utelife New Member 7 Member For: 7y 6m 22d Gender: Male Posted 29/09/16 04:04 AM Share Posted 29/09/16 04:04 AM Hey guys first time posting been researching into an XR6 turbo conversion for about 6 months or so and I've decided to go ahead with the project but have run into some issues/questions that need addressing before I mindlessly slap sh*t on an N/A motor expecting everything to be rainbows and roses. Currently I've bought - FG F6 intake manifold - Fuel rail - FPR - F6 Injectors - Throttle body - Map sensor - GT3576 - Intercooler and all piping including cross over and throttle body pipe I still need a fg exhaust manifold and dump pipe but is there anything else I need to get ? I'm quite certain I'm missing some parts that I've seemed to skip over. what I'd also like to know is there are some vacuum lines on the intake manifold I'm not sure about. I do know one of the hoses is connected to the brake booster but I don't know what the other 2 vacuum lines are for. One being next to the brake booster vacuum line and the other being on the opposite side of where the map sensor is. If anyone could at least help me with one of these questions that would be awesome. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG n/a motors have made 500wkw+ on E85 all day everyday with power skids galore. NAC in sydney have done several and I know one of the cars very well an was going strong until the oil pump failed. cant complain when it cost $400 from the wreckers Quote what I'd also like to know is there are some vacuum lines on the intake manifold I'm not sure about.

Would only go that way if you blew your motor and used it as a temp until a decent motor was built. Pretty sure the car Damo mentioned only lasted a few months with that motor and they only did it to prove a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBAF Bronze Donating Members 2,156 Member For: 7y 8m 5d Posted 29/09/16 04:56 AM Share Posted 29/09/16 04:56 AM 6 months of constant thrashing with a big single. Its not the be all and end all, but can be done. keep it sub 400kw and it will be fine. do the supporting mods, keep it of the limiter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like 200rwkw and driving to and from work would do me fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
