T-Rex Donating Members 98 Member For: 12y 3m 1d Gender: Male Posted 17/04/16 08:32 AM Share Posted 17/04/16 08:32 AM Fellas, Just put an FG2 Turbo motor into a BA and fired it up and it's running what seems a bit rough Only started it and ran it for about 30 seconds before I had to go out, it sounds like it's got a lumpy cam and was idling at about 1100 opposed to the usual 1000 - things that I can think of at the moment are a bodgy vac line I had to do and sealed with gasket maker on the barb at the manifold (plastic fitting with the 8mm and 6mm barbs on one) or the injector plugs that had the permanent marker rub off a few. Any suggestions where else to look when I get back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im no expert just a thought Edit: If you only ran it for 30 seconds it could just be cold idle rpm, otherwise possibly thermo. Also make sure fuel is good.

T-Rex Donating Members 98 Member For: 12y 3m 1d Gender: Male Posted 17/04/16 11:32 AM Author Share Posted 17/04/16 11:32 AM Sorry should have pointed out it was cold start. I let it run till warm and it seemed normal apart from the exhaust sounding a little lumpier, although I know they have different cams but I wouldn't expect that much difference hence why I was/am worried! The motor had been fitted to a BA previously so I'm not sure about the phasers to be honest It is the BA computer and was tuned (not for the motor I've put in) - going in for a retune ASAP but think I'll trailer it there instead of babying it.

Won't have individually variable cam timing(unless ba fpv pcm) but will happily control cams otherwise. Op did the fg motor come with injectors?
