Conversion xr6t's NA to T conversion

ignore all of us pricks. We just trying to work out if you can take the banter.

As mentioned, there is a lot of reading available on this forum.

 

The BA motors are weaker than the others. They generally make it to 300rwkw with basic mods.

When you want to go over those figures, then things get interesting.

 

now unless you want a project car and you want to do all the work of building an engine, you are better off selling the BA and buying an BF MK2 and modding that.

it will work out cheaper and you will have less headaches.

 

have fun and enjoy the skids.

Thanks guys it’s just I already have these cars and have 2 years to build my xr6t is written off and my bros standard xr6 now my motor is only at 135thou I am wanting to build the engine over time not rich at all just trying to make it to the track with my dream I will just look around on the site if you guys are over answering questions but are the only difference between ba and mk2 bf ?...valves, valve springs, con rods ,and trans ..?

Sometimes when Iam asleep I dream.....

[Conversion xr6t]

So yes I want to build my engine always dreamed off it wen I sleep ? I mainly need to know is the block the same as the bf ??

[k31th]

the "block" is, yes, but the connecting rods change in BF2 (June 2006 onwards) to the same ones used in the BA F6's which are slightly stronger than BA. Nothing else changes, that I know of.

 

The BF2 XR6T also gets a ZF 6-speed gearbox, BA F6 and BF 1/2 XR6T/F6 have the T56 in the manual versions.

So should I get rid off my 4sp or build it and thankyou I like your answers 

[k31th]

the 4speed BTR can be built cheaper than other options and requires constant maintenance to run at over 400rwkw... but if you want to go with an old-school tried and true method of powerglide or th400 then you can spend between 8 and 15k getting one built and installed.

[Conversion xr6t]

Do you know what the built 4sp can do and still remain healthy ??

 

My friends dad works at kpm I know they know what there doing but I’ve also been told bad things has any one here heard good or bad about them
