acid_rush Member 51 Member For: 16y 3m 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 19/07/11 09:13 AM Author Share Posted 19/07/11 09:13 AM Well I got 355kw@w with this motor and box setup in my BA so with a bigger exhaust and fully programmable ecu an extra 15kw should be do able I think..... Yeah the rear end is copping new stiffer V8 king springs with all new shocks while the diff itself has moser 31 spline billet axels, full spool, 3.45 gears! looked at doing a 9inch but they suck more power and are abit heavier, like I said the guy that built it (SPEEDY Diffs in Mascot) has the exact same diff in his BA Turboed 6 powered Cortina that runs 8.60's and make's 750hp+@w so I am pretty happy with it.

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 16y 9m 26d Posted 19/07/11 11:47 AM Share Posted 19/07/11 11:47 AM Sounds like a good build mate. Much Cancer in the ol girl? I had a 6cyl XE GHIA a while back and spent sh*tloads on it. Probs one of the best cars I have owned as it was pretty much rebuilt bumper to bumper. People got to know the car that I didnt even know and when it was sold,I had random people coming upto me in my EB and asking where the XE was. Sold it and 1 week later the bloke put it into a tree.. Goodluck with it all and cant wait to see some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acid_rush Member 51 Member For: 16y 3m 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 20/07/11 09:41 AM Author Share Posted 20/07/11 09:41 AM This is the setup out of my BA and first pass off the brake ran 11.4 at 122mph in that then next pass stalled it up launched and ate a half shaft and that's the only time I took it.... The XE was a deceased estate and sat in the guys sons garage as there was a fight over the will, was stored for 10 years before the court battle was over and the guy just wanted it gone. Its in really good nick for a 29yr old car! Paint is like brand new just missing some where you get in and out of the car on the drivers side sill and 2x 50c size rust in the gutters apart from that its clean as. I dont think its ever had anything in the boot cause its still got the plastic in it and the guy gave me a folder of every little thing spent on the car including the purchase slip to even puncture repairs lol!

acid_rush Member 51 Member For: 16y 3m 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 15/08/11 08:39 AM Author Share Posted 15/08/11 08:39 AM UPDATE: Sorry about no pictures I took some and I cant upload them! Sorry I am terrible at computers hahahaAnyway I found out last week I am losing my license for 6 mths so I am doing a few more things in the mean time, just order a Comp Turbo from the US they are the exact same as the new Garrett GTX series. Ordered a CT43-74mm Good for 1200hp to go on a 6boost manifold wont be here for 4 weeks so pretty pumped (other turbo for sale if anyone is keen look in classifieds). Just deciding what to do engine wise may leave the bottom end stock for now and see was sort of power we can get with e85 or go all out with Atomic engine..... Anyone got one for sale? lol otherwise will order one, will try and get pictures up asapCheers Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
