Simply great review, everything I need to know, thank you.

@motoringbox I've recently bought some goodies for my Xr6 turbo (haltech and bigger fuel pump and injectors) and am wondering how to load a Base tune onto the haltech plug and play so i can drive it to a dyno tuner, thanks

replace your trans fluid every 50 - 60K or you will end up replacing the transmission. as the factory(ford) never services the transmission.

Love the AU, I have three other cars, a Y62 Patrol, Nissan Navara and a Hyundai I30, all modern, then I have a AU Fairmont. The AU has only 40k on the clock but although I don’t often drive it I so look forward to it. It’s so comfortable and beats all our other cars hands down although they range in sizes and functionality.

Head gasket problems from poor head stud pattern on the 3.9ltr, self levelling suspension issues constantly, weak as @iss gearbox. Window winders always fail, Bumper clips fail and bumpers sag. Comfy car when running properly though.

I’ve still got a factory untouched vt commodore ss s2 the engine has done 172000ks I drive it every day and I’ve never had a engine problem except for the oil pressure switch giving faulty readings but apart from that it has a slight knock on cold starts because the oil is too thin and that’s my mistake not the cars

There’s no way in the world a berlina is more luxurious than a 2000 VT SS 2000 S2

Next upgrade for this should be billet oil pump gears and backing plate, because the oil pump gears are known to fail on the ba-bf Also great video

Mate, ford territory parts are heaps cheap because every territory needs parts.

I recently got a 2007 SY territory with 300,000kms in immaculate condition for free with 10 months rego. Best thing ever. Super comfy, looks good, feels good to drive. Beautiful.

I only found out about these 5 years ago in a Carsales ad. And I’m scrolling through photos, and saw one. And I scrolled. Scrolled back, cocked my head tot he side and said. “Is that a phone holder. In a BA LTD”. It was! I recently got one for my territory. Drilled up the top, screwed and double sided taped a quad lock charging head, and case, done! Perfect height.

My 2012 Territory TX has under 100,000ks but more body damage.... Diesel RWD and it seems the trims all get different upholstery, the TX seats look a bit more sporty, btw how can the headliner be fixed for low cost, i have the same issue here.

i would rather have big jack than big mac. It’s just better!

What tyres are you running on your XR mate and how do you find them performance wise?

Toyota highlander

Great job😅

TIL it drops below 5 degrees in QLD. As a Kiwi I assumed it was 30-40 degrees year round 💀

You must have had the Bullshit Filter on your GoPro turned on...😂 Seriously though, well done on solving those issues!!!👌

All I know is that if the laptop screen says “DANGER TO MANIFOLD” and then a part of your floor pan falls off and starts throwing sparks everywhere you’re in the shit!

Would have taken Hoff about 2 hours to fix all this for you.

I would recommend regap your plugs to 0.7mm if your running over 300rwkw~ 16psi. Or AGSP22YE07. Pregapped ford iridiums denoted by the 07. The sooting maybe has to do with the plug type if your running other than iridiums an too tall a gap you will get unburnt fuel on idle if the plug is not cold enough? Correct me if im wrong here lol

is Haltech the only solution or option in australia? lol

Also you can save the Tune and work on another that you can play around with and if you ever think you have messed it up you can just revert back. The short term trims you can add back to the base map, once a week/month when ever you want and over time it will need less.

Closed loop boost control - this is where you set a target boost pressure and the ECU will constantly try to hit that boost level. You can adjust multiple parameters around how fast and aggressive the control logic reacts (PID control). Set it up to react too aggressively and you will end up with it hunting, i.e. it will cycle between overshoot, undershoot, overshoot. You can also go too far the other way and have it too slow to react, causing it to overboost. Changing the turbo like you have will 100% change how this should be setup, but it couldn't have been tuned correctly before with the stock flapper anyway. The Base Duty Cycle numbers you changed are the starting point for the boost control. When the ECU decides it should be controlling boost, it will start with whats in that table and use the closed loop logic to adjust that number from there. If The Hoff is still willing to help out, it might be best getring his help with getting this tuned right, PID control is a pain to work with. I can give you a basic run down on what to do if you really want to have a crack

