Fg 270- Or 320+

[lowfutura]

Hey everyone, I'm a new member and this is my first post, and I thought I would share some first hand information that I thought was very interesting.

Today while booking in my new 2 week old- 3,200 klm BF Mk2, In for some serious work at Redcliffe dyno, the tuner told me that they have dyno'd 3 stock standard FG xr6 turbos that have that have clocked up over 320 KW and 2 of those dyno'd at 330KW Without any mods at all with standard factory tune.

He also mentioned that they have not had the opportunity to dyno an FG f6 in standard tune, but suggested it would be much higher than the factory310Kw quoted.

Welcome mate...but I seriously think you have been spun an absolute load of crap.

I've stood by and watched an FG T strapped to a dyno and run up - it netted 240-247rwkw. Although this does seem a little higher than the quoted engine output of 270, it is no-where near 300+

240rwkw would be 300 at the fly,and I'm sure the f6 would be over the quoted 310 but they need to sell those big bloody v8's some how and rating them at less than the 6T wouldn't help

XFT's F6 ran up 283rwkw stock that runs out to be about 350 kw at the fly that's a bit more than 310

That noted, on the Nizpro open day an auto pulled 289..

GT only pulled 253

Must have meant hp, not kw.

[our06t]

the original post is talkin flywheel kw wich isn't far off rear wheel horse power when it's worked out

[PHANTMXR6]

Mine laid 242rwkW standard. Which equates to approx 295kw at the flywheel using a 22% drivetrain loss.

My 242rwkW equates to approx 324hp at the wheels.

295 flywheel kilowatts equates to approx 395 horsepower.

1.34 horsepower to a kilowatt.

so to answer the question it seems they have been underated by a fair bit

[PHANTMXR6]

Yep.
