https://www.sparesbox.com.au/part/drivetech-transmission-cooler-kit-fits-ford-falcon-au-ba-bf-0555-334882 link to the cooler I bought! Hey everyone, just purchased a new cooler kit for my NA Ford Falcon BF 2007 4 speed auto. Does anyone have any idea if buying this completely gets rid of the heat exchanger as one of the clips are leaking that connect to the heat exchanger and the clips are $180 so going with the cooler kit is much more efficient. If anyone knows how to install one of these could you comment in the thread below!

Hey guys looking for some advice. I converted my BA to a 6 speed manual and am about to wire up a reverse lockout solenoid Control box that actives under 8 kmh. The control box requires input from the vehicle speed sensor VSS. Some cars have this on the gearbox. But with the falcon the speed reads off the wheel bearings and into the abs? Can I tap into the two wire speed sensor from the back of the wheel for my VSS? Will abs affect any of this? Cheers http://www.grcperformance.com/Instructions/Reverse Lockout.pdf Attached is the instructions. Last page has the wiring diagram

Hey guys looking for a hand looking to swap my boot for a g6e boot lid to lose the spoiler. I have a 2014 xr6 turbo and looking if anyone’s done similar and has any tips or tricks cheers.

Hey people, I have a 2007 MK2BF, everything is stock. I noticed my car lacking power and could hear a boost leak. Inspected all boost pipes, found pipe on the front of the turbo had come off. Re fitted and tightened, and test drove. Can hear turbo spooling but still has air / boost leak. Turned out my waste gate actuator was faulty. I replaced the actuator and test drove again. Now I cant hear or feel the turbo spooling, but it was before I changed the actuator. Anybody have an idea what the issue could be? Another faulty actuator? Blocked Cat? Thanks in advance

Hey guys the photo below is the current dose pipe setup I’m running, (half silicon and half aluminium) The dose is not as loud and high pitched as what I am wanting would getting a custom made piece of aluminium Removing all the silicon make a difference and would fitting a larger k&n filter do anything?

😁 Hi guys, got my mk 11 xr6 turbo recently and am interested in finding out what modifications are pretty much mandatory to keep it running well. Will probably do some slight power modifications later on but more about reliability at the moment. 80,000ks bone stock auto. Cheers in advance.

Hey guys new to the forum, just bought myself an 2011 fg xr6t with 120k on the clock and barely made it home before the engine light came on. Put a diagnostic tool on it and the error code says P0305 cylinder 5 missfire, I am assuming its a coil, is this a common problem? Seems to be really bad at lower revs. Got to be a record owned the car for about and hour :( Thanks

Hello everyone. Trying to troubleshoot a problem with my Turbo that about has me ready to burn the thing. Any application of throttle more than a half pedal and I loose all power and the ETC light comes on. If I slow to a stop the car idles surging with no throttle. Key off and on and you're good to go. I've replaced the throttle body to no avail, should I replace the pedal? Cheers.

Iv tested for spark an it only sparks after I stop cranking it over its got us really lost any help would be awesome cheers

Hey guys and gals I have just recently purchased some second hand 4 spot Brembos off a Falcon thinking they would go straight on my Turbo Terry but not the case. I have seen them on a few Territories but no one seems to have an off the shelf bracket set up I can buy

Hey there, Just wondering if anyone has the torque settings for the FG Turbo manifold? + If anyone has a whole booklet of the torque settings for the FG Turbo Falcon

Xr6 keeps unlocking doors,any one please help,regards Rory,new member

Hi guys, I have a bone stock manual 2005 XR6 Turbo Ute, done 97000ks. I'm occasionally getting a "misfire" of sorts when under load in 3rd or 4th gear. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, its at about ~4000rpm in 3rd or 4th gear only, happens whether I'm WOT or just cruising up the rpms, seems to be when it's at full boost. When it occurs, the rpms drop instantly back to about 2000-3000 and I have no input with the accelerator. If I try to accelerate it just stays at about 2000ish rpm and the engine sounds like its "out of sync" for lack of a better term. I either have to turn the car off and on again, or put it in neutral (still moving) blip the accelerator a couple times, put in back in a gear and the engine just "gets back in sync" and starts revving normally again. I've searched the forums and have tried a few suggestions. I've had my mechanic replace the intake manifold gasket, spark plugs and coils but it has made no difference. It's hard for a mechanic to diagnose because they test drive it and it's fine or they can't get it to do it so they can only suggest parts to change based off the problem I'm describing. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Cheers.

