map sensor would show in the data
-
I'm thinking it could be over $4k but have not had to get one replaced. We get the cats made up for us using a 5" outlaw cat, being a bolt in, you get to keep your original if you ever need to get it rwc, would need to order one but we normally have them the next day
-
no worries but I also have a group buy for the PWR heat exchanger which is about to close
-
I'll take no offence to that
-
could be an fuel system issue or tuning issue, correct diagnosis needs to be carried out
-
how long have you had the car for? It should not have passed a rwc with the bar cut out, this would be an expensive fix as it would be a big job for a panel shop to replace the radiator support panel. We have bolt in 5" cats to suit FG, they sell for $500 and we have used the same cat on a BF making 428 rwkw and as mentioned we have a group buy for the stage 1 cooler, we also have a group buy (about to close) for the PWR heat exchanger for the ZF if yours is an auto
-
all the guides that we have seen break, the entire guide does not break, the top part of the plastic slider on the guide that the tensioner pushes on breaks off, approx. 15-20 mm of plastic, the guide is still intact and keeping tension on the chain, we have always used genuine guides to replace them as that was the only choice we had
-
I want to make it clear that I wish you good luck with getting it repaired, but my opinion which could be wrong, is I don't think that scenario is really a possibility
-
somebody with hp tuners could read the tune and let you know, but there are ways your dyno operator could tell
-
don't get me wrong about doubting they may have hit in the past, but there is no way they can be bent and give you no indication of poor running as they could not seal even if very slightly bent, even if there was 1 slightly bent valve the car would feel like it is running on 5 cylinders and the valve would be burnt if continued to run it for any period of time, you need even compression for the engine to run smooth
-
the new valve could have been bent from broken engine pieces after the fact, any bent valve would not have sealed properly from the time of being bent and you would have had running issues
-
what injectors?
-
your welcome, happy to help, just hope we get enough to go ahead with it
-
you may already have one under way but we have a group buy happening at the moment for the Stage 1 Process West intercooler, details in our section
-
I have not pushed one very hard at this stage, Kev has run over 400 rwkw through one though
-
I have started a group buy for this cooler details can be found here http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85799-process-west-fg-stage-1-kit-group-buy/
-
I have never seen a valve break on one of these motors and would assume if it hit the piston it would be bent enough not to seal and have issues from the time it hit. My opinion of what causes the chain to jump is people giving it a bit and then backing off quickly, I have no proof of this just my opinion as I have seen them jump without the guide being broken
-
checking it before using it and bracing it if required, it's probably not critical in 99.5% of cases, but depending on what other mods are on the car may lead to whether the wastegate works well enough to control the boost correctly
-
seen Garret brackets flex with 12 (11.8 ) psi actuators on them
-
we recently had a FG that had jumped 2 or 3 teeth (can't remember off the top of my head) and was very noisy and was 100% ok after rectifying it, none of the others have been noisy though. good luck with ford though
-
we have seen many chain guide issues that have caused the cams to jump up to 3 teeth and not have any valve issues, saw 1 BA that had jumped maybe 15 teeth and bent all the exhaust valves
-
yes it would if it increases air flow but some would depend on whether it's tuned in open or closed loop boost control
-
Process West stepped cooler, no cutting involved in fitment so will require majors mods to return to roadworthy if ever required
-
no worries, that answers that
-
some cars will overboost and go into limp mode, even if it didn't, the boost error in the ecu would be quite high
