FairlaneG

ya get it done yet?

I Disagree. I done conversion (Turbo Bolt ons) to my 4.0 BA Fairlane Ghia , You see A xr6t is not & will not be A Fairlane hence me doing this.I wanted to mix prestige/Luxury with some performance. In your case well xt is basically the same just a pov version Eng/Drive line/Interior. But The experience & knowledge you gain doing the conversion is great also fun "At times" so I say go for gold mate ! All up my Ba Fairlane Conversion after the list I will put below where installed by myself & mate's plus Flash Tuner Plus custom Dyno Cost $2,500.00 Not bad for A now Fairlane Ghia with 285rwkw (safe-tune) on 98RON Turbo Exhaust - Ebay $80-100 TMAP2 Sensor - $110 Delivered (Ebay) The Std cold/hot piping/Cross over & Std Ic (Intercooler) Generally like the turbo exhaust come all together - $80 Look around boost Cruising/Ebay/classifieds for your turbo & Manifold & Dump - generally they can sell as package " Turbo - Manifold - dump pipe" $500 - $600 The Std Plenum you can ether take out the butterflies & use it or find yourself A turbo one with out them "I have seen people with the STD NA Plenums when doing this conversion" They say it adds extra Torque. - $Time You Can keep the Factory ECU but in doing so you must run a manual Boost controller. Boost controller $50 AutoBarn. Also you will need to drill & Tap into the sump to add your oil return line. M8 for tap 10mm for hole. $15 -$20 Oil feed line. I got mine custom made $100 Oil feed line. Brass T $10 Water return line I got A brass T & taped into heater rubber hose = $25 Water feed line I taped into thermastat housing NOTE : Tap under housing as it isn't free flowing above housing. I used 1/8" tap = $8 Also NOTE: When fitting the TMap2 Sensor Reverse wires *** 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 *** *** 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 *** I may have left out A few bit's & pieces but this is the bulk of it. : Say $1000 - $1200 Flash tuner SCT2 - $600 Includes Generic Tune to get you to the dyno SUB TOTAL $1200 Flash Tuner $600 = $1800 + Then all you will need is A custom Tune. Say $1000 = $2800

Sound's fun - Im in the same boat

How did you go Jas?

opened up the loom that hold the 4 wires to the TMAP sensor noticed that the 2 grey wires where split & touching....... Can this cause any manfunction to the computer or computer components or sensor it self . The car is not starting up??

If you hook up the TMAP sensor wrong can you damage the sensor or the ecu ??

Pulled a loom apart. Green heads towards firewall aswell as A Grey. Brown heads towards the Airco end of the loom there it taps into a Brown/ White striped wire that ends up involved in a 3pin connector that goes on A/C Pressure Transducer Also the other grey wire that DOES NOT head to the fire wall also mingles up into that brown/white strip wire too. Those 2 wires that you mention must be the 2 wires that go to the a/c thermistor ( Green & Grey) Question is why ?? Why to these places.... seems weird but I guess that's cause Im in wonder lol

sorry correction.... A/C Pressure Transducer , not a/c thermistor Also why do the wires go up there for , ny ideas what for?

I see... The brown wire that also goes into TMAP sensor & 1 of the grey ones actually goes to the a/c thermistor... Does any one know why?

I fixed fault but now its doing what you just explained..... What was the cause?

Nope . & Nope . New sensor.... Also when you have 6 kids xmas & A low income , Its just a wee bit hard to just pay $100's -$1000 to get it fixed. Yer I am A winner , I put my prioritys fisrt.... & use a forum to seek answers as This is all I can do for now.
