Tranny cooler should be the first mod any owner does or bye bye transmission at around 100-150k mark. The taxi drivers in Sydney were hell bent on keeping up with diff oil changes every 80k they told me.
Absolute first mod for a barra turbo is a preventative one. Turbo oil line's with inline filter. Leaving the stock one in is a ticking time bomb and will destroy your turbo once the factory gauze filter clogs up.
Not bad vid for a young fella good job. I was a V8 man for a long time. Then I picked up a FG series 2 Xr6t with 10k on it. I’ve had it for 4 years got 34 k on it now. And can’t imagine what to replace it with.
Delete blow off valve and force pressure backwards through turbo causing impeller to shudder there is your flutter.. Till it says no more don't be tight by a descent blow off valve allows turbo to keep spinning while letting excess boost out not causing back pressure to stall the turbo.
First thing I’m doing once I end up buying an f6 is buying a full spool rod and piston rebuild kit, gonna build from the inside out so old Rodney doesn’t go knock knock bang once all the bolt ons go on
If you’re ok with spending the money and are planning to go BIG, that’s a good plan. If you only want a extra hundred hp or so, dw about it, they are tough motors.
@@coadmanktm you only need valve springs when you need them, if your not getting any valve float then there is no need. The ba valve springs are pretty weak but bf-fg can get better power on stock springs.
Rear falcon rotors are same size from ba onwards. Also all rear single pot calipers use the same pads aswell. I have fg g6et discs all round and calipers on the front to suit turbo rotors on my BF wagon. Only difference between pre FG and FG is the front break lines need to be swapped to the B series ones or switch the FG lines right to left and left to right as the steel bend is facing the wrong way due to diffetent placement on the front side of the rotor) Rear calliper mounts are the standard bf wagon ones. Pbr upgrades that come with 4 pot brembos and territory rears are the only ones larger other than 4 pot brembo rears.
Compressor surge sounds horrible IMO. I would be more inclined to run a BOV. Even though I didn't on my MR2. (Budget problems and living two doors from a Police station) Brett from Go Fast Bits would be a good person to talk to... Me personally, If I had to pick just five mods they would be: 1. Valve springs. 2. Injectors. 3. ECU. 4. Fuel pump. 5. Intercooler. I'm glad that I'm not limited to just five mods. But if I were. Those would be it I guess.
I must be the only one who doesn't like the turbo-side intake and went back to the stock air-box. I find the turbo side intake very noisy and makes the car feel unrefined. Fun for the first week and then all the excessive noise gets annoying.
Turbo side intake does not make much difference at moderate boost levels and conservative levels of tune. Start pushing things near the limits of the turbos efficiency on the compressor maps and minimising the pre-turbo vacuum gets important.
I'm still out on the blocking off the bov, that's some serious extra pressure the turbos gotta deal with when u get off it.. might sound cool but surly it's fking it in the long run🤔
Auto is faster, but MANuals gives a better feeling, more control, more reliable, cheaper and are just more fun in general. Plus, you can’t clutch kick a auto.
Hey mate just asking I’ve got a fg 2010 6 speed manual that needs a bellhousing but I also have a ford fg 2009 automatic, just asking can my auto bellhousing go on my manual fg?
Valve springs,intercooler,exhaust,fuel pump,intake,flapper mod,trans cooler,wastegate and oil feed filter I never could count and best to run a bov not good for the turbo without it
Wow! You seem so stoked! Nice car! oh to be young again. I learnt a long time ago mods devalue your car big time. It is good for the performance shop and good for the next buyer down the line who gets an absolute bargain. Albeit turbos wear things out fast. Baby it. Thank you on behalf of the next buyer or you could keep it going for 25 years and recoup what you have put into it. Keep all the original bits for that day you do sell it. Don't be fooled by greener pastures. It is worth keeping it a very long time. Great job. Next time buy the car that has all the performance specs you want in it already as standard and save you some money, meanwhile enjoy the fun of it and get it out of your system. Hahaha
No bov that’s great for trying to turn the turbo backwards and no valve springs upgrade great for high revs and must be a really happy dyno has it shit the bed yet
Hi Zac how do you find the brakes after the upgrade? Is it worth the money or if you did it again would you just go the brembo kit? I'm looking at 6 pot brembo but am having trouble justifying the price atm
I got a 1965 ford falcon with 200 inline 6 with header and 0.80 pistons the biggest pistons for a 6 cylinder the pistons are bigger then a 8 cylinder stock pistons.
