be on here allmost 24/7. Here is a pic of the car and a list of parts I am puting in to it.2003 ba xr6radiator=$140 new a/m. thermos $150. airbox=$70. bonnet lock=$25.grill $60. bonnet hinges $20 pair.both white guards$260.airbag kit $650 xr6t motor $1750 harness $125prem icc $450gt body kit $1060 BA-BF STARTAR BUTTON .INCLUED LOOM,SOCKET,REALY. $180Ford Flash Tuner $510 8x 42LB INJECTORS $162cobolt guages bost and oil pres $221guage pod $ 138k&n filter $89fpv badge for skirt $60BORGG FPGSS341 FUEL PUMP $116What other performance parts do you recomend ???

Apparently they are different in NAsSo the manual gearbox is differant, the tailshaft is differant and the diff is differant!!!so wich diff do the turbo run, is it the m78 or m86 ????what is the differance between the gear boxes except the ratios???I was looking at replacing it with a 6 speed if it died Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/40617-build-my-own-xr6t/#findComment-609641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

T56 is your best option, but the cost a bit Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/40617-build-my-own-xr6t/#findComment-609644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
