map and air charge sensor in the same place? my map sensor tube is stuck into the intake manifold between 3 and 4 cylinders from memory...and it dont matter anyhow because you dont need a sh!tty MAP snesor when running a MAF setup :D same for air charge sensor.

god i hope it goes half as well as i want it to.

yeah but in the AU manifold there is no tube.
The sensor is integral to the manifold. I was thinking mainly of the plugs being totally different, but of course you don't need the things anyway do you

I think I'll shut up about that now.....

Hehe if you're anything like me when contemplating a mod, half as well as you want it to would break a few land speed records :)

lol yeah- originally i wanted a cam to make most use of the 5500rpm redline/head flow caractaristics, and would have been happy with 150rwkw.

cutting a very long story short, with the cam specs i have and the computer im getting, 160 looks very achievable, maybe even over that with the BBM.

you think i can find a tutorial anywhere to tell me what i need to fit a AU bottom and and BBM to a EB XR6 head, as well as wiring up a V8 computer with MAF sensor?

i think i might need to take a week off work to knock it over...im predicting a *few* teething problems...

fingers are crossed.

anyone want to buy a complete EB XR6 engine with a AU head?

mongrelEB · 12-14-2003, 02:06

I *think* the EB head ought to bolt onto the AU block, if so that's a good upgrade option for EA/EB owners and would probably be about the same/slightly less cost than porting out their old head

But I'm sure I heard somebody say they used only AU h/gs on their EA because otherwise it kept blowing them...

I'm now hunting around for new shocks and some lowered springs to fix my suspension probs.. and a reconditioned steering rack to fix the loose steering.

What shock/spring setups do you guys have? I'll probably go super-lows in preparation for the bigger rims i'm getting.. but what shocks are good but not too expensive? What costs am I looking at for 4 super-low springs and appropriate shocks?

Hey Rollin I'll take that AU head off ya hands as it will go well with my plans for porting etc. when you get it we shall discuss a price if ya keen.

a BBM is a broad band manifold, as used from EF to AU

Is that the thing that looks like a heap of snails on the passanger side of the engine?
And does it flow better than pre ef ones or something?
Will have a look at my car later :)

No the EF onwards manifolds don't flow as well as EB2/ED manifolds did. However they are better for fuel economy and revability as the runner length can change to suit the rpm.
