I havent been on this site for a while and didn't get your notification
I trust you have read all my posts on both pages
If so you know what you have to do to get the vehicle you need for your purpose
If you dyno tested and your hoses were hot there is only 1 thing to do.....scrap the ...

Exhaust manifold ?? you mean inlet?
The boost sensor is on the inlet manifold.

Yes you are correct (drivers side)....unclip the harness, remove 2 nuts to lift a bracket up a bit so you can get a spanner to the 1 bolt
(10mm I think it was?) that holds down the sensor

A small black plastic thing ...

The maf reset has to be done by mazda or ford.

Thanks 01lux

I checked out the sensor and it had quite a bit of carbon on it but to be expected in the exhaust manifold I guess, and cleaned it up in a few seconds but didn't notice anything different, but thats ok..
contacted ford and they didn't ...

Very intresting as i work for mazda and have never really seen any dramas with the intercoolers.
There is a bullitin about auto bt50's with aftermarket bullbars causeing the transmission cooler to over heat due to insufficant air flow,you may have to speak to the dealer to find out more info.

As ...

Just returned from a trip to Mildura, did 984 kms on 120 liters of diesel since the installation of the larger intercooler. before the change over on the same trip I only got 749 kms on 122 liters of diesel. i have a 126 litre fuel tank.

Great news!

PK RANGERS AND MAZDA BT-50

A fellow rang me ...

I think it has to do with the 2009 (PK) Ranger model, I think that the intercooler may have been reduced in size or is in a different position. The Auto trans cooler is smaller than ones fitted to Suzuki's. I towed my caravan to Port Broughton and back and was using 25litres to the 100 km. so I'm ...

No mate just going off the details given to me by cross country 4x4 whom have done these tests before!

thanks mate for the ofter egr is the exhaust gas reticulation this adds at least 20-40 degrees to normal intake temp on my scangauge. I normally have around 80 to 105 intake temp with it on and with it disconnected lucky to go over 60 unless big long hill and towing. Only problem puts fault light ...

thanks mate I have disconnected the egr a couple of times and the power increase with lower intake temps can be felt just driving so I will be looking in to the intercooler upgrade for sure. $1300 was that for both autobox and intercooler price.

Does anyone else experience there auto not dropping ...

just wondering are you still getting good fuel usage around town the best I have got from my bt50 auto has been 11.92 (with my tools onboard to). when you also said the intercooler failed whats that mean.

I filled up today, the 1st since my holidays and fuel usage was 13.1 L per 100km for town ...

just a correction ! my old ranger is actually a 2000 rodeo v6 petrol

Also peter I don't understand how a snorkel would make much differance as the air intake is in the left guard and how will a bullbar change the airflow in this area? but if it helped you good stuff! but maybe its the chip that has ...

peter! interesting the snorkel has made a differance! my dad doesn't tend to have much trouble with his but he had a snorkel fitted when he bought his bt50

I asked him to feel his inlet hoses when he got to his destination last week and he said the hose was quiet warm but the other was hotter

So ...

Actually if you have or are experiancing the same problems that I talked about and your vehicle is genuine inc the genuine bull bar can you just drop me a note!, so I can get up the rep myself

if you are having power issues and bad fuel economy and your ute is not that old! you must read my forum as I might be able to help you fix your vehicle, as your dealer won't do anything that will be of use...
I gained a 40% improvement in power and 36% increase in torque and have the dyno charts to ...

actually if you have a larger intercooler then the genuine one it has to help, mine is 30,000 BTU

craig

yes I might be able to help with power issues and fuel usage.
look at my topic Ranger/bt50 power problems and fuel economy.

I joined this forum today to share my findings to hopefully help others out there who may be experiancing the same problems, and don't know what to do with lack of power and bad fuel economy.
