EF XR6 Vs EF GLi

[Kaddis]

just wondering if there much power difference between the XR6 motors and your normal falcon motors??

is there much other mechanical difference's between them aswell??

thanks!

in terms of performance, there is a noticable difference.
there is about 7kw difference between the 2 cars, but most of the performance gain is due to the 3.45LSD fitted to the XR6 compared to the 3.08 fitted to the GLi.
XR6's also got a few more options in terms of power windows.

the actual difference to the engine is basically restricted to the top end.
VERY slight exhaust changes.
Better head & Exhaust valves.
camshaft with more duration
Fuel regulator for more fuel
different ECU to suit the XR.

EF XR6's had 164KW EF GLI's had 157KW IIRC, mechanical difference is that the XR6 had a 3.45 LSD, the head was different and the cam was a bit more aggressive, that's all I know.

Engines:
4.0L 6 cyl
Bore and stroke: 92 x 99 mm
Power: 157kW at 4900rpm
Torque: 357Nm at 3000rpm

4.0L 6 cyl (XR6)
Bore and stroke: 93 x 99 mm
Power: 164kW at 5000rpm
Torque: 366Nm at 3000rpm

Performance:
(Falcon GLi sedan, 4 speed auto):
Top speeds in gears
1st: 88km/h
2nd: 145km/h
3rd: 180km/h (speed limited)
4th: 180km/h (speed limited)
0-100km/h: 8.7 seconds
Standing 400m: 16.2 seconds

Falcon XR6, 5 speed manual):
Top speeds in gears
1st: 57km/h
2nd: 94km/h
3rd: 144km/h
4th: 186km/h
5th: 225km/h
0-100km/h: 8.1 seconds
Standing 400m: 15.6 seconds

very hard to say, i can notice the difference on a brand new xr6 turbo and a brand new xr6 turbo and the difference on a Au and a Au. In therory the xr6 should go better but you never know. the difference is engien wise, portsizes, valve springs (firmer), cam, ECU tables and really thats bout it.

did all XR6's have power windows to every window? or did some come with just 2 front? caus i've seen an EF XR with just 2front

[EFFalcon]

all XR's only came with the fronts.

sorry but that post : I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. :.

Ditto that austin......

[FRDXR6]

Supposebly the power/torque in an XR is flatter/smoother throughout the rev range giving it a bit of an advantage, or so i have heard....

i think he means that the performance of the same model/type of car can be alot different between individual cars

if u wondering whether its worth purchsing the xr6 solely for its performance over a gli then its not really justified in my opinion but then u do get some nice extras like better seats and twin headlights
