Ok I thought I would post this up over the next few weeks to anyone who may be interested in the process of rebuilding/turboing a inline 6. I put it in this part of the forum as I thought more people might notice it rather then in the build thread.
The short story turbo + stock engine = short life at about 190rwkw. This lead to the engine pressurizing the sump forcing oil back up into the catch can, into the turbo, then down into the intercooler and back into the engine causing some bad pinging. I assume you can all guess what the compression test was like after this. Over the next few weeks the engine will be getting a full rebuild. I am posting this up for anyone who is considering turboing their falcon just to see the process and how it’s all fitted. Luckily my brother is a mechanic/race driver and has done similar work before and is nice enough to help fix the car. So here is Day 1   Intercooler (might get a better one and trim that piping up) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/au2/day1t.1.jpg Engine Bay http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/au2/day1t.2.jpg Turbo http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/au2/day1t.3.jpg Engine http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/au2/day1t.5.jpg
