Any more details on the rear mount setup?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am probably a month And a half or so from Mine being finished. Jump on YouTube man and check out some rear mount turbo cars there are awesome. I think there is a well known brown Torana that’s a street car with the rear mount set up, it’s bloody cool and it’s very quick from memory

Kit comes with manifolds, crossover goes back off C4 bell housing and turbo sits where our battery is in the X series.

Also comes with 3 inch exhaust down pipe which finishes down by the trans cross member.

This suits 64-68 mustang with SBF. Can’t see an issue fitting it in the XD apart from the steering box maybe???

Parts list:
Manifold kit
Turbo T4 (.96 ar hot side)
Holley Super Sniper
Electric fuel pump and return lines
1:1 rising rate FPR
Carb hat and cold side piping - intercooler (already have that)
Blow off valve
Exhaust mods
Upgrade alternator (still run 55 amp)
Oil feed and return for turbo - modify sump

All this is cheaper than the Torqstorm at $5900. 

What am I missing?

Yeah they aren’t cheap here at $5900 for the torqstorm setup, however it is bolt in.

A turbo setup wouldn’t be cheap for me as I can’t weld and there is no off the shelf (decent quality) turbo manifolds that will work for a Windsor in an XD, there is a stainless kit for a single turbo out of the US to suit a 67 Windsor mustang that could work.

Looked into the Holley Super Sniper 650, $2200 and it can control timing, so by the time you buy a boost referenced carb and MSD ignition box you aren’t too far from that.

What are you using for a fuel system?

I purchased mine from vpw for $2050. 
 

I am going a rear mount turbo less heat and mess in the engine bay, I can use the headers I already have and I don’t have to run a intercooler. 
 

i am running a single Holley fuel pump, 2 fuel filters and a regulator, the factory tank is removed I just need to buy a my fuel cell now.

What do you get in that kit mate? Can you run power steering? Write down a full parts list of every thing you need man I will scare you.
 

I’ll have to post some pictures soon lol I looked into the centrifugal supercharger side of things and f!$k me they are expensive to get set up and running. That why I went the turbo path, but each to their own.

Yeah they are bloody cheap for what they can do, I’m currently Converting my Clevo to efi with boost and I have gone this path.

Have you thought about a Holley super sniper efi system? They are around $2000 you can run a turbo or supercharger or nitrous, they self tune  they can control ignition timing and they have a shit load of other features. 

Yeah I’m going to do a bit more research I think. I’ll take the grub screw to a few places tonight Hopefully some one can match it.

  I do remember holding the old 3/8 npt fitting next to the grub screw and the thread looked exactly the same. 

I purchased a Aeroflow 3/8 npt to -4 fitting for a turbo oil feed line, I recently had to remove this fitting to upsize to a -6 oil supply fitting.

When I removed the Old fitting I noticed the thread on the fitting wasn’t in good shape. Instead of the thread Pitch going up to nice sharp points it looked blunt does that make sense?

so before I purchase the new fitting I just want to be certain that it is 3/8 npt.  The factory grub screw winds in and out fine so it not cross threaded.

I’m bringing a old thread to life here does any one know the thread where the oil line exits the block near the oil filter? Is it 3/8 npt? 
 

any help would be appreciated, thanks scott 

Hey mate, there was a xy that recently ran 10.7 at Calder park. The car runs a H pattern 4 speed toploader, I think Paul Rogers built the gearbox maybe give him a call.  Toploaders are not cheap to rebuild and generally the gearbox builders use second hand gears ect with new gaskets, syncros and bearings, close to $2800.

Yeah your right, I’ll probably regret it when I need it one day but it’s getting cut for now.

Both of you were correct it’s for the factory driving lights. I checked the factory spotlight wiring and their is a male round pin that goes to a green and white wire. It’s now time to cut the wire out of the car 

From memory I think your right.

Temp sender has a round plug And the wire is definitely not green and white. 

The choke is a single wire with a brown plastic plug that slots on to a male fitting. 

Yes it it looks like it was meant to be around the drivers side

Are you sure man?  I pulled all my factory fog light wiring out of the car in one piece and can not remember it going to that wire. But I was more than likely drunk.

I will check when I get home thanks for the reply I hope your right. It could be the trigger wire for the relay 

Hey fellas, I’m currently deleting wires out of the factory loom on my xd.

I have come across this green and white wire and I don’t know what it was for. I don’t recall ever using it, it goes from the engine bay through the fire wall to the red factory connector.

I also can’t find it in the Gregory’s manual, any help would be fantastic.

Cheers man, yes I did read that thread it’s a great write up.

I don’t think I would be comfortable doing the job myself. if it failed it’s on me, I don’t think I could handle if that caused me to crash my xd lol. 

I would love to see one of those 290mm brake boosters they would be freaking huge 

Wow well that’s good news, I have contacted multiple company’s and could not get a straight answer.

I have also parted out lots of xd and xe’s v8 and 6cyl and never noticed a size difference. 

Looks like I’ll have no problems getting mine reco’d then hopefully lol

Hey guys, just wondering if any one here has the knowledge how to tell the difference between xd xe v8 and 6cyl brake boosters. 

I have been told the v8 boosters are 290mm and the 6cyl ones are 220-230mm, I have never seen a 290mm booster before on a xd I might of maybe on a xf or xg.

$120 sounds pretty good to reseal it. The gearbox works fine just weeps oil when it's hot 

Hey man, thanks for the link I'll give them a buzz and see what they say or suggest. It also turns out I know someone who had a toploader reco'd by them $2800 and he is very happy.

Yeah not super keen on a t5. I have a voice in my head telling would it work out better for me to just sell the box and shifter to xy owner ect. 

Then maybe go tko 600. The other voice tells me just go a built auto. F#ck I hate this lol. 

It's weird, if you want a auto built there are a heap of names that come to mind plus it's good hp per dollar, but not the same with manuals. It's almost tempting to sell the manual conversion to a GT enthusiast and just go auto. But I'd really like this ute to stay manual
