    Hey does anyone know if it’s possible to get a 6 boost manifold in the factory turbo position with a 50ml wastegate port or if you would have to go off the rearhousing? 

    Check out these guys they do both short and long runner they have all been tested well by now

     

    The Fabricators Warehouse FB page just start scrolling down

  2. The cams are the same in all the barra's (ie turbo/na) and work well for lots of power. A lot of the issues with the falcon are weight orientated so you will likely get a nicer car to drive with a lighter chassis and most of those issues I brought up will not be as bad.

     

    You just have to keep an eye out everywhere for some cheaper prices on parts they do come up.

  3. I am putting this on hold for a while as Dominator Australia are bringing out a hardware and software conversion in the future, I don't know when but its still happening. The software will be the big bonus as its a large outlay for the HTU gear which isn't a plug n play

  4. The turbo barra in a BA BF FG falcon is not a drivers car. It can be made to perform decently but not well. It is a straight line car at the end of the day and at best a tourer. Its always laggy with a single, its never power on the foot like an NA etc. Its always a best guess throttle input scenario for the conditions. Its not like a race car which is extremely predictable and has no issues with input at the limit of grip (sideways etc). But saying that on the road, tuned etc it can easily be faster than a M5 but not as fun to drive would be my bet from a driving perspective not power and speed.

  5. Hey keithy you know those brake pads are for people who drive fast don't you haha. Once they bed in nice you will be real happy at how they slow or stop at speed. You can also get some spacers for ride height front or rear if it's not sitting where you want it, they handle a lot better as well with the rear slightly lower than the front.

  6. You could wind it down a bit with their other option spring.  80psi @ 4000rpm is pretty high warm. You should be looking at 80psi around 7-8000 rpm. Those pumps are not going to fail but high oil pressure can cause other issues, its hard to know what's happening though. Give them a call see what they think. 

  7. I'm putting one in, in 6 months. Have all the parts sorted, biggest cost is standalone GCU. There is a mob in England already doing the conversion plate for the barra. Will need base maps and tuning some is supplied. Main wiring harness is supplied. I will be using the ZF8HP75 rated to 750nm but apparently these things are very strong and will handle much more stock and have a larger and stronger input shaft. Cost is just under 5k if you can do most of it. Which is cheaper than a zf6 re build these days. The boxes are identical in dimensions.
