    T5 and SOHC into XF

    I put a au engine in my xf earlier this year . I used rod shop engine mounts to suit a Barra conversion as there the same blocks nearly And a sway bar from tuff mounts to suit a Barra to clear the au sump . I used a stock v8 core radiator but spun it around 180 degrees and welded the fittings on the other side of the radiator I run straight lpg , and a dizzy out of a xe falcon .. I'm upgrading the ignition now but it works pretty well at 7psi Or would be good for carby/lpg n/a engine You will just need a xf t5 crossmember for t5 conversion and a manual pedal box Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  5. I'm going to have some spac rims turned into 15x8s and run 255/50/15 drag radials on my xf .. A lot of people suggest 4.5 inch back space for off the shelf rims I've always found they hang out a bit to far and rub a bit .. Just wonder what people thoughts are ? What offset would you run if you could run any ??? probably going to get a band sent over and measure it all up any way but thought ide see what you guys think also ...

    Perfect rim offset 15x8

    That's a fair tyre also .. I wonder if I got some made 4.75 inch back space just to be safe .. My cars pretty low .. and I don't want to shorten the diff if I'm having wheels made . I might get some bands abs see how they look .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Removal of lpg gear

    Keep the lpg and pull the petrol out [emoji6] My au gets about 600ks a tank on the hwy . Cost about $50 to fill the tank .. If you put some more timing in it and it will go well also . Only problem is in country towns it's hard to get lpg .. It's kinda a unfinished project , I just put the 225 there because it fits better .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Budget boost rebuild, pistons and rings

    Not really a tuner thing overly .. stock cam will be okay ... but maybe after you get it running / tuned then put the cam in and see how it affects the cars performance.. I just had a cam done for me , basically high end big boost custom grind is the only way Mid boost there is probably some cams that will work pretty well off the shelf , it's just all playing around .

    Budget boost rebuild, pistons and rings

    I have a mate who makes about 300kw in a daily xg .. using those rods . Much Cheeper than trying to fit arp to e series rods .. What's the specs of a dev5 ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Budget boost rebuild, pistons and rings

    If you have a el engine you should get some xflow rods and put some arp rod bolts in it .. People will say the newer ohc are stronger, but it's really not true .. I've always used acl pistons and stock cast rings .. Use a multilayer steel head gasket . And apart from that unless you plan on forge pistons and billet rods I wouldn't get to worry about any thing else . Maybe a different cam would help . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Give me a shopping list - XG turbo ute

    If your trying to sort turbos . May I suggest look for old bush bearing to4b or air research . I have seen hundreds on gumtree , rebuilt then never used as there not the "in" thing . It Will last you for years , will serve your purpose , and can be found for under $400 . A friends el has a home made collector manifold , xr6t injectors , cheep eBay fuel reg , walbro 225 , eBay t04z , nock off turbo smart wastegate . Manuel gear box , standard motor and a chipped standard computer . It ran 10psi , tune was horrid , all up had spent under $2000 and it ran and drove great until the old boost bug set in. I've found if you can do the fabrication you can build something fairly cheep that can be reliable . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel pumps for mild 4.0ltr

    I'm looking for ideas on fuel pumps for my xg , decided to ditch the LPG and go back to petrol , I'll have to re run the fuel lines as there rusted out and I need a new fuel pump . This motor was in a el with stock pump and adjustable fuel reg with magna injectors all maxed out and still running a little lean in higher rpm I'm after ideas about fuel system setup as I don't no much about that stuff , I've been told xr6 injectors and adjustable fuel reg and a 044 pump would be good . I've also been told that a 044 is to big . And as far as fuel lines I'm not really sure how big they should be made with a bigger pump . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel pumps for mild 4.0ltr

    I had a walbro in my xr6t. Being in tank that would be ideal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Has any one fitted a Manuel to a car still with a bench seat , I love having three seats I was thinking I may be able to get the seat notched like a hilux or something . <br /><br />I'm open to ideas if any ones done it before.

    Manuel and bench seat .

    Nice , that's what I had hoped i could do , I'll have to get a hump for the shifter I'll unpick one from a ea if I must. <br /><br />I had planned on making a custom shifted that just goes staight up , and not layed back , so might give me another half inch gap between the seat in second.<br />
