Hi all take it easy on me as its my first time on here haha,

We are putting an fg typhoon engine into a patrol for the purpose of dirt drags and well just an offroad weapon.

Been out of the loop for a long while as we have been playing with diesel power but what I am chasing info on is will the fg typhoon engine make it into the 400s reliably with just bolt ons?

Been researching for a few weeks and its seems do-able but just wanting to make sure.

Cheers for any info.

On e85 or similar I would not be worried. Also prob do oil pump gears, and valve springs to up the reliability a little

If your intentions are to only race this engine I would build it for reliability no question

400rwkw is old news on stock engines but not many ONLY see abuse its usually a mix of drag/ drive to work that's when u can pull it off without to much worry

The FG F6's aren't a 'typhoon' motor either. The typhoon name was dropped when the FG series was released. I'm not having a dig either, just thought I'd let you know for future reference.

Good luck with the build and be sure to post plenty of photos when the ball gets rolling

So which is the best engine to start with? I will admit I have limited knowledge of these new falcon engines. I know patrols inside out but let's face it there engines are dinosaurs.

I agree with Butt Plug, 400kw is not really an issue on a street motor because it's not often you'll actually see that amount of load.

The duty cycle is considerably different between a race engine and a street engine.

Yeah and big tyres and diffs in a heavy car to start with living on the limiter. These are my concerns.

Well get a good set of rods and a set of pump gears and u are on the right track the rest is not needed unless your goal goes from 400rwkw to 500rwkw imho

A fg short will go u 3k from ford

Rods $900 pump gears $900 so for ballpark 5k u can have a donk that will take 400rwkw on e85 quite well ;)
