Simon tell the truth mate,it's to get the car or Turbo on boost.This occurs when you have a big turbo or just plainly up the boost in the standard turbo.When this is done the turbo has to be able to spin harder to get the boost required to take off at peak power,if the turbo doesn't come on boost the car dies or goes like a suzuki mighty boy untill it hits the right amount of speed required to get the turbine to spin up to it's required operating optimun.

ideal boost, warming there *** up in the seat, picking lastnights dinner out, have a burp, by this stage the starter has fallen asleep and is getting ready to kick him out and drive the car himself... I still havent seen it, and ive videos of geea, and others cutting good lights and running 11's and 10's....

This doesnt need to be done in a BA/ BF turbo car..... Thats just it..... out:

thanks for the honest reply man. i'll tell him that it seems like it comes down to the whole V8 Vs turbo issue! which in my opinion though i told him to go F6 was that nothing should ever beat the aussie V8 cause it is 'sorta' the predecessor of the lengendary HO series which should never be put in the same catorgory as a turbo (which should be a step or 2 below).

if it was me i wouldnt buy without driving both .
the ba was differant i bought a gt without looking at a phoon . i got 6 sp manual .
today . in BF guise i'd be driving all of em before i made a choice . hence i'd be a real bbaarrrssssted to sell a car to now. but the dealer who had an f6 man , f6 auto, , gt auto, gt man , xr8 auto , xr8 man. would probably get my sale.

Spot on i was actually amazed how different these cars were.You sit in them both with all or most of the guages being replicated between the 2 but they do feel like 2 different sort of cars when driving them.FPV have done a great job by doing this as it's a great way to get similiar cars with such different characteristics.

They have done a great job by doing this BUT i have found that the modded ones aren't as well behaved or as responsive as the way they left the factory.

well when they are modded with bigger dumps and cats they spool even quicker...

[gtfpv]

please guys it's an unwinnable debate . the main thing is they are both fords . and they wont get into the new munsters movie before the new hemi.

[EB Pete]

alright. so lets get this cleaned up before i loose my mind! spooling is sorta the same as stalling a N/A car up to the perfect revs before it starts spinning?

Why are people making comments on modded turbos when they have had no first hand experience. Just looking at the fooly sik half chassis cars spooling from the stands at calder _

[Aaron_EF8]

Why is this thread even in E-Series?

[EB Pete]

sorry boys and girls about the placment of this thread. i just thought i'd ask my fellow e series owners what they would prefer.

Building up boost at the lights is mainly something small engined cars do, Falcons with 4 litres of engine have enough torque before boost comes on to be able to take off from the lights quickly still, and being a larger motor also means they spool up faster anyway.

As for the choice of cars, I'd take the F6, sell it, then with the cash buy an EL XR6 and turbo it for a drag car, put a 347 in the EF, drop a stroker 351C in an XE, and build an EA turbo drifter

i think your all mad

id be in heaven having any car with 300+ rwkw

Hemipower, are you in Melbourne? If so i'll take you for a spin in a modded XR6T and you can get some first hand experience.
When i'm at Calder i haev 2 race modes.
1) I ignore the green light and race the clock. I make sure everything is perfect before launching.

2) I race the car next to me. I go on green and get to the end as fast as i can when the light goes green.

Generally option 1 will give me quicker times, but only just. I've had numerous 10second passes going on green. At one stage along time ago my PB was actually running on green.

Like i said if your in Melbourne, i'll take you for a spin and you can decide for yourself.

Tough choice IMO..

I have only heared what each of these FPV's can do, so i can only go from what i have heared and seen.
So i would say...

For Very Very good looks and fun power go GT
For Very good looks and awesome fun power go phoon.

But its really your choice mate..

(really its good to have the option of both)

I hate turbo's, wanna take me for a spin?

[EDXR6T]

^^

umm yer me to lol

[EB Pete]

he took the typhoon for a test drive this arvo. he is goin with it.

[Poetic Justice]

From this thread I have to say two things:

1) Anyone who cans an F6 obviously hasn't driven one. Do this, then tell us what you think.


2) It's blatantly unfair to compare a "modded 5.4" with the stock typhoon. Allow for mods to the typhoon and then see where you're at.

[Whitey-AMG]

Amen to that

Congratulations to him. It must be a great feeling to wait for the new toy.

and its equally unfair to compare a turbo charged engine against a naturally aspirated one.

[Poetic Justice]

Yeaaaah, but that was what the thread was about, so I decided I would add my pennies.

[GTPete]

Thats my point, the two cars are aimed at seperate markets.

If your not sure buy the F6.

GT buyers in most cases dont have any doubts about the car they want.
