800bhp Ford Falcon sleeper
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- A sleeper in every sense of the word. Radials were on for this shoot, but it usually rolls around on stockies! We take a look at the car, talk about it with the owner and enjoy the madness that 800bhp brings.
FAQ:
1. Why is it a sleeper, it has drag radials?
The wheels were on only for this shoot. 90% of the time it's on stock Falcon wheels - I show a picture in the video.
2. The audio is terrible, I can't hear him
Yup, I agree. I have since invested in better audio - subscribe and I'll promise you the videos are only going to get better!
3. Where is the burnout BOIIIIII?!
We are in Australia. WA specifically. Hoon laws are INSANE here. If you lose traction, even accidentally, you will lose your car for 28 days, and sometimes your license for 3 months. If the environment permits, future videos will have much fun - if we can do it safely. Sorry to be a fun sponge, but I'm not in the business of losing subscribers cars for them!
4. Where is the proof of 1/4 and hp/kw?
On many peoples phones, a print out - did we bring any of those to the shoot, no, do we need too? Hell no. You don't need to believe the figures, but that's what they are - they are easy to obtain in a Falcon pushing this number - #barratheworld

Epic video. Nothing like a drag taxi still running a heap of stock parts, just shows how bulletproof they are haha
Blows my mind! Had nothing like this in England, and here we have a casual 800 taking your kids to swimming lessons... bonkers!
a heap of stock parts... ahahaha its got a full built motor and a built gearbox... far from "stock"... EASY $25k in mods.... These cars are build like cheese, cant even make 340+ rwkw without major mods.
ASD, the built motor and gear box are for a 9sec pass. 10 sec pass can be done on just new valve springs only.
The XR6 Turbo's use the same diff as the XR8 and the GT falcons.
exactly... there diffs, driveline are all crap!
Love the headlining falling down - typical falcon!!! LOL
Couldn't possibly be an Australian Falcon if it wasn't :D
I thought they'd fixed this in the FG - I guess not. Wife's 2008 FG XR6 hasn't done it yet, so I'll expect it to start soon!!!
My utes headlining is getting done on Monday. It's just like XD - XF door handles guaranteed to fail. 😂
That Ford in Australia life haha
As an automotive upholsterer I can tell you with all certainty Fords are in no way the worst, vw/audi group and bmw take that crown. Even in saying that they're very easily recovered as opposed to 90's Holden commodore headliner board's needing complete replacement or recovering then bonding to the roof supports.
It's a FG xr6T, every second one makes 600+hp hardly a sleeper. Pull all the running gear and put it in a AU wagon for sleeper respect.
He has some plans for the engine later on, should be pretty sweet if he does it! 👌
👍🏻
I would give a comment saying loved the video etc.... but the fact that you had music playing over the video at almost the same volume as the guy talking when he was driving that’s a major thumbs down from me pal
I've come a long way since this video and audio is a lot better now with wireless mics and also better ability with audio work 🤙
Wow I'm from Perth and got recommended this randomly. What are the chances haha
Haha, TH-cam algorithm works in some strange ways 😂
Interesting, that's the concept that started mad max
SIck video dude, your channel is really good great to see a aussie channel, there aren't many out there. Keep it up man, I'll be watching.
Mantenner ayeeeeeee thanks man, appreciate that! Heaps more coming up, glad to have you onboard :)
Hosted by a pom lol
The world is a cruel, cruel place sometimes eh?
Yo bro ah lot of people luv 2 put FORD down. Yo cuz u prove them wrong.nniiccceee video, catch me if U can.. POWER BY FORD,,.1 luv respect...:🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Barra the world ahha, nice video
#barratheworld - best hashtag 😂
Nice car. Stock rims make it look good. Bet he's surprised a few people at the lights.
You can be rest assured he has haha.
Stock rims?
Just from the first 20sec, it looks tuff, id assume but it looks tuff 😎👍
Only problem with the Barra is that driving normally around town you are stuck with a shitty sounding straight six, like a Cressida with a broken muffler. Whereas a V8 makes a nice sound at any RPM or load.
ArchimedeanEye my daily is an R34 GTT skyline and I can agree with you the barra is not the best sounding inline 6
I suppose gargasoulless should have went with the barra, he didnt rip any skids. Could probably fit a trolley in the boot too as they dont have any down bourke street way
But that's what makes sleepers better. People at the lights are gonna hear nothing and think it's a standard XR6T, then once the light goes green, all hell breaks loose. Could always straight pipe if it's noise you want.
