XR6T into GQ conversion

doing a great job mate! will love to see plenty of videos when she's going.

Looks like I had either an issue in the BA fuel pump assy or a faulty unit, the plastic surge bowl is split down the side.

Are you sure that Ford set the keys and PATS up properly, as from memory PATS disables the fuel pump as well as injectors and ignition.?

Yes I have had it running before, the security light goes out so its a happy vegemite. New pump is almost installed.

Looking great Twase
Im in the process of doing a similar conversion in my gq but less involved im putting a 2012 FG turbo 6 in my gq, ive got the engine, conversion kit, ecu has been reflashed, security removed,software changed from auto to manual , looms been modified to a standalone engine loom with the accelerator wiring included, i got the gearbox back in just last week as i completly removed it and fitted the bellhousing and done the input shaft and output shaft seals, cut the old engine mounts off, the mounts i got in my conversion kit look different to yours and i plan on keeping the factory turbo mounts and fabricating the steel mount to suit that i weld to the rail, i have brand new fg radiator, twin thermos and a/c condensor, ive got the fuel pump just need to make a tank, i still need to do all the fuel lines boost piping, cooler, and the gauge side of things to make it work with the factory cluster. im still along way off but slowly getting there. Im not going all out like you with the internal electrics which i think is unreal and the way youve gone about it is great. Keep up the work and ill be checking in to see how the progress is going. Great work Justin

Sounds like this conversion is getting popular, quite a few now that I know of.

Started mine up today, a few leaks but quickly sorted. Alternator was stuffed but I had another which was the original one which I had misplaced, it was found and installed. The fuel pump now has a Walbro installed rather than the EBAY special and all works great, fixed the tank leak while it was out as well. Picked up the missing inertia switch while down melbourne for the GP, it had been bypassed up until now, quite a good safety item. Bit loud in the shed with just the 3" muffler but sounds mean at idle. Putting in the BA leather front seats today just need some feedback from the engineer.

After 6 full on days I have it on the road, just a few things to finish of before I get the mod plate.
Even though I am running it in I can feel it has more go than I expected, however it's easily stalled because I am still getting used to the clutch and the fear of loosing some rubber of the back wheels.
Next task is to change my signature....maybe after the novelty wears off.

How did you go with the plumbing air con power steer etc you should run it in HARD check out mototuneusa.com break in secrets it's for 4cyl bikes but relates to any piston engine

Bit late now already done more than 20 miles, however thanks to a rather pushy and now very embarrassed crumydore driver it might not have been too late after all.

Checking of the list of things that the engineer want fixed before the road test and the mod plate is issued.
Loud exhaust, mudflaps, wiring not finished.........
