Hey guys im just new here but i have been on fordmods.com for a few years now. Im in te planning stages now with my EF XR6. The old girl is on gas (dual fuel) auto and has already had the head gaskit done. Mecanically she is perfect, so i figured it will be agood platform to start off with a car that i know the history on. The aim is to build a streetable turbo car, that will run day in day out, not so much a dyno comp winner. the aim is for between 250-300rwk. i was entertaining the thought of running it on gas, changing to gas research throttle body and a B2 converter if i needed to, but my question is, can the cooling system handle having a gas converter, a turbo, and the motor all plumbed into the one system? also the balance line the gas uses, where is this relocated to? Now onto the equipment side of things. What sort of turbo should i be running for this power mark? i have no future prospect to go highr than 300rwk. maybe a t40z?
if ive missed anyting please let me know.
cheers
George

As for the cooling side of things. My car is running fine with a heavy duty el radiator el twin thermo fans BA engine and turbo and doesnt even get to half way after a good flogging.
And if you really wanna run gas i know some people are running twin b2 converters with some good results. read EFFalcon's thread for more details. and have a look around the site, there is lots of info on here

thanks for the reply mate my key focus on building this thing is reliablity, so thats why im so keen to know about cooling ad so forth. i had a look at the snort kits, im thinking about a stage 3 at this time. sort of hard to make a decision when im not sure what im up in terms of tuning and so forth. oh and $$$$ always makes it hard