Considering the 200 ford has a bore size of 3.680" and the falcon v8s had a bore size of 4" i don' t think there would be enough distance between the bores to fit sleeves to take pistons that big and you would have to fit sleeves as there would be no cyl wall left after boring that much out. 0.80 isn't even a size really the old falcons were imperial and 060" was the largest size but 080" may be available making a bore size of 3.760" way less than the 4" bore of the v8s.
Hey mate, I've heard some people say you need a tune after the turbo side intake kit. Have you heard anything about this? Or does the stock ECU adjust well?
dav386 any car would run a lot better with a custom tune, most factory tunes are trash but for just a turbo side intake you don’t need to get it retuned
If I got a falcon I'd upgrade the rear cradle to fix all the flogged bushes, (drops out really easily), and then start getting rid of as much ford plastic as possible from under the bonnet.
@@notax1872 Yep, pretty much the first thing every falcon needs. :) It's good when you know a little bit about them before buying so you can fix the factory weaknesses. Oh and new rotors all around too, the stock ones are usually warped.
I have the process west street intake which is not turbo side and still crosses over the motor and the car is making over 500rwkw so the turbo side is not essential I don't think unless you are going for massive power.
Yeah, we love him, coz he ain't a dick. But Zac really is very new to performance cars. He gets a lot of things wrong. Just hope people who know less than him don't take everything he says as gospel. Turbo side intake is just a tidy up for sound and more room under the bonnet, that's it.
12345 6789 yes it is necessary 😂 it eliminates heat soak from the engine cross over, engines do not like the heat, especially in Australia during summer
@@goldberg7995 mate im just going off what they guy said up there "Turbo side intake is just a tidy up for sound and more room under the bonnet, that's it" doesn't sound too important to me but if its needed then ill go for it
12345 6789 it’s not ‘needed’ but it definitely helps, yes it does make the bay look a lot cleaner but it also help the engine from copping all the hot air from going across the engine
Must do mod on these cars is intercooler piping. Car is literally useless if the factory pipes split... Which they do on anything more than stock boost.
Clean for 190km on the clock.. like your honestly, upgrade the suspension, rattles your tail bone. Also great that for an AUTO you dont promote the "drone". The air intake, does this meet roadworthy or needs engineering certification for a pinch more performance?
I've got an fg n/a and ive gotten my centre muffler straight piped and then rear muffler hot dogged, sounds sick like a v8 with grunt and rumble, also use as a daily
ive got 3.5" tips, and im pre sure its just had the center muffler changed to a hotdog, isnt extremely loud but its satisfying when you put your foot down haha. could also make your car run rough as fuck for more crackle and pops lol jks dont do that pls haha
Some people prefer to keep these cars stock, and they are the type of car imo to hold better value when left stock, maybe a couple wee mods but nothing over the top
Do you have a full engine modlist on your car? I'm struggling on deciding between an FG XR8 or turbski. Manual of course, Is your power reliable? Cheers mate!
From the top of my head he has a k&n intake relocated to be a turboside intake, plasmaman intercooler rated for 700hp, painted valve cover and I think that is it apart from the tune.
The power difference is like 10-20kw more for the xr8s than the turbos, but honestly you will fall in love with the xr6 turbos. I have a BA one and I wasn’t much of a turbo guy and only got it because it was an absolute steal, and I bloody love the thing and all for turbos now. They make such epic noises and better to Mod as well. Defs get an xr6 turbo!
@@tassiedingo yes what you are saying is correct under load with the hot air going backwards through the turbo and being compressed again and increasing the temperature higher each time it dose that. next time don't say spud. the comment was made for referance of the sound.
VibranceVFX you’re the one asking someone why their video is in their recommendations cob.. it’s a TH-cam algorithm. Clearly you were searching up other car videos or watched a falcon video and TH-cam suggested it. It’s not like the guy who made this video hacked your account and made it come up 😂
Things I'd do to an xr6t fg 1. Upgrade the icc to a kayhan android auto system 2. Wrap the bonnet, roof, and boot in black, I'd think that would look sick on your car 3. Upgrade the turbo for power 4. Tune to make 600hp 5. Xforce performance exhaust
quick question - why do you always talk about your cars power in horsepower? We normally measure power in KW in australia. Horsepower is imperial and every time someone says how much HP they have, i have no idea what that is in KW unless i google a conversion. My fg makes 354KW with similar mods to yours. A tune and basic supporting mods definitely turns these into a whole different monster!
