It is possible, I imagine! 🤣 Keith has had success! I didn’t succeed and had to get a thread repair in nearly all the head bolt holes 🤦♂️🤣. I struggled with the fact that getting to the turbo flange bolts were blocked by the waste gate actuator and without a hoist is annoying as! now I don’t remember which ones are helicoiled and it’s got another exhaust leak, now after 5” dump install it’s keeping flapper closed on 8psi spring and making around 27-29psi max load on a T5 box ahahaha. Second engine so far!

Hey all, happy Bathurst day! 🎂 can anyone lead me in the direction of the most trustworthy shops to spend bank at on the BA XR6 Turbo + T in Vic? As I’m about to take the car over there from TAS and have no idea where to go! advice would be much appreciated! 😄 I hope You all enjoy yet another Bathurst day, enjoy the brisket and beers! 🍻 -
I’ve heard that the Falcon LSD’s are lazy in all variants, just more so in the NA’s
-
I saw that on the torque lock LSD’s, one can only assume that most people would assume that all NA 6 cylinders (Inc XR6) had open diffs, making Me still curious 🧐
-
I definitely know that the XR6 N/A’s came with an M78 open centre, the difficult question to answer is whether when ‘rarely’ optioned for the LSD out of the factory, did they just change the centre of said M78 or just whack an M86 straight out of the XR8’s into them?
-
They don’t like acknowledging any work that isn’t a Camry cabin filter replacement! 🤦♂️😝

Here in Tassie, the diff/trans shops will tell you anything to get you to not book in 🤣

Now after much searching and research, I can’t find a definitive answer as to whether a 2005 BA MK|| XR6 that from factory opted with a 3.45 LSD is a M78 31 or 28 spline or an M86 from The XR6 turbos and xr8’s. the current LSD pegs but when on the hoist spins both in the same direction under no load and is in tip top shape. A definitive answer would be mint! Because I’m buying a Truetrac but need to know which one! 🤟

Yes, yes they are 🫠 as for the answer to the question, most new CSC’s from a reputable clutch company have an integrated release bearing.
-
Is this topic in the wrong section or does no one comment anymore?
-
I recently got an xtreme clutch kit put in My Falcon and the kit came with a new concentric slave cylinder, I am wondering whether the t5’s have a release bearing seperate to the CSC and if so then they re used the old one or whether the new CSC comes with an integrated release bearing? Can anyone clarify this please? kit was KFD26690-1A

Evening all. I just have a quick question regarding a BA xr6 NA+T on whether I should put 6.5litres (NA) amount or 7 litres (turbo)? Every time I go to change the oil I always forget what I should put in. (Every time……..) also on a side note, when I got home today, I accidentally stalled the car 🤦♂️ because the clutch is on its way out and with the key still in the ‘on’ position but the engine off after stalling, there was a chiming sound and the oil light flashed after about 3 seconds. Anything to be concerned about? definitely has good, clean oil in it.

So as I was trying to put the bolts back in after fitting the new gasket, I totally threaded about four of them and can’t get them tight enough now to even keep the manifold close enough to get some exhaust gasses in there. What are my options? Where do I go from here? 😵💫🤕
-
Would it be possible to do in the engine bay? Quite a simple job? Just want to get it done so I can drive the vehicle “safely” without everyone staring wondering what the noise is lol
-
Thanks for the reply, maybe I didn’t describe it properly, I was thinking of unbolting all the bolts to the head and sliding it out that way without actually taking the turbo off the bottom of the manifold. the way your describing, do I have to unbolt the turbo at all or can the manifold wiggle free enough to put a new gasket on there? also, are the Permaseal gaskets good enough to run without much issue? Only running 8psi at 243kw.