barra turbo fpr and map bolt into au gear

Can that haltec run the trans directly or do u get the factory ecu to do it

One of the reasons for issues when you open up the throttle on a manifold injected engine is there is a small pooling of fuel at the bottom of the runner in the head that collects some of the fuel passing through and then will displace some fuel from the pool because it cannot sustain a larger size under vacuum or boost. This means you need slightly more fuel initially than the engine requires to accelerate but then also enriches the fuel mixture in larger than ideal droplets after the initial throttle input. So it can take quite a bit of work to get a nice crisp throttle.

Do you have to put lock tight on the intake bolts?

Still can't believe you thought you needed a haltec. Please don't ever say you don't have much money when you basically threw it away. More hassle than it's worth at the level of performance you are getting.

You made a good decision there . I love my Territory. Also you'll notice there's not a lot of videoes about Territories on UA-cam.

Very knowledgeable video man, good to watch. Sent you a msg via fb 👍

Love the mighty au.

Why did you go for the haltech as aposed to a stock ECU with PCMTEC?

Awesome to see the BA back. After got mine tuned 3 days later it was running rough and sounded like it was going to die. All it was was lose exhaust manifold bolts mind you I got quoted 3k to fix it. Took me 45 minutes and realized i need all new studs and gaskets will be doing it myself going forward. Inflation has caused a rort imo. When you pay a tuner to sort boost spikes lose a grand and still have a boost spike? Blokes like Shaun on youtube and a few spanners can save you thousands. Brownies Garage Fullboost MaxxPerformance also great for blokes at home on a budget who are tired of being robbed or want to learn.

"the poor man pays twice" I'm still learning that lesson lol

I forgot you have a BA. Nice to see it again. Hope that since Mark Bevan sold Haltech to Race Winning Brands USA (a portfolio company of MiddleGround Capital) they continue to support now ancient Au passion.

BTR support in now?

i'm gonna have to look out for you on the motorway, this things gonna chop everything

How much are you going to sell her for

Best thing I put into my RZ supra, it just modernises the car so much with such a relatively small change. The company that tuned the car were hopeless so i ended up learning how to tune it myself. It's so much easier compared to 20 years ago and quite forgiving

You lucky thing Sean (much of it self made luck BTW). What I like about this is it keeps these cars relevant after their birthplace has gone. You have my personal blessings to force induct the Fairmont Ghia and fit this Haltech gizmo as well. Look forward to it.

It's great to see tutorials regarding the technicalities of tuning. It'll pay itself off when you tinker with it yourself rather than spending $$$ for an external tuner. It's great to see Aussie products that are looking after Aussie cars

Honestly sounds like you've had some pretty hard luck between the bodywork with the magna and the bad tune on this ba. Hope you have better luck in the future, bro. Love the vids.

I recently bought a ba xr6 ute as a run around, 300,000km and pretty rough cosmetic wise. Even though its a N/A barra with a btr, for what it is its a fun car to drive and is somehow great on fuel. im very tempted to part it out and put the barra, wiring harness and ecu into my NL Fairlane and rebuild the motor to suit a turbo and run a haltech. only problem is my best mate would kill me if i swapped the sohc for a barra 😂

When I had my LS tuned I left it with my tuner for a couple of days so he could do stuff like this. My engine was fairly stock other than exhaust and intake but it held its own against many cars so I was very happy with how he tuned it

Haltech is American owned now. Just Australia based.

I tried this it did not work and took pool noodle out and now I'm left with a bigger gap

I'm surprised haltech don't supply a good base map for it that does a basic cold start given how much they cost and most barras keep stock cams.

Great to see the BA back on channel mate! 🙂

Thanks for the video,good to hear you are happy with the tune on your ba.😀