@@jerryking7772 yea i know roughly the conversion but i was puzzled as to why an australian dude, making videos about his australian built car would be measuring his power in american imperial numbers. Couldn't possibly be to inflate the numbers so it sounds better? We use KW, not horsepower. Killometers, not miles. Metric, not imperial etc. Im not trying to be a jerk, its just a personal peev of mine.
@@richo1333 There are plenty of us old school guys still around that talk in horsepower and imperial sizes plus we know both. For eg i was in primary school when metric first came in and so when i entered the workforce as an apprentice engine reconditioner everything was still measured in imperial and it literally took decades for metric to completely take over as a lot of engines retained their imperial sizes even with bolts. I remember some fords had a mixture of imperial and metric bolts what a shambles that was.
Hey bro , most of us on TH-cam started watching you with your n/a xr6 fg falcon journey which we all loved , so now your baging n/a fg falcons , come on bro I love my n/a xr6 falcon , personally I think that n/a barras sound better than the turbo wind up toys that sound shit , just my opinion , , best not to shit on your original bread and butter .😉
You never remove the blow off valve if you do this will damage the turbo due to pressure surge when you shut the throttle the pressure has no where to go so it back purges into the compressor wheel this damages the compressor the shaft bearings/bushs and the seals only an idiot would do this
@@ir0nal3x97 it has not been disproven if it had no turbo manufacturer would use them blow off valves are there to relieve the damaging back pressure to the compressor wheel this damages the turbine blades and shaft I've used turbos since 1987 & damaged many due to back pressure
Let's face it the first MOD is useless and you've only done it for noise. The air enters the turbo and is instantly heated up by the turbos own heat hence why you run an intercooler. MOD 2 is also useless and is only done for the noise. MOD 3 is the first useful MOD worth doing that you've mentioned. MOD 4 is spot on but it should be done after you've got good tyres put on or just before you put good tyres on. Good suspension will quickly show you how crap your tyres are and vice versa. MOD 5 is also good. First MODs should be wheels and tyres, followed by suspension and brakes. With a good foundation you can then add power. Start with an exhaust and better intake including intercooler. Once that's done get a tune. Most will be happy with that. If you want more power then go with better valve springs, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump and then get it tuned again. If you still want more then you need to look at getting better manifolds or a bolt on plenum. You'll get better flow, faster spool and if you've done everything right you will be ready for a larger turbo if you are still wanting more power than you can handle.
I'm sorry but u clearly have no idea what what u are talking about. Anyone who wants to own a fg turbo falcon should , n.1 delete the faulty heat exchanger that is very prone to fail and pump water into the trans, so setup a aftermarket cooler . N.2 the 6 hp26 are not strong enough for the turbo engine and very common in snapping the input shaft . Anyways there is a lot mods that have to be done to these vehicles before u would even think of stupid exhaust mods and so on
Hi Zac luv ya channel and thanks I got a discount from Mitchell at Mackielec he's awsome great bloke I get all my work done through him also got my cold side intake and battery relocation also got intercooler pipe replacement kit and he just did my suspension lowered looks mint and drives awsome just saving for a tune he's taking my FG to XR6 Developments can't wait 👍🏻
Lemme explain it simply:
*Turbo side intake for StU StU*
*Exhaust for WoOoSh pOp bAnG*
*Coilovers for tacking those bendy bois*
*Brakes for that epic stop stop*
*Wheels to make it look not behd*
But seriously really good vid explaining it 😎💪
Stutututu*
100% yes 😂😂
Bigger wheels more sticky to Roady road m8. Small wheel = no traction
Suspension is great for performance, ran 10's in my G6E on stock suspension. This list is basically top 5 mods when fresh off your P plates.
Heat exchanger for the zf transmission. Mine just milkshaked. Should include that mod on something so avoidable
Or get a 6 speed manual
Tranny cooler should be the first mod any owner does or bye bye transmission at around 100-150k mark.
The taxi drivers in Sydney were hell bent on keeping up with diff oil changes every 80k they told me.
