🛢️Barra Turbo Oil Feed Line - Every Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo Needs This RIGHT NOW! Goleby's Parts
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ส.ค. 2024
- If your XR6 Turbo doesn't have an aftermarket oil feed line for the turbocharger, you need to get one of these NOW! The stock standard oil sender has a tiny filter which is prone to clogging, killing turbos prematurely. Installing an aftermarket turbo oil feed line like this one with an in-line Turbosmart oil filter is a great way to fix this problem permanently, ensuring your turbo will always get a steady flow of oil and have the longest possible lifespan. #MOTORINGBOX

Make sure you check out Ian / HubNut's video of 'Betty' the AU Fairmont in the UK: th-cam.com/video/3TyXVP6V6zE/w-d-xo.html
Looks good mate👌👍🙂
Wow I would never have guessed you hadn't been wrenching on cars for years - you are doing great, no need to apologise! I would add that whenever I have a big job to do on anything, I tell my wife I need "x" tool, and she doesn't then bother me about spending the money on it - not sure if that's a useful hint or not ;-)
Interesting..I just went with the Mamba kit which was cheaper but works fine. It had a new banjo adapter to replace the original factory one, avoided having to bash out the old filter and risk reusing it at the block attachment. Also - if you remove the heat shroud it's way easier to to get to the bolts at the turbo end.
I brought a Aeroflow oil feed hose kit. It wasn't cheap, but like u said, you don't want to destroy your turbo. The inline oil filter has a large reusable filter, so you can easily clean it out, being reusable u can clean it out more often. I also bought the Aeroflow oil and water bracket, which looks pretty good. I have to thank you for doing this video mate, I know what I have to do now. Yeah I reckon the Aeroflow bracket and feed line is a bit better than your kit. I don't like the idea of having to keep buying filters all the time. Is your turbo 3584
Barra!
Can’t wait to get my own falcon, I’ll make sure to always come back to see your videos if I have any problems
Good luck mate, nothing like finally getting something you've been waiting for 👌
@@MotoringBoxTV There's no 'if' you mean 'when'.
Yep been a Hubnut subscriber for quite some time now, great to see a AU in Wales
I'm loving it!
I did this on my FG nearly 2 years ago at about 80,000 KM. It all went smoothly, with no leaks. My filter had no signs of blocking up. The original filter on the FG/FGX is substantially larger than the one on the BA/BF so they're probably less prone to blocking up. I also suspect that those who have had problems drive their car hard, don't change their oil often enough, and use cheap oil.
Probably right!
I have had my XR6T for 9 years on the standard fitted filter and NO issues. Regular service is all that I did over all those years. Mild 14psi tune.
Some people are fine. Some people are not fine.
Mine lasted 13 years before it gave out. Still gave out.
Awesome work. Good on ya for giving it a go yourself. All mechanical work is, is dig in, give it a shot and repeat. That’s how we learn. Nice!
Thanks mate - it's true!
I honestly love your videos, its really helped me understand more and more about my 2003 BA XR6 turbo. I’m currently learning about the car and the information I get from this helps me know what to modify mine with basic mods
Gonna give this a crack today thanks to your video! Not mechanically minded whatsoever, but you made it look very easy and straight forward! Thank you for actually covering every single step of the process, unlike a lot of other youtubers!
I love you’re channel so much! Please keep up the awesome Aussie car content! ❤️
Well done. The car is getting incrementally better each video.
I want one!
Thanks! 👍
Might be worth chucking some old fuel line around the braid where you've zip tied it to the water hard line. Braid is pretty abrasive and could work its way through that hard line over time.
I'm probably going to move it slightly so they don't touch there.
Just a bloody great video as usual man🤷♂️☝️☝️
Good job Shaun
Nice sensible upgrade in terms reliability and service ability.
Nick
Looks great, the Barra will run for a while now. Quality work.
Mad respect that you attempt these upgrades mate. I'm still stuck with going to the mechanic to get stuff done. I'm glad the au does not need so much stuff. with every video I watch from you though I wonder why the hell I don't try some of these things ;)
Depends what you need to do I guess, if you're interested you've gotta start somewhere. Oil and filter change is a good starting point!
