    4RCFED XF Ghia

    Thanks for the good info, I'm really aiming for a mild range motor very similar to Xelisty's, his is cranking 300rwhp just under 4000rpm, not sure of the boost level though. I'm thinking of starting at about 8 psi and going from there, it should double it's factory power on that boost level. I'm after a car that is fun to drive, can give you a bit of a fright and take to the track for some fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4RCFED XF Ghia

    Microtech still do a fuel only ecu, it's listed at about $895, I thought it would be easier to just get the fuel and ignition system to control the lot. Also need to start planning an engine rebuild as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4RCFED XF Ghia

    The dump pipe came out of an XE that was running this manifold and had a modded XR6 turbo with the five bolt flange, so I will just source the similar set up to keep it simple. Thanks for the link to Proboost. Yes I will be retaining the TFI dizzy and will look into a CDI unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4RCFED XF Ghia

    The manifold has a T4 flange with a T3 adapter on it, and the dump pipe is 3 inch. With the Microtech I can retain the dizzy and it will control it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    XE EFI Upgrade

    If I was ever to modify the XF Ghia, I think I'd use a 4 barrel manifold and the Holley, keep it simple. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    XE EFI Upgrade

    Is that the Holley Sniper EFI? I've been reading up on it and it has really good reviews. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    XF Fan and pulley

    I just put a thermo switch in the XD before it was shipped, that was a tridon brand and was 3/8 NPT GAS, so fitted in the eldebrock manifold. I'll have a look around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    XF Fan and pulley

    I'll have a look around the engine for a spot to put a thermo switch to activate the fan. A 16 inch in the centre of the shroud should work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    XF Fan and pulley

    I would agree, with the Ghia all I can hear is the dam fan, I was thinking about going electric. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I believe it's a XC box from what I was told, I'll check the numbers once it gets here. I'll go a top loader next, if this ever gives trouble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I have a single rail, not sure if it's a 6cyl or 8cyl one??? Had it rebuilt, seems to work as it should, we will see how it goes in the future I suppose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Radiator for a 302 Windsor in Xe?

    I have a 302w in my XD, I have a standard 6 cyl radiator out of a XF Ghia, which was 100mm wider than my XD original. For the time I have had it running there was no issue. I have a standard rotation water pump with the bottom outlet on the passenger side, for this I used a standard Cleveland bottom radiator hose from super cheap. For the top hose, I also used a standard top Cleveland hose as I was using an angled thermostat housing and the hose just sort of bends a tad, but no issues. Sorry for the crap photo.

    Removing EFI XE 250

    Just a quick question, does the factory XE ECU control the fuel pump, temp and oil pressure gauges or are they stand alone like a carb model? Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Removing EFI XE 250

    I should change the title to 1983 XE 250 EFI. I have been reading a few older bits n pieces from the net about replacing the BW auto for a C4, and as a result a few further questions have popped up. With a C4 what flexplate is required? Will the standard shifter linkages from the BW auto work with the C4? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
