    VH overheating problem

    Are you running a thermostat,if so which one? Are there thermo fan probes being used for optimum use(stop heatsoak ect),also is a waterpump controller being used to stop the flow and letting it sit in the radiator longer. Is the thermo fan shrouded,if not then get that fixed ASAP.Twin...

    Cheap VE?

    Roughly 30,000kms a year,wouldnt call that low kms imo.I think 17k plus on roads is to much for a base model 2008 Omega,is this your maximum budget?

    CSP,you summed it up with a better overall package.To me that makes it a better car,even as a Holden man at heart I know a good thing from the blue oval when I drive one. Not being bias is the way to go.......

    Panel Filter vs CAI (for V6)

    You are a impolite flog!,cant people on this forum reply as they would face to face. Elaborate more for us "noobies"lol when it comes to dynos ect. Im starting to think its the XR6T in my signature,wicked lol.

    Running hot after lim change..............

    Sounds like normal operation to me. When it hits 104 does the second fan kick in? I run a switch that allows me to kick the second fan in at 98degrees so I dont suffer as much heat soak,will hook it up to a thermo switch soon to stop me having to do it manually.No biggy though as its...

    Panel Filter vs CAI (for V6)

    But your baseline power would be 10hp higher so it evens out. Stick to the one place/operator and gains can be clearly measured no matter the number.

    Very nice CSP,if you get it tuned make sure the plastic UBP is replaced.High 12's,air-con,cruise,climate the list go's on...........all from a factory car.Give her a tune and run mid 12's at 180+kmh/r.Having a smaller rear housing than the F6 really helps the XR6T get up and go,they are pretty...

    Mechanic stuffed my engine

    The Tauraus is an absolute corker,real heavy labour consumer amongst the parts. I agree,silicone/gasket makers have their place,what material is the sump gaskets again,if its rubber then def no sealant needed.

    200rwkw N/A wont be possible at all without going full house,high comp,crazy cam,unstreetable manners and a defect magnet. All the boltons on a L36 in the world still wont get near the performance of a L67 with 87mm(10psi) pulley. Either open her up big time imo or just go L67 and do it...

    Spoken like someone with plenty of ignorance,lack of Ford knowledge. Go for a drive in a FG XR6T and tell me its like a Skyline,if you still do ill keep shaking my head I guess....Apples and toothpaste them two. I cant beleive I even replied to your diatribe,attack people's posts and...

    Trying to get car to idle, run after big cam install

    Initial timing should be rougly the same as before install. Being EFI the initial timing trigger is mechanically set in relation to the crank location(8 degrees advanced at TDC on piston 1)the advance will then be mapped through the ECU to get the best results for your combonation.Get it...

    Std rockers will be advised by most builders. As for the diff ratio your choice seems sound. Just noticed you are in Perth,speak to the guys down at BYE Performance,near Top Road I think?

    [WTF-SIX] VSII 6 Speed Manual Supercharged 4.2 Litre

    Nice useable(for L67 lol)power curve their mate,love the ceptors all round on the green mica,suits them fine.A BYE pod enclosure would suit it nicely:) Hammatime,once you get the L67 in you will love it.They pump out obscene amounts of torque.LSD=A must.

    attention MACE...not seeing any difference in your product

    If we are talking self learning ECU's then give the modification a week to bed in,not fair in using it for a day or two and giving it a review.When std my XR6T was a boat for a few days when ECU was reset. Just a thought.
