  1. I am not sure if this is the correct part of the Forum, if it isn't please let me know where to move it. With that out of the way. I have a 1993 Mustang coupe affectionately known as the Red Stallion! Unfortunately its a 4 cylinder car so its more like a pony. But I'm about to fix that. This will be a long build, so be patient. I will try to keep updating it as often as possible. Motor: NA BF Barra motor that will be getting a set of forged H-beam rods and forged pistons made by Manley. Along with a set of upgraded valve springs and ARP head and main studs. Of course a nice turbo hanging off the side. My goal is 800 hp, so I could use a recommendation on a turbo. Transmission: Just to get the car running as fast as possible I'll start with a T5 manual. But I'll be using a 4R70W 4-speed auto with an adapter plate to make it work with the Barra. In the future I'll be using the 6R80 6-speed transmission found in the 2012-2012 Mustang. Suspension: In the front I'll be using a tubular front suspension from UPR, we can legally use tubular front ends on the street here. In the rear I'll be using UPR adjustable upper and lower control arms with solid bushings. Out with the old 2.3 4-cylinder. I couldn't resist dropping it into place to see what its going to look like. I've already arranged to have a FG front sump oil pan sent to me. Front suspension I'll be using. I bought this suspension almost 2 years ago. Its been in the box in my shed waiting all this time. Rear suspension I'll be using. Subframe connectors.

  3. Hello all, finally got to start working on my newest project. A Barra 182, planning on fitting to a Toyota Chassis. I have heard tons about these motors from mostly YouTube videos (MCM, skid factory) so decided to go ahead and see about getting my self one. Its not the cool 242 motor, but if everything gets fitted correctly on this motor, One would be easy to swap over too. I currently am waiting for the head to come back from the machine shop. But have ordered most of the parts required to rebuild the motor, being it was shipped separated, as parts, and a little bit of damage occurred in the shipping process. Just a small nick, in the head but an easy fix, and should have it back by the end of next week. Ill figure out how to get some pictures posted here on the site, and stay updated once I get more stuff coming. If this needs to be moved to a build specific thread, can a Mod please do so, Thank you.

  4. Surely fixing up the blue one is cheaper than buying another car?

  10. Hi all, I have been watching and reading the forum with interest and it was enough for me to pull the trigger on a FG XR6T MkII. It was reading the posts that got me interested and ultimately over the line. As an older bloke, I remember when the Barra turbo hit the market. At the time, they were out of reach for a young man in his twenties. But thought I could recapture my youth in my mid forties So I am off to pickup the car tomorrow. I wanted a manual with low kms. I ended up finding a 2014 with the luxury pack in octane (orange) with about 12,000 kms on the clock. Very excited

  12. Oh yeah, I can definitely appreciate the humour in it. Just annoying, as the reason I was outside in the first place was coz I wanted to surprise the gf by cleaning and washing her car (I think for the first time in longer than we've been together), since I had it at home all day today as I arranged for it to be serviced this morning (for the first time in over 2 years). Was then hoping to spend the afternoon doing a uni assignment...which now hasn't happened as I'm waiting for a locksmith to come and fix the lock.

  15. Mostly cloudy day here in Perth and when the sun poked its head out I was getting up around 5kW...which is pretty great, considering it's September and cloudy AF and raining. Rest of the day it's sat around 2-3kW or so.

  17. haha yeah; the common adage around here is that a build will take 3x the expected budget and 2x the expected timeframe.

  18. Thanks! I finally finished my turbo V6 F150, and this is the next one on my list. Hopefully it will only take 6 months at most.

  20. Yeah, I know I'm a little late into the game, but had to chance to get my self one over here, and decided to run with it. Waiting on parts is a bummer. But what can you do. Mace performance from AU has been a huge help with ordering parts.

  22. Nah, replace the cat, as it'll need a tune to suit the higher flow requirements without one or with a higher flow one.

  23. I'm going to have a fun night! Time to start my electrical work. Probably won't drop it all in until warranty is over in a few weeks. Plan is to have a single Deutch connector at the firewall which handles everything. Am wiring oil pressure gauge, boost gauge, wideband, extra USB power for dashcam, thermo switch and fan for trans cooler (plus a light in the cabin to indicate fan status).
