A good tuner will sort it out quickly and for little $$$$ as you have done all the work. could be leaking pressure from a hose.

Sorry to hear about all your headaches but I feel you bro been there many times. one question who is your mechanic?

im going to safely max out the turbo on hand to see how it goe's then take it from there.

not a great deal torque comes on early and I need a surge tank and dump pipe and bigger zorst so tune it really well then we can run 18-19 psi which should see approx 60 more rwks I just want to see the torque up around 1150nm then I will be happy.

Guys there are good and bad everywhere we all need mechanics its just about finding one who is good and is trustworthy. I have a couple of guys who I deal with for different mechanical jobs and are both great. this guy which ill mention soon is a f*ck wit with a reputation for blowing engines on dynos and so on then cleaning his hand .I found out alot by researching which I should of done before I took it to him. now I have paid for it. I have to prove that he left the rage in the engine which is the hard part . because he can point the finger at anyone.

come and see me and I will tell you where not to go.

Do your research. lot of no it alls.....

hey mate in regards to tyres just put a set of nitto invos and found them very very good even in the wet straight off the bat they were very grippy . best value tyre on the market.

very good must catch up one day.

Sorry boys this guy said he'll bet anyone price I guess he was full -- -hit. Not to worry everyone is happy with the sticky invo's that's all that matter's.

hello am running 380rwkws with a 3inch exhaust and standard dump how much difference will a upgraded dump pipe make.

this is true ive owned the car since new meticoulisly looked after it from day one full service history so I now the car I did not want to put a second hand motor from ungly dave down the road that I found from a wreckers. so I opted for a built engine even though if this never happened it would of cost me not one cent. as the car was running fine.

that's right im out of pocket a engine rebuild and a turbo rebuild both done properly so you work out the $$$$$

I will champ all in good time . Had a hearing today and the person basicly said that he will take no responsability for the rag in the engine and said that it is not the reason for the engine giving way nor is the blown turbo cased by the oil supply being blocked from this rag. This is going to be delt with in a court in 6 weeks and a decision will come out of it just ave to make sure all my evidence is up to date because its up to me to prove he is at fault . Photo's ,reports service history so on. ill even wheel the engine in peices into the court room to prove my point. This *beep* is not going to get away with this.

cheers mate im in sydney.

fpv man Mate the fact that it had 385rwkws is not relavant there was a rag left inside the engine. wheather it was a standard engine nizpro engine atomic it dosn't make a difference. Yeah I will just so mr fpv can take his car there for its next tune.

It sounds like a very common problem I have a ba but just fg running gear in mine and I now have this bloody noise which is called a roll over noise it comes from somewhere between your slave cylinder and flywheel when the car is at idle low rpm if you turn the steering wheel or put the ac on basicly put extra load on the car the noise will be more prominent.Once you put the clutch in it disappears because when you push down on the clutch there is load down there and everything is tight so it goes away let go of the clutch and it is back.Very common especially once you put a heavy duty clutch or once you put a short shifter any little mods just bring out the noise .I hate it just put a new moter and a tr6060 new clutch and I here this noise it kills me. I will get it fixed cause it shouldn't be there.

A little up date about my situation after going through all the bull sh*t trying to get this mechanic to face up to his stuff up's it has not worked, booked a date in court next week where all the evidence will be put forward and hopefully justice will finally be done once the case is over ill post all the pics of the engine and also tell everyone how this mechanic is and they can make there own minds up after that.

sorry boys been on holidays if any body wants these tyres a guarantee this guy will beat any body price in Sydney and he has stock. Call Brian from Ozzy tyres at Moorebank and he has stock for the best price Mention THE COOK and he will look after you even more.

I running 385rwkws 1030nm torque at 16 psi and no traction loss at all but there brand new as they wear a little I might get some wheel spin.

just wanted to give my opinion on these tyres I have a Ba with fg f6 running gear had traction issues up until now put a set of invos on the back standard 18' size with F1 good years at the front. What a bloody difference its amazing how much quicker and enjoyable the car drives when you get great traction not having to pussy foot around in the wet or dry 10 out of 10 I think there would not be to many tyres that would have the traction as these and for a fantastic price. I Guarantee there would be no tyre on the market for the price of these that would come close to these .How the wear im no sure as they are new but in time I will let you know.

elo mate there is no magnum box which comes standard on any xr ford. the best box is a tr 6060 which is the six speed out of the fg turbo, or NA they are the same except for ratios.mate I put a tr6060 out of fg turbo into my ba no problem just change cross member yolk and shifter. if you need one msg me.

I had the same problem but it got alot worse once I put the boost up and it was a valve spring issue also I would be changing PCV Valve on top of rocket cover if your loosing oil somewear also check out the inlet of your turbo you could be burning oil thru it.

hello mate they will not fit as the bolts on a ba/bf are east west and the fg is north south. I just put a tr6060 in my ba and had to get a fg shifter then modified to shorten it.
