ricky Member 39 Member For: 11y 2m 18d Posted 11/03/14 08:19 AM Share Posted 11/03/14 08:19 AM Hay guysHave fitted new turbo back exhaust to my stock bf a couple days ago. Ive planned on tuning in the next week or 2. The car already boost cut a fair few times. It did it today then shortly after ran like a pig for a minute. Then all off a sudden ran smooth and normal again after abit off a rev. I thought straight away my piston smashed one off my plugs or my leads are bad. Took all my plugs out they all were unusually .75 I recently replaced them with iridiums 1.1mm gap. I regapped them to .9mm to be on the safe side. I'm thinking there's no way all off my plugs have hit the piston to the exact same extent.? Or this was the gap they were when I braught them? Car does seem to slightly not run not quite as smooth on start up and idle with turbo back exhaust. But hardly noticeable.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87745-possible-damage/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be getting a compression test done either way. If you have the money then do some more stuff to your car (supporting mods) while it's at the tune shop. If not, back to stock6) $10 bucks says your diff bush is now rooted7) if you get a generic tune x3 from ebay prepare to make a new thread.edit post your location and everyone will recommend some good workshops in your area Edited 11/03/14 09:03 AM by sexual harrassment panda 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87745-possible-damage/#findComment-1459711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for some reason couldn't help myself witch is completely dumb. The gap for the plugs I braught were ment to be 1.1mm. But they were all 7.5mm. So I'm thinking manufacturer fault or gapped wrong. Is boost cut 23 pound? Diff Bush is fine. I live on the gold coast. Cars driving fine atm. Not going over 3rpm.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87745-possible-damage/#findComment-1459714 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranged between 149psi to 151psi through all 6cl. I've got the consistency but seems low psi?

You have some good tuners in and around the gold coast Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87745-possible-damage/#findComment-1460043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
