Standard Fg Xr6T Sucking Noise At Half Throttle!,?
PHANTMXR6 replied to Dubboxr6's topic in Fuel System & Induction Workshop
That's quite normal dnb. Just the turbo doing its job. -
This is the very reason I will always have a filter/screen fitted to my car. Engine failure, although usually not expected, can be costly and if the damage has caused issues with the turbo then that's just an additional cost you don't need.
-
Mine made up to 13psi stock. I reckon it had something to do with the overboost function. Still stock, but I've upgraded all the intercooler pipes and rubber joiners.
-
Granted, but engine orientation is done from facing the flywheel.
-
Yep. A bit of info on it over at AFF. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11328407

And just so you know, the injectors are on the left side of the engine. Ticking form the r/h side of the engine could possibly be an exhaust leak. How old is the car and how many kms?
-
No they are actually a bit larger. Closer to a 6" I would think. I cut the guts out of the factory speakers to fit my 5 1/4" Type R front and rear. I had to make a spacer ring to fit them though.
-
No. I fitted 5 1/4". The 6.5" will fit, but the mounting bracket needs a lot more work on it to make it fit.
-
Alpine Type R. So far so good. Some modifications to the original speaker brackets, but they are going strong.

Check with the company that does the oil sample to make sure they have a baseline profile of the oil you use on their system for comparison. If they don't, you will need to send a sample of new oil with your used oil so they can compare it.
-
If you're using a quality full synthetic oil and are doing only 15000kms or less in a year, then the 7500km oil change is just a waste of money. If you are doing more than 15000kms a year then change it at 15000kms.

Penrite SIN 80. No need for LSD additive either.
-
Most common is banging noise from the rear of the car on hard acceleration and deceleration.
-
I'd be asking why your car is only making 2700rpm using launch assist when it is supposed to be around 3500rpm. The only way to get rid of it is to manually bypass the switch on the clutch pedal, or have it tuned out.
-
It's on the TR6060 in the FG too. I'm not near my workshop manual to check, but I reckon it has something to do with drivetrain harmonic dampening.
-
85 micron will be fine. Just to give you an idea how small that is, 70 microns is the thickness of a human hair. Just under 80 microns is equivalent to 3 thousandths of an inch. Table salt is 100 microns. Visibility limit is 40 microns. Bit of useless trivia for the day.
-
Do you know what the factory screen micron rating is? If it's the same as the Earls product, there's be no issues using it.
-
Depends how far into the rev range it starts to taper off. It may be part of the tune. Constant pressure at constant revs is correct, but when you cahnge things like engine revs and turbo revs pressures will change.
-
Great write up mate. One thing you may want to edit though. The picture of the screwdriver and shifter. It says to use the screwdriver "For leavering off H4 globe from it's globe holder". I think it should say H7 globe.
-
How much oil was put into the box? If it was less than 5L try putting 5L in. That should quieten the noise down.
-
If you would like to use more revs have you tried to bypass the switch on the clutch pedal? Shouldn't be too hard.
-
What did you have to cut? Mine was a direct replacement.

Where Is The Clutch Slave Cylinder Located On Fg?
PHANTMXR6 replied to sam_rigger's topic in Driveline Workshop
The CSC hangs off the input shaft at the front of the gearbox between it and the pressure plate of the clutch. You can't get to it without removing the gearbox. Fifth picture down on Mal Wood Auto page is of a CSC. http://www.malwoodauto.com.au/clutches.htm -
I'm not. I fitted HID globes a long time ago and had to modify the Hella adaptors to make them fit. This meant destroying them so they can't be used again. If I want to go back to a halogen globe again I need to source another set of Hella adaptors. Tell you what. Go and take out one of your driving lights and you'll see what I mean. Then you'll understand, grasshopper.
