Fred loco New Member 3 Member For: 5y 5m 20d Posted 08/06/23 07:16 PM Share Posted 08/06/23 07:16 PM Turbo barra into BA SR Falcon I am putting a turbo motor in my BA SR n/a Falcon Unlike the XR6 n/a Falcon it does not have the plugs in the loom for the boost control solenoid and the map sensor that's near the drivers headlight. Should I change the complete engine bay loom or should I just run the boost control to the 3rd PCM plug and is the map sensor in the intercooler piping actually used when switching to aftermarket piping, if not I wont run it to the PCM. Thanks in advance for any help Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96996-turbo-barra-into-ba-sr-falcon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell up and buy an XR6T. 2. Swap the entire engine/loom/driveline/body-electrics from an XR6T into your N/A falcon. Swapping a few bits and pieces around to try and make your N/A falcon work with some turbo bits and pieces like looms and sensors is a fools errand. I know, I've been there Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96996-turbo-barra-into-ba-sr-falcon/#findComment-1719051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The na pcm can't control boost, even if there is a plug there. The info is widely available on various fb groups so your answers will be better off asked there. The PCMTec forum has a bunch of guys into swaps as well that are happy to help whenever they log in.

I dunno if you have to have the boost pressure sensor in there, there are provisions in the tune to switch it on or off though. It is shown to be on, in the picture below. I haven't done any swaps so can't tell you off the top of my head what else will need to be done.
