Hi guy's, Final stage of manufacture is complete. The heat reducing ceramic coating has been applied and the Shaker fitted back on the car. I hope these pics are clearer. Tell me what you think good or bad. I'm putting the Shaker on a stock T and running it on a dyno tomorrow. It will be interesting to see the results. Should also have some more fuel consumption figures as well. macka

I'm out to looks like rain :o Trying my shaker on a stock T on a dyno instead. I should be interesting. macka

Geea, Did you just unplug the Xede and leave all the wire loom intact. In other words is PNP ready macka

What's the matter Aussieman, is that the best comeback you've got . "FORD got your to tongue"

Would that be with the championship around his shoulder I don't think so. He's like Steve Richards just keeps plodding around waiting for Ambrose and Skaife to stuff up. These are the only 2 drivers that have the machinery to consistantly win races. Ambrose is the man again this year. If he can keep out of Bowe's way. macka

HI Scotty, I'd like to know what your planning macka

Can't argue about he photograghy God666 your lucky I have'nt got my thumb over the lens. Thanks for the compliments about the engineering much appreciated. I promise to have better quality pics after the shaker is coated with heat resistant coating. By the time I've finished with the shaker you'll think the air is staight from the antartic macka

Nice car Geea, Here's what I would do if I was in your shoes. Especially with stronger rods Sell both the Xede and Unichip and put money towards buying a Motec can tune each cam individually, how many maps do you won't to make Buy Nizpro Plenum Wind the boost up and skip 11's go into 10's And just to finish it off Fit a Shaker Scoop macka

Hi ubyte, :lol: I don't see how the air be colder coming from underneath or through the front of the vehicle compared to the air flow over the bonnet. I think you will find that the way the cars are designed that there would be more air travelling over the bonnet of the car than could find it's way up though head light cavaties and past radiators intercoolers and air conditioner heat exchanges ect. I would think that the air velocity going over the bonnet would act as a coolant as well. The bonnet scoop would trap this colder air and force it directly to the turbo, which is what I was trying to achieve. The factory system relies on the turbo to suck the air from the front of the car through the air box & filter then over the hot engine via crossover then past the hotest part of the engine the exhaust side of the motor, too finally reach it's desination, the turbo. If you think this is more efficient than what I've done, maybe I've wasted my time and money. :lol: Be happy to be corrected if their are any engineers or physists out there macka

Xr6_ED, I bet your sorry but happy at the same time, Geea will look after it I'm sure. Hope your new ride gives you as much please as this one would have. macka

Thanks Geea, Hows Boof 2 coming along have you found your car yet macka

Thanks Brian, It should look impessive when it's done. I borrowed the camera off a friend. I think his name was Methusleum macka

Yeh sorry, I'm gonna invest in a better camera macka

Blown BA. Mine started at 260 brought it back to 256 macka

Yep, booked for 2 spa and all

Must have been taking them with the wrong camera setting. The last pic should be better macka

The intake pipe from turbo to shaker and the shaker air box under the rubber seal macka

Found a better one

Last one for now, I will post some pics of the finshed product macka

Hi Guy's, Just finished the first revision of the Shaker CAI. This is a sneak preview before it is jethot coated. If you hold your mouse cursur at the bottom right corner you can click on the toggle and it enlarges it a little bit more. Hope you Like the changes. macka

Nobody should expect FoMoCo to provide warranty cover if you choose to modify your car, and your modification can be proven to have caused the failure. The point is that some people here have standard cars and are still being give the bums rush and told there problems are with product specification. Maybe they need to improve their quality control and improve componet manufacturing closer to the blue print that the engineers developed and they would'nt have so many dissatisfied customers and product complaints. This is just an OP from one of those backyard project people who have improved the Ford product and getting 36 mpg What's FoMoCo doing to improve their product. Jack by the look of it. macka

I've been asking the same questions and no one seems to able to supply answers. As the car was only retuned 12 days ago and have asked the tuner this question regarding A/F ratios. He says they are fine but suggested to use some kind of A/F sniff whilst driving around. One can only assume that the engine is running much more efficiently because of the scoop and the colder air. Engine temp is also way colder than normal and thermostat is unable to bring engine up to standard operating temp. I would also like to know why my car is getting 36 mpg. My mods are consistant with others on this forum except for the Scoop and nobody else is getting this sort of economy. macka

I hope they've got plenty of room on the list, can't wait till I rock up for a sevice with the shaker hangin out of the bonnet. :lol: :lol: This is why I did'nt hesitate in modding my car. As far as I'm concered once they have your money you can kiss their macka

Hi paradise, I'm working on the best CAI at the moment it's a bonnet scoop. Which directs air directly to the turbo, Preliminary data suggests improved mileage I have it fitted on my car and I am getting 36 mpg out of a 256 rwkw xr6turbo. I will be having the intake dyno'd this weekend on a stock xr6turbo. You can check out my thread under macka's shaker scoop. Don't pay to much attention the the design in these pics as I have completely re-designed the air flow and it is much more efficient and responsive. It's in getting a ceramic heat coating at present and I will post some pics Thursday of the finished item. macka

I know that this thread is a bit of tongue and cheek :lol: and comparing apples to oranges. But I'll use part of their own article and quote. In my opinion the quote is more relative to the XR6turbo engine "With the performance potential of this engine, we're only beginning to scratch the surface." macka
