Status On My Car's Tune...
Obviously an efficient intercooler !!! Thanks Danny, I tried a few different units in my head to see if it made sense, but that's one I didn't try !!! So can that data capture show you the timing advance and injector duty cycle. Is that the Sniper package ? Robin.

Hey Danny what units are the Boost Desired & Error in ??

Status On My Car's Tune...
Danny, How do you get the thing to deliver such boost so low in the rev range ? Your graphs don't show how it builds up, it just starts at about 18psi. I'd figure at 75kmh in third gear the RPM would be around 2000rpm, and I've never seen full boost that low before. What's the trick ?? It is just done with a heap of advance? Cheers Robin.

Upgrading Clutch Plates
The later version clutches no longer have any circlips. These were pins which came out from the flywheel and thru the intermediate (centre) plate, with small circlips on the ends. These use to come free and float around in the clutch till they jammed something up. I have attached a copy of the OEM manual for reference, which gives quite detailed drawings of what the clutch should look like. It shows the J-clips which are used to keep the intermediate (centre) plate located and talks about the rub blocks, etc which were used to prevent excessive rattle. Note, they still rattle a little !!! BTW I have a cerametallic plate which I didn't use that suits the twin plate, so PM me if your interested. Cheers Robin. F6_Clutch.pdf

Progress Update: How Is BCL's Car Going?
Brian, Very sorry to hear about the misfortune. At least your OK, and no body was hurt. Although my wife says I love my car more than her, I know which one can be replaced, and which one can't !! Take care, and I look forward to hearing about the rise of the phoenix. Cheers Robin.

Hid Lights
Sorry about that George, I've never been flashed by anyone coming the other way. Also they are set not to point high (ie down on the road). I was even thinking about putting in another set in the hi beam lights (ie dual hi/lows) so I have 4 headlights in both hi/low !!! But I figure the hi-beam reflector will point the light up to high for low beam use. Anyway just an idea... Cheers Robin.

Hid Lights
Hey George, I've got a set of the GE Xenon HIDS. Here's some info I posted up on them, they are the Bi-Xenon H4 kit, and cost me $300 thru Richie of Equibs. Cheers Robin. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...c=32616&hl=

Ford Ba Cobra ..... My Way
I did. Got machining done by Rowan Ambrose at Extreme Rotaries, I made the manifolds, piping, fuel rails, etc. Just got to stop f....ing around with the Ford long enough to finish the damn thing. Cheers Robin.

Slammed My Car Even More
That's low, and with the FPV style bars you'll have some fun with driveways, etc. Looks tuff though. I had my car with SSL/SL springs and ended up raising it up again (using adjustables), the dump pipe and cat use to hit too many bumps, etc. Have a look under the rear of the car and see if you are resting on the bump stops, if you have only ten mm of travel or less you will need to cut them down or get shorten versions. If you don't and you do hard clutch dump (or hard launch in auto), you might find it will bottom out and that's a great way to bust CVs. No travel means infinite suspension rate in the rear and something else gives, a bit of tramp and bang !!! Cheers Robin.

Ford Ba Cobra ..... My Way
Yeah, one that has been a long time coming. I started it before I got the Ford !!! Here's a pic from awhile ago, before much of the mods, and one of the 13BT engine. Cheers Robin.
