Respect to you, being able to sit there and own your mistakes and put it out there for the world to see is a huge. You live and you learn, now to enjoy your car.
dont feel to bad mate. this hack fitted a big pod all good i thought. couple days later filled up with gas but when i got back to the car after paying i noticed a big puddle forming around the car. yep you guessed it when fitting the pod i hadnt noticed that the seal had fallen into the tank and so all the fuel was pissing out the top
😂 Probably part of the reason a hose got crushed in mine, had visions of the top not tightening down and pouring fuel down the road behind me! These things happen.
Thanks Browney, I was going to change my XR6 to a turbo but it seems to be far more of a drama than I want. Not looking to make a horse power monster. Might just leave her as N/A
First video I’ve watched of yours. Just want to say, it’s a beautiful example you’ve got! Envy is one of the greatest colours made, it’s a shame most of them are run down now. I assume the injectors you bought originally were second hand? I have also learnt, make sure to get them flow tested and cleaned first! It eliminates the issue before putting them in the car and doesn’t cost too much
Good stuff. Came across your channel by accident, looking for practical info on some rewiring for my FG N/A XR6. From the looks, you're a bit like me: living out in the sticks (in my case, Western Plains) and doing stuff at home unless forced into the city. I had to repair my old girl by hand on a shoestring after 'roo strikes (just finished respraying the front end the other day) and started some minor mods as I went. Watching this gives me hope that one day she'll be sporting a turbo too.😏
Sound very similar to me indeed mate, right up to the roo strike! Silly things they are. Fortunately it was in the daily VE so I don't mind the fix being a bit rougher, it's getting cable ties instead of nice new panels and paint like yourself 🤣. Good luck with the FG mate.
@@BrowneysGarage Score is 'Falcon 3, Marsupials 0': #1 did minor LH door damage (kept as a badge of honour); #2 took out RH fog lamp and mounting section (modified entire guard, converting fogs to custom CAI ports); #3 was the worst, crushed bonnet and under-bonnet damage (replacement bonnet from wreckers). All repairs and paintjob done in my carport. Worked out well in the long run; not only did I fix it with my own hands, I've made QOL upgrades and personal customisations along the way, so she's truly one-of-a-kind now. Old-school 'home garage' repair/customisation is a dying art, some of us have to keep the tradition alive. 😏
Wow Jason thanks very much mate. Although not sure Missus Browney should see us talking, been more than a few packages arrive at the house from yourself over the years! 🤣
You’ve saved me a few times mate 👍your vlogs are great. Be doing my diff bushes soon ,Watched you do it 10-15 times already . The beauty of utube browny.
The joys of working on cars are strange .... so rewarding when things you do make an actual difference, yet so frustrating when it goes pear shaped ! Sigh , now you just need as many projects as you have digits and you'd be approaching my feelings from week to week :). Hoping that the weather will allow the Missus to have a go at Ladies night only at Willowbank ! Hopefully it'll help her understand our Obsession better !!
So odd isn't it, I often wonder if I should throw it in and become a 'normal' person with all the free time in the world! And as you point out, I'm not even approach what your self or others put into them. Good luck, sounds like fun! Fortunately Missus Browney enjoys the cars too (mostly!), it's probably largely becuase of her we ended up with the BA at all.
I prefer to drink my feelings🤣 Well at least you sorted it Browney and helping others to try things with a bit more confidence cheers for sharing your knowledge 👍
Ford recommends that Fuel Filter to be changed every 2 years ( 40,000km ). Change fuel filter every 12 months. OEM ( Motorcraft ) fuel filter is good product and not very expensive. Buy the fuel filter from Ford spare parts and take it to a mechanic to change it. Rear Diff fluid 80w140 change it every 12 months, ford recommends every 2 years for general driving or 6 months for driving at fast speeds.
Good works yes we all been there like one time my car had fuel leak but silly me didn't realise i acerdenty pinched the rubber ring on fuel pump and it was leaking from there easy fix after alot over thinking and worrying it need new tank because herd storys them spiting
Don’t be so hard on yourself. It looks like a lot of little issues have compounded. You did well to call it when you did and not continue tossing parts at it. The correct tool to diagnose it, was realistically, the dyno
Hmm I like that, it is a bloody handy tool! I'm all good, only hard enough on myself on the day and to not do the same again, then get on with the next one. Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍
Whatever the one in the food court at Dandenong Plaza is... I also walk my stress off haha. Was alright but just a fairly stock standard, nothing to rave about 🤷
My Au turbo has pinged about 100+ times and it still doesnt get much oil in catch can or blown up in 2 years 😆 i had a Ti automotive pump it lasted 1 day wouldn't run on ethanol went in the bin.
Probably wouldn't have been too concerned with just that, but it was super inconsistent and still wanting to sit in the 13's from what I'd seen here and there. Sorted now anyway 👍
Good onya mate takes real guts to share your mistakes publicly. Glad the beast is running again. Those turbo noises sound mint.
Thanks mate. Turbo noises are so good, have been collecting parts this week for our turbo noise video and it should be a laugh!

