KutaXR6t Member 57 Member For: 16y 1m 6d Gender: Male Location: Perth North Cost Posted 12/09/10 01:34 PM Share Posted 12/09/10 01:34 PM Thinking about a rebuild on my 03 BA Turbo, I've clocked up about 130,000KMs and want to get the motor more than ready for handling a bit more power. I know the stock motor is good into the 300KW range but I just wanna make sure she's ready to handle it. Anyways I've got an intercooler kit on the way and some silicone radiator hoses as I've had issues with leaks, looking into under battery intake and a full exhaust system but I wanna get the internals done too.How much would it cost for a general rebuild? im only really after 310-320KW power range. I've seen some talk on here about FPV short motors, not really sure how that all works, but whats my best option here?

Posted 13/09/10 06:00 AM Share Posted 13/09/10 06:00 AM stock ba motors can handle 310-320 no worries. depends on the tuner and supporting basic mods. cooler, zorst, fuelpump, injectors, x3 + tune + actuator. prob dont even need to mod the turbo.

What difference would the FG bottom end make on the stock motor? Same power with stronger bits or a bit gruntier? I can imagine it would sound quite nice :hiwelcome: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70491-ba-rebuild/#findComment-1040202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
