XF001

Success. Have got a bf turbo barra motor with all the bolt ons as well as all the bits like loom, ecu etr to make it run. Motor should be delivered to my place by the end of next week.
Now let the fun begin.

Been a while since I posted so I thought an update was in order. Had a guy who builds turbo motors come and have a look at the bitch and he was straight up with me about what was required.
He estimate of what it would cost to rebuild the motor, set up a decent engine management system and all the other crap necessary to make a reliable street car has forced me to look at other options.

My thoughts now are leaning towards a turbo barra transplant, most likely from an fg falcon.

Have started to do a few things on the old girl - finally. Rear brakes were locked on so removed the rear calipers ready for a refurbed set to go on so I can move the bitch around. Checked out the exhaust system while under there and looks like a new 3" system will be required as the existing one is full of holes.
This could take a while longer than I expected.

Not too sure about the bit about it having factory dry ice set up though Jack....

I don't believe half the rubbish I've been told about this car. It is satans bastard child and shall be treated as such when I get around to pulling it down.

Holy crap just looked through this thread and the chicks dad should never be allowed to work on a car ever again! Dash has more lights and switches than a nasa space mission! Good starting point for a project none the less. I'd start with wiring and dash. Rip everything out and start again. It'll be easier than sorting that abomination. Probably easier to go an aftermarket ecu to get it running right.

Unless you can ally tig weld, I'd just make it from Mild Steel 90 and 45 deg mandrel exhaust tube bends 2.5" would be fine. You can even Mig it and just paint it. Put some weld tacks on the end of each tube to stop the silicone joiners from popping off. I got mine from Western filters here in Sydney when I did my old car. I'm sure there's someone closer to you that sells them. Basically with pipe work you have a start point and finishing point. So you start by mounting your intercooler securely. You would put you silicone joiner on your turbo outlet and work your way to the intercooler, then from the intercooler to the throttle body. Just try to keep the bends as smooth and gradual as you can.Try to minimise the amount of joints as these are potential leaking points. Try to only use them where it is impossible use a whole section of tube,or where one section is fixed to the body and the other on the engine.

Picked up the intercooler yesterday.<br /><br /><br /><br />Any advice on where to get the piping from? After the motor is sorted, would it be easier to mock up the plumbing in pvc pipe before buying the pipework?<br /><br />Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk<br /><br />

It will do the job nicely

gees 255kw with no cooler and standard ecu
 
i want that tune in mine plz

As everyone has said, at least she had the decency to reply. Now it's just a matter of disregarding all that crap. Strip it out. Work ou what you can salvage and re-build with a firm plan.
 
Wagoon has offered his time and I'm happy to come and have a look as well. I'll be down in Brissy shortly to do the start up and tune on wagoon's roller cam donk and I am more than happy to lend a hand (no cost) if you need/ want it.

That's the right attitude and mind set to have. Expect the worst until proven otherwise.
 
As far as the 255rwkw I'm thinking the car would have needed to be just about running on meth not just a spray. The mix of meth to fuel would have had to be pretty high so as to keep the intake temps down at 14psi (or you could use the little magical black switch BHAHAHAHAHA) . When she said she ran out of fuel it was more likely ran out of meth which would have caused all sorts of problems literally.
 
Best thing to do is sit down and make a plan of what you want from the car so you know how far your going to go with it. This sort of project could get out of hand pretty damn quick as everything would be better if it was done again. But if you don't need it done again and it's ok to use then that will save time and money, no point in wasting cash just to redo something.
 
Once I get my car on the road I would be happy to lend a hand if you need/want it.
