This is my first XR6 and I am loving it but would definitely love to be educated a bit further as to what the engine is capable in standard form ie. Stock internals, bearings and head gaskets and signs and things I should look out for to provide better care to the Engine and Car. My turbo was replaced with a new GT35/82R due to an issue with a factory oil line that feeds the turbo? I was told this caused the original turbo to fail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic_oosty Donating Members 241 Member For: 13y 1m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney/Wollongong Posted 26/11/12 12:39 AM Share Posted 26/11/12 12:39 AM I'm assuming yours is a BF1 and As a comparison, My BF1 has 155,000kms with 382rwkw on stock unopened engine mate. I do however believe mine got the BF mkII upgrade internals... I'm having no issues with it in those regards, it seems to be happy in the 300's.I also do not drive Miss Daisy around... It gets a good work out. If you're happy with say 350 power mark, it will go all day with a safe tune "IMO" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good tune (XFT) and regular oil changes! Valve springs softening (BFII - still stock) and gearbox is showing weakness now too though, no WOT shifting 3 to 4.

Bushido Member 18 Member For: 12y 3m 8d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 26/11/12 05:55 AM Author Share Posted 26/11/12 05:55 AM (edited) Thanks for feed back, does settle the nerves a little bit, I have been so use to imports knowing that getting past the 400hp mark safe meant engine out strip and forge, so it comes a bit of a shock that XRs do this with minimal mods. Mine is a Jan 06 BF from all the advice given I was told the early BF engines are time bombs O_o got me worried a little only October 06 had the stronger engine, Then others have said the bottom end and head gasket are solid on all XR turbos so I guess for me its still a learning curve. Thanks for all the info so far its good to see a large group willing to lend a hand and provide information.

Bushido Member 18 Member For: 12y 3m 8d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 26/11/12 11:51 AM Author Share Posted 26/11/12 11:51 AM A few of my previous cars, I have found alot of the XR6 T engine is similar to the RB25 setup from my experience. But without taking thread fully off topics I thought id post some my old cars. Note if I am to be flamed for owning these cars please take note I am a car enthusiast I like all cars from mini to Expensive Daewoo I do not discriminate any car or model I just would never buy a hyundisilv.bmp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
