  1. Hey guys so roughly 2 weeks ago I finished up putting an m86 lsd diff from an 05 BA xr8 Sedan, finally stages of the swap and apparently my 03 Na xt sedan tailshaft is too long, I've been unable to locate a xr6 turbo tailshaft to suit the btr and my na tailshaft has brand new centre bearing and uni, so I've come to the conclusion il just get the na one shortened, I've taken a few measurements but before I hand it off to the driveline mob along with my key card does anyone possibly have the measurements of an xr6T tailshaft so I can find the exact amount I need to get the rear section shortened on mine? And help would be greatly appreciated haha
  2. Little update, Got the car back from the tuner this arvo, its running beautifully with the 1000cc injectors, boost control is perfect, its currently making 380hp at 12 psi through the NA auto btr, unfortunately it does need valve springs to proceed any further power wise, inter cooler is also suffering from some minor heatsoak, aswell as the na gearbox isn't enjoying it too much as its slightly slipping when using trip tronic, I've sourced a turbo btr to put in, and hopefully get the valve springs sorted by jan next year, pretty happy with the car the way it is atm though, alot more pokey
  3. Yeah Ive removed the inner, ran just the 7psi outer, pre loaded it to the point where I could just spin the flap, put it all back on and discovered coolant eats through boost line, so I've gone and got some 12bar rated fuel hose ?, put it all back together and took it for a drive and bingo hit 7 psi and spiked to about 7.5, so I'm cheering it's fixed, just gotta wait a few days to get the boost T then off to tgr tuners, happy days thanks for all your help wouldn't have been able to do it without ya
  4. Alright, the bigger spring is 62mm long and the smaller is roughly 38, would you wreckon removing the smaller or larger spring or the smaller one and adjusting it up with a boost T? Also il attach a photo of the maximum opened wastegate with just the smaller spring in I'm. Wondering if this will be sufficient travel to maintain the boost level I need
  5. Alright, so this morning I've ripped the manifold and turbo back off, set the compressor to 1 bar of boost and the mf barely opens, not sure if the regs is I <3 Bananased or what. But I've now pulled the wastegate apart and I was presented with this Is it supposed to have 2 springs in their? And am I able to remove one to get it to open earlier or? I've booght this second hand off a mate and when I feed it with full pressure air from the compressor it opens up alot? And ideas
  6. Haha yeah I understood it, had that happen aswell awhile ago, was abit of an oh sh*t moment
  7. Will do, nah just standard not ported yet
  8. Yeah I think it may just be too tight, il I <3 Bananas around and pull the entire exhaust side off again tomorrow and adjust the pre load to the point where I'm able to rotate the flapper when it's "shut", but yes boost spiked to 15-17 straight away I backed off as quick as I could when I seen it go above ten
  9. Alright that makes some sense, it was originally the factory wastegate with a turbo smart boost T to bleed it to 10psi, boost T has been removed and the boost line is connected on the nipple of the turbo straight to the new wastegate, I just figured it woulda opened at 12
  10. I should have mentioned it's a xt converted to turbo with turbo motor and all of that but it's still run by the na ecu, so no boost solenoid unfortunately
  11. My original wastgate took a sh*t so I've picked up a new 12psi turbosmart wastegate the once specifically designed for the barras, it's a ba, stock turbo, has been tuned to 10 psi and its about to go and get 1000cc injectors fitted and a retune but I've just finished putting the new wastegate on and I think I've set the pre load correctly where it was about 1-2mm pulled shut to ensure it won't leak but on the drive just before it instantly jumped to 15psi and that's when I let off? What's the go I've confirmed the wastegate works with an air compressor and it snaps. Open and shut perfectly, only thing I think it could be is the pre load? Should I have fitted it so the wastegate flapper moves ever so slightly or?? Any help. Would be appreciated
  12. Hahah sweet, what's the chances of the big bolt breaking apparently it's common and I'm assuming if I snap it whole cradle gotta come out anyway?
