Henz Tampon inserted, Auto Acquired, next purchase a new handbag Donating Members 9,946 Member For: 17y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 29/07/11 05:17 AM Share Posted 29/07/11 05:17 AM Good Luck with it mate, good to see someone giving it a go. It can be done, and has been done plent of times before. If it was me ild look at buying a complete motor, but what you have is good enough for a start. Hope it goes well for you.

Hopefully you can get trade price on the upgrade then as well. I have the manuals for both if you need it. If those guys are with fraud they can just go into parts and print it anyway I guess.I would seriously consider upgrading the front suspension while you are in there. Bushes and dampers anyway. The extra squirt really shows in the handling and not in a good way.Yeah I'm not really holding out for trade prices as yet. I'm just looking for second hand gear before I go and get ripped off by ford at the moment. I'm not trying to make it a track car haha. It is already lowered through pedders so will that do?

Cheaty McCheats Totally not a Cop Donating Members 821 Member For: 14y 2m 30d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 30/07/11 12:46 PM Share Posted 30/07/11 12:46 PM Thread TLDR.May have been said, but if all you're really wanting to turbo your NA over selling and buying a forced one, look into buying an Atomic built billet motor.

It's not that f*cking easy. In my case I'd wanna find another Velocity MKII with Premo leather and Premo Sounds. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76159-fg-na-to-turbo/page/2/#findComment-1131380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time the guys do a direct swap with all the bolt ons from a turbo then make less power then a standard ba turbo.

The turbo engine is a vastly different creature to the NA.
