Recently swapped my VZ + cash for a 2003 5 speed Manual BA XR6T Body and paint are clean. However mechanically not so great. Thrust Bearing whines and he suspects the gearbox needs replacing. It was a tad noisy, but drove ok. It also came with a new gearbox. How much labour am I looking at to replace the gearbox? The clutch pedal felt spongeyish as if there was air in the system or something, but seemed to shift gears fine. As I got home I noticed there was no pressure in the coolant system (tested top rad hose) and she was bubbling and gurgling. Hoping it's just the top rad cap.. Checked the oil for any milkyness and it was clean so head gasket should be ok. Now I haven't driven one of these, but she came on boost strong and pulled hard till about 3500rpm, then it seemed to drop and be a steady curve all the way through the rev range. Just felt too slow for me I thought she'd have a bit more beans than that. Could be a blown turbo possibly? Also, on idle she's a bit shakey (motor) old engine mounts maybe? And the revs go up and down very very marginally on idle like 50rpm tops. I have driven the car to my nans place and that was it. I'm going to have a good look over her tomorrow and give you guys some feedback but this is all I've got so far.. I will record a video tomorrow of me driving the car I'll do a few pulls see what you guys think. Cheers. /

hay mechanics, automotive engineers and anybody who knows more than me about race/track cars. So track day with my Mitsubishi 2.5 Twin Turbo and I blew a turbo because when you go round a corner really fast all the oil goes to the side of the sump and the turbo got no oil (apparently) track day with Expensive Daewoo SS VE 6 Litre V8 similiar problem, engine overheated and engine warning light kept coming on while driving around the track because oil pump couldnt pump oil out of the sump because oil was sloshing around the sides of the sump. Never had any problems with Nissan Skyline and or my GTR but anyway, No more Mitsis Nissans or Holdens. I'm a Ford guy now!!!!!!! I'm about to do a track day in my FG XR6 Turbo (it is stock standard (just the way Ford made it)) (future mods coming (I only just bought it)) My questions is: What measures should I take to ensure I don't blow a turbo or starve the engine of oil? Any pre-track modifications I should do to make sure the engine will be safe and reliable for a day of hard and quick driving around the track. Any advice appreciated.......

So ill start off with our car "XR6 Turbo" BF with an FG setup and over 440 rwkws was written off in an accident I had, now we have just acquired a rare XR6 NA with the ZF and in Chromaflair (Fantasy) with apparently 1000 made. We will put most of the running gear into this new car and start all over again. Each time we do some mods ill keep adding pictures of the build and if I run into any issues I'm sure this site and friends could help me. This is going to be one epic run and long process but where committed. Thanks Let the build begin

I have an option of 2 cars im incredibly stuck on... 2008 FPV f6 with 100,000km ($26,000) or 2015 FGX xr6 turbo with 50,000km ($30,000) The FPV f6 will retain a lot of its value and its already modified a bit and making 300rwkw (about $2500 worth of mods), and it has brembo brakes and simply the FPV badge. Where as the FGX is the newer car, under warranty, and its just a fresh new car that not many people have atm. And I really do love the new FGX front design with the lights. Where as the fpv's have been around for a while now and every person has modded them and stuff, so I can be a bit more original and stand out more in the fgx? I have driven both and they both drive really well. Just unsure which one to buy. I do plan on keeping the car for a while. Just wondering of the 10 year old FPV is too old now, and whether its 'smarter' tobuy the new car despite it being much more subtle than the FPV. Eventually I will modify both and want them to stand out as much as possible. So torn apart help!!!!!!!!!

Hi all, I have a BA 2002 xr6 ute with 340,000 on the clock. My old mans has 450,000 on the clock and it’s been across the desert 3 times so I’m not too worried on how mine will last but I’ve found an xr6 turbo engine (ba) that comes with exhaust, intercooling piping, intercooler and all the bit and pieces for a reasonable price. The engine has only done 170,000 and the turbo has little to no wear. It also comes with the ECU. My ute has a 5 speed manual which I hear is very weak so I am also looking at the 6speed. I an am aware there are lots of threads about this and I have read them all but most of them are old and price are very different now. They also had donor cars which I do not but I am willing to spend time and money on this car. I do not want to sell mine and buy a turbo because mine isn’t worth anything with the km it has done and a decent one is still up around 6.5 and if I can do this slowly I’ll be happy. so I am just wondering if all I will need is the wiring looms and fuse box. I know I will also have the get the computers cleared and reprogrammed but is that all? Forgot to mention that the motor was an auto. If I could get in contact with someone who has done this before that would be good too.

Just wondering if anyone knows the torque specs for the tail shaft coupling/flex joint for a 2012 Falcon FG Xr6 Turbo Auto. Been searching on the forums and haven't been able to find any torque specs as of yet. If I can't find any I might just do it up to my own standard of bloody tight. I had a look for commodores and its 75-85 for one model but 115 for another, so I'm really unsure :/ any help is appeciated, cheers! Edit: 75-85nm or 115nm

Just wondering if anyone has a pillar guage set up in there car it looks good but I don't know if I won't the light in my face when driving at night. I now I can just choose red as it seems to be a better night driving colour but still might get annoying after a while.

