My 2010 XR50T Ute

[OZYWALKER]

Been on here for a while and now that the utes making decent power I figured I'd throw up a thread.

So go back a few years and I picked up the ute. 2010 XR50T auto in Silhouette all stock with the XR50 extras.

Stayed like that for a few months until I sold my BF RTV. Then I got stuck into modding it.

Fitted a Process West stage 3 intercooler kit (with turbo side airbox and battery relocation), Process West twin DW300 surge tank and fitting kit, Nizpro 4" exhaust, Nizpro over boost valve, Turbo smart BOV, PWR ZF heat exchanger and a set of Five O motorsports 1000cc injectors.

The wastegate was ported and a bigger flapper fitted and I got it back from CMS with 336RWKW on Eflex.

Towards the end of last year the standard turbo started to go so I took it back to CMS to have a GTX3582 fitted. Also had an MSCN turbo oil line, spool billet oil pump gears and a gibson 1000hp tail shaft fitted while it was there.

Had fuel surge issues so the intank pump was upgraded and It made around 430RWKW on Eflex on a hot arvo.

A few months after that it started getting fuel surge again which turned out to be the DW300 pumps giving in. Moved to twin Walbro 460s an FPR2000, Process West billet fuel rail and a set of KPM 1500cc injectors. Before it went into CMS I had some -12 fittings welded to a spare rocker cover and ran them to 2 catch cans.

Made a bit over 400RWKW on 98 and around 440 on Eflex. Tune wasn't pushed as the ZF isn't too happy.

Next up I fitted a Fenix 42mm radiator and removed the header tank. I used a modified GM filler neck to add the new fill point and installed an 82* tstat.

Got a bit carried away and ended up moving the ECU to tidy it up a bit, not the most practical idea but I like it.

Thanks to bomber pointing out the eBay add the other week I picked up a powerbond 20% under driven harmonic balancer kit. Also ordered some solid bushed engine mounts from "tuff mounts" and a billet tail shaft coupling from technico.

I borrowed the falcon specific puller from a mate and installed the balancer, pulleys and mounts. Didn't have a power bar so had to pull out the starter motor and jam the flex plate to stop the crank from turning (major PITA, fark that top starter bolt).

Anyway it revs a fair bit easier and feels a fair bit more responsive.

The mounts are pretty harsh but I expected that seems like most NVH isn't transfered to the rear of the exhaust as I've used solid rubber hangers and clamped those to prevent sagging.

Being a weekender its all good but will probably get the idle raised a bit to reduce it when stopped in drive.

Still waiting on the billet coupling to arrive.

Looks bloody good mate!

All I kept thinking was $$$$

Saving up for a zf soon? Must be a handful in a ute!

Any dyno charts?

Very nice work.

The holder thingies for the oil line - where did you get those?

[OZYWALKER]

Only have the 330rwkw chart but will ask for a new one next time its on the dyno.

Saving to do the shocks or the box, ideally the shocks first as it feels pretty average lately. Hoping the box lasts as it only a weekender now.

The oil line holders are dual clamp cable ties, I scored them from another CMS customer.

Also a note for anyone else fitting catch cans. Don't fit them up around the passenger side as I did near the battery.

The oily vapour smell gets drawn in through the ac vent directly behind it (at the base of the windscreen) and it smells really average when the car is stopped after giving it a bit.

Had a few more parts turn up today. The Technico billet tail shaft coupling and a Goleby's direct replacement E85 rated fuel filter (has a cleanable metal filter core).

Had enough crawling under the ute on stands so I'll get it done at CMS.