Hey fellas, Diff in my BF XR6 Ute had started doing some whine and I am planning on swapping it. Just need some advice. It has the 3:45 LSD with the one piece tailshaft. I purchased another complete diff *wheel to wheel* from the BF XR6 Turbo ute which is the 3:46 LSD and it had the 2 piece tailshaft. Now, the yoke is different obviously and caliper, rotor size etc. Will it fit if I just carry over the yoke from my diff onto the 3:46? Cheers

Hey I Brought A Futura With A XR6 Turbo Motor Converted Into It. Drives Fine But It When It Goes Into Boost It Feels Like It Starts Going Into Boost Then Stops And Shudders Like Traction Controls Is On Or Something And Don't Feel Like Boost Is Even On Any Ideas On What's Happening And There Are A Few Vacuum Lines I Don't Know Where They Go Will Add Pics

Hi everyone, I just brought my car to a local specialist for a steering and suspension check and I was advised that my front upper control arms bushes are broken ( yea I can slightly feel my steering is a bit soft). Now I’m thinking to get the Superpro upgrades kit online by myself but I’m not sure which ones I should get? The whole brand new Superpro upper control arm assembly kits ($395/pair) or just the Superpro bushes ($190/pair)? The local mechanic would charge me $350 for the labour if I bring my own brand new control arms. Otherwise it would be more than $900 if they supply me the parts (Superpro-Control Arm Lower Assembly Kit and Superpro Control Arm Upper Assembly Kit - Polyelast Bushes) + $550 labour. I prefer high quality products that can last very long. What do you guys think? Cheers.

Hi everyone, I’m Johnny. Just wonder where should I get my tuned FG XR6 Turbo ( ~ 300 rwkws) serviced? At a local Ford dealer or at a well-known tuning shop? I purchased the car a few months ago from a local private owner (its first owner) with 95000 kms on the odo. All modifications and tuning had been done by the previous owner when he first bought the car. He had it done at a wellknown independent local Ford tuning workshop and he kept servicing the car at this workshop every 5000 kms for more than 7 years. Ok now because I live a bit far away from that workshop, should I service my car at the local Ford dealer (very close to my house) or I have to bring the car back to where it was tuned? I dont mind about the cost of service. I like the way how the car is running right now, smooth, quiet and very fast and I want to keep it that way at all time. Any advice? Cheers.

Hi everyone sorry for my shocking spelling but am typing this off my phone. Hi everyone I have a 2003 Ford ba Futara wagon and I am in the process of turboing it anyways iv been seeing a lot of people slapping turbos on the na fords and thought to myself what a good idea. soniv done some research on the topic and watched countless amounts of videos on it and also hearing a lot of success story’s on all the forums, so I decided to give it ago as I have mechanical knowledge I decided to give it my best shot. I acquired all if not more than enough parts to get this working. so a week ago I started to dismantle the engine and I removed the whole n/a parts and have replaced everything with turbo running gear from a donor car I have then installed turbo, dump pipe, fuel pressure reg, drivers side loom steering Colum, radio and blue box cars main computer in engine bay and attached the 3rd plug for the turbo computer, 2 bar maf sensor and have kept the n/a engine loom but have hard wired and matched the colours for the 2 bar maf sensor. I am using the factory crossover and Bov I have all turbo intercooler piping installed and sensors. im using factory coils and plugs. key and remote have been matched to the car and locks and unlocks. anyways I have tried to start my ba and it goes to fire but then stalls, it fires once then nothing it won’t stay idleing I have tried to diagnose what the hell is wrong with it but no luck. everything seems to be right? Iv tried to run the na computer and no maf at all but still nothing? local mechanic said if I have all the computers keys and parts from same car there shouldn’t be an issue with it... sorry guys dragging on a in a bit but trying to explain in as much detail as possible when I go to start the car it fires up but dies. do I need to get a sct flash tool? or anybody have had this problem before?

