Ba Xr6T Into The 400 Club

Yeah cheers. How much did u put in? What are you thinking of going to?

[matt036]

The turbo 6 speeds take 4.8L of oil which you gotta remove the reverse light sensor and fill from there. Was thinkin bout goin the penrite pro gear 70w-75. Ive heard people that have run it have noticed a difference in box noise quietening down and shifts no different. When I first got the car it had transmax z in it like everyone recommends and rollover noise was just as bad with that as well.

Yeah I've always run 4.8. Thought you might of done something different.

[matt036]

nah nothing different, just pushin those skinny rods further then they should be going lol

Skinny rod reppin

[matt036]

^^ this guy knows, I put it down the skinny rods have less reciprocating mass therefore allow the engine to rev easier therefore being easier on the rods lol

[MattyP]

Love that logic

Was there a big difference going from one of joshs t/b relocation to the plenum?

More down low or up top or slightly better all round on similar boost.

[matt036]

Sorry bout the late reply, this comment is probably a bit redundant lol but changing from tbr to plenum only gained around 8kw without playing with the tune. However when we started adding timing and boost etc it responded better with the plenum but we were out of turbo. We could have played with actuators and preload etc to get a bit more out of it but only being a ba I didnt really worry about it.

just a tad late... gotta say, love that there's a BA manual running 11's around here still

Any news or have you just been flogging the R1 around instead of driving the falcon? that post sounds a bit past-tense-y... don't tell me you got rid of it?
