Power Struggle

[envyxr]

So ive sold my T and for the last few moths I have been getting around in a turbo diesel Nissan navara.After hoping out of a 400+rwhp XR6T my wife calls it the turtle(on account of it being so slow).Now dont get me wrong I have enjoyed hill climbing and playing in the mud in this rig and I got it cheap,real cheap, but the opportunity has arose to swap it for a BA MKII XR6 N/A,now this jigger looks the part and has some go fast goodies such as crow cams,exhaust so what sort of power should I expect from this beast,I know its going to be nothing like my T was and I dont excpect it to be just wondering if around 200-250HP would be the mark ,what do ya reckon.

There not "go fast goodies" there just parts.

Without diverting to an N/A bashing thread like I always do let me just say this, I'm guessing you sold your T to save money right? Don't go and waste that money an N/A.

doesnt make sense why you sold the T in the first place, only to now want to go back to a falcoon n/a

making more power on n/a's is a waste of money imo.

I dont know why some of you guyys bother replying to post we all need to do things that may sound silly to but that is life.

If you cant say something to answer the question take a hike.

I have had to do it aswell now drive a bf future does that make me strupid no it means that I have had to make some decisions in life.

As for the question at hand I have seen a n/a ba xr6 tuned with full exhaust edit and cold air intake put out 235 kw's at the flywheel so with cams and more tuning I would think there is more in there.

So no not as much as the turbo but still some great power for what it is.

Thought the whole point was to help members? Which I was doing by trying to save him some time and money.

Thanks for you opinions lads,the reason for selling my T was that I needed cash fast... So problem solved I done what I had to and bought a much cheaper car to get around.Now I only paid $6500 for this 4WD and like I said before the opportunity has come around to swap it for a car worth twice as much.Should I just put up with the 4WD or seize an opportunity to get into another falcon albeit an N/A.

[seduced]

Keep the 4wd and wait for the opportunity to get into a T again. Or even a newer xr6 na.

I wouldnt bother with a modded NA. Hard to re-sell and for all the noise and drama, you're not really going any faster. Plus BA's are long in the tooth these days, I would avoid them and save up for a used FG xr6.

[Guest XR09]

If you are going to make 6 large on the 4wd then sell it as fast as you can. that's 6 large closer to the T if you choose to go back down that path.

You will get stuff all trading a 4wd in on a T, or a newer n/a.

4wd = High running costs and maintenence. Specially if you play with them in the bush. Crap to drive. Noisey. Don't stop or go hard. No more room inside than the XR sedan.

XR n/a = 1,000,000k's of trouble free reliable driving with only regular oil changes. 20,000k's out of a set of tires.

Don't touch the motor. Do the suspension, stereo and save the bucks till you can be back in a T or later model n/a.

Trade up, a BA mk2 is still worth around the 15k mark. And there still not exactly slugs with especially with cams and an exhaust.

Just slam it on 19s/20s and they look sweet
