With a smaller exhaust hosing & wheel top end power once modded will be down.Piping is a zillion times better than BA/BF, its going to be very simple to design a good higher flowing kit for this while retaining a very factory look. Good times ahead!

This could be good news to BA and BF users!!It will be interesting to see the dyno graphs. I am sure that Jim @ Tunehouse would be happy to offer a free dyno run for anyone who wants to see what their new FG XR6T is doing. I have to admin that the new F6 is starting to look really good to me ... Mmmmm, strip to good bits off my car sell it and install them in a new manual F6!! ... this could be a good project.

Elias Member 109 Member For: 17y 5m Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/03/08 01:13 AM Share Posted 02/03/08 01:13 AM isn't part of the idea of the new set up about creating more low end torque? Smaller turbo means faster spool up which means more low end torque. if they simply wanted to put 270KW in the T they would have just saved themselves alot of time and money and put in the Typhoon motor as it was. I'm very surprised that given this motor has only got a short life span that they went to this much effort.

The combination of what I listed will probably restrict low end torque and high end power in modified and edited cars... this makes sense as Ford might be looking to try and save the transmissions and clutches. It will be interesting to see how well the new model reacts to modification...

Those pics of the XR6T (Front and rear) look awesome!! I really hope Ford release a similar color to citric/toxic in this range. Now that will set if off brilliantly San.

I wonder if that designer was contacted for some "technical input" on the new model??
