whiplash-smile Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I just found a XT-6 in the wrecking yard I live at today, along with 4 more turbo EA-82's. Pretty stoked! My car is an 1988 turbo sedan with a 4 speed automatic full time 4 wheel drive. The XT-6 is also full time 4 wheel drive but is a 5 speed. I have read on this board that I can swap the suspension from the XT onto mine and gain 5 lug flexibility, is there any other benefits? Stiffer struts? lower? I have access to a set of '1992 Turbo Legacy brakes and suspension, besides it having vented rears and two piston front calipers(this legacy setup will cost me 400.00 and I haven't sealed the deal yet) What about the tranny? Is it strong? Is it as strong as a legacy turbo tranny? I think it would be a more direct swap than the legacy... any input (I swear) is wanted.

calebz Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 One big plus.. if its FT4WD 5 Spd, it probably has a 3.90 rear LSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 SO whats the deal with these XT's? I think I have a good chance of getting ahold of a nice one up here... worth buying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 what specifically do you mean? are you looking at an XT, XT Turbo or an XT6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Think hes got a XT turbo and a XT6... I take it the 6 is a 6 cylinder model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Grab the XT6 - awsome ride. XT's are a dime a dozen, but the XT6 is more rare. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Yes, get the XT-6 if you can. Took the one I bought (for a parts car) out for a quick 2 mile run. Those 2 extra cylinders and the MPFI sure does kick the YeeHaa factor up a couple of notches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
