JK89 Member 56 Member For: 14y 3m 2d Posted 23/02/11 03:09 AM Author Share Posted 23/02/11 03:09 AM The turbo is not costing me anything. its more a promotional thing on the ute for billetturbochargers. Yes vsprings are on the board and thinking of putting a BF/F6 bottom end in to support the turbo. gearbox is questionable at the moment. wont be hooning/draging/skidding in it just a nice daily with a good power figure to match the turbo. If anyone has a t56 gearbox for sale I would be more then happy to trade something of value ie turbo etc etc. please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK89 Member 56 Member For: 14y 3m 2d Posted 24/02/11 02:21 AM Author Share Posted 24/02/11 02:21 AM Cool. well now I have an idea of what I need to do. does anyone know if you can use a standard non turbo ba/bf bottem end and rebuild it? or are the tolerances and whatnot completely different? As I would prefer to build a bottem end and then put it in once ready. As a xr6t engine is worth 4-5k and a standard engine is 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also change the valve springs as im guessing you would get a fg bottom end as you are looking for over 300rwkw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK89 Member 56 Member For: 14y 3m 2d Posted 24/02/11 09:35 AM Author Share Posted 24/02/11 09:35 AM Going to get a standard xr6 BA/BF bottom end, as they are the same just different componants you can pick up a complete engine for less then $1000. Then gonna strip it re-machine/hone and get new goodies for it. ie rods, pistons, cams and valve springs. Spoke to a couple of guys today who know their stuff and they said that would work well as long as machining and honing is correct! the next 2 months worth of w.e's are gone now :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
