that still happens.. my mate with a 700hp 80 series has chains the thing with that is it kinda brings the chassis with it lolQuote:

So will you be taking it to Summer Nats !!
All the modules and looms ready for a trip to Ford on Wednesday to get them programmed.
Once thats done I can start installing the looms and getting the HIM controling the heater/AC controls.
Changed the door locks to GU to match the ignition lock. Almost finished the intercooler plumbing.
Nice work. Cant wait to see the end result
Nor can I, wiring and modules still at Ford trying to match them. I had a bit of BF loom intermingled with the BA stuff that seems to be the cause of the problems.
A step closer, Ford have done the programming for me today so my suspicions were correct, the BF section is different. Pick up this afternoon and begin the loom installation. Managed to pick up two window motors on the weekend for the bargain price of $18 each but both LHS , so I might have to work on power windows as well if I can find one or hopefully two RHS to match..
Hijack, mate put BA XR6T in an XE, on the dyno today pulled 600hp, 380kw, ( I think that's what he said. The numbers are right might be other way round)
Second run snapped tail shaft 3grand damage. Ripped the undercarriage to pieces. Sorry.
Publicly speaking to a private audience.
You got the figures correct.
380 x 1.6 = 608.
A bit of a setback, the fresh motor is rebuilt and assembled but when I went to install it I found that I did not have clearance for the head temp sensor at the rear of the head.
This meant a rework of the engine mounts on the block to lower the motor a tad. That meant I no longer had enough clearance from the turbo to the steering coupler. So I have reverted to having the turbo manifold upside down and the turbo mounted backwards so the exhaust is pointing forward. I have removed the clutch servo to gain clearance. I think I have a better result flow wise than with the setup in the BA factory locations.
I have the Sub tank installed along with new fuel lines but I have some major work to do with the inter cooler plumbing once again. Long term it looks ideal for a WTA intercooler.
A step closer none the less.
Good luck
This has the potential to be a monster... You'll be upping the boost soon enough.. lol
BTW, were are the pics???

Here is a picture of the motor in and re-doing the plumbing, starting with the exhaust.
A picture of the motor with the LPG injector installed.
To answer Westy's question, this is the reason that the boost will be left stock.
The LPG kit maxes out at around 250KW.
Back from holidays and xmas commitments and first job is to tidy the shed so I can find all the tools oncce again. Over a month without any significant action has me even further behind my schedule.
I managed to pick up another winder motor for nix and the final one on Ebay to complete the electric window side of the conversion.
Also picked up a rear bar with lights in good condition to replace the old bar which was in bad condition and the non light version.
After beating out a small dent and repainting the ends it ready to go on.
Gooday, am trying to insert 09 FG donk into GQ 88 shorty. Have Dellow kit -- no comment here as I'm still trying to get issues resolved -- wrong flywheel - wrong clutch plate wrong wrong. I feel like I'm there R&D department!! I would like to have a yak to you about your conversion, however not sure if am allowed to put mobile number up.
looks great. The BA motor should haul that along nicely and SHOULD get some economy. You might be better off to get a flash tune to help with economy. They can set boost control that way with minor mods to equipment and then you can also have multiple maps. maybe a fun one when not towing. a torque one for towing and maybe a limited map for "others" lol.
Look forward to seeing the progress.

Thanks Mark -- got in touch still feeling my way around...Garry
A little further down the track this weekend with Premium sound ICC Facia intergrated into the GQ's dash, in primer ready to paint. Double DIN top ready for the touchscreen for the carputer grafted ontop.
Not reading the whole thread, does it bolt in or alot of modification?
I love the idea of this conversion.
Currently driving an XR6 turbo. The idea of that kind of torque and power in a GQ sounds like heaven! Definately gonna be keeping my eye on this thread!

Actually, what xr6 is the the engine out of? Ba? etc. You could hiflo the turbo and change the injectors and get more power out of it.
Sorry if it has been Asked but what ECU will you be running?
Standard XR6T manual ECUQuote:

Been a busy two weeks installing the wiring looms and connecting them up to the GQ lights ect...have most of the exterior and interior lights operational, central locking and power windows are done. ICC test fitted and working.
Main problem I have at the moment is mechanically connecting the BA heater actuators up to the patrols cables, the problem is that the climate control wont turn on so I can't get a feel for direction and travel the actuators are going to give. Not sure on the reason it won't turn on.
This is a really silly project - just how I like em :devilred:
Funny, that's the same opinion my wife has about it.
Plugged some reversing sensors into the rear body loom from an old BF rear bar I had and they work, need to find a way to mount them now.
I think I am on top of the climate control issue, I suspect because I have dual zone controls and I have asked Ford to program the HIM as single zone to match the heater box in the patrol the can bus commands must now be mismatched.
Mockup of the WTA intercooler and it looks like its a perfect fit.
Clutch master cylinder moved back onto the firewall gives plenty of clearance, just need some work on the heater pipes as they enter the firewall to give more clearance on the turbo inlet pipework.
Worked on the exhaust this weekend.
I am glad to get the section between the motor and the front drive shaft done. Its 3" to 2x 2.5" then ovaled to give enough clearance to the drive shaft and then back to 3" all the way to the rear bumper. This section is wrapped in thermal insulation as its very close to the sump.
The third picture shows the transfer case linkage, turns out its very close to the exhaust.
I removed the rubber boot as its probably only going to burn being within 10mm of the exhaust. I assume this boot does not do very much.
Got a bit done this week end, the highlight was the $20 carbon Fibre (Plastic) Ebay Pillar Pod which turned out OK after a bit of contouring to match the pillar. It just needs a coat of Siver Metalic to match the dash.
Keep up the good work
Attempted to start the motor on the weekend only to discover it won't start. No fuel was the diagnosis so I put 15 litres on top of the 20 that should have been in there. Still no go. Measured the voltage to the pump and found it was ok but a resistance check back into the pump showed an open circuit. Brand new pump assy and it looks faulty, ebay strikes again. Drained the tank and pulled the tank out only to find it is ok now. New pump ordered, this time a walbro job. A day and a half wasted on this, however a small leak in the tank can get some attention whilst its out.
On a brighter side, the dash is in for the final time. Testing of the auto headlights feature confirms it works. Had to remove a few of the large connectors that join segments of the body loom as they don't fit under kick panels and seats like they do in a falcon. Still need to rationalise the wiring around the drivers footwell and shorten looms. Bonnet clearance issues to the intercooler were discovered when it went on so the mounting bracket need some reworking to move it forward and down. Have good clearance now but required a new silicone bend with a sharper radius into the throttle body, that is ordered.
looking good cant wait to hear what its like on the rd might be a good upgrade for my gu as the old zd30 is getting close to poping ;)
What sort of intercooler are you going with? Top mount or front mount?
Water to air job on top of the motor, you can see a picture a few posts back, the cooler for that is in front of rad.Quote:
