Hey conrad didnt know you were here on this forum Its Dr.Wylde from Oldschool.co.nz cheers

It might fix your problem. Do the TPS first as it will improve the overall situation then check your intake manifold gasket isnt leaking my BA t ran like a sack until I sorted the intake gasket and tps Sent from my anus using Tapatalk 2

hey long time member here! hardly post though! I'm from north otago I have a BA xr6t sedan standard as! ( no real point tuning a semi worn out BA) plan on up grading to an FG at some stage cheers

Not to dig up an old thread but... there was an out come to this issue after reading this old thread made me wish I'd checked back here the following day after the original post. cos ratter was right it was the intake manifold gasket it was completely gone around cyl #1 no wonder it was running like poos . so I repaired this and the car has been running flawlessly ever since! better than when I first got it

Hi Guys, I need some help here ok I Have an'03 BA XR6T stock as its the daily hoon/family car . ok heres the issue I come out in the morning start the car let it warm up. Once warm, pull shifter into reverse and the engine begins misfiring and the engine light comes on. so I shut off the engine . restart it and try again. result vary by the day!! goes in D fine after 2 attempts but reverse is always playing up continuously now and its getting worse this has been happening over the last month. Now I will admit I have not had the box serviced in awhile ( that's slackness on my part,I'll admit it) has anyone experienced this from their BTR 4 spd any ideas? cheers in advance

hi guys just caught up on this thread since my last post. been shopping round for parts. found nothing (sucks being so far south) have decided to hold off on the power upgrades just yet and look more into strengthening the weak bits first.My research shows that the BA has weak valve springs so I thought I should start there. I dont want to go too nutty on the setup just make it gruntier than standard. I would like to retain most of the stock donk Eg. internals and the turbo. and upgrade intake ,fuel system, exhuast and of course get that ruddy 4-speed strengtened to cope. I'm guessing that this could take me to near 300rwkw. dont want thing to break on me hence the strengthening idea cheers

sounds like the way to go cheers mate will be on the hunt over the next few months. I'm a cow cocky for a crust and in the process of selling some livestock will be buying parts after then

Only have the standard xr6t 4 spd tranny from what ive heard these are one of the cars biggest weak spots when it comes to tuning. power goal or goals: short term 260-270rwkw long term 300- beyond just dont have the funds to big things atm eg opening engine or strengthening tranny. you'll have to excuse the dumb questions and my naievity (new to all things EFI and turbo) so anyways what do you lads reckon? how much grunt can the diff take before breaking?

hey guys having a few issues with the t atm anyways as I had stated before I have a BA MKI now considering mods quite keen on the wastegate flapper mod however I know the BAI's have some fairly weak internal bits eg.valve springs from what I've heard so before I go about making som extra kw's what and where do think I should start. when it comes to uprgrading to stronger internal parts cheers the jet

I agree with everyone else take your time we searched for a good one for 6 months and ended up buying one sight unseen(I'm mad) from auckland and I live in the far south of NZ. however I went through a vehicle broker we paid $15800 NZD for our 2003 BA MKI auto xr6t with leather trim and premium sounds had 3 minor issues which were rectified at ford oamaru at the broker's expense. that and we had to put 4 new tyres on it and only 120000k's on the clock. the minor flaws aside wasnt a bad deal in the end given that we bought it sight unseen but she was the best deal at the time. I plan on buying an XR6T ute next after the old WB kingswood Ute sells. this time however I will be way more piccy about the car and wont be buying sight unseen. the wait is well worth it and if you go through a dealer KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER. if they fail to comply with the consumer rights act then nail them.

yeah wouldnt mind doing a few mods to the xr6t so far I'm thinkin I'll doo the exhuast cooler and air intake the get it tuned

Hi guys just wanted to know if there are any south island xr6t nuts on the forum I'm from north otago and I own a BA MKI xr6t stock as a rock
