Ben590 Member 13 Member For: 13y 3m 12d Posted 28/07/11 09:06 AM Share Posted 28/07/11 09:06 AM (edited) Hi guys, I'm new to the forums and have been chasing up on some info on a N/A to turbo conversion for my 2010 FG xr6 ute.now currently I have all:1. stock intercooler and pipes2. stock BF turbo3. stock FG dump pipeI will be tapping the oil return line into my sump and I have an xcal3 tuner so I won't need to change my ECU. I'm aware that I will also need a 2 point map sensor, thicker head gasket, boost controller, all oil and water lines for the turbo and intake and exhaust manifolds.Anyway what I'm asking is, what else will I need?and can somebody please give me a detailed write up for directions on the install. I have looked at the other posts though they really didn't give much direction.Any help guys would be great.CheersBen Edited 28/07/11 09:20 AM by Ben590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 1m 21d Posted 28/07/11 10:43 PM Share Posted 28/07/11 10:43 PM I would normally say the exact same thing as above 2 and 3, but in some circumstances if you get all the parts for the right price or free, whats the harm, I am upgrading pretty much my entire bolt ons for my xr6T and my mate has a na FG, so we are transplanting the parts from my car to his then buying anything that's missing from ford for cheap. If no-one posts back I will post up some pics and how to's when we get round to doing the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 29/07/11 02:30 AM Share Posted 29/07/11 02:30 AM Go price a taxi kit for the internals. And get all the externals cheap on the market. If you can do the labor yourself it is the cheaper way. IF YOU CAN DO IT. There is stuff all difference in the motors. Head gasket, rods and bolt on bits. There is no diff what so ever in the head, valves or cams.That does not count in insurance though. They will slug you more for a convert than a factory.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 29/07/11 05:08 AM Share Posted 29/07/11 05:08 AM Kewl. Hopefully you can get trade price on the upgrade then as well. I have the manuals for both if you need it. If those guys are with fraud they can just go into parts and print it anyway I guess.I would seriously consider upgrading the front suspension while you are in there. Bushes and dampers anyway. The extra squirt really shows in the handling and not in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
