wake77 Member 4 Member For: 20y 7m 13d Posted 12/02/06 11:41 PM Posted 12/02/06 11:41 PM I have a xr6t and a mate of mine works at a ford dealership in town we tried something on the weekend we reflashed the computer with the software from a typhoon and it made a big difference the only thing is now the oil pressure light stay's on. I have searched the forums and have found posts that talk about the oil pressure light problem but no solutions, does anyone know how to resolve this is it because the typhoon has an oil pressure guage not just the light and the sensors are different or do they have 2 different sensors.thanks for any helpRoss 1

wake77 Member 4 Member For: 20y 7m 13d Posted 14/02/06 02:52 AM Author Posted 14/02/06 02:52 AM I've just checked out the part numbers for the sender and they are the same and also checked out the wiring wich is also the same and checked the fpv guages and they have a seperate wiring harness and don't interface with the pcm at all, which leaves me to beleive the only other thing that is different is the instrument cluster, obviously it is different as it has the 8000 rpm tacho to start with, so does anyone else know if this may be the reason

wake77 Member 4 Member For: 20y 7m 13d Posted 14/02/06 09:21 PM Author Posted 14/02/06 09:21 PM I'm not exactly sure what it does yet hopefully I'll get to log some data this weekend I'm guessing it ups the boost and maybe gives independent variable cam timing, but it gives the car alot more go.
Shockwave-T Member 96 Member For: 21y 2m 30d Location: Melbourne Posted 15/02/06 02:56 AM Posted 15/02/06 02:56 AM sounds interesting. have you had before and after dyno runs?