Nice video mate first time ive ever seen your stuff.
Definitely hitting the subscribe button.
Dont worry bout the haters posting stuff about no burnouts or not believing the figure, doing wjat you do on your channel its not really soemthing you want cops knocking on your door for.
Keep up the good work.
Ps i got a barra turbo in my nissan patrol.
It is a fully rebuilt forged engine with rods, billet oil pump gears, 1000cc injectors, crow cams, arp rod bolts and head studs, atomic chain kit, valve springs, walbro 460 in tank, front mount, upgraded wastegate spring and a few other goodies i cant remember.
Its all powered through a fully rebuilt fully manualised 1000hp rated re4 tranny.
For a patrol she seems to go very well ;)
Thanks man, super appreciate that!
Ah, you can't please everyone, it's all a bit of fun and bad or good comments, it's a comment ha.
That sounds ridiculous haha, something that needs to be on Ronny Dahls channel for sure!
Your nana wants her Barina front wheels back, pretty awesome project
Be the sickest Barina going with those front wheels! 😂
I've got a BA Falcon XR6T 300 rwkw's (about 400 hp at the wheels, pretty lame in falcon xr6t terms, but it goes!)
Haha, bet it's still awesome fun! What you done to get 300kw?
Bigger intercooler, 14 psi tune, hi flow cat, walbro pump, Bosch 42 pound injectors, it's also on liquid injection LPG with two tunes, about 500 hp at engine petrol and about 440 hp at engine on lpg
Very nice setup
Sure is! It's now over east and an awesome black colour as well 🤙🤙
Awesome video man, I'm local to this guy! Kwinana!
Keep them coming.
Ah awesome, welcome to the channel! :)
You'll recognise some future people & cars for sure then!
2:23 Still got the plastic on the Turbosmart boost gauge lol
Haha yeh, keeping it fresh 😂
This dude has so many Falcons
Damo Hyland I have 1. This is the only ford I've ever owned haha
Nothing sleepy about a block of cheese. Old mate not remember the 90's? Falconio's been chopping kents for years.
YEAH BRO BALDIVIS FINALLY MADE IT, #baldiboys
Haha, 6171 FO LYFE.
Hell yes! BARRATHEWORLD!!!
Haha, best hashtag!
Should have got a gtx3582r gen 2 im pushing 870bhp on e85 very similar mods, tuned by monsta taque though. Ill be down at the motor plex tomorrow night for the end of the season runs, you will see some really fast daily cars down there
Ah awesome, I have another video I'm doing tomorrow in the city so can't make both sadly, end of season will be awesome though, have fun man :)
J K what 1/4mile you ran?
@@russellcoight1718 1.552 60ft, 10.028 1320ft, let go at the 1000ft though
I Love E85, The Power gains are awesome, Very Humble guy. Nice car
Almost, almost free power, new lines, pump, tune, power. Indeed, super nice guy! :)
#barrage+#barratheworld
Great performance car review did it ever get out of 1st gear or more than 40mph ? Could have been driving a Corolla with commentary.
That pull I can assure you was far, far more then 40mph. We in Australia where speed limits are far more strict then England, and the speed we did was an easy lose the car for 29 days. If you want to risk your car and license, pop on over and let's see what you're car is made of ;)
How did you know Alex is in England?
stop saying the drag radials are on just for the shoot, it also needs them to be a sleeper without them it aint moving no where.
Indeed, but with them on it's not realllllly sleeper and have to explain that... Even though 99% of comments miss that anyway 😂
Just imagine how much better it would go with a decent tune and 6R80 trans combo!
Does anyone know if the Ford Falcon is similar to the Ford Fusion or the Mondeo, regarding the body and structure? I say that thinking in swapping this Barra engine and the manual transmission to another Ford sedan. Thanks for any information.
It was unique to Australia. Ford America refused to allow Ford Australia to do anything more than supply rear end architecture to the mustang, and the coyote was given to the xr8, GS and GT. They should have taken the deisel from Jag when they owned that, and added a decent turbo4. Finally, they should have looked at a v6 to keep it going, but emissions killed the Barra and ultimately the Falcon.
SLEEPER? Bro... 150-180 out the shop ain't no xr6t or sv6 ever been considered a sleeper they don't even look like sleeper, absolutely beautiful car very nice mods and did enjoy the vids too.
