Mago Member 7 Member For: 12y 11m 25d Posted 18/02/14 08:01 PM Author Share Posted 18/02/14 08:01 PM The very first engine the car had got a 3inch staino, intercooler, 42lb injectors, CAI, tune and 18psi. It blew up then I replaced the engine, wasn't able to boost (sounded like traction control) then the 2nd engine blew up about 500ks after I put it in so now it's time to build one.

Mago Member 7 Member For: 12y 11m 25d Posted 19/02/14 04:08 AM Author Share Posted 19/02/14 04:08 AM No idea mate, although I did notice the fuel pump started making different noises instead of a long continuous hum. I'm. Not sure what one is in it either I will have to have a look. I don't think it is stock as it has got a surge tank bolted up in there Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87551-barra240-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-1456388 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mago Member 7 Member For: 12y 11m 25d Posted 03/04/14 06:00 PM Author Share Posted 03/04/14 06:00 PM Well unfortunately that plan fell through but a 6 speed conversion is underway as I managed to swap the BTR. I have been reading about the BA and bf engines and looks like I will have to settle with an LPG engine and decompress it. What would be the best one to use? Late 06 bf as they are pretty much the f6 bottom end or are all the LPG engines including the BA just as good?400rwkw is my aim and pretty safe. Won't be driven hard every day.
