gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 11m 10d Posted 05/07/21 02:35 AM Share Posted 05/07/21 02:35 AM Follow my thought process here. If chasing above power is there any benefit to starting with a turbo base, over a na base when most of the turbo gear would go in the bin. ( Or sold second hand) The na base would have to be a 6speed zf g6e. The negatives I have so far. - Boost control (need eboost2 as pcm won't have the strategy)- something about the idle/ run down won't be correct ( but I believe this may be fixed with pcmtech and fitting a map sensor or something. Haven't 100% solved this just yet)- Brakes. Need upgraded fronts. - Would need a turbo intake manifold setup, (or a proflow one) I would buy a gas motor (for the valves) and build this (forged goodies again) Would buy a turbo zf and build this. Input shaft, clutches, solenoids, bushes. Diff. Buy a turbo diff centre, Repco turbo axles, replace the rear hubs with turbo ones, and do the bushes while I'm there. Everything else is common or would be upgraded. Upgraded exhaust manifold. G42 size turbo, custom dump and intake. Built tailshaft. Then intercoolerPiping.Fuel systemEtc Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96312-550-600kw-build/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly everything is interchangeable with turbo platform and or going to be better so I can’t see much of an issue with going the cheaper option first to build on 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96312-550-600kw-build/#findComment-1705902 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I like both, I just prefer manual. I've thought about the exact same thing you're doing, just manual instead. I think if I was doing an auto, I'd go a ute, with massive tubs. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96312-550-600kw-build/#findComment-1705906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRYME Member 313 Member For: 4y 4m 6d Posted 06/07/21 04:04 PM Share Posted 06/07/21 04:04 PM (edited) Starting from NA is way cheaper considering cost of turbos these days and Shouldn't be an issue as your gonna change most things anyways... what's your plan engine wise? What sort of Rod piston combo? glad you've listed brakes as a mod standard kit is terrible for a perf car Edited 06/07/21 04:07 PM by TRYME 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96312-550-600kw-build/#findComment-1705915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already got a little spicy. Set of H scat rods came up for $300 on market place. Missed out on them by 15 minutes.
