TBH. Hard to tell. Like I said, it wasn't even originally a turbo, so I don't know what all has been done to it. I will say though, I question if it is even making the 320ish HP it is meant to stock.

I think it's LSD, but I'm not sure to be honest. So it'd probably be a good idea to look into getting a different diff then? An M86 is what I'm looking for? The reason I wasn't sure before is because I found some stuff saying that both the N/A and Turbo came with 3.45, but that the turbo had a different "spine"? I don't even know what that means entirely. My knowledge of differentials and suspension is pretty limited.

This is my second post now, but I'm hoping it's fine since it's about an entirely different thing. Anyways. After buying my XR6 Turbo, I found out some stuff and I'm now 95% sure it wasn't originally a turbo. At this point, most of the things that would be different between turbo and non-turbo have been changed by myself, or whoever owned it previously. I've got no clue about the diff though. I was told on here previously that there would be information on the diff, but as you can see from the picture, the only thing you can make out is the ratio. I was hoping maybe someone on here is really familiar with these and could tell me which diff this is, turbo or non turbo? Thanks again!

So. Recently had to have my transmission replaced, the whole transcooler/radiator failure thing, and now it's got a strange thing going on. Best way I can explain it, is that when I am in manual shift mode, it's a 4 speed on an '04 XR6 Turbo, whenever I let off the gas or downshift, it seems to drop into a coasting mode. There's no engine braking, and even if I downshift to first at higher speeds, there's zero response until I start giving it gas again. When I do give it gas again, it'll rev up to around where it should be at that speed before engaging again. It seems to work better when in automatic, and seems to upshift just fine in manual, it's just that downshifting or letting off the gas causes it to coast. It seems more like an electrical issue of some sort, but I've got no idea. Anyone have any experience with this, or ideas of what it could be? Thanks!

Just wondering if you ever resolved this issue. I'm having the same thing happen on mine. Already changed the fuel pump and sender, but no change.

Haha. Yeah, I figured. Still had a response though. Yeah. I'll take it out to them when I get a free day. Any idea if, and how much they charge for just diagnostic stuff? Unfortunately no service history of any kind. As for the skids, won't do it even with traction control off, and it's an automatic. Dropping it into drive at 4k rpm would make for bad times. lol

None unfortunately. Kinda slow to take off tbh. Starts to pick up pretty well after about 2200 rom, sometimes at least. It's got some issues with performance. Rough idle, crazy high fuel usage, definitely doesn't feel like a 320hp car.

I'm not sure the specifications of the radiator tbh. It looks pretty sizeable, and I haven't had any issues with over heating at all. If I end up getting more work done to it, I'll keep in mind to check it out. Any easy way to check what kind of diff it's got? I've noticed a few turbo diffs online for cheap if I need to do that.

I can't afford to just get rid of it. lol. I know the NA diff is different, but is the 4 speed Auto different between the turbo and the NA?

They do everything with cars? Diagnose and help me get the issues with the car settled as well as performance stuff, or are they strictly performance?

The only reason I picked up on it was because of the engine code on ID label. And yeah, if anyone has suggestions of where to take it, that'd be great. I'm in western Sydney. Bankstown area.

I'm reasonably sure it's an entire 240 swap, not just slapping the turbo on an NA Barra. I've had a couple mechanics look at it and none of them picked up on it being swapped over. The engine itself seems to be in good condition, though there is some rough idle and it doesn't really feel like a 300+ HP car. Might have Ford do a thorough check of it to see what I'm working with, what's actually all been done to it, etc.

Well. I got the car because I wanted a decent car. lol. I want to do done upgrades to it. It's got to be a family car first and foremost. I did want to do the basic performance things though. Dump, cat, plugs, injectors, intercooler, intake maybe, and a tune. I'm not looking for huge amounts of power, or a 10 second car or anything, just make it a bit more fun to drive. Want to get everything done that needs to be fixed before any of that though. 14 year old car, needs some work. Now though, I'm unsure about some stuff. For all I know, it could have 20,000 km on the engine, or half a million. Also, why go through the trouble of an engine swap to a turbo, and not modify it at all? It doesn't even have the braided oil feed line that just about every single other one I've seen has.

I know there aren't any replies here yet, but I've got an update. Talked with Ford who confirmed that the car definitely didn't start out its life as a turbo model. I'm not sure what I should even do or think at this point. lol

Hey there guys. I recently bought an 04 BA Falcon XR6 Turbo. Love how it looks. It's got some issues, and I've had to change a few things already, and a few more I know need to be changed ASAP, but a question has come up about the car. Out of curiosity, I was looking up what specific stuff on the ID label stood for. I came across multiple sources saying that the engine code for a turbo should be "Y", and for a N/A it should be "H". Well. Mine has a turbo engine, correctly piped, intercooler in place, seems to have all the wiring for the turbo stuff. Has the proper turbocharger for a stock XR6T and it works, though I question if it works properly, but the engine code is "H". So, here's my main question (s). A. Are there any circumstances where a XR6T would be labelled with the "H" engine code? And B. Are there any other telltale signs I could look for to determine if it was originally a turbo, or if someone has just done a very clean swap? And lastly, C. What issues would this actually have? Should I be upset, happy, concerned? I'm not even sure what I'd could or should do if it turns out to be a "fake" XR6T. Thoughts? Thanks.
