There is a 'conspiracy' which goes along the lines of "USA shut Australian Ford and Holden (GM) down because they were upstaging the US flagship models". I tend to think this is bordering on the line of truth.
Me and my misses recently bought her old Falcon back and engine swapped it with a fresh low ks bf series 2 na motor seing this makes the temptation of turbocharging it so much more haha
Subbed, nice video man! I especially love the part where you show the route up to Townsville and there's like 100 lots of road works, that's peak Australia right there!!
Great Effort. Did this 7 years ago to my FG with way more shall we say Budget parts.....and made 540 rwhp on 14psi. Engine was still quite happy at that level , however the box fried after one good pass at Willowbank. Way less clutches in the atmo box. 12.0@120 mph though. Was tuned by Forced in Toowoomba. On a side note I managed to get the car to run a 13.6 over 1/4 when it was atmo 😁
@@fgmods All I did was to swap in a 3.45 diff centre and extractors plus free flowing/noisy exhaust and got a mail order tune from BP and it ran a 13.6 atmo. The Vid is on my channel if you go back about 7 years. Doing the turbo conversion with a T70 Master Power turbo was fun though !!
Great content, I’m another one with dreams of converting my na territory for the last few years!! Pls upload a 6month review when u get a chance. Good luck buddy🤟
So happy you've built the dream car you'd been wanting for so long . I built an 85 supra into a turbo engined beast years ago . Now I've an fgx xr6 and thinking a turbo or supercharger conversion would be fun to do . Cheers , and thanks for a great channel 😅🔥💯
out of curiosity how much ball park figures, did it end up costing? from parts to finish? been looking into it a fair bit recently, this got me even more keen todo it! cheers for the vid man
Na zf is surprisingly stout, my mates got one in his 550kw g6e, it hates life and slips 3rd-4th if you shift on power but it hasn't failed catastrophically.. Turbo or better yet built box is the go though, mine makes 410kw and the standard turbo zf hasn't missed a beat
Congrats mate. Awesome result. I have a BF Turbo stock and am really tempted to unleash. However i know it'll become a money pit. But then the smile on your face when you push it
@wobblysauce My brother has got a VL turbo built from the ground up. It goes like a cut cat, but most of its life is spent at the mechanics due to breakages. Has spent working overtime to pay for upgrades.
Nice but.. i did this 2 years ago running 98 and 8 psi and i make 305 RWK with an UN OPENED FG NA engine, stock exhaust internal gate just a cooler kit and air box, still going strong too :)
That's a great result for a Falcon with no work! If you're comparing results don't forget where I specifically said we didn't want to push the car too far because the gearbox needed to survive the 1400Km trip back to Brisbane.
I watch pfi speed and they have been pushing pulsar turbos on plenty of hondas and they absolutely rip. Their technology and quality is really good. And I'm seeing more and more people running them
How did you drive it back to Brisbane being a full time e85 car ? And the turbo zf boxes aren’t anything special I blew mine at about the same power you have on your NA box ( if it’s still alive lol )
The drive back was fine on 85. Just had to stop more regularly to be sure I didn’t run out hundreds of Ks from a united with E85. Fuel economy is only about 100Ks worse than before, give or take a bit.
@@fgmods lol I bet you had all the united servos fully mapped out before you started driving back !! Why’d you plumb the external gate back into the dump ? Screamer sounds way better
Hey mate I’ve done a na+T conversation on my xr6 and for some reason I keep getting a engine light come on, I can get rid of it by disconnecting battery but then couple days later it comes back. I’ve got thoughts on it been o2 sensor seen I’ve put a big dump pipe and cat on it but not overly sure. Have you had any dramas like this. Any help would be appreciated
Nah I’d never sell it. I’ve still spent less than I would have buying a factory turbo (unless it was a really clapped turbo) and I got to learn a lot from the guys at Elite and have fun doing the build along the way.
Why does no one ever say how much it costs? Its so annoying. Its such a simple question. He didn't ask how much once you've done more, we just wanna know how much for the parts and install 🤷♂️
Great informal video, however It would've also been nice to add the cost of everything together, regardless still a great video. I am surprised that you haven't had an aftermarket zf heat exchanger installed as of yet, may of put you more on ease on the drive back. But wow 354kw is some serious power! That's enough to make anyone happy for a really long time.
I’ll probably address the cost in a future video. I’m not done with it yet, so total cost will change. Trans cooler will come in the future. Wasn’t happy with the one I previously bought, so I didn’t install it.
There’s a lot of factors involved What fuel you’re using Timing Turbocharger There are a decent number of people who have gotten over 600HP on stock NA bottom end
as someone that lives in the states, im extremely jealous that you guys have this car

Kowabunga, dude! That's so great that you got it done in the end. Love it.
mighty impressive result on the NA bottom end with some minor supporting mods! just amazing! what a journey! so happy for you mate well done!!

That's awesome. The NA motors can take and make a lot more than people give them credit for.

