Bf Mkii 6 Speed Manual Typhoon - What To Do?
WiLL86 replied to YLD-11Z's topic in FPV PERFORMANCE INC.
Its my impression that the factory dump is good for over 300rwkw and its the cats that are the restrictive part, then the exhaust, then the dump last when you start really buyin power! I wouldnt waste your money on the dump mate, but definately get the injectors, gapped plugs (to handle more boost), and retune. This will see you at the limit of your factory intercooler anyway with these mods, maybe spend the dump money on a new cooler that's what id be doing WiLL -
Hey Tom, The Ford BT kit is great, simple to connect and use. My only gripe is that it should display on the screen whos calling you, or the number that's calling you if the contact isnt in your phone. But in saying that I dont have the TFT screen as I didnt option Dual Zone Climate Control, so maybe it might work with that? Other than that and using the Blue Power plug, its great!! The central locking is great :) WiLL

Ok for those who are interested I spoke to Tom and finally got my central locking in and all sorted!! The solenoid block that lidlok supply was placed on the backside of the fuse panel using a few pieces of double sided tape...(theres a nice clear little spot where they fit perfectly) The canon plug with the red/black wires running into the relay pack connects with the blue power connecter behind that same fuse/relay panel in the drivers footwell. There is only one and I already have the Ford Mobile Phone Bluetooth kit installed which also uses this plug, so I had to pull out the red and black wire spade lugs from the connecter on the BT kit/open them up, solder the wires together and crimp the lugs again and place them back into the connecter. And finally the black cable that is to connect into the C396 connecter, connects to the Yellow wire with a black stripe down it....this along with the violet are a heavy gauge of wire (looks to be about 2.5mm2 or the same size you use for powerpoints in your home etc) Id like to thank Tom for all your help mate, especially for taking my late night panic calls trying to figure out a few niggling installation issues I had...Thank You!!!

Ok im just having a crack at installing the kit now and I have a few questions. 1. The Relay block that is provided with the Lidlok kit, where abouts do you recommend mounting that? In under the steering column somewhere? 2. The canon plug that is wired into the relay pack, I think its referred to as the 'Decklid Switch", where abouts does that hook into? The instructions make it seem as if it connects into the boot release switch, but those as the canon plugs that are apart of the existing loom arnt they? NOTE: I didnt have to remove the speedo etc to get to this plug, you have to stick your head into the footwell and look up 3. When connecting the 2 core wire to the C396 connecter, where abouts to I hook the black cable upto? I understand that the red wire has to be connected to the Vilot 84 wire which I have to disconnect from the C396 connecter, but the black wire has me stumped? Sorry to hassle everyone about this, any help would be very much appreciated WiLL86

Hi Tom, Could you please give abit more information about the plug that I need to get for this conversion?? I Tryed ringing a few wreakers and all I got was "we dont cut the looms, go away"...and the ford dealership need a part number, they apparently cant look up C396. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I now have my kit and am ready to go :) WiLL86

I definately need one of these!!! Im going to get one soon this is for sure....I would definately like get some more information on the point that Roger raised...and that is, can you get a sedan keypad, and program the 'Boot' key to operate the hardlid, and keep the doors on their own seperate button??? I might have to make some calls and some enquires to the electrical dept at Ford through my brother
