Khan xf xl 10 Posted September 26, 2018 Mate I literally shut my garage & walked away from this car a couple of months ago because I couldn’t be bothered with it. If only I knew a bash with a hammer would solve it engine mounts bolted up & she slotted into place nicely!!!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk plenty of cars have run T5s making good power, it will depend on it's condition and how it's driven. i blew up 4 single rails in less than a month when i put one behind My 351.. got one rebuilt and couldn't kill it after 80,000kms.. anything that's half worn out is not going to last as well as a fresh one not matter what you do with it. give it a shot, i'd probably be mindful it's expensive to replace and maybe look at rebuilding it before it goes bang if it's going to cop a thrashing? 1 Khan xf xl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ando81 2,949 Posted September 27, 2018 I’ve heard that the first gear bearings don’t like burnouts. Just use second gear for skids, then third and fourth 1 Khan xf xl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenMason 26 Posted September 27, 2018 Completely off topic to my original post lol, but anyway From my experience with BA/BF the T5 and T56 share the same front bolt pattern. If you blow the T5 replace it with the T56 it should be an almost direct replacement. Pretty hard to blow a T56, I'm running a factory unit behind my 700HP XR6 Turbo and it has a wall of torque from 3000 - 7000rpm.

Khan xf xl 10 Posted September 27, 2018 Yea sorry Ben, I’m new to this so when I saw someone talking about a t5 I just jumped on in. Cheers for the input though I’ll keep an eye out for a t56Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenMason 26 Posted September 27, 2018 All good mate, they are pretty abundant and cheap. I reckon Dan may have one or two. https://www.facebook.com/dansfpvpartz/ Will also let you drop your diff ratios giving better acceleration and keep your rpm low at highway speeds. 2 Khan xf xl and Valvebouncer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
