Actually the motor is built by Fpv, so Fpv bottom end. Feel free to point out any differences mechanically for me though.

Would have loved an f6 but at my age it's not the end of the world. Still better than what you own smile.gif

Cmon then genius's. Show what the mechanical differences are between my 07 and any any fpv.

Here's a hint, theyre the same.


They are indeed the same thing. But, several times you've said that you have an FPV bottom end. Or that the FPV have stronger valves, springs, etc. So you tell us.

QUOTE (Richie217 @ Mar 20 2012, 04:08 PM) *
So using your reasoning anyone that has a LS1 powered Holden can claim to have a HSV motor as the are the exact same engine? If they are the same motor we fucking name drop?


OT - Damn these things put out stupid numbers for very little cost. Just a shame I don't really like any of the Falcon bodyshapes since the XD.


Exactly. If you can claim that your motor is an FPV. People with LS1's and a mafless can claim they have a HSV engine. Awesome!

Ok the arguing is doing my head in haha. Here it is in plain and simple (Now don't take this as if I'm saying it entitles an XR owner to an FPV badge)


BA, BAII, BF I XR6T - Shitty valve springs and thinner/weaker conrods. Power limit with stock bottom end but aftermarket V.springs is around the 330rwkw+ have seen them pump out 360rwkw but its pretty much tick tick BOOM.

BA Typhoon and 06/2006 BFII XR6T/Typhoon onwards untill FG - Have same motor all with stronger valve springs and rods than previous model. Only difference between the FPV and XR is the rocker cover and ECU mapping. Will handle around 400rwkw un-opened motor.

FG XR6T - Smaller turbo and intake plenum are the main differences. I'm pretty sure the FG F6 has ther same motor as BFII Typhoon less plenum.

Simple.

is this guy for fucking real??? if the engine came in a ford its an xr6t motor if it came in a f6 fpv then its an fpv motor can you fucking comprehend that........ your missing the whole thing and digging you self a deeper hole comment after comment

Ohh i see.

So i am right in saying that he is simply sack riding the FPV name.

It's the same as when Silvia owners mention they have a blacktop SR in the s13 trying to sack ride s14 / s15 motors...

Fuck me there is a lot of cunt!erey going on in here.

People sook about 5% as much when theres a Chev badge on a commodore.
It's the same fucking engine as in an FPV, that's all the guy was pointing out. He's not claiming he has a secret XR6T build for FPV but sold as an XR6T, he's just saying it's got the same engine.

If it didnt get put into an FPV,come from an FPV,Be able to be truthfully sold as an FPV engine then its not an FPV engine. This isnt a tricky difference in opinion. It is as it is.

Aww. Your still having a hard time grasping that theyre the same though.

And yet still different from the early xr6t motor.

But keep going, it's making me lol that you can't grasp it.

If I went to buy it from ford, Its listed as an Fpv motor.

Can someone please explain to me the difference in a BF XR6T mk2 engine and a BF F6 typhoon engine. Apart from rocker cover colour and engine numbers.

crank, rods, pistons, valve springs, cams, block, turbo, injectors, manifolds
which of the above are common and which are not?


edit : I know the fpv's got a different cooler and ran more boost to get the higher stock power numbers, but what was changed in the engines to handle it?

Post #117

XR6 stock 240kw

F6 stock 270kw


Doesn't matter who built it, if its in an XR6 with 240kw standard, then its a XR6 motor.

Differance on the engine is only the accuator which is 9psi

But you didn't and no, it's not.

Stop sack riding FPV.

Your motor is an XR6 motor.

Do you see Monaro owners saying they have a HSV motor because clubsports have LS1's with the same internals?

Congratulations to all internet warriors competing in this mindless debate instead of posting up XR6T's

Your mindless internet dribble is why you can't have a nice car in certain parts of the car scene because people would rather rag it out then congratulate you on the modifications you've done

I understand both sides, and I think I can explain it since you're all too incompetent to realise what each other are saying, and if you indeed think you are competent enough, you're just trolling for the hell of it.

Henz is (now) saying that his engine is the same factory produced engine (internals wise) as what comes in any FPV turbo car (BA Typhoon - BF2 Typhoon) as the BA/BA2/BF XR6T pre 06-06 has the weaker bottom end making it a different engine altogether.