I’ve done the drive from Townsville to brisbane. What a trip ✌️

Sounds bloody insane !! I need an external gate so bad 🥲
Thats actually insane 350kw hell yeahh
So glad to see it boosted man!! Well done 👏👏👏

Nicely put together video mate 👍 enjoyed watching
Bro I’ve been waiting for this for so many years finally!!!
Congrats mate. Awesome result. I have a BF Turbo stock and am really tempted to unleash. However i know it'll become a money pit. But then the smile on your face when you push it
Money in exchange for happiness is well worth it
Build, break, repeat
@wobblysauce My brother has got a VL turbo built from the ground up. It goes like a cut cat, but most of its life is spent at the mechanics due to breakages. Has spent working overtime to pay for upgrades.
@@vincekara9446 Or dial it back a tad to gain the reliability... hahaha what am I talking about.
@@wobblysauce That is the magic formula. $ vs power vs reliability.
Cool build mate. Well done.
Big Congats, I have been wondering if you were gonna get there, well done 👍

Pulsar have pretty much become the standard for Falcon builds now. Very reliable turbos.
Well done 👍
Good video
entertaining and funny video and decent power from N/A barra. keep it up
Nah, being in SA with Na+T dreams on a 5 speed is soul crushing. Might have to bite the bullet and just get a xr6 turbo :(
What do you mean about being in SA?
Love the video man . I had same pulser and gate set up housing had to been machined to fit . Just a fyi😊😊
keep you work mate
Would love to see a cost breakdown on this build. Turbo parts
matts a great guy
good shit well done lads

What a nice car
what was the cost and parts needed? and labour
Great video
Can you list down the parts I need to get to turbo charge my NA falcon ? Cheers man ! Love the vid 🔥

Holy fucking shitballs, the power!!!!
Inspiration mate
Congrats mate, if you had your time again would you just sell the na and bought a factory turbo? And have you installed / upgrades the trans cooler?
Nah I’d never sell it. I’ve still spent less than I would have buying a factory turbo (unless it was a really clapped turbo) and I got to learn a lot from the guys at Elite and have fun doing the build along the way.
Fair enough, bet it drives so well compared to the na
How much does it cost generally to put a turbo in a falcon?
how much did the build cost overall??
I’ll address that in a future video.
I’ve still got more I want to do, so the total cost will change soon.
Why does no one ever say how much it costs? Its so annoying. Its such a simple question. He didn't ask how much once you've done more, we just wanna know how much for the parts and install 🤷♂️
Nice build
Factory stock ecu ??
how much did the entire thing cost?
Do you know what fitting was tapped into the lower thermostat?
Hey just watched your video and was wondering what the cost was as i am keen to do this to mine
Great informal video, however It would've also been nice to add the cost of everything together, regardless still a great video.

End of the day its still faster and mor3 reliable then josh obriens fg ute 😂😂😂😂😂😂 good content josh 👌
#dontdriveonbeachs🎉
What did you do for loom and computer?
Will you be doing a cost breakdown video?
Yeah I'll do a full parts breakdown and cost video in the future
Did I miss it or did you keep the na ecu and run a external boost controller?
Yes it's the NA ECU and using the GFB electronic boost controller.
Was that all the mods to the engine looking to turbo a stock na
I have a more recent vid with the full parts list and cost breakdown
Roughly how much did all that cost
How much was it parts and labour?
should of used a green top barra
I say your car last weekend at QR for Cruise the Night. How did it go?
Car ran like a dream all night.
What can the stock FG barra motor take?
There’s a lot of factors involved
What fuel you’re using
Timing
Turbocharger
There are a decent number of people who have gotten over 600HP on stock NA bottom end
@@fgmods Nice im asking cause im in america and thinking about doing an FG longblock
Matt should of sent you around the corner so I could of fix and painted your front bar😂
Would have been good to fix it. It's a mess.
Not sure if u said in the video, but what exhaust did u get?
ANTZ dump and cat, then an Xforce cat back
Did you upgrade the injectors and pump?
Yeah larger injectors and pump. In my “unboxing turbo parts” video I go over which ones.
Why go from all the way up to townsville to get it done?
Because my friends own ELITE and I wanted to support them and show how incredible they are at what they do.
@@fgmods Thats Awesome!!
Bro makes as much at my factory turbo falcon, berry nice but idk if I'd be pushing then na rods much more then you are
Nah they’re gonna get pushed a lot further.
@@fgmods your a brave man good luck keeping it together
Is your front bumper custom ?
Yeah it is. Honestly wouldn’t recommend it. The join flexes too much and cracks all the time.
98 or e85 tune?
👌
welcome to tsv
I would think it would be cheaper to have sold the NA and purchased a turbo one ready ?
Great Video 😊
I’ve still spent less than I would have on a factory turbo.
Why not just buy a turbo FG to start with?
Stock internals?
Stock bottom end
Is it still going strong
It's been on 18/20 pounds for about 6 months now. Still going hard.
I spilt my beer when the Corona episode came on
Did you buy$ OEM Ford parts to Turbo your NA XR6 ?
Sorry you didn't.
I just got the 1k like let’s go I saw 999 so I had to
The second you turbocharged it it wasn't n/a
you left out the most important part - what do you reckon the damage to your wallet was after all of that!
I’ll address that in the future. There’s more to do so the total cost will change.
Only took 500 years lol 😂
FINALLY
The fact that covid 19 shut states and it wasn’t Evan necessary…
No , because having it spread uncontrolled and hospitals overrun would have been great ... More deaths than necessary !!!
well covid was bad for babies and old people so why shut down states that cant afford to do it and local businesses. Too ?
