hobo

Thanks. Only 98 at this stage. I have an mtx-l in the dash pod that I connect to the mpvi

Finally got my car onto a dyno to see how much power its making. Has only been tuned on the road by me. I wish he had stuck his wideband in it for a log but it was just a rush job cause he was busy. Hopefully I can crack 400 Diy road tuned

That's perfect thanks. If I get it working I will post up a diagram for anybody else that is interested.

Hahaha that would be right... Cheers

Does anybody have access to wiring diagrams for an FG? Im trying to adapt an FG throttlebody onto a BA harness and I cant find diagrams anywhere. Any Fg owners out there able take a picture of their throttle body plug showing the wire colours and positions?

I'm not pretending or fooling myself thinking I'm tuning my car to a professional level I know it's a hack job but the car cost 4 grand and is nothing more than a toy to play and learn with. Dropping hundreds of dollars on things I might use once or twice just doesnt make sense. I don't take it that seriously its just a falcon. I could use that money to fix the gaping rust hole in the rear quarter

From what I have heard a lot of the proper knock monitoring tools use the same bosch sensor but they have filtering to make it clearer and software to draw you a pretty graph. It's a similar concept just very simplified and cheaper

If I only I could afford the proper tools hahaha

I used nylon truck air brake hose

I have a manual and I just pushed the wiring through next to the clutch hose. I tried the hose and earmuffs setup under the recommendation of a tuner and I couldn't hear a thing. It was useless I don't know how he tunes like that. I can't really afford a pro knock monitoring tool so I have a ghetto setup with a stock knock sensor with wiring attached that I plug into my laptop so I can record and listen to it at the the same time. It is horrendous to listen to put it works surprisingly well considering it cost nothing. Obviously a professional tuner should have a proper kmon or whatever but for diy it gets the job done

Don't spend more money changing to an npc clutch. I have the coppermix and ceramic dual friction twin plate and it rattles and makes the gearbox sound like it's falling apart. That's just the price you pay for a strong clutch

Single mass. As far as I know no falcon ever came with a dual mass flywheel.

Cool. I have an fg intake so why not the exhaust manifold too. Hopefully an fg oil drain pipe would fit

How hard is it to fit the FG exhaust manifold? how does it go with changing the position of the turbo when it comes to water/oil pipes?

How did the Fg 4" exhaust end up? Did you need a custom dump pipe In the end? Love the single tip at the back. I would like to do something similar.

Who out there has rust in there Ba? Particularly the rear quarter/boot area? I have a black 2005 BA series two that I love to death but it is rusting bad. Soon I will be able to stick my finger through the hole in the rear quarter into the boot. I am considering having the rear quarter replaced with a brand new one I got for $100 but I am worried that I will spend a lot of money to have it fitted and painted only for the other side to start going as well. My other option is to find another body shell and swap everything over but I'm starting to wonder if all BAs are going to be the same. Did the later BAs have the same rust problem or are they all going to rust away in a few years? Opinions? Lol

Not as fancy as above but this is my homemade setup

KPM, Can you tell me more about the high flow pressure regulator? is it a bosch part or something modified?

im part way through tuning it myself and this seems to be about as far as I can go for now. I might throw a filter at it but it looks like I need to find a pump.

Can anybody tell me roughly when the stock intank pump runs out in a ba mkii? I have a pw stage 3 intercooler, 1000cc injectors, fg intake manifold, stock exhaust. Running around 8psi midrange pushing up around 10psi up high and the wideband is showing afr is leaning out up top. Is this about the limit of the stock pump or have I got other issues? I realise the only way to know for sure would be to measure fuel pressure but that might be a little dangerous at 100+kph down the road lol Cheers

hmm that sucks. I thought about the 4" intake but I don't want to move my battery. Might just have to live with it

Hey guys I have just installed a PW under battery intake (not impressed with the fitment but anyway) and the dose is LOUD I dont mind a little but this is a bit too much. Has anybody had any luck with a bigger bov? Seems like the stock one just cant let enough air out?
