Lots of guys cant crack the 200rwkw with a N/a ba 6 and they have same mods as you. Your looking at a 2-3k for a new manifold, check out Croydon Racing developments! Or Nizpros plenums, if it were me i wouldnt bother for a little over 1k with Nos you'l safely punch out 40hp- 50 gain! comfortable, One guy NoSXR his punching out over 250rwkw with his Xr6, think his running a 50-75hp shot Nos system Back to top kyle173 Fordmods Stock as a Rock Age:21 Posts: 155 Joined: 20 Jun 2007 Location: brisbane QLD, Australia View User Gallery (4) Posted: Sun May 11, 2008 11:28 am    Post subject: how much to set up nos for bf xr8 and wat are the chances of hurting the donk Back to top Joesau Fordmods - Smokin em up Age:21 Posts: 277 Joined: 22 Feb 2006 Location: Geelong VIC, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Sun May 11, 2008 10:10 pm    Post subject: depends what you wanna do, my friend has been playing with Nos on his El for a bit now, he believes through his testing his motor will hold a 50 shot before it decides to melt anything lol, its currently running a 25hp shot which is minimal yeah but sees good gains once tuned proper. Nos isnt for everyone you gotta remember theres a highly explosive Bottle in your boot, plus the risks of authorities, if you can get away with it do it. Either way $800-1200 gets you everything you need then aloow for tuning 7-800 Back to top schnoods Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:24 Posts: 1846 Joined: 25 May 2006 Location: Perth WA, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Sun May 11, 2008 10:55 pm    Post subject: Nos is no longer NA. Nizpro plenums are only good for Turbo set ups, I'd be looking at match porting the manifold for a minor gain. just out of curiosity, how far off the 200 rwkw mark are you? Alot of Ba 6's with an exhaust are making near on 190-200 rwhp, Also depends how agressive the cams are, and where they make power too. What sort of exhaust are you running? Maybe an area you may want to look at.

NOS is "forced-not NA... keep the butterflies.. as that aides low down torque.. but match porting it will definatly help.. and mayby a larger throttlebody if chasing every last killowatt.. do you have a flash tune??

I`m looking at some head work and more aggressive Cam`s and also getting the stock manifold ported and polished and a larger TB it`s got the 4 spd auto and I`ve heard stallies don`t always want to work (sometimes the ECU cuts it back to LHM) and I`m upgrading the Diff to 3.7 LSD from stock open wheeler I know that the diff and stallie wont help to much in rwkw gain just get the power to the ground quicker and effects top end speed I`m getting 178rwkw now but that also depends on which Dyno I run it on too Back to top schnoods Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:24 Posts: 1846 Joined: 25 May 2006 Location: Perth WA, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 7:50 pm    Post subject: I'd still be looking at a but of match porting withe the BBM, also a bit of port work too. I'd defiantely be going too, or seeking the advice of Bluepower, CMS. Redcliffe Dyno or possibly Mick Webb to see what they have to say, rough price and what you might be able to achieve. More power is good, but it has to be realistic power too. 200rwkw out of a BA 6 would be incredibe too, A big set of cams would near on come close.

I have done this mod and noticed a small but noticeable improvement. Once you adjust it you can physically tell by the engine response that it has switched to the short runners. You feel a larger power surge. Before it was very smooth, very hard to tell (ford engineers probably made it like this to keep the engine response smooth during wide open throttle).