King Ragnar You know sleeper doesn't mean the car had to be a slow piece of shit to begin with. It just means the car is significantly faster than what you would assume. That fg with the snowflakes doesn't scream 800hp. It's a pretty nice sleeper in every essence of being a sleeper.
josh g6et understood! And agreed. I've built a few actually lol, twin turbo sv6 is my latest, shrunk some dohc heads on her, pushing my turbs through gas. 8.8 sec 1/4 mile, but typical Holden MANG till it Bangs so I have a few hiccups with the sidi system but got it sorted. Also doing some work on a Ford fiesta that should rocket too lol straight 6 barra with a 105mm turb is the plan. Then probly my girls Isuzu dmax is going to get a upgrade after that lol. Anyways I just understand how much potential they all have, hence why I couldn't call em sleepers.
King Ragnar Sounds mental dude. 105mm, you're gonna need to happy gas to get that off the line lol.
josh g6et LOL already reinforced the chas lol but yeah I'm thinking the same thing. We will find out hopefully end of the year.
I mean... it doesn't look like a sleeper when you've got drag radials/slicks dont you think?
I've answered this so, so many times 🤦
Not once in this video it gave me the impression it’s was 800bhp . That’s like 900-950hp at the flywheel
Ah yes, the good old reliable eye ball dyno, tried and tested 🤔
@@joydrive...Oh is that right my friend !!! Speaking of Dyno's do you have any figures handy ??
where are the skids???? nice vid bro
Ahh, breaking traction wasn't an issue, but filming it will give me an issue 😂 car + space to skid that won't get me/owner in super trouble = skid will be had.
Could've been the next youtube sensation on ACA or Today Tonight haha
Easiest way to 1k subscribers for sure 😂
John Coops it will get you in big trouble... Potential loss of licence and car impounded in Australia
I'm not not wanting to get a car that isn't mine impounded for some TH-cam makes me an idiot, but sure, let's roll with that for a second.
1. Yes, a "skid" will get you in trouble in Australia. You may be Australian as well, who knows, but I have had friends who have broken traction when leaving an intersection, didn't get sideways, lost the car for 28 days
2. It's not my car, nor my license, we go as hard as the owner/driver permits, and as I advise depending on the ability to identify roads and/or speed
3. Because it's not on video, doesn't mean it didn't happen
Yep, lots of xr6t sleepers out there, own 1 myself, mine ain't stock either....
100%, easy-ish power depending on your needs, readily available and an Australian icon pretty much, hard to go past them!
great video but seriously ease up on the instagram like filter.
Thanks bud! Colour grading is an ever evolving skill that I definitely haven't learnt yet, appreciate the feedback :)
joydrive love your response bro, so humbling. Respect
is it just me, but does anyone else roll their eyes when they hear ex cop car or ex chaser ?
yep
how are they sleepers?
They go into a garage and sleep lots at night
Biggest sleeper with drag radials 🙄
Yet in the description, and the video I say the wheels were on just for the shoot, but you knew that and wrote this comment anyway, right? 🕵️
No xr6t is a sleeper bro
Ah yes, I forgot they all come 800 horse from factory, my bad bad, will change the title now 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Why can't anyone doing not only this review but doz's of others not give the full tyre & wheel size?? Yep there 275/50...'s great but what rim size what rim width..?? Not hard people...
Noted for next time :)
Is that Perth with 2 'F"s?
Possibly 3
#barratheworld
800hp is pretty common in fg turbos
Indeed it is, and they are all pretty rad to have that
Not exactly common. Stock boxes and motors dont really like seeing 450+kw. Easy to get to there but then the expenses start adding up fast.
cool video! but i must say ANY car with those wheels instantly makes it a non sleeper lol. anyone in the car scene knows what them wheels and tyres mean.
Look, not wrong, but they only put on for this shoot ha, otherwise it ran stockies. 😎
@@joydrive still a mint ride. I just got my fg mk2 tuned to 370rwkw last week with a new 67mm turbo and runs factory suspension and wheels, doesn't even have gauges in it, oh and stock exhaust from the cat back. Love having it as a sleeper, keeps people questioning. Being my only car I don't want added attention. I wanted a white one just like in this video but damn they were hard to find or clapped out. Credit to the owner, mint ride.
