Hey So I have a 03 BA XR6 Turbo and it seems to be having an issue that the mechanics can't seem to find so im coming here in hopes for answeres! After driving my car for about an hour or 2 it will go into I guess limp mode where I can rev it but it won't physically go anywhere you have to tap the accelerator to go maybe 5km if your lucky! I changed spark plus coils and it still happened I thought I had fixed it because I managed to drive it for 5 hours but the heater was going and the car wasn't getting to half way then I turned the heater off and about 30 minutes later it did it again so now im thinking a heating problem.. by the time the mechanics get there with a scan tool the car has cooled down and is fine again... its rather annoying because I love my car and have put a fair amount of money and time into it. Help please?

I have a BF XR6 and the motor is in very bad shape. I have a greenhead gas Barra that I pulled out of a BF, if I ran that on petrol, would it be slower?? Or faster??? I know the gas Barra has higher compression but with the more heavy duty rods will my power output be less? And no I can’t turbo it because I’m on my Ps lol.

Hey all, long time reader first time poster. My 2011 mk1 fg xr6t has been modified and tuned. A week after the tune it started running sh*t and threw code P1358. We checked the coils, swapped them around etc and each coil works fine. The pcm stopped sending signal to the coil for cylinder 5 though. Got a new computer and car is at ford now for keys to be married to new ecu and them tune to be uploaded into new ecu. Does anyone know why the pcm can sh*t itself like that and what can be done to prevent it from happening again? Nobody can give me answers, seen it happen to another xr6t at the same time from another tuner. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone sorry for my shocking spelling but am typing this off my phone. Hi everyone I have a 2003 Ford ba Futara wagon and I am in the process of turboing it anyways iv been seeing a lot of people slapping turbos on the na fords and thought to myself what a good idea. soniv done some research on the topic and watched countless amounts of videos on it and also hearing a lot of success story’s on all the forums, so I decided to give it ago as I have mechanical knowledge I decided to give it my best shot. I acquired all if not more than enough parts to get this working. so a week ago I started to dismantle the engine and I removed the whole n/a parts and have replaced everything with turbo running gear from a donor car I have then installed turbo, dump pipe, fuel pressure reg, drivers side loom steering Colum, radio and blue box cars main computer in engine bay and attached the 3rd plug for the turbo computer, 2 bar maf sensor and have kept the n/a engine loom but have hard wired and matched the colours for the 2 bar maf sensor. I am using the factory crossover and Bov I have all turbo intercooler piping installed and sensors. im using factory coils and plugs. key and remote have been matched to the car and locks and unlocks. anyways I have tried to start my ba and it goes to fire but then stalls, it fires once then nothing it won’t stay idleing I have tried to diagnose what the hell is wrong with it but no luck. everything seems to be right? Iv tried to run the na computer and no maf at all but still nothing? local mechanic said if I have all the computers keys and parts from same car there shouldn’t be an issue with it... sorry guys dragging on a in a bit but trying to explain in as much detail as possible when I go to start the car it fires up but dies. do I need to get a sct flash tool? or anybody have had this problem before?

Hi there needing some knowledge and advice, I've got a 2003 ford ba xr6 turbo auto. I've owned it for around 2 and a half years now and it's always had problems, biggest one is when you put your foot down and hold boost for more than 3 or for seconds it starts to shudder really bad and go into like a limp or safety mode and wants to conk out, only way to stop it doing it is to feather the accelerator numerous times then goes back to normal. No engine lights come up or anything of that sort. I had the spark plugs and Coils changed when I first got it, changed the wastegate, that fixed it for a coupe days then went back to sh*t, changed the wastegate solenoid came good for a few days then went to sh*t again, it started popping and backfiring and over boosting so I changed both map sensors helped it a fair amount but still pops and misses under heavy load and goes into that safety mode again when I hold boost. Really need help and advice on what It could be. Maybe the computer needs a tune or something? Maybe the wastegate flapper isn't opening fully.? It's all stock standard besides a rear muffler delete.. If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated

Recently replaced my blow off valve with a new scarles one, discovered that the old one was sucking in air at idle cause if my car to run at 11 in vacuum according to the gauge. It’s now at 20-23 in vacuum at idle etc now. I took it forbits first test run tonight since doing some maintenance and have found that it’s not boost right, it picks up boost well and then once it hits its peak the boost drops to about 2 psi (standard 4/5psi tune). The car seems to shudder and lurch about occasionally surging back up and down, a couple of times it had a slight backfire. Temp is normal. No smoke. No lights showing up or anything to show that it’s picking up an error. Has anybody had this issue before ?

