Hi everyone, project is going well, getting close to firing it up. Just checking what I need to do to safeguard my gear pre tune? Like run the NA MAF, injectors and bypass the turbo?

All this is very new to me, I'm clueless when it comes to turbos.

My tuner is an hours drive away, and im hoping I can drive it there, but I'll trailer it if I have to.

there's no MAF, it's a T-MAP sensor; Temperature, Manifold Air Pressure. But you cannot run the "turbo" T-MAP at all with an N/A tune. The T-MAP sensors themselves are not interchangeable at all, physically, either, as they are different pin configurations.

 

You'll either have to run the stock injectors and T-MAP and not boost it while you drive there, or trailer it.

my only question is, why does it have a BA motor in there? somebody's a fair dinkum cheapskate to blow up a BF motor then replace it with a cheapy BA motor...

 

Hey  hey now, my cheapy BA is going to be sweet.

@k31th Should have the project ready to turn key by this weekend. I have hopefully one last question.

I have to incorporate boost control into my N/A loom. Would I be best to splice the boost control wiring from the BA XR6T into the BF N/A loom, pull the loom out and replace with BF XR6T loom or run an aftermarket Boost Control.

 

Thanks for all your help, it's very much appreciated.

Build update.

Car is running and driving.

All the gear from the Turbo has been installed save for the NA ZF 6Speed, PCM and engine loom.

Boost is controlled by a GFB GForce 3.

3.46 LSD at the back.

Tuning is just around the corner.

 

Pics to come.
