With out taxis being anywhere from 8.5 - 9.0:1!

joe@cms Member 129 Member For: 15y 10m 2d Gender: Male Posted 19/10/11 09:38 PM Share Posted 19/10/11 09:38 PM ok if you are on a budget the egas FG is perfect better rods & pistons than the n/a version, & on e85 or caltex flex there will be no issue with tuning....... with the right combo as we did one we've taken one well over to 350rwkw & runs perfectly also having more comp has more low down torque whitch feels like a worked v8................. its all in the tunecheersjoe Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77424-need-an-engine/page/2/#findComment-1151495 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee will check the tune to make sure it is safe and if not im up for an xcal and a tune. Anyone got a spare xcal 3 lyin around?

Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 5m 27d Gender: Male Posted 20/10/11 05:55 AM Share Posted 20/10/11 05:55 AM Why not a new short motor from ford? $2900 for a fg short, if heads ok then that might be the way to go. You can still get BF MK2 short motors for same price and bolt straight in. With FG short there's a couple of small things to do to fit it.

Would end up costing more again, also its more cost effective to buy an F6 short.

Gasman Ford Nub Member 412 Member For: 14y 10d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 24/10/11 09:55 AM Author Share Posted 24/10/11 09:55 AM Anyone know much about NPC flywheels? Apparently my BA was found to have one fitted after the donk was pulled. Not sure on the clutch yet but it is very heavy. My Bro inlaw had an FPV GTP (BF I think) and my clutch is much harder to push in.
