The autos arn't the same and I'm not sure if the diffs are either.. wouldn't it be easier to just buy an xr6t to begin with..

I had this dream once too copez, but the bloody internals arnt really up to scratch and the ECU is a pain in the balls. I'd like to get a turbo in the near future.

i have found a turbo block thats not to dear and i have already got an ecu and loom so its only a matter of the driveline holding up so it shouldn`t be a drama, just got to call around for a head. thanks for your help.

I've contacted snort performance regarding this and awaiting for their advice as they sell full turbo kits with the gt35/40 for about $5,000. Add injectors, turbo ECU and tune all up bringing total up to $8,000. Add that to the cost of the car ($13,000) and your looking at $21,000 for a car that will be faster than a stock xr6T.
Now add minor reliability for another $2,500: trans cooler, oil cooler and change the dif. Finally if needed: better block internals, and valve springs <<< Not sure how much all this costs but its what makes me tear my hair out.

An entire turbo motor with accessories and ECU is only $5-6K nowadays from FTG autosalvage and will have everything you need.
Remember the standard turbo with a modified wastegate will be fine for around 400rwkw. The BF motors are good for around 350rwkw on standard internals. |

sounds like an even better choice. Do you know what the BA motors internals are capable of. 300rwkw would be nice.
By the way, I spoke to you at dyno day but you probably dont remember me, you were telling me how you just decided oneday "hmm, a BA motor might work"

Yep i remember.
From what Ive read 340 is a safe limit if tuned well. Back when i started my conversion If i knew what i knew now I would have bought a complete xr6t motor and used that rather than starting with an NA motor and putting aftermarket gear on it. |

thats good advice I like to hear as its actually from experience. So 6k from ftg, and you can have yourself a full running system. And I know its possible as they built the successful tsunami car.

Yep, im not sure what the deal is with getting the ecu working in a B series though.
Im sure some tuners have done it though and could tell you whats needed. Dynowog has done some conversions. Ill ask next time i go see my car. |

Cheers, the more information that can be shed in this matter the better. From what i've heard, dynowog seens to think its very easy to do so thats a positive at least.