Cool video, thanks Sean. Will have to remember this when I get a ba turbo one day!
No need to pull any fuses to crank without firing.
Just hold foot hard on throttle. Failsafe is built in so it won't fire/start at 100% throttle.
Also good after oil changes.
On the subject of having the right tools for the job, my mate and I were doing his rear wheel bearings on his BF wagon, so they were live axle. We didn't have a slide hammer to pull the runners out of the axle shafts, so we got a really long stud, a couple of nuts and a big socket to basically make our own. It felt like there was no hope, but sure enough out it popped and my god I was so proud of myself
Good on ya!
1. I like the way you do your videos. You make the viewer feel like they are the with you.
2. Making mistakes means you keep it real. I do appreciate that.
3. For the return line could you use a couple of hose claps attached to the Rocker Cover bolt or would that affect the seal on the Rocker Cover?
Superbly Accomplished 👍🏽
Cheers buddy
Thanks Sean. You make it look easy! I'll be very nervous to do this on my car but like you said, how will you learn? Keep the vids coming. Cheers
Excellent job. The only way to learn is to get stuck in and learn from your mistakes.
I've bought tools for a single use, at least I have them if any mates need them.
Thanks mate! Yup, that's true. Mates helping mates is awesome.
nice video. i have had that kit sitting in my shed for a few weeks now and will do mine this week. glad i watched cause now i know what size sockets i need. tip for others if doing this while you have the oil pressure sensor off you may as well fit a oil pressure gauge.
It was a bit daunting, but once you know the tools needed it should be a lot easier I think.
You have a nice car mate, I love how you explain everything steps by steps
Glad you appreciate it mate, thanks for the comment.
A valuable upgrade. The very first thing I did on my turbo falcon 👍
Definitely worth doing!
Nice work, I added an oil pressure gauge sender while I was in there when I did mine(for the two gauges I added on top of the ICC)
I couldn't find much in the way of braided water line kits to match, I ended up getting a Mamba kit that I haven't fitted yet.
I like the stock piping and crossover too, I have put a heat resistant stick on matting on the underside of my crossover and trimmed carefully to do the underside of the turbo intake pipe and the turbo pipe to the throttle body without being able to be seen from the top.
I have also fitted a growler intake to replace my factory airbox(which I previously had a k&n panel filter in) Although expensive, definitely an improvement over the stock airbox with better fuel economy I have found and still retains a somewhat factory look.
Cost me lots but worth the piece of mind and UK import duty. Mamba kit was my choice. Loving the content. Can't wait till you start super pro,ing all your suspension. It made mine so much more planted.🇬🇧
Hay Guy's SeanFix here
Very cramped 🤣 love the jokes Sean, try fitting headers to a boss 😉👍🏼
I've heard quite a few people talking about that before, it must be horrendous.
@@MotoringBoxTV mate the 5.4 dohc heads are massive, there's definitely no room for activities lol
Great video mate, I'm in the middle of installing a new turbo on my FG because I ignored this advice from friends. Filter was completely blocked upon inspection.
Ahhh you just reminded me of my mcgivor moment with my old ba egas. I made a tool out of the top of a spark plug jammed on a bolt to remove a part on my gas converter. Made life so much easier 🤣
I think you just out McGyver'd me haha
That turbosmart filter is serviceable, unscrew and clean out the gauze filter inside 👍
Good to know!
Good job mate , theres nothing like the nice feeling of working on your car (most times haha) and fixing/upgrading it , the people that don't work on their cars are really missing out , but then again Its not for everyone.. I know people that shouldn't be within 2 feet of an engine because things can get dangerous if not done correct on a car. Safety is key
Definitely a fine line there when it comes to skill level and what jobs you should attempt. I've typically avoided suspension and brake work for that reason, but gradually gaining the confidence (and hopefully skill) to start doing that soon.
