VCT is a wonderful thing when it works. This is simply just a test guys

aY?

cheers for the info guys, been dealing with this for a little while now

I checked a mates BF Mk2 xr6t and his was 190closed and 205open. I just wanted to get an idea of what the VCT control does open and closed throttle. So we can see there is a difference there of 15psi maybe due to the fact that having it closed also causes a vacuum. But I am getting over 45psi difference in mine, a set of locked gears are on the way and the VCT will be goneskies as of the weekend if I get the parts before Friday. Possibly why the BF model falcons don't run much timing at the top end either

sweet!

Don't know if this is a silly question but does the sump have to be removed do get the timing case off?

Which actuator are we talking about here? I popped the valve cover about a month ago and checked the timing gear, lined it all up with the chain took about 30 odd revolutions of the engine but I got it in the end...and it all checks out I have done alot of tests and this is what I have found. With the throttle body closed (idle position) its going to 165psi, this is what I thought the engine to be, although when I have my foot flat on the floor and do the same compression test it goes up to 220psi. Quite a jump I thought Any ideas? Cheers,

LOL, I have removed the intake and done that test as I was told by someone else to do that, same numbers... Cheers mate

Must add this is a turboed engine also. I have changed the VCT sprockets and the solenoids and this did not alter the compression, the gauge has been tested, and the static timing has been checked. Quite high I think for a turbo motor, but just wanting to know if anyone else has had theirs looked at Cheers,

Hey guys, I own a 2007 model BF Mk2, my engine compression is 220psi across the block. I would like to know if there is anyone else out there that has had any issues with high compression and what they have done to fix it. if you have a BF model and have done a compression test, what was it I would like to know? Cheers from Campbell

Hey all... progress of the new 4" race box, Garrett GT3582R turbo install.....Don't ever want to do this install again! Was very annoying, but all good now *cross fingers* Big thanks to PJ and Alex at Plazmaman for the great gear! Can't wait to finish this all off and gets a tune!

Bloody was, had to remove the front bar for the tow truck, then waited at the pub for him. Anyway should have this diff in a week or so, pre sure I'm using the same number of splines 28 I think

I have removed the old diff, also the leaf springs. Replacing all bushes under there to nolathane. A converted 9" complete axle to axle cost me $3360

This ute has had a worked 12 months, doing alot of burnouts for weddings and also for fun come on we love our skids! At the time of bang I had 305 tyres on the back, I hooked in from 1st to 2nd, got locked up with axle tramp and thought I could power through it, the tyres were nice a sticky being a Nitto Invo and they were not going to loose traction. On about the 3rd jump it exploded, I rolled about 115meters then pulled over somewere safe (just outside a pub - can't think of a safer place)

410kw at the wheels

Hey everyone been a while since I have been on here. Thought I'd share what happened to the diff in the ute on last Wednesday Now a 9" diff has been purchased with a full spool should be here in a couple weeks as it has to be built. Went with a 3.7 gear ratio also

That battery is a Amaron brand, it is quite big I had to remove the battery shield to make it fit! But its lasted over 2 years now so I am happy with it Also had my engine mounts fail on me this week, only found out on here that using genuine engine mounts is the only way to go, ye ole repco sold me these ones and they are broken already, going to see if I can get cash back or atleast a store credit. Apart from the mounts the ute is still going srtong!

Yesterday was an awesome day, can not get over how long we were on the dyno for, my past exp with dyno tuning the guy is there for freakin ages! Dave knows what he is doing, was amazing being able to hear pinging aswell - I know this is very bad but just being able to hear it was good, but ofcourse it left the dyno with none! final result was just over 400atw. Will scan in and post up dyno sheet this arvo The ute is so tail happy now! Very impressed, just have to keep it in one piece now ....

Hey all ....................................................... .................................................... ............................................... ......................................... ..................................... ............................... ........................... ....................... .................. ............ ...... .... ... . ............................... 400.9kw !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome moe! Hope the brings you many happy days!

Nah mate saving my penny's for Bathurst this year Will do, might look into the battery relocation kit sometime along with the bigger cooler upgrade, but yes it does look really wicked in that photo! Also thanks to everyone with the awesome responses cheers guys! stay tuned for the dyno results!

I am going to see how hard we can make it go with this cooler, a plazmaman one is defiantly on the cards though

Hey all! GOod to be back here, and on awesome Aussie servers too! Ok so its all finished !!!!!! New 698-gt engine rocked in on wednesday arvo, and on saturday around 2pm I hit the key. Started first time! I am off to Mackay for a dyno tune on Thursday hope to hit the 400 mark But I am finally sitting here enjoying a beer, doing an engine swap is not a everyday job I want to do. Well we all like pictures! What a freaking experience