  13. Not sure if this would work or not, but I've jacked the car up this afternoon and spinning the wheels with the car in park is causing the main centre diff bush to bang up and down, now from what I can see I would be able to easily access and change that bush if I was to cut a hole in the spare wheel well to gain access? will this work ? because I only need to change the main rear one and id rather not have to pull out the entire cradle
  14. Nah havnt gotten to the bottom of it, I put it down to just an old warn out na barra, 300k old valves and valve springs so I'm just going to swap it for a standard turbo motor, took it back for a re tune and made no different, live data was showing everything was working the way it was supposed to until it began building boost and it was like all the compression just vanished
  15. Hmm might be best to just find a turbo engine, put it in and go and get it re tuned
  16. hahah oh sheeeeeeeeit, Are you positive? because on a cold morning it will start second key and pur like a kitten without a single issue, can free rev it in park and it wont miss a beat all the way to limiter, its just when it gets to 4-5 psi of boost it does that sh*t That rattle you can kinda hear in the video is the exhaust mount also,
  17. Hmm, so little update on my last post, 2 weeks ago the car was tuned to suit 10psi, Although during tuning it began to break down under load and carry on, so it sat for a week while I saved up the coin for new plugs and genuine ford coil packs So today I spent $320 on genuine ford coil packs, and roughly $60 on iridium plugs, gapped to 0.7mm, Once I finished this I took it for a drive, but thus like before the poxy piece of sh*t wouldnt boost over 4 psi without a loud and very noticible bang bang bang bang as you'll see in the video below, I then proceeded to go and buy a raceworks 255lph fuel pump as it was on the list to be done anyway along with a new ryco hi flow fuel filter, BUT! the issue is still their, can't boost over 4 psi according to the gauge, and just loses all power and starts popping and backfiring, In the second video it will rev in park all the way to limiter without a miss or any issue, no matter what happens a check engine light never comes on, so far I've concluded the following could be I <3 Bananased Cam ange sensors TPS Valve Springs < Really hope its not that one Any ideas as to what it could be? Personally I'm leaning towards valve springs, which would suck because that means the car will be off the road for another month until I have $1200 to get them done :(
  18. Begins reading boost at roughly 2200 rpm light throttle, by about 3000 rpm it reads constant 2.8, boost gauge goes up to 5 psi and that's where it sits, no codes or any warnings showing up on the data log, if it blows before tune then so be it, NA barra engines are about $150 from the wreckers up here anyway so this is really just a test of strength
  19. little update, Turbo is on, exhaust is on, XR6T FPR is on, water and oil are hooked up, inter cooler is installed, waste gate is connected, ive been driving it around for about 4-5 days now un tuned, WOT, boosting hard all over the place and it seems to be running very well, although it is running incredibly rich but that is expected, only downside to that is the spark plugs sometimes go a bit funny and itll miss and carry on after a long and hard pull (racing a mates VL), fixes itself after a few minutes though, other then that it runs pretty well, had the obd2 gauge plugged in constantly and no faults or knocks detected, 0 detonation, and for some strange reason the standard 1 bar map sensor is reading up to 2.8psi of boost, but yeah aside from being barely able to keep the fuel up to it I have no complaints, its set to be tuned in the next week or so
  20. The issue is the hole was already their I just had to drill through the thin part to go all the way through
  21. After a few beers and nigh time I I <3 Bananased up the turbo drain on my na to turbo conversion, I now need to modify the drain so it stops leaking oil everywhere, I want to tap the hole and screw in a barb fitting, does anyone know what size tap and fitting I will need for the big oil drain hole in the sump?
  22. Alright, I think il just bolt it all up and hope for the best, il limit it to 5 psi max, run the turbo fuel pressure reg with stock injectors, and pray the ecu compensates as much as it can
  23. Haha yeah, I was somewhat hoping the xr6T FPR would compensate for lack of tune slightly, I was just interested to see what I could do to semi drive it around boosted without the tune until the funds allow me to drop $1,000 on getting it tuned properly, I wasn't going to go out and start boosting it hard, just if it was to hit 5psi or so for brief periods if it'd handle it, im not overly phased if it does go bang as I have a spare NA motor, and my mates also have spare barra's just sitting around, would you expect it to possibly last 2-4 weeks boosted and untuned? or will I just blow it the first time it spools
  24. Awwwrighty so I'm beginning to piece up all the sh*t I need to boost this NA barra I've got, ive got a 2 bar MAP sensor, and the xr6T fuel regulator, if I was to run stock boost with only replacing the fuel pressure regulator until I can get the tune how safe is it to drive around without the tune? Or will it go tick tick boom on me? haha
