ha thats cool as if thats stock 250rwkw and 270 at the engine doent make sence ford should be advertising it 295kw .the 300kw+ hsv's only have 250 and 270rwkw
you can tell its a big coverup downplaying the turbo's so the v8s dont lag in sales u wouldnt pay more for a v8 if on paper the 6 was shown to make more power and torque @ lower rpm, weighs less gets 7L per 100klms better, the only thing they cant do is make that noise

the car went back again, they then told me my gearbox was making thr boost go crazy... WTF?
they had no idea on what was wrong with the car and 18months later now it still surges, they even tryied telling me it did it before they touched it... but it as stock and went fine.
as for my custom tunes they are all the same and all shit.
also since they touched it i have also found numerus bolts missing and even a snapped stud in the rocker cover...
they said bring it back up, i considered what other choice do i have, so back i went.
now you need this waste gate acuator, fine do it, now you need these new coils, now you need these spark plugs... and so on. still the same problem, they had car all day and could not fix it.
dont think they revved this car hard enough to produce 256rwkw but as i own an fg turbo im certain it makes that power from stock, just wish they would show the run it actually did to produce that power figure. oh the zf 6 speed auto dominates the t6060 manual. t6060 is in my opinion a clunky rough shifting driveline rattling box of shit in the fords, would rather the t56manual. but then again in the hsv the t6060 is mad and you would'nt own the auto if it were thrown at ya. but thats just me
hay i really some advice here. ive just placed an order on a new fg xr6 turbo in manual. i only drove the auto and it felt slow. will the manual feel like a actuall turbo car. all im after is that strong surge of gforce, all the evo's got it and the wrx's but will the fg have the same feeling if not more?
Hey mate, being honest, i wish i had gone the auto. Between gear changes on full throttle th car remains on constant boost in an auto. My manual does produce that surge you're after because you shift manually and then accelerate again, boost drops and then spools making the car feel faster. I believe the auto is faster overall. My 2 cents.
@findanotherone i just bought an auto if you dont think its fast....then you need a different car. I think the auto transmission on the FG is great. I have been a manual driver all my life and i converted to auto with the xr6 turbo
@findanotherone Manual's are for idiots. Auto's clutch and change in the 0.0x second mark whereas by the time your brain recognises redline approaching, 0.13 seconds have already elapsed. Cars aren't about opinions, they're about maths, plain and simple.
@bashpr0mpt obviously your a shit driver and just like to plant your foot flat to the floor. Manuals are for drivers, but your obviously wouldnt know that.
The ZF 6 speed is the way to go mate... unless your planning on it being a track car. otherwise, the ZF will be more efficient in its changes every time compared to the manual. Just ask the boys on ford forums.com
To all those guys boasting about a V6 or a V8 alloy engine with supercharger. None of it is true the current engines will stay in production for atleast 5 more years Ford said earlier this year. Then they will see where it goes they might continue producing the same engines just much stronger in the performance department.
With a tune only Simon (XFT) got 260 rwKw on a 40 degree day and after heat soaked motor with mine. Wild now, cant wait to mod it further so I can keep up withn bikes. I don't bother with HSVs anymore as they think having a run is 0-60ks......
Nah the FPV F6 has 310 at the flywheel the xr6t have gone from 245 in BF to 270 in a FG at the fly.. Its possible to get a boost controller and boost it up abit to get this power but straight out of factory without any mods i find hard to believe..
The reason they are dropping the I6 is that it is cast iron and takes to long to heat up to lean the fuel out to meet up with emision regs. Inline motors develope good torque and don't need to rev as much to get about. Thats why these cars work so well.
Well they are investing millions and in the plant and have not said anything about closing and they have said that they will have an all new engine for 2010 that meets new emmisions requirements.
Ford Australia lost the plot in 1983 when they dropped the V8. Now they are heading that way again. No V8, no I6, no Turbo at this stage when the I6 is dicontinued, and a wind down of involvement in motorsport, particularly V8 Supercars.. Sad to say but I believe there will not be an Aussie Falcon after 2012. The Mondeo is similar size and could end up as the flagship. V8 Supercars will not remain a two manufacturer Championship and survive. Especially with Channel 7 screwing up the TV coverage.
the falcon will always be australian, there have been doughts over the commadore and falcon going to other counries over the years and nothing happened, and ford will never drop the GT and yes i agree ford dropping the v8 after the xe was stupid, but they came back to life and have recovered and have made bloody could cars from then on!
Couldnt agree more, What are they doing? We now have a GT, GT-P, GT-E, WTF?! We only need 1 muscle car a GT, if you want luxury get a force8 or fairlane?, And now the icing on the cake- a GT without a FORD badge?! We all dream of owning a FORD GT not an FPV GT?! Ford is wasting money on production of so many variants, which could be put to good use else where. We need Ford to be sold to us and listed on the ASX, have a voted board, which are held accountable at 1/4yr share holders meetings!
Exactually, Fuck the P and E off, we dont need varients they need to focus on getting a bigger and better engine for the Ford V8s to combat the HSV shit.
Classic engine, but with emmissions and fords global strategy to share parts/components it going to have to make way. I reckon if you bored the V6 out to 4ltrs it would absolutely hamma!
Theyre replacing the Boss 5.4ltr at the same time aret they? I want to get my hands on one of those!!!
If the i6 was direct injection it would have better power, torque and maybe even better consumption than the v6. It'd be cheaper than bringing in a new engine wouldn't it???
At a gues the turbo duratec should make the power with direct injection etc. but it's gonna have a hard time matching the awesome torque characteristics of the OZ made 4 lire.. America obviously have the last word as always
Ford America should just fuck itself and leave us to have our 4 litre's instead there losing money so they take our fuckin motor for it so they can get some of our sales..gay arse ford america..they tried the same bloody thing when the AU came out..the 1998-99 Ford tauraus was gunna be the AU till ford aus said lets see what we can do first..fuck i hate ford america
ford 3.5 v6 is still not confirmed. still 2 years before that happens and yes there will be a 3.5 v6 twin turbo on the market as soon as that does happen. those are the facts. just curious xr6 twin turbo so wonder what will become of the f6. i somehow doubt inline 6 will completly phase out. 1960's ford has used inline 6.
Why Aussie Ford won't export this for the North America market? Holden export their cars to the US

@laurieonbike the car went in for injectors, valve springs and to supply a flash box (capa2) and give me 3 custom tunes.
car was on duno maybe 20mins, and they where done.
took it for a road test and the boost kept surging from 5-10psi.
they put it back on dyno, another 30mins (most of which is switched off while they Down load to computer).
Con said it was right and i lived some 2 hours from their work shop so i paid and left.

The XR6 Turbo puts out more power than quoted by Ford.
Why would they do that you ask? Because they don't want it beating the V8 in power otherwise they won't be able to flog off any V8's.
