ba turbo

[c_gurnett]

ive got a 02 ba turbo and its factory spec. it has had evrything done up to date, servive, tune ect, however when u plant ur foot it surges the whole time, has any1 else had this or know what it might be??

[needfordspeed]

Probably coils

[TAXI]

make sure you run a good premo fuel at all times like v power. mine will surge if i use different fuels.

[Jake]

Is surging when the car doesn't accelerate smooth?

How low do you run your tank? Need more than 1/4 of a tank

[Mr_4.0]

Coils if the car is stock.

Are there any mods at all?

[XR_Lightning]

ask icer...

it will be a stretched accelerator cable.

Why say something stupid to someone who is asking a genuine question? Not everyone has had a lot of time with Falcon's and may not be aware of the issues they may have. If you want to be a dick there are other places to do it.

lol settle down boss. he already had a few boys say it was coils i was bored.


not to mention he signed up a day before he made that post so once the issue is fixed we will most likely never hear from him again.

Factory but has a tune??


a) replace coil packs
b) replace spark plugs
c) if you give it a hard life and has over 150k's maybe valve springs have had it?

[c_gurnett]

thanks i was thinkin along the spark plug line, will have em and the coils checked out, also thers no acelerator cable its all electric.
could be the gas im runing. ill try diferent octaines.
im in new zealand and our tune up is the basic filters and timing, then a service is the fluids, its strange.
the car is stock, the only change is the turbo has larger inlet and outlet for the oil so i was told

[BBQBurner]

That sounds like a load of shit.

Turbo's are turbo's and they don't change the oil supply holes.

Sounds like i nice car, you should post some pic's.

[LOW_XR]

im guessing he means the banjo fitting hole was drilled out.

i did it with my f6 on the water side as i was told 35/40s love water.

either way, as anthony said chuck up some pics

[c_gurnett]

mint got it running sweet now im runing a higher octane fuel and the surging has almost stoped over the last days driving. wound her up to 200km and it was cruizing nicely. thanks for the help guys, ill post some pics in the next day or 2, as i nly have 1 to post now when i work out how 2

[iCER]

so what was the issue? Higher octane fuel?

[Mr_4.0]

If higher octane fuel stopped The surging then I hope you didn't drive it on thE low stuff for months. It wouldve been pinging badly if it got to a surging point.

[DJV8T5]

He only picked up the car recently, so would probably have just been the fuel that was in it when he got the car.

[c_gurnett]

yea ive had it 6 or so weeks and its been runing on 91, i gave it a clean out and run it on 95 now and its much better almost double the power it had b4. i havent used it much as i have anuther car for work so it hasnt done any damage runing the wrong fuel.
how do i upload pics??

[Mr_4.0]

Wrong fuel can do damage instantly.

If the fuel in it was stale before you bought it there's always a chance of damage. 91 should never be run in these cars.

[c_gurnett]

ford company here has done something to enable us to run the xr6t on 91 without damage, not sure what it is but gas heres way dearer. my m8s xr6t has only ever ran 91 and hes had it nearly 10 years with no problems.

[TUFED6]

You can run it on 91 it even says so in the manual, tho not recommended for performance. They have a knock sensor.

[Jake]

Would a knock sensor, when sensing pinging, retard timing and decrease power towards the top end?

I'm trying to work out why my XR-6 T has its days... seems to pull hard to red line some days and then some days its a dog and goes soft at 5k..

[BBQBurner]

the knock sensor can pull timing at any rpm it hears knock.

[Mr_4.0]

Ba knock sensors are crap. I wouldn't trust them one bit. You should see them going off with normal engine noise/vibration on a datalog. Very unreliable.
