Which is why im limiting myself to pushing to 300kw at this stage. I would look at strengthen the motor eventually if I wanted to push for more. Appreciate everyone's suggestions, il talk with the shop more about whether I really need the BTR built as its quite a chunk of the total cost and if its really not that needed and be ok with just an external cooler. Il pop in a guage as well to monitor the temps to hopefully avoid popping the box.

I have seen quite a few people reach more then that on the stock engine for BA and last quite a while.

Probably a good idea.

Blue Dog New Member 1 Member For: 3y 9m 16d Posted 20/03/24 05:33 AM Share Posted 20/03/24 05:33 AM Stock Ford FG MkII XR6T ute with 180,000km on the clock. Replaced the exhaust with a Manta Turbo back 2.5" stainless dual system & K&N Filter in the stock airbox. NO other modifications done. Left with the tuner in the morning with an estimated 220 rwkw, picked up from the tuner in the afternoon with 304 rwkw. This is a daily driver.

Panda Eyes flame magnet Gold Donating Members 5,674 Member For: 16y 11m 11d Gender: Male Location: adelaide hills- 'race air' central Posted 23/04/24 07:35 AM Share Posted 23/04/24 07:35 AM converting to ethanol will gain more power with less stress and will be a lot easier on the BA motor if you're in a location that has it available. Bigger injectors will be needed as more volume is required than unleaded, as well as upgraded fuel lines as ethanol will eat the standard ones. but most of the way they're steel anyway so no biggie. BTRs are able to be built now to handle a lot more power than they used to. Mine was warrantied to 400RWKW Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97217-will-this-get-my-car-to-300ish-rwkw-reliably-as-a-daily-car/page/2/#findComment-1722835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
