Tracking similar to your budget which is good considering that these parts are typically a little more expensive here in NZ.

Nice! I really want to do an AU XR6+t build and should have the funds to do so soon enough. I recently +t'd my P12 Primera QR20DE, which no one ever does so I was going in blind and figuring it out as I went, so the XR6 should be a cakewalk in comparison. Plus it taught me a lot about how to approach such projects and be prepared for some of the unexpected costs, potential issues, and work that can pop up in the process. I've also got an old buggered factory manual parts car laying around to do a manual conversion, as well as spares galore lol. Anyway, can't wait to go over your build vids and see what I can learn!! Cheers 👍

You have done something a lot of people claim they will but never do and you did it for an excellent price. I was expecting it to spiral out to $5K+ but it didn't. That's a win for a performance mod that gave such an increase. Spend $5K in a workshop and you will not get that much of a gain. If you were ta ask me what you could do next I'd recommend chasing that 13 and doing those mods, where possible, yourself. For a future project I thought getting a $1/2,000 N/A turd. Polish it up so it's pretty. Then turbo it. Then................SELL IT! It would be interesting to see how you would do things different and how much you would get from the sale. Maybe a bit too MCM, maybe? Keep 'em coming Browney. Oh and sorry about the calendars :( I tried a new supplier. Won't do that again.

G'day Glen! Oh it could have VERY easily haha. Next stage only gets more pricey but doing it myself here I think we can get there eventually, excited for more to come on this car once I've enjoyed it as is for a bit. Love the idea of buying something cheap, tidying it up and enjoying it on the channel then moving it on to see if we can make a little money that way while experiencing another car - I have a habit of getting attached to cars though! Plus I hate selling them, too many stuff arounds followed by my paranoia that something out of my control will break 🤣. Still think we'll have a go at something like this one day though. And please don't stress about the calendar - the one in the shed is last years that I've removed the calendar part from so I can have the art up still with the current years right on the wall next to my editing computer. Plus it gets incredibly damp then hot as well in that shed so it had no hope really!

I reckon keep the budget theme going and see what sort of bang for buck you can extract from the car. Like whatever the next cheapest mod is do that and get a dyno figure/quarter mile time, then the next cheapest mod do that and get a dyno figure/ quarter mile time and so on. IMO its probably the most interesting part of dicking around with vehicles seeing what tweaks can be made to get what result.

Absolutely cracking series and run down mate! A very realistic look at what goes into (and how much time it actually takes) to achieve a car goal! Reckon you will get more benefit in adding a stall and changing diff gears than upping the boost too - will completely change the way the car drives and responds and will make great use of the power you already have! Will have to get XW into shape so we can line up the green Falcons at Heathcote at some point! Look forward to the next builds!!

Hey Browny, just wondering if you had considered using a manual boost t, or an eboost 2 or the like in order to control boost? Am in the process of getting parts together to turbo mine and am considering one of these options as factory turbo ecu and harnesses seem to be rare or very expensive (upto 2k!) Which puts them into buy a haltech territory. Just curious on your thoughts. Cheers
@BrowneysGarage
Жыл бұрын
Oh I consider it all the time, more power! 🤣 Depends on what level you're going for I think. Even a manual boost tee to something like 7-10psi would probably not be terrible, then something like the eBoost you mention if you want better control and safety seems like a pretty good thing and I'm not really against them. I'm just a bit over adding more wires and complexity to the car and would love to have the control all in the one spot, especially for that extra safety for the ECU to be able to change the boost target if things are looking REALLY bad. Not the end of the world though, there's other safeties that could be used and if I can't source one for a reasonable price I will definitely consider something at around the eBoost 2 level maybe. Good luck with it all mate!

As an NA motor? You would be looking at at least 10k- high comp pistons, cams, valves, manifolds, ecu tunes...Ideally, you would look at NOS to make up the power difference between NA & turbo. Raptor superchargers do blower kits for 6k ish (i had a Vortech V2 on my old BA XT police duty car that laid a lazy 330rwkw with the blower, cams and tuning, intercooler) and that was in 2005- blower kits were near on 15k back then. Add another 3k for gearbox mods.

From what I've seen and heard in comments etc at the tuners I've used, Maxx Performance, they normally like to keep the factory BA XR6T bottom end limited to 300rwkw or just under on 98 due to the smaller rods largely. Obviously a little different to a NA motor but they have very similar rods so I'd say this is a fair guide of what could be safe...ish! I could be wrong on all that of course, and transmission may start getting a little unhappy before that anyway, not sure.
