Is there anyone with FGs starting to push it yet.I myself was in the same dilema when purchasing my car. As you can see I have a BFII F6 only because I am chasing some big numbers and the prices were great and even better now.

If you can aford it go for the FG F6 then there will be no comparison to the BF. The FG XR6T has the smaller turbo and wont make the big numbers but has some pretty impressive response and early torque. The BF has the bigger turbo like the FG F6 and will make bigger numbers but at a cost of response.I will be pushing the turbo to the max in mine sometime in the next few months when I can get my hands on an intercooler and exhaust and then the decision will be to stick with the turbo I have or install the GT3582R off the FG F6 on. With the wheel spin I have now in first and a bit into second I'm unsure if I will take the path of a bigger turbo. I myself am aiming for a fast street car rather than a kw monster.Benny.

Will probably look at injectors and cooler later but after that traction really becomes an issue. The low down grunt is s much fun.Vic Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53718-bf-mkii-to-fg/page/2/#findComment-808331 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake F6 Donating Members 327 Member For: 21y 10m 7d Location: Melbourne Posted 30/01/09 01:37 AM Share Posted 30/01/09 01:37 AM I think that for those looking at mild mods only (ie. Tune & Air intake & Center muffler) this seems to be the current status (approx):BA - Stock: 200rwkw - Tuned - 250rwkwBF - Stock: 200rwkw - Tuned - 250rwkw FG - Stock: 230rwkw - Tuned - 280rwkwIn each Tuned case the injectors are at their limits (ie. FG has better flowing injectors).PS. BA/BF manuals need a clutch upgrade at 250kw, not sure if FG needs clutch upgrade at 280kw ???Beyond the power levels above, you have to start swapping injectors, springs, intercooler, cat etc.The FG XR6T seems to be 0.8 seconds quicker in stock form 0-100km/h and 0-400m than BA/BF, so mildly modified to 280rwkw, I think that it would be a monster!

Jake F6 Donating Members 327 Member For: 21y 10m 7d Location: Melbourne Posted 02/02/09 02:31 AM Share Posted 02/02/09 02:31 AM I guess the conclusion is that FG is better for mild tuning.Another question: Which is faster BF F6 or FG XR6T? Magazines seem to have them fairly close! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53718-bf-mkii-to-fg/page/2/#findComment-814955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