@@MotoringBoxTV Hi mate , brake and suspension work is honestly not that difficult and judging by your mechanical knowledge and skill of working on cars , you would do great - you certainly don't look like a complete stranger to wrenching on a car mate so dont be affraid , have confidence
Thanks for watching! Like, comment or sub to support the channel.

Just discovered your Instagram page. Awesome work👍🏻
I really should post more over there
Great DIY vid Sean!!
You should hit up Pepsi Max for a sponsorship!!!👌😉
I think I'm a bit small-fry for them 😂
Nice work Sean. You can get metallic cable ties that should do the trick with securing the oil line as I suspect that the plastic ones you used will melt fairly quickly.
I would be surprised if they melt. I do have a proper line holder on the way, should be here in a week or two.
Hey Sean.
To remove smaller circlips you can just use a tiny screwdriver and insert it into one of the holes and pry it out. They are extremely easy to remove. This saves potentially bits of leftover metal and plastic from working its way up the lines
Yeah I tried that, she was pretty stubborn though. In the end brute force got it all out and I sprayed the fitting out with WD to make sure it was all flushed out.
Mate good video. Did this myself a couple months ago. Recommend you try the nitrile gloves that are thin like surgical gloves. Very tough and lots easier to feel what you are doing.
Agree on keeping as much as possible stock. Always gonna be worth more in the future.
These ones aren't as thick as they look perhaps, I get plenty of feel through them. Nothing like the surgical style ones though of course.
Good job mate! A bit of a fiddly job but well worth it in the end. :-)
Another top video Sean, glad to see a can of Pepsi Max making an appearance in every upload now😂😎👍🏼
👌👌
Damn! Totally got me with balancing the sensor on the front of the engine bay.... haha
Hahaha
Coilovers next , may I suggest - Shockworks.
The developer / owner is an Aussie in Victoria, he tuned the fpv stuff and Ford I think and they aren't expensive units and also made in Korea.
Probably not, I think the standard suspension tune in these cars are great. Maybe if I were 25 again.
Well let me just say you have an awesome channel and I’ve enjoyed your productions immensely. I don’t mean to be critical and I understand your excitement about your xr6 turbo and it’s addition to your fleet but one of the reasons I began watching your channel was because you covered more unloved and obscure vehicles that were normally overlooked such as your Fairlane and Au ghia. The XR6 turbo is a great car but it is also a car that is extremely popular and is featured a lot on channels. It was just nice to see some more unusual and perhaps even unloved vehicles. Could we perhaps see a little variety. Anyway as I said I do love your channel. By the way I believe you helped Hubnut with Betty so how about an episode with both of you?
Thanks for the feedback mate, it's fair and I hear you. I will have the AU back soon for a few things!
Hey Sean. If you trying to reach the screw tighten. Like what you did with the aftermarket oil line on top of the Turbo try buy a set of Flare nut scanners from SCA they are like about $30 and you’ll thank me.
meanwhile the au just sits there letting air in as nothing to do :D
It never needs much haha
Next project, turbo side intake and battery relocation, no more groundhog days :)
Just to let you know mate, with JIC or AN fittings, there's no need to use sealant. They don't seal on the threads. With the sender and banjo threads you do need to use sealant.
Yeah I heard afterwards. But also read it doesn't hurt to do so.
You don't need sealant on the banjo, that's what the crush washers are for.
Something I found out today, hopefully others can benefit from. If you’re having trouble with your front brakes sticking it could be the brake booster rod that has backed out and causing constant pressure. Causing poor fuel economy and warped discs. Worked for me today and apparently it’s a common issue (there are a few TH-cam videos showing how to do it). If that doesn’t work then see if the calliper pins are freely moving.
That actually happened to the previous owner of this car - new booster and discs fixed it
@@MotoringBoxTV sorry didn’t mention you can adjust the rod.
New discs for me soon 👍🏻
It's definitely this that warps the rotors. Adjusted mine a few years back haven't had an issue since.
Slick!
Nice video sean. Next video how to install an boost and oil gauge👍
Mine has both already unfortunately, haha.
