Ba Xr6T Into The 400 Club

[matt036]

Gday mate, nah just factory 6 speed trans and motor internally is stock as a rock except for valve springs. My engine is a bit of a freak though it seems as when I did my 98 tune it made 360rwkw relativly easy without leaning on it hard at all. But I decided to go e85 for bigger power as its a little more forgiving and touch wood its been good to date. Biggest thing is if your choosing to push a ba motor is to give it every fighting chance so all good parts and going exhaust, intake and cooler and decent fuel system and a quality tuner, my fuel system setup alone which was injectors, surge, pump, reg and braided lines was $2300 all up.

The motor must still be taking it as last night I gave it a 2nd gear roll on and it gripped up for once and then bang!

Is Tt a cv joint? I didn't know BA got 6 speed auto... Mine is only a 4speed so I think my engine cannot take as much of a beating like yours...

BA didn't get 6 speed auto.

[matt036]

As old mate said its a 6 speed manual. Only bf series 1 is when they started the 6 speed auto.

It was only runnin 18psi on the 430kw e85 and 19psi on the 98 tune. It is overboosting at the moment to about 20psi now though as I installed a new turbo core and the actuator preload has increased.
