Yeah mate - the big 5-0 Was going to have a bbq this weekend (was allowed up to 5 visitors) but todays new lockdown won't even let me do that :S Ah well - at least I can still drop in on the folks with the kids tonight for dinner - wouldn't even be allowed to do that after tomorrow.

I heard that out of date chilli sauce is bad for camshaft wear. Just remembered I had a Nutella Danish yesterday. Damn it was good.

Gulf Western truck just came. Full syn because I don't give a sh*t

Good info about the sump swap if needed, thank you! I have been working my way through lots of discussions reading all I can during breaks at work. I too love all the cars, but I love the Fords a little more 🤪

There is most likely a vac line that was blocked off when the factory BOV was removed. If you can find that you can just use that.

Thought it might be time to create a build thread on my Territory. It's a 2013 TS Petrol RWD I bought used with only 60,000k's on it. One owner with full service history and well looked after. Anyways, I had a heap of carry over gear from my 2014 G6ET that I didn't part with and had a built FG engine installed in a 2007 TS Territory RWD. Long story short, the SY required a sh*tload of money spent on the body to make it look reasonable which wasn't worth the spend. I parted everything out of it and had it taken to the tip. So, the engine mod list as follows; 2010 FG NA donor engine Spool pistons and conrods Atomic valve springs FG turbo exhaust valves Upgraded oil pump Engine machining etc FG intake and exhaust manifolds GTX3582R Process West FG Stage 2 FMIC Venom 4" dump and 5" cat Custom built stainless exhaust system. Transmission is a stock NA ZF, somehow managing to hold on for now.......

Bro you've still got the blue car and are a decent dude on top. Winner in my book.

Ha thanks mate, it's more of a novelty than anything. The keys are yours whenever the opportunity arises.

Was looking through the camera files and thought this might be a better clip as it was manually shifted. I should have shifted earlier but it's hard to film and drive. At any rate it's just some car sh*t to watch

Interesting. This is where I went with it and hit a brick wall...

Crikey, 50 ay?! Happy bday mate!

Happy birthday mate!

happy 50th you filthy old campaigner

Duly noted. I did actually try welding some stock oil pump gears together but they kept pissing out oil as soon as some heat was applied. Ended up throwing them in the bin. I probably should have kept them cos kids in Africa could have ate them.

Almost right - make sure you get a pro to do it and you'll be fine

Ah that's where I'm going wrong. I'll start adding sriracha to my oil instead. Help keep the oil pump gears welded together.

Dipping my microwaved dim sims in sweet chilli sauce and bbq sauce and the sweet chilli sauce has a best before of 22/01/2018. #nophuksgiven #keepsauceinthefridge

I see skids I press like.

hell yeah

I don't have the measurement itself handy, but it doesn't matter which motor you choose if you're upgrading the internals

it is an AWD Territory, to be fair haha

Sorry I’m not on the Aust ford forum. So far my icc is still plugged in as normal and I haven’t touched the main connector. This idea to get the icc display up to the alpine ILX-007 is basic with average results, but it shows the climate controls . And it shows the CD display , which is good as I’m running it into the Alpine via the AUX input. No I haven’t touched the cga.

I noticed last night beautiful orange flames coming from the exhaust on trailing throttle in 4th and 5th gear after rapidly lifting off the throttle during WOT. It didn't do this before with the twin 2.25" and twin cat setup. Bonus!!!

Brembo rears with Shockworks springs/shocks. The original exhaust design was to split from the 4" dump into twin 2.5" cats then step down into twin 2.25" muffler inlet and single 3.5" outlet, 3.5" over the diff, then back from 3.5" single inlet to twin 2.25" outlets. The problem with this setup was 10psi back pressure in the exhaust system pre cat @ 20psi manifold pressure. Subsequently had a new front section and muffler built, single 4" inlet to single 3.5" outlet. Not sure what the back pressure is yet as I haven't had it back on the dyno.

Brakes upgraded to Brembo 6 piston calipers with 355mm rotors for the front and Brembo 4 piston calipers with 330mm rotors. Suspension upgraded to Shockworks coilovers to the front and Shockworks rear shocks and springs. Front struts were custom made to suit the SZ RWD Territory. Their off the shelf kit suited the AWD, but not the RWD model. After some discussion with Brett a custom kit was made. The AWD yokes were tried along with the AWD sway bar from the SZ but this did not work, the kit did not work for the front. As mentioned, a solution was come up with to allow the front end of the RWD model to remain stock. A new threaded tube and bracket was quickly fabricated to allow fitment.

If this thread single handily doesn’t show how much of a immature person Arronm is nothing would. Why even bring your useless B/S into general threads regarding general questions Arron ? Seriously no one gives two Chits and no one thinks your “so cool” Your an old man, fruck off and tell all your mates at the Pub how cool you are 😐 Since you’ve always had a crack at nearly every single persons mods/tune/Dyno sheet let’s have a look at your “Magical” witchcraft sheet.... Shall we ? Barely makes 2 psi against the roller - That’s actually really appalling for a GT3582 Takes up until 5000rpm till it makes 15psi ... That’s terribly laggy Power comes over and can’t even pull until redline... Yep what a winner ( performance head that can’t flow past 6000rpm, yeh killer sign me up for one ) Boost can’t even be commanded and held flat... Basic tuning/set up of turbocharger specifics ... ( can’t wait for the excuse on this one ) Power generation down low is pretty average and nothing is showing exemplary efficiency here as depicted by the Torque displacement What you actually have is a “Dyno queen” tune as I doubt a “Fully Built Nizpro” F6 is missing some vital hardware that your tuner is allowing for and can’t ramp it in hard and fast 🤣 Looking forward to you replying to each above statements with facts, know you’ll just sprout off about some totally unrelated issues but you ... Go Girl ! To the bloke who started this thread, Sprints are a good package, I’ve got 414 of 500 and Some might say I know what I’m doing in regards to modifying and tuning Turbo falcons ... Yes the magical 400rwkw zone typically falls just short on the factory turbo GT3582 on 98 fuel so unless it’s tuned Really lazy like old mate above’s graph or on E85 it probably wont do it with full list of mods. Common safe ground is about 18 psi & 360-380rwkw with the GT3582 on the FG/FGX platform A GTX3582 G2 is what you will want to keep as close to characteristics of the factory turbo but have enough support to see the 400rwkw target. This is a well walked path and yes other turbos are on the market that can do it but it’s a more expensive option, characteristics change, manifolds might need to be purchased and the list can go on Typically a punter will want to get to a target with the least amount of outlay and least amount of stuffing around but yes experiment and left of centre options can generate results too... many ways to skin a cat especially if you’re a king killer big wheeler cat peeler Cheers
