building a 2L 8v for turbo?

[peedman]

A couple of hard launches and the 8v gearbox is most likely to go first before anything.

So have u started to build one yet?

good point!
but the XR6T does have low comp pistons i think

Oh right, my bad

There are a fair few 500hp + cars that have been running since the car came out in 02'! You just can't be raw cubic inches mated with forced induction!

very true, but unfortunately I'm pretty sure we can't fit a 240T barra into the pogo. we'll we could. but it would costly and impractical.


mind you. a 1000Hp pogo???

One day, when I'm really really rich....

Some crazy guy has put two r32 motors in a Lupo, so anything is possible in to a Polo.

Or if you ever want to extravagantly want to launder money ! You wouldn't be the first either...

You've gotta love the Barra 240T though, a chip and an a properly set up LSD can run high ten's! I'll definately consider a turbo if end up getting my Bora, 350 at the wheel hp... hmnnn tasty...

you would never think though that the 2L 8v would have some much potential and is so easy to tune when everyone goes for a 16v?! when you have to spend $2000-ish on a 16v why wouldnt you spend a little extra and do a turbo set up for more power and fun?!

Valver havent got your reply yet mate

You really have no idea what you are talking about do you??

[Jarred]

yea, you kinda need a bit more than a chip mate, mind you throw 10 large at an XR6T and you'll get close... (to tens)

You should have read the Performance ford write up for it a few years back... they built a 10.9 second xr6t for 8 grand running the stock turbo. They got it running 12's without the LSD, and after tweaking around with it got that time...

But then again, I'm pretty sure that was an advertorial type write up, I doubt that level of expertise could be gotten for the amount they said they paid.
