thankyou trying that now this xh thing is a bit new to me

i tried it its now past smartlock thing. but still not turning over. like the au barrell was acting.

Hey guys. I managed to lose the keys to my xh, Installed a au steering lock and barrel. Wouldn't turn over. Got auto elec out he said find original keys. Managed to get the old keys back and installed the old steering lock and barrel. Now getting smartlock nothing else. Where would i go from here?.

log manifold ring mixer and a + type system with a omvl r90e convertor. if its allready got that type system installed cant go wrong. id only work with dinosaur impco stuff and b2's on cars with that type of system all ready installed.
r90e is a nice convertor their nice and tunable. also have dual outlets if you want to run twin throttle body. one thing i kind of pondered. twin throttle body with 2 ring mixers. unless you can use gra throttle body with omvl.
seriously now one of my prefered and favored convertors.
went well off the line with ea cam.
put this other crow cam thats suitable for gas in. but sware ea cam gave it more initial oomph. but i never have had enough time or money to put it to the test.

Hey all. How gos it?
ok you guys wouldn't know it yet... but i bought a stock 5 spd 4.0l xh  ute. i wanted something a little bit different to the past 6 1/2 years of xf. its duel fuel. now ijm thinking of getting j3 chip installed. and i wil be installing a 6al2 soon. i was going to run my current cam which have been told is suitable for both fuels. to get the best i can out of both. now my question setting up to run e85 aswell. if i could i was thinking if i can could that be rab through existing fuel system and what would it need support it. down the track maybe install another tank for  the e85 and find a way to make a switch 

If you reckon its doable. and the pretty much stock eb 4.0l could only handle it for not to. long. i dont care to much.as long as i saw it work. and get a go out of all 3 experience it, sweet. i got restored 96da el-au hybrid motor waiting to be assembled i can make changes to. could be able to chase up some money to do a couple mods to beef it up in a way. wouldn't want to change it. to much just to keep it simple. like may be able to get some hypertech pstons  you know stay to the engines guidelines. that way im not forking out to get more custom made internals. to replace the ones i smashed while getting greedy. i might get inlwt  ports flow matched. might get a thin copper gasket for the next thing,

i may  go a turbo  down the track. was not chasing big boost, or dyno queen horsepower. i wont touch comp to much, to have bit of  n/a punch and to carry it over the line.

please laugh at my theory tell me to do more  research i will. ot got any suggestions suggest. i would only give the car a kick in the guts. about 30% of the time. if i know what i need and do the sum. see if i can get through it. or have to scrap the idea. im bit aware on turbos. not aware on cost  of running e85 properly. think cost efficiant. not chasing big power. you know maybe crack a lazy 13-14. down the quarter if possible. .just want daily i can have a bit of fun with need  when be wise and safe. and maybe test the potential of e85

Yes i know this is a bit of essay. and could have probably be summarized. id offer you a wild turkey if you where near by to relief the strain whilst reading such literature,

Please fill me in,.

Re read maybe i should give the turkeys to you guys... lol still stand by the idea would like to know.

i prefer steps like the 40-80-110nm thing. the whole 120 degree thing i feel makes it complicated. and did i exactly get that bolt to 120 degrees. or was it 115 as i try to swing the torque thing around 120 degrees and try to keep the wheel gauge thing in the same spot as you walk around the front of a falcon trying to swing your torque wrench in 1 go if you get what i mean. the hole step by step 40-80-110 stuff etc just seems easier and less harder to stuff up.
i reckon the dial degree thing is better for when the engines are out of the cars
so you can get direct sight over the top of the dial

though i like to make sure i measure it the way how they say in the instructions. that way if something stuffs up you know you done it to the right instructions. so there for you feel less shit if it gos wrong haha.
if the instructions say 40nm + 90 degrees then im doing that
if it gives me a choice of the step to step torque settings. and then the instructions for it then degrees
id probably chose the 40-80-110 thing

damn flipping it didn't work. hm
gos to show.. sometimes what feels like its helped. can actually be quite wrong.
good stuff clevo. i'll try removing the seal next time

$0 mod with autos toying with kickdown cable adjustment. can give you a bit of go. trick em to shift a bit how you want them to aswell;
little bit of timing doesn't go astray
yes i have flipped the aircleaner hat. for a bit more airflow in the past.
next thing i can suggest is t5 conversion. or why not go full hog buy a e series with a t5 and just swap the engine as well.
 

sweet. cheers mate

cool as. Fark wish i didn't put all that money into a head and stick it on my 3.9 now. might see if i can do a swap with someone.
aren't they a au style crank and rods.
would a coilpack work with msd? as i got 6al2 on the way
but yeh i stuck a dizzy in the block. its got the hole and cog all looks like it should work. just needed to make sure.

okay so it appears my new block is a hybrid motor.
so it looks like i can get away with a dizzy in the block.
i was wondering are these blocks non vct?
would it be more cost effective in the long run to use the au head? are the au heads actually any better?
mine appears to have a steel sump. so if im correct. i should still be able to stick it in a xf with no sump mods?
what are things i need to worry about with this motor? as i want to just do a straight swap.
run it all on xf wiring loom. like im doing with the current sohc. put the old manifold on the block and old exhaust system. and run my gas system. distributor. coil etc
so basicly everything i am using at the moment. to run my 3.9 in the xf. swapped over to run the hybrid motor
will it work?

would a xf est. or e series dizzy be better for msd?

i got a manifold from them and it was a aussiespeed one

For $20 less?

they sell aussiespeed gear.. so wouldn't be suprised if it is a aussiespeed manifold.

matter of fact if you zoom in far enough. is that a aussiespeed logo on that manifold. lol

Hey.
I was wondering on a ef. Can you just replace the rubbers on the balljoints. And is that doable without taking the balljoints out. Because i hear they need to be pressed in. But the actual balljoint its self seems good.
Thankyou.

might hold off a couple days and go the 6al2 then.
and thinking something needs to get turbo'd in the near future.

yeh thats what i was sort of thinking bigcav. its a bit of a cost. id like to save but. think 6al2 sounds like better option. still dont know if i want to boost it yet. or play with timing curves. since on straight lpg. i can see that coming in handy. if thats possible.

how good are msd streetfires?
vs
6al2's.
or even 6al's
should i fork out or settle for a streetfire.

Do keep us posted cos I think theres a few who would like to know the outcome.

 

P.S Did anyone else think this thread was going to be about fitting NOS to his engine

yes. lol

barra dude^ i never seen it done before. sure some speedway boys are plotting how right atm but.

1 day job if you know the dude at the machine shop. thats even if you bother machining it. ive gotten away without machining a couple times and no issues.

not like its a steel gasket. unless head is warped to the shithouse.
just tighten the bolts down in the right order. you will be right.

if its stock crossy its easy as.  i can do em blindfolded. well probably not but i feel like i could. after doing them so many times. lol
allmost as easy as. sticking one of those bottles in the radiator. just a little bit more time involved.

some cams the rocker gear may need a shim. or different springs. so research the cam before you install.

These must be an option? Mine has these, the spare as well. I've seen another s-pac with them also.

these are ROH roulette mags.

if your that against the egr. why dont you just weld the holes up on it. and having it sitting there as a dummy. so it doesn't look ilegal.

ah k thanks for that gaz. i thought there was going to be a difference
