XR6T into GQ conversion

[taslucas]

Should have a look at bigrigs members ride thread. He's getting some power out of the old tb42.

How many ks do ya get out of the xr6 before major rebuilds? Are they a very long lasting engine? What sort of kw's and torque would you be looking at, at the wheels on 33" tyres?

300kW should be no problem.

Geez that would be tough!
Is that what they put out in a falcon?

A stock one could put that out in a Falcon with just a tune. Some boys are getting 800kW out of them. Now that would be fun in a Patrol!

Started the conversion today, motors almost out.
Decided to go full BA electrics, so out goes almost all the Patrols wiring and in will go all the BA looms and Electronic's.

I would imagine they would last every bit as long as any other BA if not flash tuned. I know the Taxis do over 500000 before rebuilds and you see non turbo motors on ebay for sub $300 accasionally so rebuilds are probably the non economic way of doing things.
I would be more than happy with around 180kw. I am probably droping the boost control from the ECU anyway and fixing the boost at 5psi max.

Any Pics of this conversion yet?????

[twase]

Only the before shot so far.

With the sort of numbers your lookin at she should run that all day everyday. Taxis get such high k's out of the motors cos they are almost always at operating temp. Cold starts to warm up is where most engine wear happens

Kinda stuck trying to seperate the bellhousing from the motor. I am not removing the gearbox which probably makes it harder. Can see any bolts remaining.

EDIT
I found a simple way of seperating the bellhousing from the engine, a jemmy bar through the starter opening and pry against the rear of the flywheel.
