Fuel Pressure Issue
Keep in mind that If it's setup as a twin feed rail you can't run one pump off a pressure switch so keep that in mind!! You would need to control both pumps simultaneously....if each pump has a separate feed line anyway!

Wa Cruise August 16Th - Bring Earplugs
This cruise sounds like Bathurst....all about conserving fuel. The utes have a bigger tank so I reckon Ben might have this one!!

E85 on the Barra Turbo: Tuning, Fuel System & Results
Live tuning is awesome....if I had the tech skills to link the CAN bus into a Haltec Elite I would do it. There's a few things the ford system won't do that is frustrating. So I put a new pump in my $hitbox BA and took the check valve out. Car was then horrible on cold starts. Put a new rail / injectors / reg in yesterday as well as a check valve. Car starts good again. In short....I like check valves especially when dealing with e85.

Water/methanol Injection
45T-XR's account is the best I've heard. He definitely wasn't getting more timing so it's pretty cool to hear what the water/meth did. In warmer climates I'd definitely be considering it!

Error Codes After Tune....p0236 P0238 P0420....
P0236 is the t-MAP pegging. P0238 is the boost pressure sensor pegging. You can disable them easily for big boost cars, but I wouldn't touch them if you are operating within the limits of the sensors. Did this get sorted?

Aftermarket Fuel Filters...what I Did!
Yeah I remember looking at the Earls compression fittings at the time. The ones I was looking at were only rated to 50psi or something....right on the cusp!!! But I reckon they would be fine anyway, quite a few people use them on other vehicles. Post the pressure rating if you can find one, these maybe rated higher ?

E85 on the Barra Turbo: Tuning, Fuel System & Results
You would have had adaptive learning off I bet Trana. With it on and a 1.25 max correction you would have otherwise forced open loop rather quickly.

Got a dynochart showing boost?

Error Codes After Tune....p0236 P0238 P0420....
Personally I don't disable P0236/8 unless I have to as they're there for a reason. Its an FG running 304 kw's and obviously on the small turbo. To me this sounds like its tuned in open loop with the over boost thresholds / P1227 disabled and was probably tuned for 'X' boost on the dyno but with a bit more street load OP is seeing 'Y' boost and thus triggering the codes. If the tuner had disabled the codes, OP would not know they're over-boosting. Sounds like the OP went for a fang when it was cold and probably was getting into higher gears and thus seeing more boost. Tune just needs a little more work IMO, no biggie.

FG Falcon Wheel Offsets & Tyre Sizes (Fitment Guide & Questions)
You mentioned a 10.5 front and 10 rear, this right? What offset you reckon you'll need with a 10.5? You'll just have a bit of poke that's all.

Manual Only Ba-Fg, Xr6 Turbo ¼ Mile Times
Never even realised my name was on the board from a run I did 6 years ago haha. That was a 12.22 @ 116 mph with 308 rwkw. Youngy also did a 11.7 which was the quickest manual at the time.

WA Spotted & Chit Chat Thread
When I bought mine new, it was cheaper to insure a new one compared to a second hand...due to the number of claims against them.

WA Spotted & Chit Chat Thread
Yeah I turned off just before Scarborough on the last cruise and the one before that I was a passenger in Mummba's. I do enjoy the cruises and wish I could get out on them more.....I have some fond memories of the old cruises with F6_UTE and youngy being absolute hoons lol. Good times! I would love to get into an F-series but I've spent so much time on the car and I drives so god damn good that I can't bring myself to part with it ?

New Precision Bolt-On Turbo
Veva, what's the compressor and exhaust turbine specs / sizing. 32psi is certainly puffing!! Was told 0.84....but probably meant 0.82!. Interesting MA19CK, will have to read into that a bit more :-)
-
FG Falcon Wheel Offsets & Tyre Sizes (Fitment Guide & Questions)
With a 285 on a 10.5" rear you would want to keep the offset at 35 or higher I would think! Even at +35 you would have 32mm less inner clearance and the rim would protrude from the guard very slightly.
-
New Precision Bolt-On Turbo
Veva...the one I'm referring to has a 0.84 not 1.06. 35+psi at redline on a 4.0 L. I'm sceptical.

New Precision Bolt-On Turbo
Heard a 131 mph / 10.88 and 134mph / 10.6X. But not huge boost. Mummba ran his manual F6 on street tyres (Invo's) with about 20psi but couldn't keep any power on the track....was a waste of time. They're one of the (if not the) best mid framed turbos available for our cars so I don't think you can go wrong really. Also another dude went 138/9 mph (10.2) with a T3 6466 and 0.84 rear. Hauling!!!

New Precision Bolt-On Turbo
Me personally, would sacrifice power for horny turbo noise. Making power is easy. Horny turbo noise...not so much.

New Precision Bolt-On Turbo
My GTX3582r is very quiet. Mummba's 6466 sounds much much better....you can hear the whistle. His is a 6BOOST hi mount whereas mine is a 6BOOST low mount, so the positioning makes a little difference also. Boosted1's HTA sounds nuts. That was Boosted1's 3794. Decent sized T3 framed turbs. I've also been in a GT3576r which sounded really good, but I'm pretty sure there would have been a major leak around the turbo intake based on how loud it was.

Mummba is a bad influence.... Same colour as these Aaron. 3 month wait unfortunately, hope they make it in time for Powercruise.
