it was the dauratec TT V6, they were going from castlemain to bendigo after having sensor problems with the dyno in castlemain.
guy in the passanger seat is kicking back logging and tuning via a laptop. i was told later with a bit of a laugh “some guy in a clubby was following us taking pics, we took off a litte. but it was still running shit”
i saw over 300rwkw on a weak tune before they had to switch dyno’s
it was said whatever power figure it’s relesed with, it’ll last 1,000,000 km like that if people dont go upping the boost etc.
the tuner thought it was a good thing to play with

I think its great that Ford have seen the light in regards to factory turbocharged vehicles. I truly believe that the XR6T saved Ford and will become another of Australias cult cars. They have combined a tough engine with a awesome turbo with fantastic results. Its a pity they didnt have this 20 yrs ago like the Japs; Ford today could be something unreal.

pics were taken between castlemain and bendigo, going to bendigo for dyno tuning after it maxed one dyno out. the guys in the ford knew they were being followed and had a good giggle about it

Joel, I am so overwhelmed by your passion for the “Alloytech” or “Craptech” engine that you refer to, produced by GM.. Please allow me to clarify a few minor things for you though, seeing as though you’ve taken no time what so ever to do your research and have taking the easier option of shooting your mouth off without knowing the facts… Those being; Firstly, you are correct about the ‘Harsh’ feeling of the “Alloytec”, but I seem to think that you haven’t realised that Holden hasn’t used Counterbalance shafts in this motor to iron out vibrations, unlike Toyota which does… God only knows what that would be like if it didn’t have them. Another few things I must ask is; Who has the superior torque… ALLOYTEC; Who has a FORGED STEEL CRANK and FORGED STEEL RODS…. ALLOYTEC; Which engine can achieve over 200kW’s without a Supercharger or Turbo Charger or for that matter getting it’s Tuning department involved… GM with the Cadillac CTS due for release later next month… producing over 240kW’s… did I mention that the engine used there was also an “Alloytec”?… Or as you call it, a ‘Craptech’. Pretty bad really, I always thought Toyota could’ve done better than GM, considering all their Japanese technology… But seems to me, they’re falling behind the 8 ball, even with their 240kW Supercharged TRD Aurion; Couldn’t they tweak it a little more without using forced induction??

Thanks for the constructive input Joel, it’s been muchly appreciated.. Also a word of advise, go back to the little hole you crawled out of and stay there… Holden’s and Ford’s are in a league of their own and that’s definitely a league Toyota could never be a part of!

Umm they look like BF lights to me- and if I’m not mistaken thats a BF FPV rear fascia.
