robtek Member 26 Member For: 14y 1m 4d Gender: Male Posted 02/09/12 10:12 AM Posted 02/09/12 10:12 AM Hey boys,Back to Ford, picked up my BA 2003 XR6 turbo on the weekend and am in love. Went from a VT S Supercharged, some mods were full 2.5" twin exhaust, 2.5" high flow cats, 10psi pulley, 1.98 rockers, rebuilt top end, rebuilt blower, MACE POD intake, etcPrevious to that had EA fairmont, spent around $6K on mods, went nice, had usuals like super low king springs, original FTR rims, lumpy cam, advanced timing, 2.5" exhaust, 3.45 LSD, etc.. then got knocked off one night in the city..never saw it againNew toy specs:- 119K on the clock- Sunroof, full leather- Aftermarket cooler (not sure which type? how to check?)- K&N filter- APS Phase I unichip (online says meant to be a 300kw package? how can I tell if the injectors were changed or they're standard?)- X3 tuner, currently running 13psi, has 3 settings, 8psi, 10psi and 13psi- T5 box in it (the clutch seems a bit hard to push in, is this a heavy duty clutch or the spring or something needs to be replaced? Need to push the clutch all the way in to floor and then it grips the gear hard) > Yes I know the T56 is better but that might be later stages down the track..- Stock exhaust- The guy I bought it off, bought it 3 years ago with the mods already done to it- Came with all service books etc, had an independant mech go over the whole car and it's in good nickQ's:1. How many KW and rwKW you guys reckon its got? I'll get it on the dyno in a few weeks time2. The clutch seems a bit hard to push in, is this a heavy duty clutch or the spring or something needs to be replaced? Need to push the clutch all the way in to floor and then it grips the gear hard, any easy way to tell?3. How can I tell if the injectors were changed or they're standard?4. Should the engine be missing on 13psi with stock injectors as not enough fuel being pumped in?Took a mate for a spin and he reckons it's got around 270kwCheers boys, look forward to joining the next cruise around Melb...Big Rob

Injectors should be blue. Stock clutch is pretty stiff. Looks nice, good base.

Given both pipes come back up the driver side its not a stage 2-3 of any of the big ones. So most likely F6, Monza or Plaz replacement cooler

Bellato Legacy Donating Member 2,713 Member For: 15y 11m 13d Posted 03/09/12 09:51 AM Posted 03/09/12 09:51 AM Nah leave the bumper on mate and just get a pic front on and maybe from the top of the cooler too. You'll be able to tell straight away from the pics
