No. 220 rwkw would be within the ballpark of 280-300 at the flywheel. You would not get a compliance plate engineered at that power to weight level (300 / 1.5 = 200 kw per tonne). Even so it seems to be apllying to new cars that get a manufacturers compliance plate. So this means the max you could gun for in a new falcon at a tare mass of 1.7 tonnes is 221 kw. you confuse me? a falcon xr6/8 comes in at 1850 odd kg on a weigh bridge and the engine power advertised at 220 engine kw do the math thats closer to 240 kw and thats ba xr6t? |

No upmarket in prices...with the help of 4T sales, they might improve other parts of the 6 cylinder which may make it more fuel efficient. I mean the 6 cylinder LPi has great economy, more power than the unleaded variety, but for some reason it got really bad sales (I mean you do lose a fair bit of boot space from factory).

I believe my fairmont weighs ~1600kg, and I think the AU's were lighter all round.

(i know digging up old thread but been away) because once you get out of town and i have driven all over our lovely country the servos dont have lpg.... my mums work got a dedicated lpg bf rtv and i brought a stock as a rock petrol bf ute and i could easily get 300-400 ks more out of mine over the rtv and they where only $10 different filling them up |
