FTO AUSTRALIA

i have heard i can rape magnas for parts... can anyone add to this list, or IS this the entirety of magna models i can strip?

throttle body.. te-tw magna 6g72/74

brake calipers: .. ?

shock absorber mounts?

any other parts? im interested to see (: search didnt help for shock absorber mounts

TB fits
Top mounts I read fit
Brake calipers, most are single pot so it would be a downgrade I think

I think maybe the knuckles fit allowing easy Evo Brembos to be fitted but no confirmation of this

Did anyone ever confirm weather the throttle bottle is actually safe ?
I did the search, and there some talk of it running rich etc and could cause damage. .?

Yeah runs heaps rich down low. On idle mine was like 17:1 A/Fs. Had to rejig my maps a bit. Up high it was ok, but I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't have an adjustable ECU.

How big is the TB

So it's not the sorta thing I should do if I don't know what I'm doing apart from bolting straight and getting a small power gain?

So best bet is to do the throttle body upgrade at the same time as installing a haltech etc..

Interdasting...

65mm

Correct. Plus there's a bucketload of grinding to be done to the intake manifold to match it to 65mm as well.

You could also do it at the same time you put your engine back together

so.. back to interchangeable parts?

i was already aware of the Throttle body!

derailment everywhere!

What did you expect?
It's FTOAU after all!

I think The magna has the same stud pattern, so should be able to fit some magna stockies on your fto

Thats what I was going to do but an ECU upgrade/tune wont be done for a little while after its back together and I dont want it running like sh*t until then.

Bennoz did you ever install a Magna TB on an FTO plenum or just the 6A13?
I remember RPW was saying that the FTO plenum needed additional metal welded on before grinding. Any truth to this?

Just the 6A13. Shane001 did one to an FTO plenum on his racecar, all it needed was the mouth ground out, same as mine.

Sorry

Brake calipers are different, but the disc rotors on the 3rd gens are the same as GPX (276mm)

Shocks are different, top mounts are same as FTO.

I'm pretty sure some of the engine mounts are similar too, but would have to go look at one to confirm.

Some of the interior is the same, the Verada has the same climate control head unit as FTO (non VR), Indicator assembly is also similar.

I've used the little switch cover for the headlights stalk from a Magna as the markings had faded

where is my like button ..

im just gonna randomly like one of your facebook comments ben, its for this response.. remember that when it happens...

I have a 65mm Magna throttle body and a ground out FTO plenum..............sitting in my garage for use one day...........got it off of Akys...........Hmmmm, still need to give you $20 moar Akys, maybe next bonfie, if you show.

done on mine even pre turbo just matched plenum inlet to suit easy mod had to fiddle bit with new TB as in just swap over water lines. even TPS is same, although could adjust A/F ratios too and does run rich at idle without ability to do so

Oh yeah, I forgot about the water lines. I just swapped the whole cooling housing over from the original TB.
