So I've got a ba xr6 and will be putting an fg f6 engaged be in it at some point, question is what do I have to do to make it saftely handle 450rwkw. I've built the rear end minus drive shafts so that's all good.

 

Has a t56 so what am I going to have to do to that?

 

Tail shaft - box and tail shaft came out of a bf xr6t

 

engine mods - valve springs, oil pump. Injectors, 

 

fuel pump - 

 

Intercooler -

 

air intake - (got an f6 intake on ATM, lower snorkel with k&n filter)

 

And for anything else I'm missing just throw it in there.

Exactly why I'm doing This, doing everything before the power. I've dont the independent motorsport diff hat upgrade and true trac and replaced every bush in the rear spent just over $4000 just in the rear (no drive shafts yet though), gearbox, suspension all up I'm in this car 30k nearly so it's not a viable option to sell and buy another one.

 

How are you thirty grand into a ba with barely any work done yet?

I ask my self this question all the time.

actual car 11.5k (had 40xxxkms when I bout it)

rear end 4k

gearbox 2.2k

Wheels 2.5k

1st set of brakes I spent $1000 just about bought brembos with t3 2 piece (4.5k)

Suspension 1.7k

clutch 1.5k

sway bars $850

all bushes replaced about 1k

tuned $700

speakers, amp, head unit 3k

and the other little it's and pieces 2k

 

80% work done by me so a lot of time invested aswell. 

 

This is without including the 2 t5's I had to replace, the last one I bought brand new and paid $1500

 

Added a photo of the cradle cause I'm proud of it ?IMG_6233.JPG

I take it the car was bought a while back and some of that cost is maintenance but I can see why you want to finish it off rather than buy something already done. 

 

So onto your question; when you say safely, there is safely to give it a squirt on the road on the weekend every now and then and there is safely where you are going to take it to the drags and circuit all the time and flog it mercilessly every chance you get.

 

The first one can be done on a stock motor in good condition with the right bolt ons and some valve springs.

 

The second one will need a built motor for any hint of reliability.

 

Obviously the bolt ons will be similar eg; injectors, fuel pump/s, surge tank (you can get away with not having one for street use), exhaust, turbo mods, intercooler etc etc. All of this info regarding bolt ons can be found pretty easily with the search bar. Take a look through the 400rwkw section or even the 500rwkw section and see what people are using.

 

Hey did you know your cradle is orange? :imsohappy:

Haha bushes are maintenance man.

 

Have a real good read and then come back here and mention what parts you are thinking about. There are some guys on here, looking at you @JETURBO, who know this stuff inside and out and will be able to tell you exactly whether or not the parts will suit your purpose.

 

You don't want to go overkill and you sure as hell don't want to buy things twice cos they aren't up to the task.

 

I take it yours is the green car?

Yea will be doing that real soon, I've seen a few threads that mention him. 

 

Id rather do more than less though. Cause don't wanna be replacing things cause they needed to be replaced.

That's the go. Do it right the first time and you'll only have to do it once.

 

When do you think you'll have it finished?