And I’d change the turbo oil feed line before anything lol
Absolute first mod for a barra turbo is a preventative one. Turbo oil line's with inline filter. Leaving the stock one in is a ticking time bomb and will destroy your turbo once the factory gauze filter clogs up.
got a link to where that part can be bought?
Thanks mate were can I buy the air intake from
Fuel injectors, bigger intercooler with piping, hi flow cat, cat back exhaust and air filter - my first 5 mods.

Doesn’t need a rebuild until you actually make decent power
fuck wit
or, I build from the inside outside and once I slap a bigger turbo on she’s ready to rock lmao
Rebuild the box, diff and half shafts before you toutch the bottom end. Youll go 9s on a SBE
If you’re ok with spending the money and are planning to go BIG, that’s a good plan. If you only want a extra hundred hp or so, dw about it, they are tough motors.
When's the vid coming of blowing the rear bar of with a burnout
YES!! i too am keen for that vid!
Warbird I’ve been practising, maybe very soon 😉
Best mod for your turbo falcon is an aftermarket oil feed line otherwise it will be na
First thing I did, along with the trans oil cooler.
Learnt that the hard way
Maybe service your car regularly with quality oil and you won’t have a problem
THE VIDEO WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
First thing I’d do I colour icc and xr50 dash accents then I’d do xr50 seats front rear and piano black icc faceire etc

Depending on what model, you could pull the brake setup off of an f6 typhoon. Old man put a set on his work ute bc he had like 600kg of tools in it.

Miss my old xr6 turbo. Got an el xr8 now and it's no fun to drive.
I love my EF. Only a 4ltr but she's clean as.
Currently own a 07” bf Fairmont ghia and I now wanna sell it for a fg xr6 turbo 😂
Just bought the ba xr6 turbo with a garret turbo first one and am in fucking love got it int the phantom purple with the custom interior
Hey where did you get your grill from?
Mackielec on face book 👍
how do u have turbo on p plates?
Move to a state that allows it.
2.5 mod=earls Turbo braided oil line
Mod 1 for autos - EXTERNAL TRANS COOLER
F6 rear bar and side skirts, Sunroof, Leather interior
Sunroof mod? You're crazy. No thanks. Asking for trouble.
Swipez what’s wrong with a sunroof?
@@goldberg7995 rust leaking water etc.
tle1977a not if you get someone to do it professionally lol
that sound you are hearing is called surge. not good for any turbo.
no
it's only bad if it's occurring under load and on throttle you spud
@@tassiedingo yes what you are saying is correct under load with the hot air going backwards through the turbo and being compressed again and increasing the temperature higher each time it dose that.
next time don't say spud. the comment was made for referance of the sound.
I drive a GU why is this in my recommendations?
ask Google/TH-cam
VibranceVFX ok boomer

VibranceVFX you’re the one asking someone why their video is in their recommendations cob.. it’s a TH-cam algorithm. Clearly you were searching up other car videos or watched a falcon video and TH-cam suggested it. It’s not like the guy who made this video hacked your account and made it come up 😂
Steve Smith pfff ok boomer
It will be a sad day when you move on to another car Zac!
I hope when that time comes you'll do as I did and hold on to your FG as well.
Already sold now :(
Things I'd do to an xr6t fg
1. Upgrade the icc to a kayhan android auto system
2. Wrap the bonnet, roof, and boot in black, I'd think that would look sick on your car
3. Upgrade the turbo for power
4. Tune to make 600hp
5. Xforce performance exhaust
quick question - why do you always talk about your cars power in horsepower? We normally measure power in KW in australia. Horsepower is imperial and every time someone says how much HP they have, i have no idea what that is in KW unless i google a conversion. My fg makes 354KW with similar mods to yours. A tune and basic supporting mods definitely turns these into a whole different monster!
Kw to HP add 25% from memory.
@@jerryking7772 yea i know roughly the conversion but i was puzzled as to why an australian dude, making videos about his australian built car would be measuring his power in american imperial numbers. Couldn't possibly be to inflate the numbers so it sounds better?
We use KW, not horsepower. Killometers, not miles. Metric, not imperial etc.
Im not trying to be a jerk, its just a personal peev of mine.
