building a 2L 8v for turbo?

[FknDubbin]

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.

XR6T's always came with an LSD so i dont know where thats coming from. My best mate works at Nizpro which are XR6T specialists and reckons to run 10's you will need 300+rwkw plus a hi-stall converter. Nizpro's Stage 2 kit for 330rwkw consists of the following and costs $8250

Increased boost to a still low 1 Bar
(Note: that due to the severe intake restrictions with the factory product, that in stock trim the turbocharger is working much harder than the low .5 Bar factory pressure indicates. In fact, in an effort to overcome the inherent pressure drop it must run at close to 0.8 Bar)
• NizEdit and custom tune
• Nizpro Hi-flow injectors
• Custom cast alloy rocker cover garnish
• Custom cast alloy intake plenum
• Custom intercooler hoses
• Cast alloy throttle body adaptor
• Cast alloy thermostat housing
• K&N air filter
• Fibreglass air box
• Inlet Manifold Studs
• Heat shrink
• Oil breather hose
• PCV hose
• Hose clamps
• Numerous cable ties
• Odyssey battery
• Battery box
• Battery cable
• Battery cable clips
• Large intercooler
• Several bolts, washers, T-pieces, loom extensions and earth clip
• Inlet Manifold, Intercooler, Intake Manifold and Battery tray nuts
• Brass fittings for plenum intake pipe, breather return hose and thermostat housing

And then you still need to think about putting the power to the ground. Apparently their 1200hp XR6T never ran a 10 cos it couldnt get the power down.

10 g is a bit steep innit wabit? Through some sources and cheaper parts (turbp, piping etc) I was thinking it'd be closer to 5G ..?
