peter mc Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 well its all back together mods iv done wile the engine was apart ,iv done the water mods to the top of the p90 and put a -6 water bleed on the rear of the head . i also re honed the block with a torque plate and set the clearance to 4.5th, i also re decked the block and head to get a better Finnish , and had the crank polished to ,,, I'm happy now just have the water and oil lines to do now Quote
RB30X Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Looks awesome Peter. There must be more XF throttle bodies on other cars, then there are ford falcons these days. Oh and wont the air come out of those holes in the bottom of the plenum chamber????? Quote
CH105 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Peter, I wish you'd emigrate to the UK and build my engine. Quote
d3c0y Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 So that -6 fitting going from the turbo to the back of the block is a coolant line right? Quote
dat2kman Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 I run a small water line from under thermo housing, around front of head, along under spark plugs and into back of head near no 6 plug, ie a heater bypass, othetwise they can hotspot back around 6 Quote
luvemfast Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Peter, why wasn't this done to my head? Big difference to remove and mod it now :-\ Quote
Scoota G Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Peter, why wasn't this done to my head? Big difference to remove and mod it now :-\ Road car Vs track car? Quote
luvemfast Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Road car Vs track car? Who's in the what now? Calling my car a road car? Not a race car. That's completely different again. Quote
peter mc Posted April 27, 2012 Author Posted April 27, 2012 Well Simon its because the engines now have stepped up a notch or two in spec and Finnish ,thanks to Les ... iv picked up so much in a short time ,all we do is think up new ways to make L series go faster. SO to answer your question Simon it can be done very easy as your head gasket can be re used ... and it would be a good thing to do Quote
peter mc Posted April 27, 2012 Author Posted April 27, 2012 some picks of the water lines for the turbo ,, water comes from the lower block outlet and goes throw the turbo and then goes to the thermostat housing Quote
peter mc Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 ALL done ,, well sorta now its you better tune it to so off to the dyno soon Quote
peter mc Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 new pics of the dump and water hose lay out Quote

Moderators Zedman240® Posted July 19, 2012 Moderators Posted July 19, 2012 If that was mine, I'd have the exhaust and wastegate exit separately from just under the front guard...that's just me...hehehe looks great! Quote
peter mc Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 yer screamer pipes are fun but dam loud and so hard to tune , when there open you can not hear the engine ping Quote
Vindicare Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 looking good peter. Is that mild or stainless? Quote
peter mc Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Its mild steel , that will be hpc black like the turbo , i have also removed the inlet manifold as i was not happy with its finnish , it was so ugly it needed some love , its coming up nice now Quote
d3c0y Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 What's the little muffler on the waste gate return pipe for? Quote
luvemfast Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 What's the little muffler on the waste gate return pipe for? Isn't that just a flexible coupling/join? Quote
Vindicare Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah it's just a flex joint to help prevent cracking from heat cycles Quote
peter mc Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Well this thing is just about done now we had to re do all the ECU side of things as its running a CDI ignition so we upgraded the lume and distributor and coil pack ,, MAN this thing looks cool . i fitted the coil pack to the rocker cover and soft mounted it as per Autronic instruction Quote
Riceburner Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Perfect timing, will we see this in action at the nationals? Quote
Vindicare Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 No, doubt this car will ever leave WA. Looking great Peter, can't wait to have this back and in the car Quote
