So last Thursday I was driving my car back home and noticed some white smoke and slight ticking... It seriously felt like I just got shot...... This will only happen once I backed of booting it..I took it home and got my mechanic to check it out the next day. As a result, and after heaps of testing, compression test came back that cylinder 4 & 6 were f4arked..I purposely bought the BF M2 for this reason not to blow and "apparently" has the typhoon bottom end. In a way its sorta my fault as the car was bought tuned already at Pulse, sh1tty turner with sh1t tune. I also had all the rest of most ready to go on before it went to tune house as people always said any work carried out on these things tune it straight away. Anyway, I went round with head down and in disappointment. As soon as it starts now it’s like a smoke show. Towed it home and now sitting in me garage. Now....what would be the best options here. My mechanic said get a new/used short motor n put all accessories on it. I found 2, not new but wreckers want close to 2k for this. I also found a guy on ebay in Melbourne selling new F6 FG short motors for $2600. Question is does the FG fit? Any other options? Any other options, I do want it fixed before the new year

Agree! Who is the tuner, obviously u wern't happy for a while and he stuffed you up and yet your still willing to cover for him. Shame on U! U derserve the stuff around

Get Greenstuff. Hardly any brake dust.

I would contact the person you bought it of and hit him up. Obviously he knew about the issue and didn't bother to tell you. Sounds to me like its another scum seller....

I had slotted DBA front and rear with Bendix pads. Were good, but had to machine them quiet often. Now I got cross-drilled slotted RDA front and rear with Greenstuff pads. Fk3n awesome. Have lasted for a while no without machining and hardly any brake dust. Got the whole setup for $550

Hi Mate.. Nice setup, will be very simlier to mine. How much boost are you running?

Got the set with the retainers for 32something... Regarding fitting them my close mate, mechanic does it for pretty much nothing mate. I think usually people charge like $4-500 labour time....

Yep these ^^^ were the ones as I called to confirm.

Picked up a crow set with retainers. Mechanic will fit em on Tuesday.

Done 140 Has been stock up untill around 130 Got my Turbo back today, ported and 38mm flapper mod done with Garret 12PSI Actuator. Changed drivers engine mount to. Will find out how smooth it is. Just still battling that weird idle issue.

R you referring to this kit: (VTKAU-R) FORD AU 6 Cyl Race Spring & Retainer Kit$240.24

Reset? Don’t think so…Would this have caused it? Should I put it under the diagnostic tool that you plug in to read for codes?

So as of last Saturday I noticed something abit weird. On cold starts only in P or N after about idling for about 1min the car starts missing beat, jerking, vibrating and engine coughing black smoke like its about to stall. If I slightly accelerate it feels weak and feels like it’s about to stall. The revs at no stage drop or fluctuate. This continues for about 2mins then on its own, idles perfect with no black smoke or anything. At this point in time the temp gauge is like 1/4 and also drives perfect and continues to do so when warm. Turn off/back on and noticed as long as the temp gauge is on around ¼ everything’s fine, anything below it continues to happen. This has been doing the exact same process since Saturday on each occasion when cold. Yesterday I did an oil change, Nulon full synthetic and oil filter and did a trans flush with kit at the same time as it was due. My Mechanic also checked plugs n leads and were fine. This morning I start it and the same sh1t. Any ideas? Do I need to start replacing the 02sensor/TPS or clean the TB? The car has had a cappa ver1 tune when I bought it. Could it be just the sh1ty tune doing this? Can I keep driving it and not worry until I get my final mods done and get it all custom tuned with the xcal3 Also, is it normal for the temp gauge to reach half way (2/4) bar on hot days. Just want to confirm as iv'e seen other posts whereby it never goes over the 1/4 bar.
