New TURBO Falcon...

[puckish]

Hello Twin Turbos, 24 valves, 4 litres, BIG FMIC and a after market ECU.

What airbox (Pod or cold air) and a 3 or 4 inch system.

Power is at the calling.. these things are going to be fast.

I have been told the BA ECU's are reprogramable using the Ford ECU computer thingy in the workshops. Much like the Gen 3 ones are in the Commodore.

I drove a XR6turbo sedan ( a press release car) about a month ago.I was very impressed with the instant power delivery & the general feel of the car to drive.Runs out of puff over 5 grand, but

felt much nicer to drive than the GenIII does.Drive by wire throttle control & a very nice interior + excellent power delivery =

one good setup.Martin has taken delivery of a new turbo ute & you can be sure he will test out the modification potential.It made 190rwkw stock!

I am going to wait a see what the new quad cam V8 is like to drive before I run out & trade in the SS ute!It will take a bit for me

to change camps for my hay hauler, but it seems that Ford are really taking it up to Holden now.Must say it's about time the V8s

came out of the dark ages & changed to 4 valve OHC.

Imagine a twin turbo conversion on the new 5.4L quad cam V8!

XR8 260kw - Pursuit ute 290kw - Turbo Pursuit ute ?kw

Hmmm. In the meantime I'll just enjoy the Skyline.

A few people have said this car makes 190-200rwkw stock, but its no faster than my 93 gtst tho (pod and cat back only mods). It might have massive potential but its massive weight is gonna keep it rather slow compared to the amount of power it produces.

its the opposite of pushrod, dinosaur engine!:lol:

Took one for a blast the other day and was impressed. Very nice feel and sound from motor (good revs compared to previous frod sixes) and good handling for factory car, if a bit sloppy/bouncy in the rear.

HEAPS of potential with GT3040 turbo (600-700HP!!! turbo that one guys!!!). Gearbox and drivetrain a worry for sure, not up to R33+ Skyline standard. Funnily enough I reckon the autos are stronger (Aussie gearbos as used in 280kW twin turbo V8 GT3200 Masseratis).

Has very big exhaust standard, looks like twin 2 1/4 inch. Just need bigger turbo dump, bigger FMIC, boost to 15psi and ECU tweak (Tilbrooks in Adelaide have the ECU tuning equipment for the Forrd ECUs) and you have 250-280rwkW easy!

Groan... if it has pushrods it must be a heap of crap eh? What an intelligent, enlightened viewpoint. In Japanase terms the RB series is a dinosaur, but I don't hear too many people putting it down. DOHC is nothing new, it's been around since the sixties.

As of yesterday, the top two Summernats Horsepower Heros entrants are running VH Commodores with twin turbo *gasp* pushrod engines. They're making 1190rwhp and 1206rwhp respectively. Not bad for an old boat anchor.

I saw a silver one the other night....

It had a poxy red and blue dash... Over all the car didnt look to bad.. Will be good when some modded examples start getting around... :burnout:
