Mine was significantly laggier on the dyno, but still ~350rpm laggier on the street in 4th. This makes a big difference to low down torque. Consider a billet wheel in the stock dimensions.

Do you think it will flow sufficent at high rpm to support low 400s still ih8 toads?

It should puff enough, if anything the stock plenum and your cooler maybe the limiting factor.

I can't see it having to much dramas considering its only gota huff another 14kw to get me where I wanna be... And with the help of water meth to help it out also I'm hoping it will do it with about 20 psi or so...

turbowelshy89 Member 147 Member For: 14y 10m 24d Posted 21/03/12 11:15 AM Author Share Posted 21/03/12 11:15 AM Ok so I have started putting the new short motor together, I give it a coat of paint just to clean it up and make it look like new considering when I opened the box there were holes in the box and surface rust over the block in random places (pics below)As its stated in many of the fg f6 to ba'bf builds I had to nothch the Drivers side engine mount. I just slide it up against the block and marked where I needed to cut and used a hacksaw and then smoothed it out with a die grinder. (ill post a pic up later of what it looks like cut out). I also found that the engine mount has packed it in and am replacing it too. I also had to modify the gurdle to allow the standard location of the oil dip stick. Ill post up a pic tomoro of how it looks now (forgot to take a previous one). I run out of upload width to add more photos, also I took my head to a local mob against my better judgement and the reckon that a few of teh exhasut valves were a little pitted and one of the cylinders would seal up or something so theyre gonna fly cut em for me. I figure theres no point in putting sumthing in that's gonna casue troubles down the road. On the only up side at the moment my atomic goodies are here and oil pump should turn up this tomoro and turbo core also. I went with a standard core with a billet wheel... Not sure it was the right move but we'll see how we go come tuning time... And my water meth kit and 2 coolers turned up aswell. My plan with the coolers is to scrap the standard p/s cooler that runs all the way across the front of the car, so I figure if I scrap that and go with an aftermarket one I can fit the p/s and im fitting a aftermarket cooler for the zf side by side. Ill post up more pics as I go for those that are interested.

turbowelshy89 Member 147 Member For: 14y 10m 24d Posted 03/06/12 09:58 AM Author Share Posted 03/06/12 09:58 AM Few more pics of the parts that went in and a little bit of the process.Pics of the p/s cooler and gear box coolers I fiitted.Pic of the long motor back together.Pic of the new turbo. oh yea I ended up going a .7 front cover and wet the p/w hot side kit aswell. Modifying the intake was a pain in the rs. I also got the big girl some new shoes to try and help get the power to the ground once its had its final tune.Yes you are reading right... 285s, federal 595s rsr's treadwear 140...lolWell after I think about 5 months but has felt like a life time but as of yesterday its finally running like a dream again. I cant say that I would ever want to go through this again.. So many head aches with just the little stuff. I reckon if I wreck this one (touch wood) it will be just trucked to somewhere to fix it. Im sure I have probably missed stuff but ill post as I rememeber. And ill post some pics and vids of the completed product.Oh and I also got the rocker cover painted up the same colour as the ute...Its a bit hard to see but ill get some more pics tomoro weather pending Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79275-welshys-ute-386-rwkw/page/2/#findComment-1248579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
