Yep, I thought you would know that and about Bearing blue to check the tooth contact.
Rare pano you have there .
 
 

hi
i have a xy van that is a factory v8 Windsor it still has its factory fitted 2.92 25 spline 2 pin Borg-Warner 
i am contemplating do this conversion my self 
turn it to 28 spline axle with either new custom axles or use the 28 spline axles out of a xd 2.77 lsd 4 pin 351 diff i have/ no one wants these as you cant change the ratio and the lsd hemisphere is non useable in 2.92 and up ratios so I'm willing to rob some parts off of it.
things i need to check
1./ if there is enough spline on the factory 28 spline axels to cut them down to fit the earlier xy width.
2./ if the area between the housing end and the face of the axle is the same from a disk brake and drum brake axle
 
we have a lathe so shortening is easy and turning the bigger spigot on the later axle down to the earlier xy size is simple enough
 
questions:
 
things i need to find out before buying parts is do the latter BTR hemispheres from late model 90's cars  fit into the earlier xy housings ?????????????
 
i'll just get a 4 pin LSD 28 spline hemi and 3.08 gears from a vn commodore.
 
from my under standing the 2.77 axle is a M75 but nothing 2.92 and up M75/8 fits them or vice verser ....the 2.92 and above are either M75 or M78 (definitely M78 from xd onwards)2.92 and up  M75 & M78  parts are interchangeable 
i may need to machine down the 3.08 pinion to fit the falcon housing 
 

one thing has me worried is the xw/y diffs don't appear to have the crushable pinion spacer they have selective shims in the xy parts book to get the pre-load.
 they also shim between the pinion bearing and behind the pinion gear and the large bearing( two shims go on before the first big bearing is pressed onto the pinion gear)
 
so will the newer gears that work with the crushable sleeve  work in the old housings???????
 
i also have a xw 3.5 gear set i pulled years ago and that has no crushable spacer on it so that backs that up.
 
 
 
this diff has to look original to the car other wise id do it different 

Yesterday we went down to the dyno at Hallam Performance, and with a hand from Paul at CVE Performance we touched up the tunes and got some numbers from our two supercharged Falcons!

Check out this video of Simon's EB on the dyno. I won't mention the number here but we're pretty happy with the result from the old EB.




Cheers,

Guys,

I've created this thread to keep people up to date with T.I. Performance and our efforts to tune EA-AU Ford Falcon EEC-V and EEC-IVs using widely available software and cost effective hardware.  Our aim is to provide reliable, value for money performance tuning for EA, EB, ED, EF, EL and AU Ford Falcons, both I6 and V8.

For the latest info on the hardware and definitions, see http://www.tiperformance.com.au.  For software, im using TunerPro RT.



If you are not interested in DIY tuning your own car...

I can provide Pre-Programmed J3s, ready to plug into your ECU, which will 'convert' an Auto ECU into Manual, Standard into Tickford/XR6, etc. I also offer Custom Pre-Programmed Chips with tunes 'tweaked' for stock/mild/crazy cams giving much better idle quality, fuel economy, power & AFRs.  I can also disable both smartlock and smartshield for use in engine conversions etc.

If you have any questions about our gear, feel free to fire away!

Cheers,
Jason
 

lowering an XG Outback?... 😧
 
 
 
 

Why ,!!! 
 
and chopping ,!!  

It is all that comes out when the front wheels are up on ramps. The temp sender is on the front edge of the pan.
I also run two A/C fans and two engine fans , both with an override switches which I flick on if the auto is too warm.
Heat and dirty oil destroys autos I read somewhere .
 

I fitted an transmission oil temp gauge. Both to use the sender as a drain plug and monitor overheating . About 1.5L is drained each time I change the engine oil as well .

Door only half closes:
Operate the door latch mechanism while the door is open .
By using a screwdriver shaft  to close to latch.
There must be a return spring resisting any rotation of the latch.
Compare with a known working latch (on the other side ) for comparison .
A broken return spring causes door to only half close. It will need to be yanked from the half closed position to close completely .
XG has same latch as E-series. Only the central door lock solenoid connector rod hole is not used.
