  1. What it says on the box. The stock EFI temp sensor on a crossy. 0.5ºC - 86650 Ω 19.0ºC - 26000 Ω 99.8ºC - 2130 Ω For use in aftermarket ECU if retaining the factory sensor. I'm doing a huckout and I Just found the bit of paper i wrote this on circa 2006. Also, stock injectors 0280150-726 # 86DA-AA 18.66lb/H (196cc/m) 14.0ohm Est max hp 39.

    Short Front Shocks?

    Give us a review after a few hundy KM!

    Cutting the water pump on 250 crossflow

    If you can fit an elec water pump in the lower rad hose area of the bay, then you could cut the whole front off the pump and cap it up.

    xf fuel tank into xc v8 ute

    install a float type sender?
  5. Dx3 is what most of us use in the astra pumps as this suits our power steering pump, and I've heard of no reported failures yet.

    Great info, thanks.

    XG FUEL Sender for sure.

    If you get a sender that has a range that is greater than the desired range for the instrument cluster, you can just adjust the length and position of the float arm to use the portion of the rheostat that matches the range required by the days. That is, design the float arm. So that it contacts the bottom of the fuel tank when the sender is at the "empty" resistance value and contacts the top of the fuel tank at the... You guessed it, "full" resistance. Older dash from x series like the digital dash won't work unless you use a box in-between to convert the resistance into volts.

    SPIGOT REMOVAL?

    LNice thread mine. These days I use a medium-small size slide hammer with a fitting, that slips in and hooks over the back of the bearing. Wouldn't re use the bearing though if pulled out in this way. And for aligning clutch I have the input drive of a t5 I pulled out of one I broke. I've not seen spigot bearings without sealed race, if it's a serviceable/exposed cage style bearing then yeah I can see where the troubles lie. Good idea jamming paper in against the bearing to seal it and get it to work though.
  9. WIL14010220 1 WIL14010220 KIT,FRONT,MUSTANG 70-73,BIG BRAKE,RADIAL WIL2209195 1 WIL2209195 FLEXLINE KIT,FRONT,MUSTANG,70-73 That is my part numbers. I measured a lot of points off some xf stub axels and it all matches the mustang stuff. The kit will offset wheel track +1mm so nothing to worry about. And it will fit my 17" rims, but NOT all 17" rims. Remember, I HAVE not fitted these yet. So I don't know if they even will fit and work. So no one rush out thinking you can bolt these on. Be assured when I fit them, if they work. I'll make a thread Application is for tarmac racing. (I'm not a pro racer or anything though so don't take any advice from me on that.)
  10. Geez, don't tell me this now, I got 3k worth of willwood front brake gear sitting in a box waiting for me to get home so I can install it. Though I did do a lot of research and talked with Willwood reps and could not fault them before the purchase. The fault lies with the "kits" available in australia. They are not the race spec components and are either for drag cars or for giving street cars some bling. Real race rotors need thermal mass, NO drilling, slots only. Curved vein ventilator, 2 piece and no dust boots on a stainless piston. Their race calipers, apparently, and made specially to maximise stiffness you can see flow and stress simulations on their website. The aussie kits do not use these components. The kit I have, I imported direct from Willwood to the specs I wanted, So I hope it's good, this is the second time in a week I've heard a rumour of Willwood been crappy... :S
  11. The only problem with paying more for a quality part, is that it can be difficult to know if your paying more for a quality part, or just paying more. Aka, you don't get what you pay for. Plenty of times I've spent more to get a good item and ended up with the same pos item that I could have imported from china.

    XH fuel tank in Xe

    Dean is right. Should be a simple thing to get the xh tank and gauge working in a different body.

    Brake Force Theory - INFO

    I should clarify. Line pressure is pressure in the brake system. Braking effort, is the work done. Or how effectively the car slows down. Braking force is the force exerted onto the brake pad.

    Brake Force Theory - INFO

    Good write up. Thanks for sharing. If I can offer a criticism, the formula, while correct, does not have a question. The answer is PSI, but what question is it answering? I think the question is: "how to find the force applied for a given braking effort." You could probably, clearly define the relationships here with some statements such as: 1. At a consistent line pressure, an increase in piston area will result in an increase in braking force. 2. An increase in piston area will require more pedal movement to maintain the same line pressure. 3. However as braking force is increased due to an increase in piston area, less line pressure is required to acheave the same braking effort. (Knowing this, you can see how rear and fwd braking biases is a consideration to ensure you don't unbalance the vehicle by increasing piston area on one end, vs the other. Coefficient of friction of the brake pad can be specified to correct for bias issues, as well as pressure bias adjustment in the rear braking circuit. ) A question I have here is, does that really equal that much more pedal movement? For the purpose of this we can assume the brake pad cannot be moved, it is already contacting the brake rotor and the materials of the pad and rotor are very Ridgid. So I'm interested to know how much an increase in piston area will atcually result in a requirement for more displaced fluid in the master/more pedal movement. I would expect in most cases you can increase piston size/count dramatically before there is a requirement for a change in master bore size or travel?
