Here's a quick little update video testing my BA's rebuilt turbocharger. I took it for a run to the PO Box and then finished up my maintenance on the AU. Both cars are running pretty well now! #motoringbox

I miss my old B series but I don’t miss the constant maintenance on them. My old AU was a different animal and was extremely reliable. Currently looking for another AU XR8 but good ones are getting a bit thin on the ground now.

@Low760 10 ай бұрын

Constant? What do they constantly need when driven normally?

@mahcooharper9577 10 ай бұрын

I've had a heap of B series and AUs, love them both and they both have their good and bad points. It has to be said that AUs are the more solidly built cars and better designed (inner door handles anyone?) but they're also a generation behind in terms of HVAC and I love the intech but the Barra is a different beast entirely. BA diff bushes are garbage and every XR6T I've had has been finicky and constantly needed fettling. Absolutely magic when they're running perfectly but that's not as often as you'd like. One of my BFs has done 500000k tho (300k with me) and aside from some ball joints and bushes it's been the best car I've ever had. Horses for courses at the end of the day. Like I say I love them both and there's nothing to replace them.

Turbo sounds great Sean. It's always good to keep spare parts stashed away for a rainy day. If you're going to replace your headlight clusters, Ozeparts have aftermarket ones which are good. Always with aftermarket headlights is to give them a good polish before you install them.

Sounds so much better!!! Be careful with too much boost, the conrods on the BA were not the strongest. At least at low rpm.

@gavinb9627 10 ай бұрын

Hi Mate. Have you tried polishing your headlights? The plastic gets sunburnt and looks like crap. The trick is after you have them all nice and shiny, use a headl;ight polish on them to keep them that way. Regularly using the polish will help, just like sunscreen for our skin. If the reflectors in the back of the lights are tarnished, there is nothing to fix that, just replace them. Cheers

Great to see the BA back on the road sounding awesome. Hard to tell what let go on the AU but my thoughts are the belt. Looks like your heater pipe is dripping there too, put a new washer and some gasket glue and will never leak again.

@DJBla2e01 9 ай бұрын

Great to see the BA back on the road, also keeping an eye out for when the Magna comes back. If you're after new headlights for the BA, recently I've seen some BA/BF XR headlights online (Mars Performance in Melbourne being one of them) that look identical to the stock ones, but with halos in them. I reckon they'd go really well with your fog lights.

100% that tensioner pulley is the cause and super common. Mine did the exact same thing

Mate your falcons are immaculate! I do miss your old VT calais, but im sure shes gone to a good home. My biggest regret in life was selling my BA XR6T in beautiful mandarin orange with the T5 manual. Absolutely immaculate in and out, but i used the money i got for it to buy a house. I still to this day look for it.....but with the power it had, I'd say its been wrapped around a tree or written off 😥

My xh through the belt just like your au and I replaced everything just as you did and did it again around a month later turned out the harmonic balancer was moving forward slightly throwing the belt replaced the balancer and been fine since 👍🏻

@Beer_Dad1975 10 ай бұрын

Turbo is sounding awesome! What state was the water pump bearing in? If it's stuffed it'll be the likely culprit - otherwise maybe the bent idler arm is to blame - it does look pretty flimsy. Not sure what the BA version of the Barra is like, but I did replace the tensioner on my FG turbo a few years ago, and it did not have a top idler arm on it (unless my middle aged memory is playing up), so perhaps your spare is back where it originally came from? 😀

have you got oil pump gears in this? or are you running stock ones still?

Stock, but the Haltech has full engine protection set up. So if I lose oil pressure I'll know something is up immediately.

I am an ex vet wanting to do a Barra conversion in a 68 mustang, i have done engine rebuilds on 1lt mc’s.I have a 2002 xr6T Ute to do the conversion. I have some mechanical knowledge but just want your advice on the core conversion and would like your opinion on the conversion as your last video was a few months ago, however do have the ability to do a rebuild. Only thing stopping is time and experience Very many thanks Steve
