Blue is on 98, next line is same boost but on e85 & then obviously more boost for the next 2.

Who's the engine builder?

Mate I've read bits and pieces of the thread and the best thing you can do is delete it or ignore it. Let Jamie do his job and take his advice. He's built the fastest and some of the toughest xrs in aus not to mention just about every make and brand available on aus roads, the crap ive read for the most part will just complicate matters for ya. If ya want it done right spend the money, take the time and make it happen. Too many opinions only make it worse rather than taking advice from the best.

Car was written off, got parted out & engine ended up in stealth another 1000hp th400 powered fpt built and tuned car

If u say ls mick I'll disown u lol

Thanks fellas we promise to not disappoint

Got an offer I couldn't refuse and all torque do great work. Eventually we hope to get it all inhouse so in the future if we do have issues we can in and out as quick as possible and really just the next evolution in learning

Cheers Patty, we pick up the base engine for it tomorrow, we'll get started on the crank and block mods pretty much straight away and measure up a few things to see how far we can push as far as comp and then order our pistons to suite. We're all excited to get goin and see how far we can go with the old taxi

To be continued.... http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90344-jet066-v20-will-live-again/#entry1538720

We've sort of started so as good of a time as any I spose plus I like to share I get excited and stuff lol Makes me pull my finger out as well, I'm back out to work in less than a month so have to make the most of what I've got left to get abit done. A gasaxe and a grinder have my name in them first up

Nah no need to complicate things at this point, the next engine is designed on some really simple principles and a few additions to make sure it lives up to what we're gonna throw at it.

Yeah it got shared around a fair bit on fb and even had a buyer for it at one stage but it fell through at the last minute which looking back at it was all for the best. I'm really looking foward to doin it all over again and just lucky I get to do it with great mates and with the support of some of the best in the business

For those that have followed through the years we own and built Jet066 which was the first 8 sec irs b series and still the fastest street driven xr6t. Abit after the Xmas we parted it out and had contemplated selling the shell as well but after removing the last of its components we realised we were a little too attached to it to see this happen & perhaps we had a little unfinished business to attend to. I love racing and love the car but my want for a quick streetcar is all bar gone so the logical decision was made, why not take it to the next level at the track and make a more dedicated track car where we don't have to sacrifice/compramise things like you do in a street/drag combo. The build is a joint venture between Forced Performance & Tuning & will have the usual support that we've had through the years from 6boost, Golebys parts & a new member All torque engine machining who will be sponsoring/supporting our engines. Plenty of thanks already to Prasac (paulie) for much needed direction on a few things, I'm sure there will be plenty more thanks to come in the following months as we progress. The car will still be Barra powered but with a few things we've learnt over the over yrs, it'll be purely based around the needs to keep a big hp track based engine in one piece. It'll be converted to a 9in 4link to allow us to tuck a descent tyre under it with all work done in house at fpt as well as all the fabrication. It'll be haltech controlled & we'll be lightening the car as much as possible without compromising on structural stability but apart from that I won't elaborate too much yet but let the pictures do the story telling as we start making big progress. If time permits we hope to make inroads in the next wk or so, we look forward to sharing the progress as we have over the last few yrs with the original build. Thanks John & FPT

My only issue with 2nd chances with shops like this is they let it out like this in the first place. If the general public can pick issues up like this then why aren't the supposed professionals, unfortunately it's not the first time we've seen results like this from them when others seem to get it right the first time round. Ya lucky op ya have plenty of good options in seq to rectify it

It is for sale but that'll be the last thing I'll buy :/

7yrs plus later and I still have the same old BF. Started off as the dealers personal demo car then to be our family car now aus biggest, baddest & fastest street legal XR

Sold it years ago and haven't heard back since

Honestly I've achieved more than I've ever wanted with this car so I feel I've got what I need out of it. It would be never ending with pushing it with fuel, Tyre, weight and track conditions so could go on forever so now is as good of a time as ever to put it out there and let someone else take the reigns. Sure I could just park it up and drive it when I'm eventually home but it deserves more than that so hopefully someone takes it and makes the most of it and uses it as the true all rounder it is

After over 7yrs of owing and building the big girl we've decided it's time to move on. Jets on the market for 65k nego with everything needed to replicate and improve on what we've already done. The last week we've pulled out the engine and box and checked over and freshened both up so I could be confident im selling it in a1 condition and so it'll only get better/faster when it leaves my hands. Until it does though we'll be taking it back out for a few more passes cause it would be just criminal to have it sit there or just doing the speed limit on the highway

Yeah has big tubs, wheelie bars & weighs fck all so makes it all possible

At this point it's only 8.20 as far as we know, a lot of the ones that have gone sub 8s are 1.5s so different. The biggest thing we've got goin for us is the lack of weight and the huge tyre. The car has previously 1.1 60ft so will definitely help the cause. We have multiple 1j engine's already so we won't be scared to lean on them and break Em if that's what it takes

Yeah when the weathers abit better and we're not planning to race for sure

Haha if it's raining I'll be curled up on the couch with a 1000 beers not trying to keep jet off power poles, will be bad enough this arv when I have to drive back to brissy if it's hammering down. It's not me or the car in the rain it's every other spanner

Would be good but if it's not raining we'll be racing at the qdrc meet and I'll be back at home if not. I start work in toowoomba next wk so I'll be up here more often. You get nothing trent santa told me you've been a naughty boy

Yeah the little blue one. He's been the bad influence for the direction of the build. It's a joint project between fpt, golebys and me of coarse. I didn't need any encouragement for jet I've been the bad influence if anything with pushing them to want it to go faster. It's been a good exercise for us and the fact that I've enjoyed racing so much but knowing the limitations of the falcon pushed me to want to go down the alternate route with the little Wagon. It's everything the falcon can never be, light and have huge tyres under it
