Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I Know this has come up before but I was prompted to ask again when my mate flew past me with his chipped BA turbo. Is anyone doing this conversion yet. I what more power and less fuel use, like we all do and am weighing up all options including a new petrol Prado (god forbid) currently running duel fuel EFI 4.2 with 334,000ks and its gutless and thirsty...all suggestions welcome, as I'd rather spend a bit of money on the old girl than a shit load of money on a new car, cos it's pretty well fitted out.

How about a 308 into her or a 350 chev, Gas it and be done

fast, powerful

V8 EFI and gas it.

454 big block and decent size blower on it..

Not sure about fuel usage but it cruise past ya friends BA

The Ba would cream all of the above engines .

Yeah ur probly right i love the XR6T they hook in my uncles BA goes hard with only 10psi

Rick.

how about a bf typhoon engine still has a meaty turbo on it and produces a hell good ammount of power with some semi respecable consumption levels, or the boss 290 v8 ???? both will fit

ba would cream u then go around the block and cream u again. efi v8 does not produce much more power than an efi 4.2 patrol six

XR6 Turbo. And get a NIZPRO kit from sydney. We have an XR6 come into work occassionally with a stage 2 kit and its got about 330kw at the wheels.

brunswick diesel 6.5L
although i would love to see the BA motor in a GQ

umm nizpro is in melbourne and there kits move the power\torque range higher in the rpm.

i would leave it stock. like 260kw is not enough already.

try and do it with fords auto trans to.

would make for one sick gq.

Ummm, 240kw at the flywheel........330kw at the wheels

I know which I'd prefer

cloughy the kit moves the power high up in the rev range, power delivery from std is quite usable but once flashed u gotta ring their neck to get em where they like to be, and imo not very useful offroad, imagine a greasy clay hill where you need ur eng at around 3g just to get some good power when in the mean time all your doing is spinnin the bags due to loss of traction

who cares! its awesome driving a car with that much power onroad! And i could've sworn they were in sydney...

I find that very hard to beleave,when nizpro made the 1000hp xr6t it had more torque at 2000rpm than the std xr6t made at any rev range and at 3000rpm it made close to 1000nm.
You'd have to stuff the tune up big time to loose all its low end torque,I wouldnt think soft ware upgrade would do that.

yep deranitly go the xr6t engine and the 6 speed auto or manual. finally someoone who has seen the light to stop using stupid overated commodore engines

australias fastest xr6t. not a typhoon but a xr6t. all they did was add a apus kit or somthin g like that on it and it beat lamboghinis and all the fast exotic cars. the falcon was the fastest at 307kmp/h

Dellow does a conversion for the EB-EL 4L six into the GQ an SnortPerformance does a sick turbo kit for that same engine.
You should be able to put all that together with a microtech and have a reliable 350-400rwhp for about $8000.00 I should imagine.

That's what gear ratio's are for

I have a BF XR6T, I tune, I bought it to get to know the software better as I tune them. Tune only, 245 rw kW on a Dyno dynamics dyno in shoot 8 or 228 rw kW on my DTS dyno with a 6 speed auto. BA's have crap valve springs and BA BF have crap rods up to May 06 where they were fitted with typhoon rods. Thats about all you can make std. as injectors and pump are maxed out. Ive tuned Nizpro kits and there is no loss of bottom end. In fact when you tune these you bring the boost on earlier as its contrlled through the ECU and it makes them heaps better down low, Ford program them to drive like a naturally aspirated car with boost that goes up very linear against RPM. 300 rw kW is very achievable with injectors, intercooler, fuel pump, actuator, and valve springs if you have a BA.
