fantastic works a treat. please delete. cheers Michael

hi guys have just sold the xr6 turbo and want to sell some parts I have. No use sitting in my garage, someone on here might as well have em. I get an error when posting in the for sale section: The error returned was: Sorry, you do not have permission to start a topic in this forum I have over the post count required and have e-mailed the moderators address with no response a few times in the past. Can someone please help enable the option for me? please feel free to PM me and delete this thread. ta michael

The link was from another forum and was asked to be removed by the person hosting it as it was starting to cost the poor bugger money with the major increase in traffic downloading it. ← no worries I'll put up my link this arvo then. cheers

Hey There, Care to elaborate why we are doing the wrong thing? Its only to help members to fix and service cars etc? cheers Michael

that's pretty common knowledge mate every man and his dog mentiones it just about every second day. sorry you got caught out! :(

sigh ah well how can I test the actuator can hold say 14psi? Obv I need some compressed air? But how do I go about it? dont want to just replace it. thanks Michael

is / was nick up here at the moment? I didnt realise :(

replaced the solenoid tonight. no difference. yes its around 3000rpm ie when it should be hitting full boost. just like the boost curve posted up the top of this thread. Im going to go on another dyno again, and check boost curve again before I look at replacing actuator... cant think of anything else it would be? :(

Picked up the solenoid today from Ford. Will pop it in tonight when I get home.... Hopefully this is the fix. does anyone forsee the problem being the actuator? spring having problems controlling the flap? ah well see tonight, as I spose actuator is next? cheers Michael

hey Tex I thought you was leaving it stock for a while? that's what I remember you saying??? hahah good work mate! michael

especially a Brand New BF 6 speed for $35k drive away!!! too good to refuse.

Denmac Indroopilly (Brisbane) dont have any instock. $39 will arrive tomorow... will let you know if they have the right thing (ie price is off what you said) tomorow. :D

I personally for the cash would go the xr6t. will be just as quick when you do the light mods.. :D mind you F6 is miles better, interior, exterior, wheels brakes etc etc etc :D personally I wont pay$50k+ for a ford falcon. lol

I'll upload a copy today anyway so the load gets spread around... cheers for sharing mate michael

thanks blonk I thought for some reason the solenoid was more expensive? if anyone has a part number I'll order one and pick up tomorow??? as stated above, spent full day removing every intercooler hose and every vacuum hose, double checked tham all. and re-fitted some new clamps to everything! :D I'll defo buy a new solenoid, I expected they be $100+ from ford lol. cheers Michael

yeh defo getting it on the dyno is a good idea. as I now have a dyno graph of before problems and now problems, its giving me some clues at least. the boost going up and down in that above attachment explains the feeling I get. just need to know if anyone has had it before!!! :D

I spose this is a continuation of previous threads... http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...topic=30497&hl= then moved into this one after everyone bashed the tuner and made some guesses... http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...topic=30852&hl= Basically, since then... Ford replaced 'some' clamps (Bu they was still crap), Ive been through and checked EVERY vacuum hose, taken off inspected, reseated, every intercooler pipe etc, replaced Every Clamp myself with decent ones. Checked reseated the crossover pipe a million times. Did find a missing bolt from the turbo-manifold now replaced. Double checked since manifold and turbo bolts. Cleaned the solenoid out with wd-40. But all this doesnt seem to have fixed the problem. I have attached an image last time it was on the dyno with this problem. You can feel this surging of the boost fluctuating in the car. before it picks up and goes... So is this a faulty solenoid or an actuator problem... (Starting to boil down to the only 2 things left?) getting sick of it now, gonna sell this pos if I dont find it soon. lol Im not the kind of person that replaces parts willy nilly. I like to know why its broken see the proof and replace only that part. Otherwise you end up replacing 10 things at a cost of 3 grand or so before you fix the problem. lol cheers for any help. I appreciate it. Michael

yeh I will do, nothing special. Just the normal 'good' clamps that gets an 8mm socket on them. Miles better than what ford gave us lol. about$1.99 each I think from supercheap. if you have problems you can get those super funy good ones. more like $6 each. well worth it. I used to have problems with my GTR popping pipes off. all good those. thanks for the advice guys, bumper and light removal was easy as. replaced all clamps today. :D cheers Michael

yep im going to replace him too. thanks doing them all. so I spose the next question is. front bumper easy to remove??? lol :D cheers fellas michael

hahah just below :D

Hey All Im replacing my intercooler hose clamps with good ones atm. How do you get to the one behind the rhf headlight? Take the headlight out? Is there more than the 2 bolts for the headlight??? cheers Michael

if something gets orginised and we get a date im in. michael

I should have one online soon. I have an offer now to send it over. Any truth, a few people have warned me about hosting them, as Ford wouldnt be pleased? I dont see an issue, especially that carnts are selling them on ebay lol. :D WHen I see a copy I'll see if it has anything about copyright on it. cheers Michael

Like I say If anyone is prepared to send it me via any means I will provide it to anyone for free. I'll have it online on a good server. mick

most definately my opinion too. hence why I took the actions I took. including the tuner who I chose. :D cheers fellas.
