Hey Chris, Correct, they are selling Euro and USA Fords only now, the local manufacturing plants have shut down. ‘What a shame, actually :(

:lol: Yeah, they are fun-things when you put a bit of fire under their arse ....

Oops, my apologies, here it is: https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/ Agreed, they could have re-engineered it, as it were, it was basically an old cast-iron truck-engine that got a bit of treatment. Mine was a vicious bitch though, 400rwkw in a UTE with a live-axle was always going to make for a...

The Aussie in-line 6 was a nice engine, sure, my F6 Tornado made 400rwkw @~18psi boost or something such. But they are harsh engines, can’t rev much past 6,500 due to harmonics, as they have no balance shaft....thus a narrow RPM band for a lot of torque, which wasn’t that good an idea...oh, if...

In full agreement. You can see the effects both sides of that defect. The fact that you mention that the engine has been smoking on start-up sometimes....well, if it was blowing oil past the rings under power, that will drop the octane rating a fair bit, causing that cylinder to detonate itself...

I finally assembled and configured my AutoPI dongle, now my Moostang is IoT-enabled, with data-logging from the obd2 port directly to the Interwebz ;)

Very good reply. This won’t be for everyone, pretty much aimed at top-hp racers, but I would luv to get one of these and build a proper high-hp twin-turbo engine for that retirement project car I am planning. Hopefully enough years ahead to get all the parts together before I start that one...

Yep, have been considering that too, cheers Mike!

Nope, I am still considering my options....it’s a lot easier when you’re in the States, you have a huge selection available, shipping ain’t bad and your USD is strong.... Down Under, if I make the wrong choice, I’m stuck with it, combined with expensive shipping and a relatively weak AUD, I...

^^ Let’s hope so, I would like to get my hands on one of these :)

My dragy dongle arrived ;)

@Stymee: Again, if drags are important to you, you might need a bit more....but there probably is a lot to be had from getting the car to launch hard and proper, as that’s where ET’s are made or break....in the old days, we had 4-link or ladder setups with 9” Ford differentials, with 36-spline...

Own Owning a 670hp 2016 Roush setup, it will probably cater for your needs. A very much fun-to-drive road-car, lots on tap in linear torque and acceleration. Sure, it’s no Lund or PBD-tuned 3l Whipple monster with a 1000rwhp, but as a reliable, high-performance car, it provides for heaps of...

Yep, a very good assessment. I have read both Burkey’s threads, he explained his reasoning very well over there. It needs to be remembered that not everyone is about dyno-numbers, or ET’s ....for some, it is simply about the joy of driving, tailoring the power-delivery to their...

^^ For the record: I have a Roush 670hp setup in my car from the factory, but during the BF sales, I ordered a Gen3R VMP head unit, twin 69mm TB and the Whipple oversized HE....I will get a few more parts locally to effect the swap, including a few bits and pieces from MFP here in Australia...

Hi, again you talk about higher efficiency - in the case you referenced earlier, Whipple vs the TVS. I already acknowledged that (the same design) bigger blower will have lower charge-air temp, thus higher densities, thus at the same boost-level, should be able to cram more molecules into the...

It doesn’t make sense.....the downstream cylinder volume/stroke/rpm (thus displacement) would determine the volume consumed....I know why you would think that, but 15psi boost from a 2.65l volume SC = 15psi boost from a 4.6l SC......(of course ignoring lower temp/higher density charge from the...

‘Whilst the user-interface on most modern control-systems are mostly Windows-based, on plant-control level though, proprietary software/applications are used. To further complicate matters for hackers, all this reside in strict DMZ zones. Thus they will need to know their stuff just to make it...

I would think 9:1, max 9.5:1

Cheers Mate ;) Yeah, a bit tricky on the older style 2015-2017 non-vented factory hoods, blah....
