Gday Guys,
I currently own an xf ghia auto with an efi mill running straight gas (rendering injectors useless) with extractors, 2.5" exhaust and 3" stainless steel pipe with pod running off throttle body/gas mixer for fresh air.
I dunno whether to put bigger pistons, cam and generally refresh engine to go harder as well as changing diff rartio from 2.77 to 3.23 or just get some xg engine mounts and slap in a stock ef engine and work that instead. Ef engine to run straight gas as well.
If I were to go with the ef option:
1. Would I have to also use the 4 speed auto box from ef or can I get away with using current xf 3 speed auto box with some sort of off-the-shelf adaptor/part? (4 gears are better than 3 obviously) What auto's did the xg's have?
2. Would ef tranny bolt straight into xf tranny tunnel or are mods required?
2. Would I be able to retain xf diff but with a differant ratio and could it handle ef engine output? What should I go for? Suggestions please.
3. This is what puzzles me the most and would shit me the most doing. Would the ef comp and loom hook up to xf ghia digital dash without major hacking? Anyone heard of anyone selling aftermarket conversion wiring looms like Aeropro do for stereo head units for various rides to suit new systems? What did xg's use?
4. Would current gas tank be suitable to ef engine along with gas convertor and mixer or would ef specific ones have to be sourced?
5. Any other issues I should know about besides tranny, diff and comp/loom if doing this?
6. Turbo or supercharger setup not being considered for either mill. I'd be up to my neck in debt.
7. Anyone know people in Vic that do these sorts of conversions?
Any feedback would be much appreciated lads.
Cheers,