Some opinions suggest the filter was put in place after there were failures of turbos from casting sand making the blocks killed the turbos. This filter was supposed to be cleaned at each service and then removed after 100ks? This filter is not known in all turbo feed lines in other turbo models cars. Replace the line as suggested in this video or just remove the filter from the factory line if your engine has done over 100k? or just clean and replace filter. Do your own research, if you need total peace of mind put a inline filter replacement. I have two turbo territorys, one with a replacement inline filter and one with the factory filter removed. I guess for me time will tell. You be your own judge, research and then own your final decision. The first indication your factory filter is blocking is a oil pressure low indication light. The sensor is downstream of the filter. Dont drive around if this fault light comes up.
Good choice kick that filter and replace the line 😋
AU cameo 👍
Looked good in the background I thought 👌
Can you one day make a video on a oil pressure Gauge sender on a AU because I got a XR cluster in my XH Ute and I hear that AU and XH engines are similar. I need to know how to change it
Good job, mate. Couple hundred $$ is cheap insurance. I prefer the stock look, too. Keeps unwanted attention away.
This line does stand out a bit, but I think I'll get used to it. Worth having for sure.
There's no need for thread sealant on those feed lines because they're all AN fittings and they don't rely on the threads to seal. It's going to be a pain to clean it up when you replace the filter in the future
Good to know. Shouldn't hurt it I suppose, I kept it away from the beveled bit at the end.
@@MotoringBoxTV Yes, the thread seal will just gum up the threads and make them more difficult to remove. We live and learn 😊 The finished result looks great.
Good work O’l boy!
Keeping up with the maintenance and general up keep inside and out of your AU and XR6T, it will certainly be worth the effort in the future.
Amazing the amount of owners are now having a go themselves watching an amateur like yourself working on your cars. Commendable.
Cheers mate!
On another note, those hard to get at connections can sometimes be more easily accessed by using a crows foot…. If you cant afford a set just buy one size at a time in the most commonly used sizes. Eg i have an 8, 10 and 12. I also picked up a refrigeration mechanics spanner set at trash and treasure for $10. Basically its a small set of crows feet but with 50% longer jaws than a normal crows foot equiv.
I reckon you could make your own bracket. Find a design online and copy it. I did a similar thing and moulded a little cover over my alternator, you could easily make something up for your oil line.
I actually bought one and installed it backwards, so the line mounts face towards the engine instead of the front of the car. I was actually surprised just how well it all worked.
Hey mate great video love your work. What sealant did you use?
It was Permatex thread sealant. Apparently the AN fittings don't need it, but surely it didn't hurt.
@@MotoringBoxTV legend thanks mate really appreciate it
The turbosmart oil filter opens up. It has a washable element inside it. You dont need to replace it 👍
I'd be double-checking the braided line where it's attached to the block. Looks like it might rub on that bolt just to the left of where it bolts up.
Well, wish I knew this beforehand. SY Territory Ghia Turbo, 180,000kms, driving to Qld from Vic and back, turbo ground itself to dust on the way back over the great dividing range.
Sorry for your loss. It doesn't happen to every vehicle, but considering how cheap the kit is compared to a replacement turbo.... it certainly makes sense.
@@MotoringBoxTV Failures are just opportunities. Gonna reco the engine and throw it in a GU3 Patrol I think. Cheers for the video anyway, hopefully helps someone else before their "opportunity" presents itself.
I’m glad you did not edit that nice tap to the side of the guard bro 👌🏼 I don’t think anyone noticed.
Warts 'n all.
@@MotoringBoxTV that’s the spirit bro. 👌🏼
@@MotoringBoxTV A time of me writing this comment to respond I just finished a whole front end of a Ford BA Falcon what a ball breaker. Sitting back drinking a couple of beers. 👌🏼

Right meow!
If you are thinking about getting led tail lights or head lights I have just got rears for my bf and I couldn’t believe how nice they were when I got them and put them on. The eBay shop I got them from is Mars performance I got the black back and clear lenses and they changed the look of my car highly recommended Mars performance they are really helpful with any questions you have or need help with. I also got halo and projector headlights for my wife’s hilux and rear led smoked lenses from them as well. They also have mags as well but they are not the average same as everyone else’s wheels and have some awesome designs. Thought I’d share it with you just in case you were thinking of getting these parts.
