Honestly an aftermarket boost controller with a na pcm will do the job, providing the turbo is big enough.

Just ate nearly half a kg of bacon dipped in mustard, steak sauce and sweet chilli sauce.

Hey guys as the title describes, I am after a BF1 turbo pcm. Not I’m not really sure if I exactly need a BF, however I am slowly turning an NA BF1 manual xr6 into a built turbo aimed at the 600kw+ mark. I’ve been told pin layouts are different and swapping PCM’s between generations doesn’t work. If anyone could drop some wisdom regarding that or whether they have the aforementioned PCM for sale I’d be very grateful. I’m located in western Sydney if that helps. cheers all

Well I’ve managed to make an account that has all of my correct details. I am Magadoo turned Looqmon. Anyhow, hope everyone is doing well tonight. I’m after a BF1 turbo PCM. I’m slowly gathering parts for a 1000hp rated build and want to include factory boost control but not dish out haltech money. I’ve asked various wreckers in Sydney and Facebook chats so apparently they’re as rare as hen’s teeth. If anyone can please point me in the right place to post this WTB on the forums I’d greatly appreciate it. Cheers

Put them into Assetto Corsa or Beamng.drive, people would love them. I made a 600awkw territory for beaming.drive, haven't used it in a while though. Doesn't look anywhere near as good as yours though.

Haha, yeah I nearly got over it today and yoinked it out of there. Reading anything I can find about water on the floor and thinking I might be in for taking out the dash after all. I sure don't want to though.

On the off chance anyone here is interested, I've been making some Aussie Fords for modified GTA5 servers. While not a racing game, FiveM is pretty much perfect for thrashing around, with a very decent physics engine considering GTA's vintage. Let me know if you want to drive these, or just see them developed.

I haven't got experience with ute carpet, but in my other carpet and trim pulling experience, sometimes you just gotta pull harder.

I've been removing items in the way of pulling up the carpet in my 04 BA Mk2 ute. But it really seems like they put the dash in after the carpet, so I either have to empty the car or cut the carpet a bit. Anyone have any experience with this? It's just an inch of carpet that goes over the trans tunnel forward of the shifter. So tempted to cut it, but don't want to find out later it's the only thing making the carpet sit right. lol. All thoughts welcome.

Had an old school XD Falcon with a 351 on the dyno this evening for a power run. The guy had moved the distributor before arrival and it was roughly 20 degrees too far advanced showing pinging, pre ignition and a very high idle. After a quick adjustment with the timing light, it ran up a respectable 162rwkw. The neighbours had just got home so they enjoyed an earful lol. I would give a fark but they have been insufferable carnts since they moved in, noise being the biggest problem. How the turntables

morning all, happy Wednesday 🛢️

Haha it's honestly not a lot different, although it is a sh*tload better than when I first picked it up. It pulls better everywhere and is much snappier to drive, but most of that is in the tune I reckon. I've been learning to tune the LS platform flat out lately, spent many hours on YouTube listening to Matt Sanford, heaps of time road tuning/logging as well as a bit of time on the dyno, and I have my head around it pretty good now. Looking forward to doing some cammed stuff soon

mighty actually turn a tyre or two now

morning all, happy Tuesday 🛤️

Looked at the dyno, did no dyno work. The flamin VCM intake finally showed up this evening at 9pm, would it be bogan of me to go out and fit it now? I'll fit it tomorrow and then I will get the Caprice back on the dyno for some more tuning. I'll be happy if it makes 240rwkw, might even be enough to beat a stock Falcon now Also managed to get the shed ordered this year and it'll be delivered end of January. Should only be a couple weeks for them to have it built and concrete done, will just have to wait and see

morning all, happy Monday 🛣️

why are bf wheels causing issues on a ba? is this normal?

Digging up this old thread again today to celebrate washing my ute for the first time in many years. It turned 20 this year, and it shows. It was a good looking car until I moved to the bush permanantly. At some point during the last drought, I learned to live with it dirty from daily dirt road use. After sitting for the better part of the last year, I took a long look at it and decided, if I want to keep this thing, it's time to rescue it. The short version of the rest of the story is, I can no longer poke fun at people for power washing their interior. lol Anyway, this thing needs a paintjob.

yeah, using spacers to get around that sort of issue is not recommended, at best...

Yeah sorry it is the upper control arm

Shave the knuckle or get tyres with skinner sidewalls (if it's the upper-control-arm joint you're referring to? or something else?)

morning all, happy Sunday 🚏
