mybanez Member 12 Member For: 12y 10m 19d Gender: Male Location: WA Posted 04/06/12 06:02 AM Share Posted 04/06/12 06:02 AM Hey guys,So about two months ago I bought a BA XR6 N/A, I'm loving it for a first car but I just want a couple extra KWs.All I want to know is what would be the most effective way to get a touch extra out of it without spending all my cash ( I don't want to spend over $3500 though I could go to $5000).I've heard that just a new air filter and a good tune up can give me 10 to 20 extra kilowatts. Is there anything to back this up or is this just someone talking out their arse?I understand that a new exhaust could add a bit but I hate the noise, I like my car to look and sound good. Are there any exhaust systems out there that wont change the sound to poorly? You know, I don't want a straight six that sounds like an 8 with a hole in the muffler.So yeah recommend me some good mods that will add a bit without emptying my wallet.

Thanks anyway mate. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80448-xr6-na-cheap-mods/#findComment-1249098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratio of diff gears? KW like to get out of it?I would do it with my brother because he's a 3rd year apprentice mechanic, but sadly he's in jail.

Or research Genie, I've herd these are cheap but dont know how they flow. For diff, 4.11s. Or territory 4.10s but there not LSD. It's not a lot of labour, tuning is the dearest part. Leave the tune till last. Or wait till your brother gets out, and get him To steal all the parts. 6 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80448-xr6-na-cheap-mods/#findComment-1249211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
