    In this episode it's time to test how much our XR6 has changed. Will it change Andrew's opinion of the car? Will it be fun? Is it quicker? Can it drift? What's the plan now? all this is answered.

    I find it quite interesting, that with 440KG removed from the car, it still runs the same 1/4 mile time as standard full trim BA XR6T do.
    I wonder if that comes down to some of that calculations the car does for torque management. Hmmmm
    What could be done with just opening up the ECU... (For one, you could scrap the ICC and dashboard then by simply rewiring the OBD2 port and turning PATS off...

      it ran 15.0 @96 stock as probably had wastegate spring go soft and run less boost or blocked cat
      0-100 time dropped 1.5 seconds but quarter only a second and mph didnt go up much. This is due to huge wind resistance from drag over 100km/h.

    This xr6 turbo with so much weight reduction should of performed so much better. 0-100 in these stock from factory was about5.8 to 6 seconds. And they are getting 5.5 with all that weight reduction. Obviously this car is a bomb that’s why the owner offered it to them for 3.5 k, it’s obviously had the bags thrashed out of it. The fg xr6 turbo would of been interesting to see how it performed with the weight reduction and that it has the smaller turbo which spools quicker would of been crazy. Ba-bf xr6ts were making 188kw at the wheels by memory. Fg turbo 250-255kw at the wheels standard. flash tune and cold air intake, injectors fuel pump looking at 300kw with the weight reduction and smaller turbo would be really interesting to compare to the mini euro fast turbo cars that have the 4 cylinder turbos. The owner who got 3.5 k is laughing. This thing is that clapped out no one would buy it except these guys lol.
