#2010fgxr6turbo Banned 79 Member For: 14y 5m 6d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 22/09/10 02:17 AM Author Share Posted 22/09/10 02:17 AM thanks for the support guys deeply appreciate it the list I gave you's is just the first half because you have to do the internal side of it too as everyone knows u cant just bolt these things into a car and expect an 8sec 1/4 mile it takes time effort money and good project management although im still wondering if I'll need a aftermarket ecu or if the stock one can be re-mapped. cheers for the patients guys it will be worth the wait for sure.

They're literally a credit card and a phone call away. Even the 9".....I popped into Xtreme's workshop one day and his FG XR8 was there and a few weeks later I went back to the exhaust joint next door and Simon's giggling saying go look in the back of the ute.......so there I am looking in the tray and scratching my head when he yells out...underneath. Oh hello 9" lol. Seriously if you truely want something and quick, you can make it happen. Anyway, I say go for it Brendan and use all this negativity to prove these guys wrong. He11 at worst you'll probably run a 9!edit....stock ECU is more than capable. Edited 22/09/10 02:24 AM by IH8TOADS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude that ran the first 10 in a manual....how many times had he raced before hey? Give this guy a chance, just because you guys have spent a few years on your builds doesn't mean this guy has to do the same. The xr's have come a long way with monster builds over the last yr and a lot of R&D has been done so it's a lot easier to build a monster now. This guy doesn't hardcore slander back like some of the di(ks on here so give him a chance and give him the help he's on here for!Ive been reading this thread and have enjoyed it so far. I dont think anyone is being harsh its just interesting seeing a new kid in town and his take on life. Welcome to the forums #2010fgxr6turbo, only advice I can give you is that this place is full of information and I suggest you have a good look around read more before you stick your big head out as im sure it will again get chopped off.

Posted 22/09/10 08:59 AM Share Posted 22/09/10 08:59 AM im sure a 8 is on the card, the question is, does he have the atomic motor and all the other list? or is it a wish list that will be bought 'asap/5 years/never'?Anyone can come on and say im gonna build a X sec ford with a wish list that will never come true'.If he has the motor and parts paid for in full at the shop/his house ready to be played with, different story! Then its game on! I havnt seen any confirmation of anything of the wish list nor photos of anything....does any exist?Im more then happy to support the cause if its not a dreamers thread!

gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 4m 4d Posted 22/09/10 10:13 PM Share Posted 22/09/10 10:13 PM (edited) I hope this guy does get his 8 second pss but I hope he also appreciates it will cost him a huge amount and wont be much of a daily. It's not rocket science to go fast, you need a tough motor, a BIG turbo, really tough driveline with a suitable high high stall to get the monster turbo spooled, huge fuel system, the right suspension and slicks. It all sounds simple until you dump well over 50k into it and might still not make an 8.And because your turbo will be massive it wont make a great daily since the response just wont be there, a 2 or 3 speed box will suck for long drives and you'll most likely get harassed anytime a cop sees a cage. I'd be saying aim for a 10 and if that still isnt fast enough move the posts to a 9, then if you really need to go for an 8. It sounds easy to say I'll go 1 second faster and between say a 12 and a 12 or 12 to 11 its reasonably straight forward but the lower you get the harder and more expensive it is.
