XR6T into GQ conversion

[Ben-e-boy]

lol what ever happened to welding a couple of chain links on them.
It worked for the demo derby specials in the 70's

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

Patrol GU ignition Barrel with the BA falcon TILA module grafted onto the GU Pickup coil.

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.
