They fucking ace cars, they been posted about on here loadsa times, jus some peope dont read the posts casue it says XR on it...

You can get 500bhp from one with standard engine, turbo, and manifods FFS, and thats good for a proven 300kmh and 10sec 1/4s.

Its a big capacity 24v striaght six turbo, which is about the best engine configuration you can get for big big power and straight sixes rev nicey.

And YES, cost them 40k for over 1000bhp (On PUMP FUEL), which sounds a lot till you reaise thats 16k in UK money Ie what youd barely get 500bhp for from Harvey Gibbs on your YB...

The above is why my engines being done in NZ, and the exchange rate is even better

Another article about it

http://carsguide.news.com.au/news/st...E21822,00.html

Cracks me up that they think its a lot of money, wheras in this country that looks like the biggest bargain ever

Same as for my engine, looks to the people whos building it over there think im spending an obscene amount of money, but over here im dancing around the room (ok maybe not) that im spending relativley fook all and having a absofuckinglutley crazy engine

paul emasi sumond got when thay wanted one

"We can supply second hand as well as new XR6's. However we can no longer import saloons or estate vehicles due to tightening of the ESVA regulations that stipulate European frontal and side impact results on non commercial vehicles.



The UTE's are deemed commercial vehicles and so are not subjected to this, they are still commercially viable to import."

Well its nearly 1.5litres bigger than a RB so not really suprising is it.

Can it do 1000+bhp on a standard crank like a RB can tho?