I don't suppose you run Mars Performance do you
Have you thought of using a borescope to film the spaces too tight for the gopro? Some of them come with SD memory cards to record video (gen vga-svga qual), as well as data cables. Theyre not that expensive and make looking into tight spaces so much easier
Supercheapare selling a-recordable borescope from this thursday for $60. Useful for filming in those tight spots 😁
A mechanics stethescope (on my list) also seems like a good idea so you can figure out exactly where that fu#&*ng noise is coming from.
1:00, Ask a turbo specialist what he thinks about aftermarket braided lines. The filter remove it, yes.
I am not convinced it'll be an issue, but let's see hey.
For some reason after watching this I had to go out and buy a Pepsi Max….. Maximum flavour zero calories!
hey mate what made you pick the Goleby's BA-FGX Falcon Barra Motor Turbo Oil Feed Line Kit: over some other ones from ebay???
Bear in mind I bought it a year ago, but at the time most of the other kits seemed to locate the filter smack bang at the front of the engine. I liked this one because it sits to the side, between the engine cover and the power steering pump.
My FG was already equipped with an inline filter.
Can you pull your filter apart? it should be able to come apart so you can clean it.
I didn't realise at the time of filming, but the Turbosmart filter is serviceable yes 👍
Do you need to drain the oil to replace the oil pressure senser?
No it's above the oil level in the sump. Some oil will come out but it shouldn't be much.
@@MotoringBoxTV awesome thanks... Saturday morning done...
I knew 21mm was the ticket. I was thinking why doesn't he have that then had to remember DEEP socket.
I don't have the greatest collection of those either.
I don't think Miss Hubnut is keen on Betty going by her reactions. I'm happy if you're happy was one and the other was quickly changing the subject when he made mention of it during their road trip to festival of the unexceptional. I think it's something to do with Betty replacing a Citroen she was attached to.
She'll come around
You won't believe what I found in hard kerbside rubbish last night. I had a look in a large cardboard box and what should be lying on top inside? A beautifully detailed small model of an AU XR8 ute on a plinth with missing front wheel but with disc brake assembly showing. You can even turn the tiny disc rotor.
Yeah, partners often don't see eye to eye on certain things.
Does the filter ever need to be cleaned or replaced?
Perhaps not every oil change, but probably every second one it'd be worth taking it off and cleaning it out.
Mate it's possible that the little oil filters can be cleaned and re fitted?
Not that I've heard of, but you never know. Bit of a pain to access though.
yep they can be cleaned and refitted i have done it on mine but are fitting an aftermarket one this weekend
How do you do anything with gloves 🧤 on
At first it dulls the sensation of pleasure ever so slightly, but after a while you don't even realise you're wearing them. Plus it means you won't ever end up with an unexpected.... cut on your hands or fingers 😏
pls tell me what is then the purpose of a oil filter that on the engine already ??
You'll have to ask Ford. I suppose it has something to do with the small oil galleries running through the turbo.
The reason is the early BAs used to blow turbos from swarf getting into the oil line from factory production tolerances not being amazing in the casting process. Generally when the car has done over 20,000kms it wasn't much of an issue, and it improved in later models. So if the car has had regular oil changes you technically don't need a filter, but it also dosent hurt.
Random question
But is the au a family car?
And the ba a show off car like to special occasions?
Something like that, the AU gets a lot more usage.
@@MotoringBoxTV cool my dads au did 1million km’s before he blew it up
Bin factory filter put back together don't need inline filter
Pretty much, that is filtered oil already, so if you need an inline filter you honestly need to question the oil you’re using & the frequency of your oil changes ..
Gotta have Pepsi Max on hand for any installation :D
Nothing beats it 👌
@@MotoringBoxTV 100% true, gotta love that 0 sugar
Fit a new oil pressure sender while you're at it
Pull the fuse and let it conk out before you start I guess
Is your inner wing under the air box all scratched up? Why?