Hi, I'm considering buying a second hand xr6 turbo and was just wondering if any of you could help me with some pointers on what to look out for, for example how many kilometres is too much? on average when do parts start to blow? My budget on only 5k and most cars at this price usually have over 170'000 on the meter which is why I would like some help on what to look out for. Thanks

OK so I've had my mk2 BA 6 speed off the road for about 6 months, had to replace a few rear bushes so me and a mate pulled the rear cradle out etc. Anyway it started having pressure problems, as old mate I bought it off had it tuned to 16psi, and it stopped boosting altogether. the pressure problem has been fixed, but now when it starts hitting full boost it feels like a cyclone is pushing me side to side. the car sat for a little too long so it has minor flat spots. Has anyone experienced this before? im thinking tyres are cooked or possibly wheel bearings? everything feels tight under the ass end with the spanners so dont think its got to do with my incompetence reinstalling the cradle. TIA

So story goes, had just started driving home (8-10km drive) and noticed the speedo wasn't working (km/hr), then when I was nearly home the etc light came on and it went into limp mode, luckily I was only 1km from home, so I just limped home. Once home I turned it off, locked it, then unlocked it and started it, it started fine, I reversed down the driveway and drove back in and everything is working fine again. Does anyone know what's going on? Will be seeing a mechanic 2moro, last service was only 600kms ago, battery and alternator replaced about 5000kms ago It's a bf2 f6 ute. Any help will be mu hoy appreciated

Okay so I'm having a bit of difficulty with getting a dose or anything resembling the turkey orgy. I have blocked and removed the blow of valve. Slapped in a 3inch pipe that I sourced from the local exhaust joint for $25 and then I cut it down to size and threw a small POD filter on top. But with all this done I'm still just getting a PSHHH... No flutter at all. :'-( I'm starting to think my car might not be fully sick enough... If any of you lads can see what I'm doing wrong (other than wanting a dose pipe in the beginning) please let me know. I was also wondering if I may just need more boost to get the flutter???

Hey guys, I have a stock Bf xr6t. Im looking to upgrade the exhaust to a turbo back. Im heading towards either a plazmaman, nizpro or an xforce turbo back exhaust. I want to know which system is best for performance and sound in your opinion? If you could throw in a link to the exhaust aswell that would appreciated. Also what measurements for the dump pipe and cat will achieve what im looking for? I dont want to buy a 4" dump pipe for overkill. Thanks guys

Hi all, I am new to this forum and was wondering if someone with experience could help me out. I have a few things I am planning on doing to my 2007 BF XR6: 1. Install an aftermarket head unit (I have purchased this: JVC Mechless Bluetooth/iPod/MP3 Player) (I have also bought this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/260737641682) 2. Replace all factory speakers (I have purchased this: Fusion 6" 2 Way Speakers (Note: I have bought the converter and not sure if I should buy another pair of these or the same brand but factory sized speakers) 3. Install a subwoofer and amplifier (It is a sub and amp combo: Economy Active 12" Subwoofer) (Needs 10 gauge wire) Could someone people help me out in terms of how I should go abouts connecting the headunit. I have been searching and searching all day tbh. Then some information/guide on how it all connects and works :/ Many thanks!!! (Merry Christmas) -

today I just changed over my passenger side engine mount to stop my annoying vibration on idle, it was a fairly simple job took about an hour, bolts were easy enough to get to but I cant find anywhere on the net the procedure to change out the drivers side mount, I really don't want to take my turbo off again just to get to the top bolt if I don't have to. so I was wondering if anyone has changed over the drivers side mount and not taken the turbo off, any pointers or tips would be great. or even just to clarify that it is necessary to take the turbo off would help cheers

Hey guys. Has anyone ever put ladder racks on? ... as I need help! Just purchased some ladder racks off gumtree for my Ba series 1 Turbo Ute. Taking the hard cover off putting a few toolboxes in the back for work. The Racks I have purchased don't seem to fit... Where I mount the bracket on seems to clash with the tub liner at the front and the back. I was assured that from Au-Bf would all fit, but does not seem that way. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks, Matthew Withall
