TRNR 747 Member 2 Member For: 12y 6m 7d Posted 28/09/11 12:45 PM Share Posted 28/09/11 12:45 PM Hey guys I am looking to buy an xr6 n/a but I want to know the real kW are for the BA, BF, FG XR6.Ford say:BA-182 kWBF-190 kWFG-195 kWBut I have seen on the forum people saying that and FG will only get 180 kW or something like that on a dyno so I just want to find out what the really kW are and not what Ford say the kW are.Thanks guysP.S. I am on my P's at the moment that is why I am not getting an XR6T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those figures would be the average, more to the point the average at the Flywheel , when people are saying they are only getting 180 that's probably at the wheels.

Loss through driveline from friction (heat) and whatnot, less if it's a manual though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