Edit: Drink water!
I don't believe it is, it's probably the reflection of the LED strip I have on the ceiling above the car.
👍
Super cheap sell decent tools for the price. You need to think of them as an investment not just something to do the single job.
Without going out and looking at my engines, this seems like it might have been one of those situations where it would have been better to route the line down the bottom-front of the engine, rather than around the top-front? It means a longer line, but one advantage might be that the line would be below the sender, so would always have a little bit of oil in it for startup.
Commenting on my phone because comments on any Web browser I use gets deleted.
all the comments except the phone ones are gone :(
Can’t you just replace the oil filter banjo jobby and call it a day?
For sure.
yes you can but you will need to remove and either clean and replace at least each time you do an oil change
Stop leaving your oil change past 5000km then and you wont have coked oil block the line will you. Engine flush every second change or just remove the bango bolt and take the filter out... just some ideas for your Fixed Or Repaired Daily.
The problem is, aside from the standard filter being too small, it's also plastic cased so it gets brittle over time. You don't need to use engine flush either. Nothing wrong with fords.
Get yaself a socket set man! lol
I have 3!
@@MotoringBoxTV Then why you macgyvering a poor spark plug socket for man! haha
Just not having the right sized deep socket in this instance. One of my sets only has them up to 19mm, which was inconvenient. Luckily the spark plug one did the trick.
@@MotoringBoxTV Get the toolpro 138 piece set, comes with a crap tonne of stuff you'll need all the time. when they are on special, you can pick them up for almost $1 per piece which is ridiculously cheap.
Tools, yes just buy when you can cos you never know when you need them. You have the basics but specialised tools are usually once in a blue moon purchase. Glad the turbo oil feed kit has worked for you.
I always read & re-read if I need to do any major work. Eventually someone you know will want to do the same thing and you can easily show them.
I'm not a fan of HubNuts work. He borrowed a Holden VU ute & kept wondering why he was wheel spinning around the corners. I explained that driving a ute & sedan have major differences in driving style but Ian kept putting his foot flat to the floor going around corners. Especially after it had been raining. He didn't like my comment about changing his driving style to suit the vehicle & conditions and his sour reply I did not welcome it. He had treated other vehicles accordingly to their age & driving style, but not the ute. I unsubbed his channel. If you're borrowing someones pride & joy for filming purposes, respect it.
I don't think I watched that one. For the most part he seems to treat cars well.
Not necessary. . Don't invent new problems. You'll spend days fkn around with it leaking .
I currently own F6 and 3 X xr6t previously.
What are you actually talking about?
@@Flying_GC I'm not sure ? But what I do know is , 'my cat's name is Mittens'.
I hope this helps.
@@zenovich1 how about rather then being a clown that's apparently owned all these cars, elaborate. Are you trying to say the aftermarket oil line is a bad idea and shouldn't be done? Because if so I have a bridge you might be interested in buying. Regards an XR6T and F6 owner (since that matters apparently 😂) hope mittens is well.
@@Flying_GC Mittens is well and says F U.
And to your question. Yes.
Please send pictures of this bridge, (since that matters apparently 😅) that you apparently wish to sell to me apparently. Apparently.
I have no interest,(apparently) but Mittens is keen to add more infrastructure to his portfolio and demands that you reply hastily. ! You heard him bitch.
@@zenovich1 haha Mittens sounds like a great cat, unfortunately my dog won't swear at randoms on TH-cam. Anyway on a serious note, I gather you have never taken your turbo off or modified it in anyway, and had to deal with the factory hardlines failing, cracking then leaking. Which they did on my XR6 and Typhoon. Advising people that this 'upgrade' will cause more issues, and cause leaks, is poor advice. I've never had a leak, nor anyone else I know in the FPV owners group who've done this. That's why I didn't know what you were actually implying, because you didn't make any sense. And I mean that in the nicest way possible.
Disappointing that a billion dollar global car giant couldn't have made a decent feed in what was a $66,000 car in todays coin.
