My Xr6 Is Slow What Mods R Good - KEEPING IT N/A  

ka86

Exhaust, cams, chipped, good headers, port, tune etc. Google it as their a few places that have specific packages for the I6, there is a Mob in Melbourne, cant remember there name but thats just an example.

Paolo

I made mine to pretty good

You need 3:9 diff gears, cold air and full exhaust

I ran a 15.2 with massive tramp. Couldn't get it too the ground. 96Mph

look at cam packages

pm used DAZZLER351 he has a n/a xr6 which is reasonably quick.

What does a stock xr6 run and how much at the wheels if anyones knows

EUniqe

190kw quoted from manufacturer

To be honest, dont bother wasting the money.

Either get an XR6T or just live with it being slow, you will need to spend a shitload to get it going quick. Like a 15.2 as stated above, a stock 4ylc turbo can run quicker than that!

MR.STANG

i have a xr6t i want 2 do a n/a turbo is ezy 2 get power try 2 get something good out of a n/a is goin 2 b fun

MFC05

Agreed with you there, all aussie v8 and striagt 6 turbos are cheap as chips thesedays you would grab yourself a bargin !

rob_88_

Or just get all the stock xr6 turbo stuff and bolt it onto your n/a motor

LOF60

Well then be my guest, waste $10,000+ on your N/A and still not make more power than the stock XR6T.

Just a quick comparison too, my Typhoon runs a 13.2 stock as with just a flash tune on shit tyres. The price difference between my Typhoon and your XR6 n/a is about 20k. Spend that much money on your XR6 and you might get better than a 13.2, but i doubt it. I go spend 5-7k, and ill get low 12's.

Waste of money.

lol mitch i know of one xr6 doing 14.3 in shit weather and that has less than 1500 spend on it and thats an NA bf xr6 6speed auto and thats only full exhaust, underdrives, intake and flash tune.

good luck with getting superfast NA but u will get fast enough to surprize a few cars out there.

LOF60

Going from a 14.3 to a 13.2 with an NA motor is not a easy or cheap expense from that step further.

Good luck to you but, enjoy your over capitalized slow NA XR6.

Paolo

Its all too hard. I'm no longer going to bother.

BADEZ

i know it wouldnt be cheap and would take alot of work but would love to see an NA xr6 line u up and smoke ya lol or smoke a skyline lol

but as always turbos are an easy way to get speed and power, no matter how many mods u do turbo or forced induction of anykind will get u in the end

Paolo

Well said. Its not all about fully F6 Typhoon's

LOF60

Didnt say it was, just making a point its alot of money that will be need to be spent, just to go slow.

Paolo

Maybe he doesn't want another turbo car and exactly what the topic asked, was, how do I give my N/a abit more guts.

Nothing about what your talking about

Street Tuned

should have bought an Aurion man those things are surprisingly quick

but as said cams and a tune will get the best out of it

unlike JDM cars they dont respond as well to an exhaust and intake as the stock one is pretty good

summoner

modify your T and don't bother with the N/A.. ok sure it is your money to waste as you want but it just isn't worth it sometimes.

youbUTEy

obvious!!!!
sell the coon chariot and get something better

MR.STANG

its not about putin it over the quarter i just want something fast on the streets and when the cops look at it and it goes over the pits or something ther is no bov,cooler,zorst all that shit just a fukin fast n/a bit of a sleeper i think and at the end of the day its just money

EUniqe

haha chill out everyone, if he wants a naturally aspirated engine, why cant he have one?

just because they have less power doesnt mean that it has no benefits.

hondacr24

yea my mates got 1 of those sport pack aurions... and they are quite fast.. i raced a vy ss ute in it and got beaten by about a length.. but yer.. there pretty quick

zorak

Very easy to get over the 'cop magnet' image. Take off all 'turbo' badging, paint the cooler black and get a good quality plumb back BOV. Keep it us fully legal as possible and you are fine. remember there are a million and one other XR6s on the road.

As for the NA path I would suggest intake/exhaust/diff gears/tune before moving onto cams. Also I'd be looking at a gearbox build and converter.

Before deciding on going down the path of changing cams it would be wise to think about if your budget stretches to headwork, good valvetrain parts (springs, valves etc) as if you are pulling the head you might aswell do this while its out.

Set the thing up well to start and if you get bored with the power at least you have a good base for the FI. Good luck and keep us all updated

andrew12a

have you seen the conrods out of those engines? not very sturdy better off doing a transplant with some bolt ons and have some reliability.
in comparison ive seen an auto ba run a high 15 completly stock. leather interior and all

but if you have to, just settle with a decent exhaust and proper cold air intake even though after a month or so you'll most likely be over the small amount of power you made and revert back to a turbo conversion or throw wads or cash at it to get decent power in comparison to turbo conversion.

my opinion that is

EUniqe

kpm autos cam pack cost 2.5 grand and makes it 180katw. not exactly a small amount of power, and costs less than a turbo conversion :S

summoner

see.. it is all relative, to me that is a small amount of power..

but yet, a cam kit would work wonders with all the other proper supporting mods.

danny40

i bet you dont have a xr6 turbo, because if you did you wouldnt be waisting your time with a fucking taxi.
why cant you have a bov cooler and exhaust?
just dont be a dumb shit and have a atom bov, a fucking truck cooler taking up most of the front end of your car and a 5 inch exhaust that sound like a f-18 on take off.
you can get a xr6 turbo running 12's and still look stock and still be street legal.
but if you want a fast n/a get a V8.

MR.STANG

get a v8 got 1 had shits loads of them have a xr6t will get pics of it if u want 2 c it big deal i want 2 do my xr6 n/a if u have got something 2 say bout the topic than go 4 it if not fuck off

MYB16

Do it. Capa may have a n/a option for the I6. If you could get close to 200rwkw then that would be good street-able power. Probably not that quick down the 1/4 but how gives a fuck.

Silly_Sora

I'm having this problem with a friend at work told him to get a turbo and he gets a n/a .T hat 190kw us that at the motor cause he was told atw which i think is a load of b/s but anyways good luck with the n/a 6 .

MYB16

It is 190kw at the fly, not at the wheels. Factory power is ALWAYS stated at the fly.

BADEZ

thats a crap power output for the money u spent, mates BF xr6 pumped out 175kw atw with only full exhaust, underdrive pulley and f6 intake and now he has a flash tune on it so he is hoping to push it to the 200kw mark
