What will this run??

[dirty]

Hi All,
I have transplanted an XR6T engine into my BA Wagon, and ready to hit the track to see what she can run.

Engine is stock, have done a 4" exhaust, used my C4 trans, and a dominator 3000 stally. Will be on ET Streets, but final ratio is tall, stock wagon job.

Made 260RW KW on dyno, any idea what it might run on the quarter?

Depends on heaps of factors - have you still got the cat? If not, it will go into limp mode and you will run a 17 sec time. If it's tuned properly and running well it could run a 12.
If the 260rwkw figure is right then a high 12 should be achievable.

[Grippy]

Has it been tuned? Take it to the track and have some fun. With the stall and ET's she should run a 12.something if set up right with a good tune.

What does it weigh ? Low 12's or high 11's if stripped out hard !

I cant answer your question, but id love to see some pictures of this beast!

Hey, it went 12.63 on the last run of the night, pretty stoked with that. Yeah it has a CPV tune, thanks Dave the tune is spot on!

Will get some pics up tonight.

what diff ratios you running?

[dirty]

Pretty Inocent, just a grocery getter.





Sorry guys, no photos from the runs, I might be able to track some down from other guys there.

Cheers

At present it is the stock diff, think they are about 3.2?? It will 60' better once I get a handle on the launch, having probs getting stall up high enough without pushing through stage. We will get there.

Thanks, that was the plan

[Stazza_Brendan]

I was in tower on weekend at Palmyra. Definately a sleeper.

A ute diff with LSD and better ratio will do wonders.
Also heard you are on stock intercooler. Definitely bin that and upgrade come summer.

Put up a build thread in the B-series section

Hi Stazza, yeah I have a 9" being done to go in it and will lower the ratio a bit, but I want it to be drivable long distances and with the C4 it is on 2800 at 100klm now so i can't go too far. The tyres I used were borrowed, I have some coming from the states that are lower profile and will make it better also.

Are you the "guy in the tower that sells intercoolers" I heard about? If so we need to talk, PM me your number and I will give you a bell.
Cheers

Adam told me you were chasing an intercooler. I just upgraded my setup with a new cooler, intake and plenum so i had my old gear to sell. But, someone bought it last night sorry.
Still plenty of kits around if you look on ebay. I bought my current kit brand new in box 2nd hand $500 cheaper then new.

Only 16mph in the 2nd half tells me something's not right . 260 should have run at least 112mph + . Should also be picking up over 20mph in the deepend . Not a bad starting point

Yeah it was first meeting, so lots to sort from here but we are happy with this as a base. Remember the wagon is a heavy sucker, they tip the scale at 1920KG, lot more than the sedan, and constant 108MPH times regardless of the fluctuating 60' would indicate that until we make more power the times can only improve by what ever we gain at the launch. That 12.63 was a back-off run, all full tilt runs were 108mph.

I have no boost control yet either, so there is a bit to gain there when I get around to it

Aiming for 11's by Christmas, thats the goal.

Update for you lads -

We had a little break while I got a new tailshaft made, got it back out to the track last month.

Haven't touched the engine, have 9" now with 3.7 ratio - Ran 12.018 at Benaraby Raceway! So close to an 11, getting there LOL

[dieseltrain79]

Great work! What mph ? Guess my 1st guess was close , hehe . Very high 11 or bottom 12 , and ya got it .

[Road Games]

So much win ...

Thanks guys, was 111mph, can't wait to run in cooler weather, was pretty warm that day, this Friday night at Palmyra might be the go ��
