ECU, CAI, Exhaust, extractors, suspension, etc.

turbo!!!

The I6 by ford is quick. The stock xr6 will beat the stock windsor. They'll even beat stock 5L Holdens.

2nd that. A mates EB (non tickford) keeps up with my 5L. apparently its stock (must be one of those freaks) both cars are manual, and more often than not, his car is in front after the traffic light duels!

performance wise if you take weight into consideration i think perhaps a 50cc scooter or something ?? :rofl:

sumbody correct me if im wrong as i got told this by a ford mechanic when i did work experience(dont ask why i did w.e at ford,lol)
the standard eb falcon came in a few engines, 120-25kw for gli model(slow ass motor!) and 3.9litre mpi 139kw for fairmont and s pack/xr6(cant remember if xr models started in eb or ed)...

i cant see how a 139kw 6 could beat a 165kw v8...they had enuf trouble beating vn/vp's v6's with onli 125-27kw's

plzz explain!!!

i cant see any stock xr6 beating a n xr8/ss of same year... the late xr6 turbo is the onli factory six i no of that beats v8's...like i said b4 sumbody correct me if im wrong


VSCLARION4U i would just make the car breathe better as stock is restrictive and just do a nice big service to clean it all up and smoothen it out and i rekon ur in for a good chance...wouldnt be surprised if u beat him if u get a good take off

EB started the 4.0 litre era.
EB to EL falcon XR6'S had approx 165kw standard, AU very similar i think.
The EA falcons S Pack Muliti point injection had 139kw. Even these in the 5 speed pack age are bloody quick.
The XR6'S, i hate to admit it, if driven right can beat most 5 litre v8s, unless maybe a HSV engine.

Wheels magazine April 1989 says this
EA Falcon S pac MPI manual 0-100=7.8, 1/4 mile=15.5

VN 5 liter executive (manual or auto not sure) 0-100=7.0, 1/4 mile=15.1

VN 5 liter Calais Auto 0-100=8.0, 1/4 mile=15.5

I read of stock MPI EA and EB's manuals running 15.3 or a little less these days with good tires on them, a manual VN series one would keep up to one to 100, but yeah, a VS is going to need some help

 

[vsclarion4u]

yeah. this car aparently has 161kw!!. so it aint no slug. would chippin a vs to take it up to 160kw give him a run???? :driving:

Sometimes you just have to say, Ford sixes are pretty fast , they had to be be back then because Ford Australia went weak in the knees for a while and never had a V8 during that time
