Without sounding like a smart arse, if you want a BA turbo, why not return it to stock, sell it, sell your parts and get an XR6T? It'd most likely end up costing similar money in the long run, and you'd have better interior, stronger diff & drive shafts etc, plus it's pretty easy to find one with some decent mods.

i dont like xr kit, lights or interior(leather excluded)...

also turbo futura = win

ba turbo = common as assholes... everyones got one.

the only thing ba turbo has other than turbo that i like over mine is the blue cluster and icc...

and im on my p's so i cant get a ba turbo.\

my car was 16k over a yer ago probly get 12 for it now if that, ba turbo in good nick at least 20... ive spent about 2k on parts and have another 1k to go to get it running then another 800 for trans and about 700 to make my diff hold the power and im still getting in around the same price... but way more unique...

Fair enough mate. Uniqueness/surprise factor > resale!

I'm with you on preferring the look of a Futura over an XR - I hate the lights, kit, trim etc.

that should be pretty sweet! i was talking about doing the same thing the other day... BA fairmont/futura 10g's + smashed xr6t for like 6g would be a pretty cheap sleeper when its all done...
also xr6t injectors are the same as NA ones i'm pretty sure

ive heard varying reports ill have to check the part numbers at work...

i was also told they were the same just different regs, but who knows

Correct. Same but different reg. turbo Reg is $80ish from ford.

cool so probly cost me about $50

gotta love working at ford

ps:
i just put dylans old springs in for a laugh... i think i wanna keep em gotta love 4cm of tyre tuck

hubcaps are back on now but i cbf taking more pics...



theres about 10* of negative camber at the front VT independent rear style

Good plan with turbo gear.

In those last 2 pics, the pic of the rear it looks like the front is jacked up, the pic of the front looks like the rear is jacked up

funny driveway it actually looks lower on even surfaces. if i can be fucked ill drive it up onto the road later n get some pics

Why lie. You can tell its been jacked up. Other wise you woulda taken 1 pic of the whole car.

yeah not only did i use a jack i used a series of mirrors and a lot of smoke and flashing lights.







see in that pic the lower control arms....
/diff\ thats how they are meant to go
min are like \diff/ the angles arent to scale with the /\ etc but u get what i mean.... the cvs are meant to be higher at the diff end than at the wheel but mine are higher at the wheel than the diff


also forgot to mention have a 22mm rear whiteline swaybar and 30mm front whiteline swaybar

That's insane!

Driveway looks like it dips down then back up, hence the funny look in a few of the pics. I saw Dylan's xr on the side of the road, and that thing was slammed as, so it must look even more crazy with the 16's.

surprisingly his looked lower. but mine tucks more tyre into the guards.... the xr kit hangs down a tad more than xt/futura...

No jacks. we watched him put these springs in.

Appologies. That is very fkn low!

was funny to watch taking out the springs, it was jack up car , take of wheel , make something do massive clunk and then a kick of the foot and the spring fell out

put in in n

you are buliding the car i want to build. keep it that low and keep the hubcaps.

will this have more power over a std xr6 ? arnt the pistons differnt?

haha, that looks crazy as, its fuken low as

shit, thats a mad looking xr6t in that pic mate. lol

Nice work Bentley! It looks real good and rides tops on the road!

It looks mad with those springs, Bentley! You wouldn't want rims though considering your "Team Gutterslap" experience

i reckon it looks a little less suss than if i had rims cos it just looks like ive got supers and 19s or something from a big distance

Sleeper FTW!! Should be good once its done!!

Looks great. Maybe the only thing left exterior wise to do could be Fairmont rear garnish.

it has got the fairmont garnish.

Sweet

Wasnt there a BA Fairmont Turbo (Burgundy colour?) around a while ago? (XR6-T downgraded/upgraded to Fairmont spec, or Fairmont with turbo driveline, i cant remember).

Good plan with the turbo gear, sleeper is where its at. Good luck with it

yup have the fairmont garnish, wasnt sure if i wanted fairmont ghia... kinda dont like the reflectors but like the bigger garnish.... still dunno yet...

yeh there are a few turbo fmont ghias gettin around a dude i went to fordstar with one of his mates had a fairmont ghia with sunroof etc and got a wrecked xr6t.

my goal for it is to get the turbo gear on and running (aiming for 230rwkw with some minor tweaks etc) and get a sunroof on it, maybe rims, but liking stockies as it rides ok at that height due to the sidewall absorbing half the bumps

mate,

saw your car at the meet. very nice i must say. love what you have done to it externally.

well done.

cant wait till you finish it off.

the little pile is slowly growing

Very nice...Very nice! Hurry up!

Been there, done that. Done the NA to XR6T kit conversion. Went alright. Easy enough to do. Good luck with it!

Just wondering what you're gonna do with the boost control?
and braiden what have you done with the boost control in the conversion?

nice
what'd the turbo stuff cost ya?

will be using a 4sp auto xr6t ecu plug n play the loom for the boost control solenoid is already there on all cars(as its also used on egas cars) just have to link the bcm to the pcm (peice of piss as i work at ford) and the boost control solenoid acts with the ecu to control boost... the pic of my pile of crap so far has cost me $825

Some pictures of it from sunday with the Compressed Standards that used to be in Dyls car

also to add to that the turbo has since been sold

car will be up for sale in the next month or 2 just need to sort some shit out first...

will the springs be for sale lol
