anybody still after striker plates? i`m about to recondition a batch.

Hello, im chasing a problem I’m having with my XG. the blower fan works on 1,2,3 and 4 speeds, but the fan actually slows down in 3 speed.. I have replaced the fan resistor with several others as well as measuring the resistance in all. All were the same. I have measured voltage and the fan plug and have voltage bar the plug in all 4 speeds. Scratching my head as to where to head next….

Problem found. replaced the fan speed switch and is now as good as the day it left the factory.

Is the XH fan motor the same? if so what I plan to do is plug the fan in and hold it, if it works on 3 I’ll then start to pull the dash out. though about the dirty switch scenario but I have good voltage on all speeds.

i do, but not yet.

I have already done the belt driven dizzy conversion. Came up a treat.

a 250 pre crossflow one will also fit

i`ve used Innovate wideband ever since i starting blowing wind through a carby years ago, shit was getting real expensive real fast when your trying to tune under boost constantly breaking pistons and head gaskets.

fuels that attract moisture. e10, e85, methanol

Gerg, with the ecu doing the switching I can configure it to either come on and off 100% or I can stage it like your talking. For example I can say bring in say 25% at 4psi, 50% at 5psi and 100% at 6psi. I can also set up the ecu with a switch to run dual maps. Switch in position 1 could be with e85 injection, switch position 2 can be the same tune but no e85 spray and less timing for when the tank might run dry. Potentially saving an engine. OR switch position 1 can be race map Switch position 2 can be everyday driving.. Possibilities are endless

Talking about injecting e85 in a post up further, I thought I would show you what I have been working on lately. It's a 10lt alloy fuel cell (a bit of overkill) an 044 pump, 1/4" hard plastic line to the front and a water/methanol jet tapped into the ls1 throttle body. I was going to use a Hobbs pressure switch to activate the pump, but my mate and I have worked out we can trigger the pump from the Delco ecu. It's a work in progress and not finished yet.

what model Nissan is it from?

ahh I see, even better.

I agree with PRO250. if your planning a blow thru turbo, replace the carby with a throttle body and plumb in 6 injectors. I battled and fought for years with blowing through carbies and could never achieve a happy medium with the tune. Making it worse being a manual too.

uses the same flexplate as mentioned above but you may need the metric bolts from EA onwards.

theres a few more pics of the Krogdahl heads and engine on the fb page. Fans of the Ford 6 cylinder crossflow & ohc engine

i have just messaged a Bob Krogdahl, hopefully hes the one.

watching with interest.

Thanks fellas. Remember you will only get as much out of it as you put into it. Feel free to upload pics and contribute as much as possible.

Afternoon all, i have created a page on Facebook for the Ford Crossflow. Join in and post up pics and discussions. I dont mind if you sell items on there. http://www.facebook....ssflowOhcEngine

are you setting the tension wrench to pounds per sq inch or Newton meters? are you reading the right scale?

not bad for an ole taxi motor hey

I have the skinny green 42lb injectors in my crossflow, I didn't have to file anything. fitted straight in.

cmon Mr Thorpe PM me too.

bump. check out some of the wildest crossflows ever seen