Thanks for the attention to detail. Mistakes happen and many will try to redirect them to OTHERs, you didn't :)

Good video mate
Damn, thanks very much Boxer. Good luck with the XH and mega Barra, you're a mad man! 🤣
Good work getting it sorted mate, and sharing your findings so others can learn!

Keep up the great work mate and don't beat yourself up too much when things go pear shaped - all part of modifying a car 👍
If it was easy everyone would do it I guess! Thanks mate 👍
Go hard Browney we'll done cobber we've all had those problems working through it gets you there ..love the video keep em coming.
John ..willaura...😁
That satisfaction of finally sorting it keeps us going, sure there's some sort of addictive quality to it! Thanks John 👍
I prefer to drink my feelings🤣 Well at least you sorted it Browney and helping others to try things with a bit more confidence cheers for sharing your knowledge 👍
Oh I would too, but future me would not have 🤣. Thanks for being here and supporting as always mate!
Good to see you got the problem fixed, maintenance is always a good thing
Always a good thing, not much fun though! 🤣 Thanks mate

Great content as usual. Mistakes are a good sign of learning. Not for the pocket though! Keep them coming. Cheers
The cost of education comes in a lot of different ways! It happens, we'll keep pushing on 👍
great video. glad you got it sorted
great video as always mate, you've inspired me to buy a bf xr6 and can't wait to work on it! 👍🤙
Hope it serves you well mate... especially now that you buying it was part my fault! Thanks very much mate.
Look into getting an lpg model if you plan on boost. Ford put the turbo rods in it.
Could always T in a fuel pressure gauge, at least then you could monitor and set fuel pressure if your regulator is adjustable.
Good works yes we all been there like one time my car had fuel leak but silly me didn't realise i acerdenty pinched the rubber ring on fuel pump and it was leaking from there easy fix after alot over thinking and worrying it need new tank because herd storys them spiting
Yep, I check that damn rubber ring several times whenever I do that job just for that reason! Thanks Brock 👍

Will you ever upgrade your internals? Awesome video by the way👍
Would love to but I'm pretty tight/cheap! Wouldn't rule it out one day.
Love your videos mate keep up the good work
Thanks, will do my best! 🤣
Keep up the great content mate
Thanks, will do my best! Cheers for the support 👍
Hey mate, wondering if after you put the walboro pump in, were there any problems running rich before you got it tuned?
Cheers
seen the 98 fuel with coffee like powder in it cleaning the system out but blockes the filter.
Valve springs next 😁😁
Funny you mention that - think they showed their first sign of waving the white flag the other day. They're in the plans 👍
Was it a Kim Kebab or from the lunch shop up the top end near the meatworks by any chance ??
Whatever the one in the food court at Dandenong Plaza is... I also walk my stress off haha. Was alright but just a fairly stock standard, nothing to rave about 🤷
@@BrowneysGarage They have been there shit 27 years probably more
Pulsar turbo cast, all needed to be ground out on there join. They have fix this since then
My Au turbo has pinged about 100+ times and it still doesnt get much oil in catch can or blown up in 2 years 😆 i had a Ti automotive pump it lasted 1 day wouldn't run on ethanol went in the bin.
Cavemaned it open lol 😅
Have you upgraded to a 4 bar fuel pressure reg and 2 bar map sensor?
Yep, these were done as part of the turbo conversion 👍
for something like our set ups 12.1-12.5 at full throttle anit bad. our injectors do run out of flow at about 9psi
Probably wouldn't have been too concerned with just that, but it was super inconsistent and still wanting to sit in the 13's from what I'd seen here and there. Sorted now anyway 👍
Is that na injectors?
@@BCM4865 yes
@@danielveldman4690 theres no such thing as turbo injectors, there all na injectors, its the regulator that is different from na to turbo
Hey browny, what model scan tool is that, do you have a link to where I can purchase one cheers
Hey mate. It's a Autel DiagLink MD802 I picked up from eBay and it's been pretty good for everything I've needed (ebay.us/g6bbbg).
@@BrowneysGaragethanks legend, keep up the good work, cheers
can i ask. what are the two gauges needed to install that he has on his dash board please
👍
1000cc Bosch injectors, hi flow tested.
Well done
