hey yo_stock,
the auii 220kw xr8's came in about may 2001 i think it was. They're identified by a small 220 badge on the bootlid. I'm sure some of the other guys can give you more info.

Mid June 2001 as I have June built and it is a 200kw
The 220kw can be easily identified with the "tickford" logo embossed on the throttle body which is the 70mm one , all the AU 185 & 200 XR8's had the 65mm TB on them and ofcourse different heads as well on the 220
Some had the 220 badge on the back (Rebel XR8 did) BUT alot did not.
I think the AU3 started in Sept 01

Same heads with larger valves, some mild throat blending, some rough inlet port matching. I believe the lower inlet was also roughly port matched to the heads.

Not to mention utes introduced the 200 and 220 engines at different times to the sedans.