@@richo1333 There are plenty of us old school guys still around that talk in horsepower and imperial sizes plus we know both. For eg i was in primary school when metric first came in and so when i entered the workforce as an apprentice engine reconditioner everything was still measured in imperial and it literally took decades for metric to completely take over as a lot of engines retained their imperial sizes even with bolts. I remember some fords had a mixture of imperial and metric bolts what a shambles that was.
Do the oil feed next Zac! Otherwise remove the micro filter from near the banjo
Hey bro , most of us on TH-cam started watching you with your n/a xr6 fg falcon journey which we all loved , so now your baging n/a fg falcons , come on bro I love my n/a xr6 falcon , personally I think that n/a barras sound better than the turbo wind up toys that sound shit , just my opinion , , best not to shit on your original bread and butter .😉
Tubo barras sound fine as long as ur not feeding air back through the turbo like a wanker
100% agree BC XR6
Good video bro, u know how capable these Barra's are. Just ask Dandy Engines
Didn’t see manual transmission on the list
kyranoscopy why go slow?😉
Manual isn't for millennials. Sad but true.
Sour Words literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever read
The ONLY people that think turbo flutter sounds cool are people who have turbos that flutter
Hell yea man. I can choose to make mine either dose or sneeze, dose is way better. Get yourself one.
Everyone loves a good dose
@@MV60 and destroy ya turbo I'm the process
@@joshbarker432 Ha ha, how? This will be good...
@@MV60 the fact you don't know how isnt good! 😂
You never remove the blow off valve if you do this will damage the turbo due to pressure surge when you shut the throttle the pressure has no where to go so it back purges into the compressor wheel this damages the compressor the shaft bearings/bushs and the seals only an idiot would do this
Has been dis proven a million times
@@ir0nal3x97 it has not been disproven if it had no turbo manufacturer would use them blow off valves are there to relieve the damaging back pressure to the compressor wheel this damages the turbine blades and shaft I've used turbos since 1987 & damaged many due to back pressure
First mod should be to clean the spare wheel.
Not having a BOV or a recirculating BOV will damage the turbo
Yeah gay.
what are the wheels ?
Rota grid wheel's
Let's face it the first MOD is useless and you've only done it for noise.
The air enters the turbo and is instantly heated up by the turbos own heat hence why you run an intercooler.
MOD 2 is also useless and is only done for the noise.
MOD 3 is the first useful MOD worth doing that you've mentioned.
MOD 4 is spot on but it should be done after you've got good tyres put on or just before you put good tyres on. Good suspension will quickly show you how crap your tyres are and vice versa.
MOD 5 is also good.
First MODs should be wheels and tyres, followed by suspension and brakes.
With a good foundation you can then add power.
Start with an exhaust and better intake including intercooler.
Once that's done get a tune.
Most will be happy with that.
If you want more power then go with better valve springs, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump and then get it tuned again.
If you still want more then you need to look at getting better manifolds or a bolt on plenum.
You'll get better flow, faster spool and if you've done everything right you will be ready for a larger turbo if you are still wanting more power than you can handle.
simple vids are best
I'm sorry but u clearly have no idea what what u are talking about. Anyone who wants to own a fg turbo falcon should , n.1 delete the faulty heat exchanger that is very prone to fail and pump water into the trans, so setup a aftermarket cooler . N.2 the 6 hp26 are not strong enough for the turbo engine and very common in snapping the input shaft . Anyways there is a lot mods that have to be done to these vehicles before u would even think of stupid exhaust mods and so on
Okay dad 🥔👍
@@joshuawaugh300 haha U wish 😘
Deleting a blow off valve is NOT a good modification.. yeah sounds hectik but its not a good idea
James Stevenson dont try and say it damages the turbo cause that is full of shit 😂😂
Oh James... why are you so dumb?
@@meathead2575 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you tell me champ
@@meathead2575 please explain your reasoning and prove your results as to why a blow off valve delete is a good modification?
It's personal preference James.
Thousands of cars not running bov have never had issues
Hi Zac luv ya channel and thanks I got a discount from Mitchell at Mackielec he's awsome great bloke I get all my work done through him also got my cold side intake and battery relocation also got intercooler pipe replacement kit and he just did my suspension lowered looks mint and drives awsome just saving for a tune he's taking my FG to XR6 Developments can't wait 👍🏻
Nice
Every time you get me when you say ''Falcon'' it sounds like ya saying fawlken bruh
Hey Zac I've seen your falcon around maybe you should race me one day
