He says its for a BA, so I'm assuming it will fit my BF?There is a pic attached at the bottom of the post - is this all I need? How much will it cost to have it fitted and such?He said, " I have for sale a GENUINE XR6 Turbo Kit. The Turbo is BRAND NEW (cost around $4100 to buy from Ford alone) The intercooler, exhaust manafold and top manafold were off a new XR6 Turbo that upgraded to aftermarket parts.(all parts are in perfect working order, the intercooler has a couple of small scratches but you can't see it in the car anyway) As far as I know, besides the air pipes and a retune of the factory computer, this is everything you need for the conversion"He is asking $1999 for just whats shown - good deal? How much will I be looking at in total?Cheers,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim for about 220rwkw I think that would be a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you decide to use the factory boost controller you will need to also change your ECU and wiring harness which will have the plugs for the boost controller.On top of what you have I can see the following required to do it correctly.BA\BF plenumBF XR6 Turbo ECUXR6T injectors.XR6T boost controllerXR6T engine wiring loomWater and oil pipesIntercooler pipes hot side and cold side pipesTurbo Exhaust systemBoost sensor (under battery pipe)There are probably more things but these are just what I noticed right away.

I picked up a motor, no harness or computer or pipework for $1750. The harness IS THE SAME except for the plug on the map/air temp sensor on the intake manifold. The only other harness you need goes from next to the air filter box to the 3rd plug on the pcm BUT if you run a aftermarket boost controller you wont need a differant pcm, patch harness, boost controll solinoid. I did get a factory intercooler setup but went with a RAPID hot and cold side set up and bigger intercooler. Injectors, you can pick up a set of semins from the states for $300aud or less delivered(pm me for info). Intake manifold, if you use yours just remove or fix open the bbm butterflys. You should be able to pick up a lo km motor of ebay at around $2000-$2500. GET A FLASH TUNER AND THAT WILL REPROGRAM YOUR PCM TO RUN A TURBO SET UP. The othe differance in the motors are pistons and exhaust valves, (lower compression and better valves). The diff is the only othe week link but call mall wood and he can do a 4 pin setup and better gears than the turbo boys have or find a wrecker with the v8 or turbo one. I did mine for under $4000 and will put out 350rwkw. I do know a guy who has a full setup from a o7 bf f6 ute with under 10,000kms for $5000.

chooch Member 256 Member For: 21y 2m Location: Adelaide Posted 22/03/08 11:31 AM Share Posted 22/03/08 11:31 AM dude, so what if it's cheap! just but an BF T. One thing I have learned is just buy a fast car from the begining. You might end up spending the same amount in the long run.....but with much less hassle. Resale value might be an issue also.