Firstly I'm not saying that the owner of this Ford drives dangerously or illegally and seems like a responsible father and decent bloke..But here's my small rant about it..
I use to love all the street car scene, I had a 11sec manual V8 HQ some 20 yrs ago. Loved the technology advancements,the engineering and everything that goes with it,still do & will always be a motor racing fan, but please please not on the street & really what for, the ego governs our lives and people need to pause and think a little. Tragedy can strike the young in there prime..
1. Have a race car. NOT FOR THE STREET!!!!
2. Have a family car.
Where can you use this much power on the street?
Why do people feel the need to race on the (street-public road) putting other people's lives at risk let alone their own and their friends & families for the feeling of having so much power and bragging rights and get to the next set of lights first????
And how is it even possible that I can purchase a road legal 750hp Walkinshaw for THE STREET? Yes they are tested and approved but cmon FOR THE STREET.??? LUDICROUS!!!!
The result in the end, Governments forcing more restraining road laws, more (safety camera's, for speeding 3km/h over under the (making the roads safe for you (when they are supplying the weapon for us to speed) LUDICROUS!!!..etc. How can any sane society allow a young man this much power ON THE STREET. Where's the limit leaving a performance garage with 1,000 0r 2,000 hp Twin turbo V8's ON THE STREET, legally????
On the race track,Drag strip no worries I love it all, the sound, the history of Automobiles but NOT ON THE STREET??
the future is now old man
MrZillaman73 I have stock late model turbo falcon. It has nowhere the power of the one in this video. I haven’t had a an infringement in years but If I drove my car to its potential it would be very dangerous. No different to the top end of most brands. Even kia has a twin turbo stinger with 272kw. Considering V8 falcons and commodores in the mid 90s had about 100kw less power. Cars are quicker and fatalities are down since then.
It’s the driver not the car that causes deaths on the roads.
Can’t here him over the drone of the car
I'm with you, tried to improve audio but just couldn't get it right so had to leave as is. Audio is going to be my next upgrade with some wireless lav mics :)
Yeah this was the only thing that bugged me but understandable if you're still in the early stages of your channel.
"Stall convertor" 😉
JETFOURLITRE I don't get what you mean with the winky face and " " 🤔
2j at that power about 1/4 of the price #Barra the wallet!!
I don't know man, I love 2j's as much as the next guy but if you take into account what chassis you are buying into, if you have a r154 already or not, then if you are swapping the 2j into something that was designed to take it or not, I'm not actually sure it'd be any more economical.
Sure, have the engines side by side on the floor, make the same power and the price would be different.
I'd still prefer a 2j regardless... but don't tell the Barra guys 😂
Haha, thats not to say Barras are one stout motor Early days but I've Bought and modded a E36 with full HMWPU bushings Compete. Suspension and The ONLY (Guarantee this) Guy with a FORD (DANA) M86 rear end IRS in a E36 in Aus Full custom subframe and custom M86 shell (pumpkin/carrier) and importing a 2JZ-GE VVTi, then bolt-ons like GTX3584R t4 mani, injectors all the supporting mods and the AEM pnp v2, TCI Comp th400 with the hughs valvebody..... (must say though) the only labour cost was Axles and Propshaft, rest of the work done by me, costs less than buying and building a 800hp Barra Motor (Tune, prop and axles not included) You can check out my first startup vid on my channel, Its made 528RWKW for less than 11K Complete! 2Js are about 3-3.5K front cuts Auto of course, The Bimmer cost 900bux Clean as Fuck has had roof redone by me though, bolt ons were about 3k too, Simply put, If i spent the same as he did on his motor I'd have that magic and now very common 1000HP 2J EASY, yes this reply was rushed!
@@BUZDRIFT Its easily possible to make 800hp on an LPG motor, they are like 400 bucks. All you need is Oil Pump Gears Head Studs and Valve Springs. And saying building a Barra is expensive it isn't, its the best bang for buck bulk power inline six.
Why wouldn't ford sell these in the U.S.
I'd possibly blame Australia for that. They weren't the best at exporting these in general, to easy countries, let alone America :(
More to do with Ford USA probably. An insult to there Design section in the USA to sell anything not designed in the USA. The US Design Section had there jobs to protect. Also not good to have a Sports Sedan on the market that would eat most Mustangs.
