RAWDEAL

there is ZERO EFI gear on this car lol msd 6530 digital programable impco 425 standard dizzy that i had the rotor phased properly not sure where to start

its a 6 speed manual so 6th is 0.75 i think. unfortunaly dont have a tacho at the moment Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

At the moment its i think (not 100% sure) a .75 top gear ratio and 2.92 diff is whats in it , because i blew the last one up haha ive tried to drive it in 5th instead of 6th for 5-10 mins.. just makes more noise tbh

Its all factory stuff. new water pump new everything now. even the fans and radiator when im on the highway the revs are pretty low... below 2000, not to sure as i dont have a tacho lol so id say the revs would be higher on average when im around town the belt doesnt seem to be slipping Ive just gone from a normal flow to a high flow and the themostats were both tested to work. the high flow helped a bit its on lpg with an impco425 and an msd 6530. I have changed the gas carb and it diddnt help

took the car for a run. around town it sits on 82-86 on the highway it creeps up to 100 again???? also when idling it cools down? arghh Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I have not driven it ! lol I will be on saturday so ill update then!

i wouldnt use any stock valvetrain past 3500rpm lol

what other mods are needed for the 4.0? Would a serpentine setup work in a TD? with manual steering and no aircon.. or do you need the v belts? what intake manifold fits?

So today i fixed the bottom hose. it has a spring in it now. also i have tested the themostats 72c orignial one that was in it , is fine and opens at around 70 81c high flow i bought today, opens at 81 81 normal flow i bought a while ago, also opens at 81 im gonna install the high flow Tridon Themostat, and see how that goes.. i really cbfd taking the themostat housing off again so hopefully this works

they are just either off , or high. they are AU fans

fans are good spring will be done tomorrow the top and bottom hose are how but the radiator is also hot EDIT: i was also thinking if that doesnt work . to cut the center from the thermostat, and that will tell me if the fucker isnt opening properly

Yeah i changed the Tstat around. Still the same issue. I am going to put a spring thing in the bottom hose... and try that . otherwise i am not sure wtf is going on !

The only thing ive heard about Scat cranks , is that they are hard to balance . often take a decent amount of time to balance. Some of them need heavy metal welded into them. other than that , only positive reviews

it diddnt say anything on it ,,,, .BUT a quick google of 'which direction to face thermostat' gave me several youtubes of 302w thermostat installs i think i had it the wrong way the spring must face INTO the intake . ive fixed it with the old tstat. hopefully it fixes it. although i cant remember 100% what direction it was in before hand as i took the housing off and it fell lol

UPDATE got the thermostat out before i out the new one in.. what direction should the face? im pretty sure its spring side faces radiator of that makes sense? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

A friend of mine bought a ba xr6t ute.. Drove it 300ks and the engine threw a leg out of bed he wants to replace the turbo with something of a decent brand like a garrett Are the factory xr6t Ball bearing/ceramic or bush?? ** It does not have to be the exact same turbo as what they come out with from the factory, as he is getting it tuned straight away ** What are some other turbos that are a bit cheaper? He can only find quotes for 2800+ for a new turbo? ** He suggested a Recore. (as its not really damaged he is just paranoid haha) . But i am not sure if buying just a new core allows you to just slot it in and away she goes ? I could have sworn i used to have a bookmark of a place that sells very similar turbos for 1100$, but i cant find it

What temp should these engines run at? My ed has a set thermo switch in it (tridon one) and runs on the colder side of the guage.. and uses shitloads of fuel lol AFAIK everything else is all good. i havnt scanned it for codes though

yeah hes all over that lol. EARLS make a bolt in replacement. but you HAVE TO wash the filter every oil change. or it clogs and the turbo doesnt like that i think the earls is one size up line as well Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

ive never done it , if i buy a new core is it easy or i think its just slot it in and index it ?

do you know and good retailers ? might just be getting a new core from http://www.roseng.com.au/

I have bought this cam I am not sure if i should get the head ported or not , i want to get its full potential I have plans for it to go onto a Reco Xb xr6 head, and then into my Manual ed xr6, already has headers, exhaust, 3.45 gears

We have a Fordson tractor out here , one of the first diesel ones. Its hard to believe they made tractors to run off of just kero to get out of a fuel tax haha

Maybe a v6 because they have more cams ? hahaha n/a ecoboost engine

I am into contact with Kendall baker I will test the waters , i have a bad run with mechanics / anyone who touches my cars Im gonna try to get a dyno tune in ASAP. More on my Build thread. but basically Its going to be just an EL ecu and dyno tune, if all goes well ill send the head off somewhere

Do cortinas even count ? lol ;P
