I want to start a ford turbo six project and wanted to know which is better a BA or BF engine wise (I heard they are different) also im wanting to make 400+rwkw whats the best mods to use to acheive this power level and how strong will the engine need to be. and I know there is alot of bias on this issue but is it better to go auto or manual??

cheers guyz look forward to hearing back from anyone

Mate two posts asking the same thing... you posted this in the 400rwkw section, just see what others have done, if you can't find your answer here theres something wrong..

Auto or manual? Manuals will read more power than autos with the same mods, less drivetrain loss.. Whats better, that's a personal choice, what do u like better? you gonna take the car to the drag strip? A 6sp manual will need a decent clutch and the auto if a ZF might budget to strengthen it, but with the new tuning available maybe they can be tuned to take more power. If a BTR (4 speed) auto, not much can be done to hold 400rwkw's and be reliable, again look at what others have done and go from there..

oh sh*t sorry about the double post didnt mean to do it in the other section aswell.. must of hit the wrong button lol. and as for wat I prefer I love driving manuals but I had heard someone say once an auto will handle greater power alot easier than a manual but if just getting a stronger manual will do ill def be goin manual. and it will be getting taken to the strip mostly

It's the other way round actually, manual should hold more power with a good clutch behind it. Go the manual if that's what you want.

[STAINLESS again plz]

If you get your period monthly, get an auto.

If you want to go slower, get a manual..