The "Barra" also may not have met the Emission Standards in all States at all times. Australia follows European Emission standards. Sometimes a bit later than Europe. The USA at times adopts its own standards and gets ahead of others. I can seem too remember some years ago reading Ford Australia needed to spend about $23 million to bring the "Barra" up to the latest standards. They were looking for Government support or something saying it had big Export potential as the only straight six Ford anywhere in production.
Even if Detroit did not want the Australian Ford Falcon in the USA I would have though it would have been a good engine for Ford Pickups in the USA. Those who wanted something cheaper than a V8 or Diesel in an actual Work Vehicle without Turbo or with Turbo.
Being as bullet proof as it was it would have been a great low maintenance but gutsy work vehicle for Fleets etc.
That was its main quality. Well proven, cheap, bulletproof in all its forms.
Ask Ford head Office USA?
Classic politics!
The biggest sleeper on the entire planet...That’s insulting to car guys
If you're a genuine car guy, you'll take it on the chin and move on 😉
I’m a ford guy too but you cannot call that a sleeper, de-badged and modified sure but calling it a sleeper is a big stretch calling the biggest sleeper on the entire planet that’s just delusional...but good luck to ya
The wheels were put on for this shoot, otherwise it's a stock exterior Falcon, the literal definition of a sleeper?
In the world, nah, not at all, welcome to TH-cam, we say shit to build hype and for entertainment and sometimes people take it seriously 🤷♂️
Why does it have F6 rear seats ahaha
F6 seat swap, think it's mentioned by Walesy :)
naivay it's had a few seat swaps. I took the XR cloth seats out for some G6ET leather seats but then got over having leather seats, especially in summer. The f6 cloth seats came up cheap and for what I sold the leather seats for I basically paid $100 for the F6 ones. They're way more comfy too ☺
W4L3SY oh that’s way better :) are the F6 ones complete cloth, or are they like XR ones
The wheels pretty much make it a non sleeper.
Why don't u two get a room
Broken tooth Burt. Me and the Falcon? Not really into that
Mine ran 10.2 at 138mph too hahahha
XR6T + welds ≠ sleeper
It usually runs stockies, literally factory FG wheels, the welds were on for this shoot only, but then you'd know that if you watched the video ;)
Also they're centerline convo pros, not weld 😊
@@GMH_GTR what specs are the wheels and tyres bro?
#Barratheshit
cops cars probably hardly push 300kw you could outrun any police car in the world in that
Don't sound like 800hp or even go like 800
Yeh man, lied through my teeth just for the lols. Made the owner lie as well, you know, for shits and giggles 🤙🤙
you cant have a sleeper falcon. thats like being poor when you wear Gucci ,supreme ect.. not even manual very disappointing.
Do the pistons identify as male.
German word. Mah-luh or westernised pronounces would be mah-lee.
You what 😂
@@joydrive he said the pistons were male.
Just poking fun that he doesn’t know the name of the parts in his car.
shorten the videos and be more succinct
Thanks for watching, appreciate your opinion but any shorter and it'd be rushed. Succinct I agree for myself, but when it's someone else's car and they are driving, they have a story to tell so I'll let them tell it :)
Not a sleeper, look at the wheels. Clickbait video.
Fucking hell, how many times. I put a picture up of how the car is ALWAYS. The wheels were put on for this shoot so we could get traction, well, some of it, and experience the power better. I say that in the video, and in the description, it's not click bait at all 👌
What a poo banger
Holden fan stututupooo
It makes my standard fg xr6t from sleeper to woke 😒😂😂
What power you running?
joydrive totally stock mate. Last of 2014 FG 2 as daily drive and regular drives in outback qld/nsw.
Fucken good cars stock man, reason it and the Commodore were best sellers for so damn long!
Get rid of it. Bogan mobiles are cancer.
800hp cancer is still 800hp, but heh ho, sure your car is better, right? ;)
Ls still better
Sorry, but those wheels on an FG, look like total shit...just sayin..
Chill bill, chill.
Sorry, had to 😂
Each to their own! Wheels were purposeful here though, traction when not on street wheels ha.
lol auto
70% of Australian cars are. They are also faster down the strip, what this car is built for. I'm a manual/stick driver through and through, but auto is best for these kinds of cars
You clearly aren't from Australia, or you wouldn't have written that comment haha
Only slow car people make fun of autos. Have fun in your lancer.
josh g6et 👌🏽😆😆😆
Lol typical roof sagging 😤
Wouldn't be an Australian Falcon without it 😂
