Isn't that getting it a bit closer to F6 power and therefore would require more bits and pieces?

tuning an XRT from 270fwkw to 290fwkw without any mechanical changes is childsplay, wouldn't require anything at all to be honest and still be reliable.

In my experience reliable is not always equal to Ford reliable.
In the after market world it would seem easy. Not sure about the manufacturers warranty world.

I think prof point was more along the lines of how the Miami works...whether its 315, 335 or 351 its all in the tune.
I6T is much the same but hasnt really been given a tickle from FG release. Even 10kws would be enough to be nice. But yes there requirements are much stricter than that of any aftermarket shop.

Only problem is a tune costs mega bucks! If they were going to up the kw with XR6T it would have been more cost effective to use the F6 motor.

well those who know have said the last F6 Turbos themselves were ordered a few weeks back, and no more will be ordered. But at the same time does this mean there may be a stockpile of complete F6 motors too? Similar to the Miami stockpile? I know it's all just conjecture until we finally get some official facts which would be nice, but is XR6T guaranteed at staying 270 or will F6 motors be used?

Anyway, XR6T deserves a send off as the F6 went with a whimper. Prof I recall someone saying that the F6 motor components where not being bought as of a few months ago now. They would stockpile a few warranty ones and that would be it I think. Bit of a bummer...using the F6 engine would have been nice.

Not quite sure, but they could be the round cutouts just below the headlights and in the lower grill perhaps...

Saw the new falcon with the bra's covering the car on Calder Freeway heading towards the city. Would be cool to think they were gathering all the cars for the lead up to the reveal (lets all pray) on Friday

But your are right, the VY/Z have aged way better then the VT/VX...just as the AU it's self has aged nicely. Says a lot about challenging design standing the test of time...

So...for all the talk about the seemingly non-existent Ford marketing department...
We actually have a quite successful marketing program and we are all part of it...even those official teasers and vids have migrated from social media to news network pages...

No I think the vid release is perfect, but as mentioned previously they killed the whole fricken thing ehen thy mentioned that more product was on the way, falcon is done etc.
Note to Ford, while we are excited about other models how dare you trump anything ls other than the falcon in a campaign for the falcon...I found it to be quite disrespectful.

While marketing the last Falcon there should be no reason to utter any other model...heaps of time for that. Poor form.

So in otherwords...
-No 310kw FPV 6-cyl's are stored away... -The FPV spec 310kw 6-cyl is more then a ECU tune...

The 310 motor had a bigger turbo (ala BA/F), stronger lower comp pistons, oil cooler, bigger intercooler and injectors. It's not just an ECU tweak.
F6 motor is finished, was all wrapped up a good 2 months ago. |
