Has anyone posted or has pic's of the Turbo Terry intercooler setup ?

V8's will not be at F1 next year.

Kelly ??? What a disgrace for Motorsport. Send email to Expensive Daewoo Motorsport via pr@pempub.com.au I doubt the stewards will change anything. Iv'e been there.

Diff problem only when turning ? Try changing the oil. slippery may be grabbing.

Thanks for the feedback. Put the standard tune back and same problem. Booked in to Ford. They have now advised both front wheel sensors are faulty. No warranty. Hmmm!!!

Hi All, Had Edit done over 12 months ago and last week or two have a problem with the TC & ABS light coming on for no reason. If I reverse out of my driveway and select drive the lights come on or sometimes if I just start the car and move slightly it does it too. I did have issues with it turning off at full throttle but got around that by turning TC off when going hard. Any ideas would be appreciated. Maybe I should re-load the custom tune. Thanks in advance.

Mines been doing it since they replaced the diff. Have fitted new tyres and rims since & still there. Took it to Ford, said they would check balance on tail shaft, then rang & said it's not bad enough to worry about. Service tech was honest enough to suggest it might be worse if they stuffed around with it. We live to see another day.

Just some info on sensors. Bosch were the inventor of the oxygen sensor and according to them they have a service life of 50-100,00kms depending on the type. There is the "Thimble" type sensors which typically have 1 or 2 wires from them or the "Planar" type which has 4 wires. The "Planar" type are the ones used on the T's etc I believe. They reach operating temperature 2 times faster than the thimble type which reduces cold start emissions by up to 50%. Exposure to heat, carbon, soot, gases, antifreeze, thermal & physical shock etc cause the problems. I guess if we are punching more ponies out it may have an effect on reducing the life of them. All this info is straight from Bosch.

I had mine done at Intune last August and have had small issue with flutter which settled after regapping plugs. No other problems but I intend to have it done soon at another tuner. I have been happy with the tune. 250rwkw's

The Police car was attending an existing incident near Benalla (truck into culvert) and was hit up the clacker by a semi. I am involved to a point with both trucks. rather not disclose any more. Have a pic of the scene attached. The cop car had just been delivered.

Check out page 28 of the Warranty & Service guide. Ford offer 5 year warranty against rust perforation.

Hi All, Was at local Ford dealer yesterday and noted a new XR8 Boss 260 fitted with Typhoon 2nd CAI. Was a brand new vehicle. Wonder if they are fitting them to all the XR range now ?

Did mine with Zaino a couple of weeks back. Fantastic products. It is beer consuming oops time consuming but it's worth it.

No worries Zap. Nice to know whats doing. Just rang CAPA and they advised if I put the Ford program in (which I did) then no problems. Just put back the custom tune and go for it.

not brake shudder. Had the discs machined & updated pads fitted at 45k service last month at a different dealer. Only done 2k since and brakes are fine although the brake dust is worse.

Methink something funny going on. Spoke to dealer this morning about the 2 items. He "thinks one is for a squeaky seat or something" & not sure about the other. Said If I call back this arvo he'll find out. Called my tuner, he said not to worry about it. They get updates from Ford constantly & the dealers get paid for doing them.

Does the overboost update have any effect on edit ?

Hi All, Just picked the "T" up from local dealer after some warranty work and have just noted on the job docket, 2 recall campaigns listed as follows. PRGC264 & PROG309 "Carried out recall tested OK". Any ideas what these are. I was late picking the car up and did not get any details. Will call them tomorrow & post answers unless someone knows about them.

in sydney there are only 2 in my bool, mrt or intune, Pruice wise john is far cheaper and I am very happy with my results Well done Mattri. Had mine done at Intune also + fitted oil cooler. I have Typhoon CAI, K&N Filter and got 260.3 rwkw. Very happy. Almost got embarrased by a Nissan last week. Must have been the lack of traction in 2nd gear, but we recovered ok

AFR= Air Fuel Ratio. Be carefull you don't get hosed down. Plenty of experts on this forum.

48,000 on mine. Running 38-40 psi. Just about ready to replace. Rotated every 5,000k's. Don't give it heaps all the time either. 60% city driving.

Had mine done at Intune. Had to regap the plugs, otherwise I'm happy.

I'm going to slotted rotors etc but only after Ford have spent all their time and money fixing the oem's until warranty runs out. Been done twice now.

Yep, That and pulsing brake pedal.

I agree, Waste of money. Most timers are used on commercial vehicles (and ricers), diesel trucks etc which operate at maximun torque for long periods. They also use a bush in the housing rather than a roller bearing as in the XR turbo's. The main issue is to stabilise the temps before shutdown as the temp will still rise after from heat soak no matter what you do. Just as the others said, drive sedate for the last km or so and let it idle while you open the door for the boss.
