hey everyone, been looking at this site for a while and finally brought a ford so i guess its only right to join.

well just brought an "02" xr6t 5speed and was wondering what performance mods everyone is doing and recommending for a 1/4mile time of around low to mid 13's.

i dont want to go over the top with mods because my sister will be learning how to drive a manual in it wile shes on her "L's"

already lowered it, got mk11 mags, no spoiler and de-badged. stainless steal cat and and exhaust will be done mid week. thoughts people.

first minor upgrade would be the exhaust and also get a typhoon intake and k&N filter.

Next step would be a bigger intercooler, and a capa flash box with a custom tune.

That should give you a decent increase in power but I suggest loading up the stock program from your cappa box whenever your sister wants to drive it.

All this will cost you around $3,000 and will easily see you into the low 13's.

edited: just read you've already got the exhaust there so your on your way already.

thanks, i will get the exhaust done and work from there. should have it all done by mid next month. il keep ya posted.

- K&N or BMC filter and a 2nd cai (Typhoon one is good)

- 3.5" high flow cat (stock exhaust is good for 350rwkw, unless u want to change it for a different sound)

- capa flash tuner (dont go to far past 250rwkw or u may have gearbox breaking issues as u have the T5)

- intercooler (wog coolers would be best bang for your buck)

- stronger clutch

people will tell u "the T5 can handle more than 250rwkw, my mate had 300rwkw blah blah blah" it mite have that much, but it could give up the ghost at any second.

u may want to add a set of injectors to but for the 240-250rwkw u should be safe on the stockers..

ok, i have got my 3inch mandrel bent exaust, capa flash box, and phoon intake is comming next payday. any guesses on what im goin to get at the wheels? ive been told buy a friend, (who tunes cars for a living) to expect over 250rwkw. its getting dyno'd a day after the intake.

250rwkw is a very realistic figure that u should get no probs.

Should nail a 12 if you drive it right.

yeah 250rwkw is conservative if anything. 12 second car easily.

you will be limited by the t5 gearbox, i wouldn`t reccomend over 250rwkw.

some people have more with the 5 speed but most end up with problems.

wog cooler,full stainless steel exaust,valve springs,fuel injectors,typhoon intake and custom tuning got me 316rwkw in my 02 t5 xr6t the t5 only lasted a week or so

cant make it hold 300+ have to do a lot of saving and buy a t-56.[/quote]

I'm surprised no has mentioned bigger wheels.
I find the 17's struggle to contain stock power.
Surely you would be struggling to get the power down cleanly with the 17's + mods?

Decent tyres go a long way on the street rather then the oem ones, and for dragging (especially with a histall) a set of slicks is definately required if you want to get the best times.

sorry for the off topic post ,
but fnp,s sig is fantastic

220 kw at rear wheels stock with ss induction,k,n filter. urs should be good for over 300.Have fun
