So the other month I bought a second hand 08 BF mkII xr6 turbo. After one week I thought I would take the car to BTA for a service on the 6 speed before I started the mods and found the head gasket had gone.. F my life part 1. After removing the head they noticed cylinder 5 was rooted and had a nice chunk taken out of it.. F my life part 2 lol All this while im still building my Mazda rx3.So after a lot of thought and disbelief that this was happening to me, I ended up leaving the car with BTA to replace the engine and do some work for me. They ended up finding a very low K g6et engine to throw in and start some mods. Heres a quick list of some of the modifications that where done:G6ET EngineCustom BTA intercooler kitID1000 injectorsPort and upgrade wastegate and actuatorHigh flow fuel pumpCustom CAI and battery relocationPaint the rocker cover blackTrans service and tuneHigh flow catNew spark plugsCustom catch can and breather systemXcal 3 and dyno tuneThe car made 390rwkw with a bit of valve float so they tuned it back down to 350rwkw which is more then enough for my daily/tow car for my mazda. More importantly I finally have a heater for my 4am work starts! haha anyway Im more then happy with the work, the power and the service. They are a great bunch of guys and really helped me out. I also took all the badges off today, I just think it looks a lot more cleaner Future plans? I will throw my old 20s on, lower it and just enjoy the car. Then when I get bored I will do the valve springs and bump the power back up lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80615-mrdose-v2/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
