Green Goblin Member 31 Member For: 8y 2m 14d Posted 02/02/16 11:40 AM Share Posted 02/02/16 11:40 AM By 2005 BA2 XR6T has done 370,000 km and still goes like brand new. I've had it 9 years this year and done about 300k of that 370k myself. She's on her second turbo due to the original getting compressor droop at 250k, but aside from that it gets regular engine and Trans servicing and is still going strong. At 500k I'm planning new valve springs and probably a timing chain and then a flash up to 270kw I think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting at 110km/h on course roads (as above, Nullarbor) is like being in a noise factory. 20s too right? that is probably not helping either But yeh, I take back my comment since I've had my suspension put it, would not recommend for long trips no more lol Keeping on topic, I'm at roughly 137,000kms (2008)...finally using the mrs car as daily so only doing like less than 10,000kms per year now Edited 03/02/16 01:53 AM by PTR_NITRO_FG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 500k I'm planning new valve springs and probably a timing chain and then a flash up to 270kw I think. Is this maybe the highest XR6T that gets a mention? I noticed Philtaxi commented with more but not sure if that's his taxi or an XR6T? Mines now on 260,000 odd kms, late 07 BFii. 320rwkw (DynoDynamics) on LPG and largely due to doing the suspension sometime ago (Bilstiens, all superpro bushes, 2 rate up king springs etc) it still drives better than it did when got it at 100,000kms, and a I feel better than newer FG XR6T's or G6ET's. Bar the brakes and engine response it's drive/ride/feel is more like the bosses new FGX XR8. Finally Ford got some reasonable suspension in these things stock. What caused your turbo to go at 250k? Mine still seems to feel the same as at 100,000km as far as noise, free spin and play goes. I did remove the turbo oil filter/clogger thingy at 100,000km so not sure if that's helped? It does seem that these things will steam on for many km's if serviced well. I change 10-40 nulon synth every 10,000km, I'd do it sooner if it was on Petrol, but LPG is better for oil and engine life. Part of me wants to sell it to move onto other things, another part wants to see just how many kms an Aussie built car that can run a low 12 at 116mph with probably about 500 engine hp can do.