What the other clowns are saying, is that since it wasn't purchased in the chassis of a badged FPV, you can't class it as a typhoon motor. You didn't buy an XR6T with a typhoon motor, you bought an XR6T with an XR6T motor (which just happens to be the same as the one they use in the FPV). Same engine, 2 tunes (and other minor changes - actuator, paint etc) to distinguish the difference between the 2 engines.

The summary is, yes the 2 engines are built the same before dropped into any car.
The XR6T's come with an XR6T configured/tuned engine.
The FPV's come with an FPV configured/tuned engine.

What's being said is unless you got an FPV and an XR6T, and swapped the engines over (meaning you imported the factory configured F6 engine into your XR6T) then you have what's considered an XR6T engine - despite the fact that internally they are the same.

I think Henz should have just put: (same internals as typhoon) instead of (typhoon motor).

Have I hit the nail on the head or have I hit the nail on the head?

You sorta did.

But, why the need to mention anything at all about it having the same internals as FPV. Does it really matter? Are ford owners that butt hurt they couldn't afford the FPV, they feel the need to convince people their motor is an FPV motor? Regardless of the only difference being a different tune, conrods, airbox, actuator, and tappet cover paint (Which you know, does indeed make seperate it from the XR6 motor..)

I cant believe the only people defending this guy, are ford owners. The rest of us just think you're stupid.

Do you see Holden owners (not the wankers with the chev badge) running around trying to convince people their car has a HSV motor because they are mechanically the same?

There might have been some respect for you car, I think it looks just fine. In fact, one of the cars on my list of cars to look at buying later on this year will be an FPV F6. But trying to bandwagon on the FPV name, when the engine is not FPV dressed up, just makes you look like a sack rider.

They are the same motor. Putting "Same internals as Typhoon motor" is retarded.

You've just mentioned conrods again.

So you still haven't learnt (though you said you have) that the bottoms end are the same. Earlier xr6ts have weak conrods.

Just to clear it up for you.

Well, no it's not retarded.

There are 2 different XR6T motors, one is with a weaker bottom end, the other is with the F6 bottom end. Then, as we've gone through so a child in kindergarden can understand, there's the FPV F6 engine..
Putting that your XR6T has the same internals as the F6 is indicating you have the later of the 2 XR6T engines (which a lot of people will ask about when you move to modding as the weaker of the 2 will need different parts replaced to reach the same power levels as the later motor).

I'm not saying, nor trying to convince anyone I have an FPV motor which is what you have said above: "Are ford owners that butt hurt they couldn't afford the FPV, they feel the need to convince people their motor is an FPV motor? Regardless of the only difference being a different tune, conrods, airbox, actuator, and tappet cover paint (Which you know, does indeed make seperate it from the XR6 motor..)"
I'm just indicating that my motor contains the same internal parts/bottom end as the FPV one. Yes it is still an XR6T motor.

And yes, by saying Ford owners after quoting my post, is referring to myself also. (just to clarify before you try to have a pick at it by saying "did I say you?" which seems to be your thing)

Funny Thing is...


Both engines are still made at Fords engine plant, on the same production line, using the same parts. So, towards the end of the production line...


-One goes and has the Blue tappet cover installed, and is coupled with a FPV tune, then installed in a FPV

-The other has the red cover, and a XR6 tune, then is installed in a XR6


Hence, Typhoons having a FPV tuned variant of a Ford engine (as ford simplified things by having the one set of rotating assembly)...

Therefore, saying your XR6 is sack riding....unless you own a BA-BF Mk1 and have installed a FPV spec engine...

Not sure the intention of this post, as it's said basically what I said a few posts ago, but the last line seems like a flame.

As said 2 posts ago:
"The summary is, yes the 2 engines are built the same before dropped into any car.
The XR6T's come with an XR6T configured/tuned engine.
The FPV's come with an FPV configured/tuned engine."


I believe we're all on the same page regarding the manufacturer of the engine being Ford, no-ones disputing that. We're not saying that FPV build their own engines, just that the engines that come in the FPV cars are tuned differently to the XR6T. When referring to FPV engine, we're referring to the one inside the FPV (F6), not FPV as a manufacturer..

I dont get your sack riding comment. I'm not claiming to have an FPV specced engine, and as we established above, Henz meant the internals/bottom end of his XR6T motor are the same as the ones in the F6. Nor does anyone with a BA-BF Mk1 (pre06/06) claim to have the same engine as what's in the F6's.
