How fast have XR6's gone with a standard wheeled turbo? And how fast have they gone with modified wheels? Please mention the use of nitrous. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm talking auto. So how many are running 10's now? Anyone have a rough idea? I would like to know how much power these cars have too.

How many 10 sec XR6T's are getting around now? And how much power is needed to dip into the 10's?
-
How did that happen? Seriously. Does everyone on this forum either keep the car dead stock until the warranty period is over or do they just not give a crap about the warranty?

I also ported my gate. The flapper is about twice the size. Even with 2 springs the gate is being forced open which is giving me about 500rpm extra lag, but I get a stable 0.55 bar boost curve. I need more spring pressure. Do the upgraded actuators have a larger diaphragms to allow the use of very heavy springs without massively increasing boost pressure. The springs worked great with the stock sized port.

306kw Thanks To Elite Automotive

Well my car was spiking from the DIY spring pressure of 10psi up to fuel cut pressure of 15psi with just a 3" and "super highflow cat" in the higher gears. -
Are there ways of boosting the car up to decent power without ford knowing about it?

How strong is the 06 Territory T engine? Is it the same as a XR6 T of the same year? Does it have better rods than the original XR6T? How many RWKW is the bottom end good for?

Who gives a sh*t? Its a stainless spring and will probably be fine. If it goes soft it will be fail safe as boost will go down not up, then I can fit another $2 spring in 2 years time when it goes soft. It has lasted for over a month so far. I have also made a DIY adjustable arm. I cut the rod and threaded each end then drilled out the non threaded part of old bolt and put a tap through it. So now I can adjust preload too. There are no design issues due to lack of flexibility compared to the alternative of purchasing a one spring $120 actuator. FWIW I just found these springs lying around at work and whacked one on and went for a drive. Boost was stable at 10psi (before boost spiking which is not the springs fault but the wastegate since it done it without the spring). I went to zero effort of finding springs. I bet if someone went to the effort they could find a range of springs which could easily be swapped for what ever boost level you wanted. T

Next is the 15psi actuator when I clip another spring on. Or just fit stiffer one. ← ← This mod should be good for 10 second quarter miles! Buy your 10 second power spring now for $100 + postage and handling. For a limited time only I will be including a random screw to weld to your stock actuator arm for 1 penny!

Solving Boost Spiking On The Gt3540
DennisRB30 replied to DennisRB30's topic in Forced Induction Workshop
is it sad that I read this stuff.. calculated the percentage difference in the port size.. then scrolled down and found this site... ...yes.. yes it is.. ← That calculator is awesome. I use it all the time. -

Solving Boost Spiking On The Gt3540
DennisRB30 replied to DennisRB30's topic in Forced Induction Workshop
Circumference! I missed that. What an odd way to describe the size increase. I guess if the guy doing the work says the new hole is only 1.9mm wider it sounds pretty pathetic that's still about a 15% increase in size though. Mine is like 65% bigger Its pretty much finished. http://www.math.com/students/calculators/s...rcle-solver.htm -
Good work. I could have used this info a few weeks ago see here. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30952 Looks like I saved $400 though