Hey guys im new to the forum after some help.. I bought this 2005 Ba mk2 Turbo about a month ago off a dealer in sydney with no logbooks or proper info about the car (sigh) From a service sticker on the windscreen.. the mechanics location has led me to belive the previous owner may have lived in Wollongong.. The car has quite a bit of work done to it It had a CVPerformance sticker on the front of the engine (guessing it was tuned by them maybe) Just hoping somone will be able to recognise the car and help me get in touch with the previous owner to get a little more info on the car THANKYOU! -barry

Hey guys looking for what 4 speed toploaders will suit an xr6t, I have a 1986 xf falcon with a barra turbo swap im putting in it with 512hp at the rear TIA

I'm looking at getting a xr6 turbo, preferably 06 and upwards but still the ba/bf body, I want to get 500-550hp to the wheels but I dont know about a couple things and hope some of you know and can help me, 1. I've heard the bf 06 and onwards blocks are the typhoon blocks and are the stronger ones and are better to use? 2. Is the bf or fg engine better? Is the head different on the fg or what are the differences between the bf and fg block and head. 3. Can you put a t5 manual trans on a fg turbo engine? Then put that in the ba/bf body. 4. Any recommendations for the following parts? - forged pistons and rods to handle 800hp+ Valves and valve springs -what bottom end stuff like bearings ect would suit this kind of power? - could a fg head go onto the bf "typhoon block? Much appreciate any advice or comments that can answer these questions!!

Thought I'd put up a build thread so hopefully I stay on the right track, keep motivated and do some learning/helping. Car is an 03 BA XR6t 5 spd manual and leather interior Yes I know not the best platform to start with motor and gearbox wise, but bought cheap enough with the intention to at least change to 6 spd. Purchased about a month ago and already has the following mods: Plazmaman Stage 1 Intercooler Process West Crossover Pipe Kit Battery relocation to right hand side with copper-core welding cables used. Plazmaman Sheet metal airbox with 4” K&N filter VENOM twin 2.5" Exhaust VENOM 3.5" Cat Fabricated Tig welded oil catch can with K&N filter Turbo bored out with larger flapper valve Turbosmart wastegate actuator with 10psi spring In tune Motorsport turbo oil filter installed Walbro GSS342 255lph SN95 Mustang Quickshifter with adjustable stops, stainless lever and carbon knob Custom carbon gear lever surround 19” OX Racing OX111 wheels Lowered on King Springs and Munroe dampers Nolathane Polyurethane bush kit Including diff bushes DJR Bobtail spoiler HID headlights Projector headlamp conversion Also came with an SCT xcal 3 flash tuner Body is a bit untidy and needed bigger injectors and tune. Pics from when I got it Few things I already found I needed to fix. Had a few oil leaks. First one I found from the oil return into sump. One of the bolts that holds the flange on was stripped so I put a helicoil (thread insert) in. So I left the oil in until I finished drilling and tapping the hole out, used grease on drill and tap to prevent swarf going into sump, but dropped the oil and flushed afterwards just in case. Replaced sump plug with a new one from Repco, which happens to have a 15mm head on it. WTAF??? Who the feck does that. Damaged thread. Sorry don't have after shots. Noticed PS hose leaking too. So gave everything a good degrease Wanted to change the coolant reservoir/overflow and wanted to check what spring was in the wastegate actuator. Didn't look too hard to do, and after little reading on here and another forum saw some people having a hard time with it and taking turbos and manifolds off. Anyway pulled the coolant reservoir out, removed the dump pipe, cross over pipe, oil feed and coolant supply to turbo and hose to actuator. Check out my sweet light setup! Removed the bolts for the actuator bracket, bottom one is slow only using an open end spanner. Pushed actuator back so I could see the R clipholding the clevis onto the flapper valve arm. Got my seal pick in the end of clip and pulled it out. Yes it snapped. Then squeezed the actuator out of the bay, it's tight but got it. Found it had a 10psi spring, not a 12 like I originally thought. Reinstalling just same as above but in reverse. Make sure you push actuator back as far as you can, open wastegate, and put clevis back on arm. I just used a new E clip. This is where you can check the actuator rod preload. Push the bracket forward towards the turbo and that gap should be the preload of 2mm. Bigger gap in pic as I wasn't holding it up. Bottom bolt on bracket could be tricky. I just gripped the head with long nose pliers, got it sitting in the hole, then put pressure behind the head with the pliers and got it started with the open end spanner. All back together Had to replace the vent hose to catch can as it was so hard and brittle. Have a big roll of the blue air/chemical hose so just used that. Will change to black hose and the catch can at some point. Sorry for the story. Will be updating tomorrow, I mean today/tonight. Thanks for looking... if you got this far lol
