eMPee

when u figure that out trough lolly, let me know

how quick is a gen3 monaro down the 1/4? as far as I know the few people that have dev3 kits run between 14-15 sec passes.......besides brendan who has run 13.8 once

sounded pretty sweet. well done

I was going through their site, and followed the link enquiring about their mail order exhaust kits. If they dont check their email its thier bad luck. Takes 5 mins to reply. Ended up being easier to drop into local exhaust shops as I passed them during my travels than chasing up someone down in Melbourne.......

Im looking for a change of career........any openings?

heffner do some crazy work

hehe its good to see more and more team NA dudes around now.

ahh good to see u hear mate. I had wondered how your beast was going

NA-06-XR, is that us daniel?

I sent an email to JMM about their mail order kits before I had my exhaust done. I didnt get a reply so hope they get back to u. just dont get your hopes up

I meant the shape and design. not the coating.

How come your pacy comps look different to NOS's? My advance look like NOS's just with a press bend not mandrel....

im not sure he's a member on here???? he hasnt been on the nizpro forums for a while either :S

Sorry NOS I dont have access to the autospeed website. I fished that from ford mods forum but there were no pics...... Also to answer your question ive been to 6500 maybe twice I think u should go toe to toe with mock, show them up buddy :D

nice

The article NOS posted was from autospeed. They did a follow up story and I will post it up for you. Not as promising but development none the less. I have to say ive had equal feedback good and bad about the mock crew...... The standard BA – BF Ford Falcon is a deceptively quick machine – but it’s nowhere near as quick as this! When the tacho needle passes 5500 rpm in the stock Falcon, the engine starts to run out of puff. But with the latest mods from Jim Mock Motorsport (JMM) you have plenty more rpm and kilowatts up your sleeve. The big DOHC six can roar to around 7000 rpm and hurtle you down the road with the speed approaching an XR6 Turbo. The team at JMM (Jim and Brendan Mock) has been playing around with big camshafts and a replacement intake manifold and the results are spectacular. Dyno testing has shown the modified atmo engine to deliver more power than the factory turbo engine! That’s more than 240kW at the flywheel. So let’s look at how it’s done. Stage One – Bolt-ons Click for larger image JMM are specialist Ford six-cylinder tuners and offer a range of bolt-on go-fast parts to suit the BA to BF atmo engine. Their DEV 3 kit comprises ‘Scavenger’ headers, a custom exhaust (comprising a 3 inch front section with a metallic cat converter and a 2½ inch mandrel bent system), modified air intake, different spark plugs and a flash-tuned ECU. (The retuned ECU replaces the previously employed interceptor.) These mods increase output from around 140 to 180kW at the wheels (in the case of a manual gearbox vehicle). See BA-LLISTIC for our full review of this popular upgrade. But extracting further power isn’t easy. Next Level Modification So what do you do to unlock even more performance from the Falcon six? Well, JMM has flow bench tested the standard Falcon DOHC head and come away very impressed. According to Brendan Mock, the BA head offers airflow potential for around 400 horsepower (298kW). So in a street application it’s hardly restrictive. Click for larger image On the other hand, the standard camshafts are relatively tame to ensure an acceptable combination of emissions, idle quality, smooth torque delivery and fuel consumption. JMM has fitted a pair of secret-spec development camshafts which are described as ‘mild’. The new camshafts operate with the factory dual VCT system and Brendan says its likely BF models (with independent dual VCT) will offer even greater power thanks to the ability to alter valve overlap. But the big camshafts are a compromise – they detract slightly from idle quality and bottom-end performance but deliver improved top-end power. At this point, Brendan highlights a limitation of the standard Ford engine. “When you rev a BA six to around 7000 rpm there’s a pretty good chance you’ll have an oil pump failure. The pump in our car blew and took out the timing cover. Click for larger image “We replaced it with a balanced and blueprinted pump using heavy-duty steel gears. We also fitted a Ross harmonic balancer - and we’ve had no worries since.” JMM has also elected to rebuild the engine using Ford E-Gas conrods and pistons for a 10:1 compression ratio. Brendan says this is about as high as you can go while running pump fuel. Next, Brendan decided to test an off-the-shelf aftermarket intake manifold. The factory dual-stage intake manifold is a proven performer – but can it be bettered? Click for larger image This particular aftermarket manifold is developed and sold by Croydon Racing Developments in Sydney. The product of around 12 months' development (which includes tests with different size plenum volumes), the manifold is primarily intended for big horsepower XR6 Turbo applications. The manifold employs CNC machined billet runners and a precision welded aluminium plenum chamber. Runner length is quite short (to aid high rpm operation) and each runner features a bell-mouth entry which is concealed in the plenum. The throttle body is also forward mounted. Click for larger image Brendan says the new manifold is dead easy to install – it’s a direct bolt-on using the standard Ford gasket. An extension loom is required to relocate the electronic throttle and Brendan has fitted a generic pod filter directly to the throttle body. A cold air induction system is yet to be fabricated. The new manifold is supplied with a replacement fuel rail which Brendan configured with standard BA injectors and a Malpassi pressure regulator to increase rail pressure to around 4 Bar (the same as used in the XR6 Turbo). The only other change is a custom mounting arrangement for the dipstick tube. Results Brendan is quick to point out that the camshafts fitted to their demo car are development jobs; they aren’t currently on the JMM product list. “We’re still doing some more work with camshafts but, on average, the cams we’re using will pick up about 10kW at the wheels [assuming the car already has suitable bolt-ons] . The idle is a bit ugly at the moment but we might change the cam profile and spend more time developing the tune,” he says. Price of the camshafts will be around AUD$490 each. And that sexy Croydon Racing Developments intake manifold? Click for larger image Well, once the big cams are fitted and the engine can breathe at high rpm, the manifold can deliver a further 30kW ATW gain. This brings total output up to around 220kW at the wheels – according to Brendan, about 10kW more than a standard XR6 Turbo manual. However, at the other end of the rev range, the engine loses a substantial amount of grunt and you need to wait until 4000-4500 rpm to overtake the performance of the standard manifold. Output then holds strong to about 6500 rpm and the rev limit is set just over 7000 rpm. The Croydon Racing Developments manifold retails for AUD$2850 and you’ll need to allow about AUD$900 for an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator, air filter and installation. JMM’s tuning costs are yet to be determined. In normal driving, the cam and manifold equipped BA Falcon sacrifices much of the effortlessness found in the standard car. The 4-litre capacity of the engine means it’s not slow, but it lacks the off-idle slog of the standard car. But from about 3500 rpm onwards the story changes. The engine starts to roar and can torque hard to near 7000 rpm. However, we reckon a shorter diff ratio would improve the overall package - the improved top-end power would be that much much more accessible in normal driving. Click for larger image Interestingly, the aluminium intake manifold also causes a raspy noise on cold start-ups – this appears to be an in-plenum resonance. The noise disappears when you hold your hand on the plenum chamber. Odd... And the verdict? The cam and manifold combo certainly delivers plenty of top-end performance. But we have reservations recommending it to anyone who drives the car in traffic every day; the trade-off in low rpm torque is very noticeable. Brendan answers this by revealing JMM is currently assessing the results of honing the standard dual-stage intake manifold. If a similar top-end gain can be achieved without sacrificing bottom-end, we reckon this would be an absolute ripper combo.

