    Faaaaarrrrrrrkin awesome!!!!!!!! You scored an EB Fairmont with ED XR front end and manual!!!!! Fairmont in manual is unheard of! I'm a bit like you - got a bugeye WRX STi that has more spent on the engine than it's worth and I flatly refuse to park it in a supermarket carpark due to the original, low-km body/paint. Got a daily EB Grand Luxury injected model (GLi-LOL) with genuine 130,000km on the odo after buying from the original owner's grandson. My second-ever car as a younger bloke was an ED XR6 manual and I'll always have a real soft spot for those cars.
    Love your work and I've subscribed.
    EDIT: Most EA 3.9s were also multi-point injection, very few were the povvo-pack carb injection.
    I'm in the process of piecing together a SOHC turbo setup as well, using leftover bits from my FGX G6ET. TI Automotive are deadset champions, massive SOHC fans, and can help you out with anything you're after. Jason is da man. ;)

    White is also 1 of the most dullest boring common shades too lol. Yes it probably does hold it's paint conditions better but if you keep them garaged when you can, you can prevent some of it happening. Great video! Nice EB!👌

    Standard eb2/ed 4.0l sohc mpi had 148kw engine, 348nm torque. The Extractors & 5spd manual definitely help it move better. The xr6 ran a 3:45lsd.
    My old EF Fairmont ghia Auto ran 15.9 1/4 Mile back in 2008 with Pacys, 2.5 system, highflow cat, 3:45lsd, and no airfilter for the run. Great fun.

    EA and EB first series Falcon had single point injection with full multi port injection an option I think, with both the EA and EB Fairmont Ghia having multi port injection standard.
    The EB 2 came wIth MPI standard across the range.
    One cab operator said he preferred single point injection for converting to LPG. He said it was better suited and was peeved Ford made multi port standard.

    • @maxgal
      @maxgal  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      So I’ve heard regarding lpg.
      I definitely went for the multi point there a much better power and fuel % plus easier to tune for a turbo

    Multi point injection as oppose to centre point injection which came out in the EAs. EAs were 1 of the worst cars ford ever built. I had a stock standard EB falcon and originally it was an automatic but I converted it to manual. The auto was pretty good and still went quite hard but doing the manual conversion definitely made the car. I lowered it 2" all round and fitted a full 2.5" Exhaust system with Genie Extractors and it sounded mint. Livened it right up! It was awesome on fuel and was very Torquey. Good luck with the car buddy!👍

I had a red EA S pack with T5 manual and it ran a 15.5 second down the quarter mile but that was back in year 2OOO when they weren't that old. It was fun to drive as my first car.
