Turbro6 New Member 3 Member For: 7y 4m 20d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/07/17 01:56 AM Share Posted 23/07/17 01:56 AM Hi all. So this week my BA II XR6 Turbo went bang. Lots of smoke and oil everywhere not to mention the unholy banging and clunking coming from inside the motor. Just had a look and found a gaping hole in the sump. Maybe the block is still stuffed? Don't know. I've been looking on line for a second hand motor and found a Typhoon motor that seems a reasonable price compared to the (what seems to be) rare BA turbo motor. With very little knowledge on this matter I do not intend on undertaking this task myself. Can anyone here help with advice on where I can find an engine, who can fit it and also are the wiring looms different between the BF and the BA? Is there much drama in fitting the later model engine in? Any help on this matter would be awesome guys. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Rob and have a chat, let him know your situation (ie new motor), your overall expectations and most importantly , your budget. He will advise you what the real outcomes for your spend will get you, but be prepared to have a few more $'s to part, with as his services are thorough, professional and honest. What im really saying is upgrades arent all that cheap, but they turn your 'good' car into a 'great' car when done properly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