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what this could have been. Stock standard 2012 FG XR6T MKII, ZF auto, 38,000KM Rolling over a give way into a 100kph zone I floored it and when it shifted into second gear there was a very very loud bang / thud from the gearbox. It continued to drive fine, so slowed down and floored it again but this time it shifted fine into second, and hasn't done it since. I'm wondering if I should service the transmission, its only done 38,000KM but is 5 year old oil in there? -

Hi guys Need help My brother has a factory ba xr6 non turbo manual and he decided to get it turbo charged So we stripped an xr6 turbo and took the engine and loom and ecu that was an auto. We have already fitted it into his car but the donor car was an auto and we have bolted it up to his manual box. We completed the conversion and it came up with security code on icc so We put his manual ecu on and cant get the car to start. Wat else am I needing to do to get it running Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm considering buying a second hand xr6 turbo and was just wondering if any of you could help me with some pointers on what to look out for, for example how many kilometres is too much? on average when do parts start to blow? My budget on only 5k and most cars at this price usually have over 170'000 on the meter which is why I would like some help on what to look out for. Thanks

Hello I'm a New Member as of today.... I'm Rockin a Gold 04 Ba Xr6 Turbo Ute in the Far North of New Zealand. How did I get here you ask ? (or not)...Here go's anyway!. Having a owned few early, mid and late 70's falcons as well having driven a range of 80's 90's and later models over the years. I have wanted a Turbo Falcon Ute of age's. So after lining the Ca$h it was time to start looking. I hit Gold...as in a Gold Ba XR6 Turbo Ute in reasonable condition... km's...right price... standard unmodified on the right Island (Not a lot come up for sale in New Zealand). Best of all for me is the fact it has 2300kg towing capability 700kg or so tray capacity... it's great on the long haul's really comfortable with heaps of grunt. After the acquisition I had a full service done and replaced the ignition coils, brake rotors and pads as well as new performance tires. Upgrades for my Ute on the horizon are : Upgraded rear leaf springs, Xforce exhaust, cold air intake and dyno tune. I'm here to learn as much as I can and will appreciate any advice. Best time I ever had was driving a Falcon Ute from Brisbane to Bathurst camping out in the back for 3 days watching the V8 Supercars and driving back. Feel free to post or leave a comment. Big Ups to the moderators and contributing members. Cheers

I have a vibration in my wheels at 55 km ph and a couple of other speeds. Its not wheels, alignment or balance. I have been told that it could be the harmonics in the exhaust and air flow through the breathing of the car. Done a CAI, Tune, High Flow Cat, 4 inch dump, stock exhaust. Looking at putting a Xforce 3.5 inch cat back exhaust on which might fix or move the vibration to a new speed. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what you did to fix. Thanks 2013 XR6T

HI guys I'm Josh, I just joined up to your forum as I am a big enthusiast for the XR6 TURBO's and would love to dicuss anything and everything about them. I currently have a 2004 July Built BA XR6 TURBO that has had alittle work done peformance wise and mechanically. I have literally in the last 3 weeks had; - turbo core replaced - new braided oil line - all new inlet and outlet hoses replaced - new engine mounts - new front drivers side wheel bearing replaced - rear brakes re-done Along with a few other general maintenance things sorted. The issue I seem to have now come across is that when the car is turning left at certain degrees and at certain speeds, I am getting a rubbing/vibrating sensation that has only come out in the last 3 days, along with this I have also noticed a thumping kind of sound coming from under the car roughly around the footwell area upon turning and also going over bumps. My mechanic has advised me my propshaft bearing is worn but said it would not be an issue for a while. I was hoping you guys could help point me in the right direction with possible issues.

G'day to all. Have managed to secure an XR6 Sprint and yes I had a choice and chose the 6 over the 8 because it is an Aussie engine, not an American engine tweaked to suit Aussie standards, not that I think there's anything wrong with the 8. It was a patriotic decision and I'm more than happy. I need help though. Have been out of the car scene for an eternity. Running it in to get the best out of it. The dealership will tell me one way but is it the best way???? Have heard run them in hard and they go hard, do this, do that, don't do this, don't do that etc etc etc. I'm all about getting the best out of the car,enjoying it but also looking after it and preserving it seeing as it is the last of a true Aussie icon. So seriously. What is the best way to run it in and get the best out of it?? Also one more thing. Car Clubs in W.A I could join. I'd like to be able to do track days where I can really enjoy it legally. lol and cruise events etc. Thanks.

Hi I was wondering if the fg mk2 luxury pack 19inch wheels fit over pbr m-series brakes because even brake shops I've spoken to seem to all have different answers. If they don't then what brake kits do fit. Thanks