From memory, the guy that had the Nizpro works done to his NA, Daniel?, said it was a bitch to drive around town. I remember because I was thinking about doing the same thing and asked what they were like. It did give him a little more top end, but a low down sacrifice. (opposite to what I want) I dont know of any body else with a cam change or grind to the BA that I can ask.

Your car looks sh!t hot! I want it! Well done.

Yeah I have been thinking about doing something similar XR6NA. It took me over 2 years to find the ute I have. Im thinking about a career change and if I do, the ute could go.....for a T ute :D Realistically im not going to do anything about a new career so will see where im at in 2008.

I got a set for $20 where I had me wheels fitted.

try looking on tx3 forums. not sure of the exact addy but u should be able to google them and find easily. My brother found his that way. The older bubble models are cheaper but obviously the newer models were better. Gearboxes are pretty weak. But allround a nice zippy little car. let me know how u go with it

Whats the name and approx price of the cheaper throttle body?

Ok I took a couple of small vids. 1 from incar, the other I had my phone sitting ontop of the horn under the bonnet. I couldnt blast it for too long as my elderly neighbours came out after the first go You will need to change the file extension from .wav to .3gp incar.wav under_bonnet.wav

I think nizpro now use the T exhaust on the NA for their kits.

advance hp coated. not sure if I will keep them yet cause the press bends are ugly. was reccommended by 4 exhaust shops that's why I have them.
