bugger

ill try something else

give me a min

youre a star

so youve just bought a supercharger or that car.

the supercharger is what is for sale, he brought the Falcon for it to go on a few weeks/months ago

so youve just bought a supercharger or that car.

im looking at buying the blower he has for sale

ha haaa i beat you again

ok. looks good. shame its not going onto a mitsi though

Oooh that will be tough, will that cooler kit fit behind a stock bar?

ok. looks good. shame its not going onto a mitsi though

i just wish ford had the build quality of a 3rd gen!

Oooh that will be tough, will that cooler kit fit behind a stock bar?

yes, with some cutting

Sorry to inform you but those pipes aren't very "polished" :P
So did you buy it or not? Please say yes.
Micjaiy.....Follow suit.

looks like viewing will have to wait til tomorrow night, polishing will be done, dont stress

Looking good mate hopefully it will be on for the Forster cruise.

dont like my chances, install will be easy, getting the tune might be tight

Nice job man. It'll smash your old Magna (Even without the blower lol) in performance, satisfaction and resale :)

Nice job man. It'll smash your old Magna. (Probably even without the blower lol)

magna was quicker off the mark but over 100 the ford will kill it, dont underestimate the magnas mate ;)

Your gonna be doing what Josh did with EVO after you hopefully get that fitted lol

too easy, but we need a nice spot to do runs like that, also i need to get brakes up to spec as well

Should of gotten a GT:P Saves you upgrading brakes and wing etc :P

you'd better upgrade the drivetrain/gearbox with that sort of power!!!

and no i'm not following suit paul. lol

']Should of gotten a GT:P Saves you upgrading brakes and wing etc :P

regular GT's only have normal brakes with an option to upgrade to Brembos. The GTP (which I have) is the one that got the 6 piston brembos front and 4 piston brembos rear.

Yep thats on the BA GT's/F6's only. The BF onwards models got 4spot brembos on the front and single piston rears with the option of the bigger 6spot front/4spot rears which like you said the GTP got standard.

']Should of gotten a GT:P Saves you upgrading brakes and wing etc :P

why do i need to change the wing? im not racing in daytona!

nice work Luke. When i worked at the carwas a bloke came in with a s/c XR8. Sounded pretty sweet.

yeah im going to view it tonight, hopefully all goes well

heres my receipt

NNNNNIIIIICCCCEEEEE


Will be great to have it running for the Forster cruise please have it running :D

I've heard this beast and the xorst system ROCKS. Real meaty, old-school note. Plenty of mongrel to go around ;)

have you heard it in the last few days? its taken nearly a week but it has gotten A LOT better

why do i need to change the wing? im not racing in daytona!

I reckon they look nicer without a wing, just a cleaner line.

+1 to the driveline upgrade.

my mate has a BA XR8 and he's had the diff replaced twice. he's also about to take it in to have all the suspension bushes replaced because the rear ones are shagged.

thats definantly on the schedule, brakes, diff, suspension (but not lowering it)

Lookin good MAD!

Quality gear.

I like.

Get the AWC bobtail FTW! :drool:

yeah factory bushes are very poor quality. Very noticeable when worn (alot of axle tramp)

picked up alll parts

waiting for install and tune now, seems like decent mechanics are hard to tie down!

Looks WILD,hows it running?

not bad, but needs a custom tune, hopefully this week

Looking great mate cant wait for you to take me for a spin in it, when i get mine back up and running we will have to take them out for a cruise.

hell yeah!

i had to baby it home tonight, but even keeping it below 2500rpm it was hard not to speed, and i love the whistle behind the V8 rumble

360kw-atw.....don't tell the council, they will foot you the bill for ripping the concrete up.

if anyone think there was another earquake, done worry, its just mad35l getting sonic boom...

Thats sick mate, would be a right beast to drive i bet :woot:

as soon as we get some dry roads im gunna test it out a bit more.

also need to replace the bov with a plumb back so the feds dont harrass me

bloody hell! how much torque i wonder?

bloody hell! how much torque i wonder?
The answer to that is "a shed load" :woot:

Congrats mate, must be a beast! :facejump:

bloody hell! how much torque i wonder?

apparently 1500 pounds

apparently 1500 pounds
got metric?? lol


thats insane, don't think i'll be doing anything like that to mine any time soon

got metric?? lol


thats insane, don't think i'll be doing anything like that to mine any time soon

i can get it for ya, id like to know myself

im already planning on upgrading the blower in 12months or so, i want a top mount so the torque is there right through the rev range, unlike a centrifugal that builds up boost and torque as the revs increase. im thinking yellaterra or kenne bell. but this is a long way off

1500ft/lbs of torque?

Thats roughly 2033.727Nm of torque.

that would be motive force, not torque. with that amount of power I think you'll find it'll be around 600 or 700nm.

cheers,
.wook

How long before 'we' take it down the 1/4 mile?

Yeah half curious about that figure....

With a bigger picture would be easy to tell....

probably never, i never had that in mind.

Heh sorry MAD35L,

I thought you might have read the figure wrong. Wookie is probably on the money, im used to seeing graphs with RPM/Torque displayed.

Yours shows Lb's, if you had the rpm you could work out a rough torque figure.

So im out of idea's - :)

yeah i think wook is on the money, im happy with the top end, i just wish it was more lively off the mark, new 4.11 diff gears will help me out there but

Taken from ford forums:

The figure you have is called tractive effort (apparantly)


Here you go:

The formula is:
T = (TE x r)/(1000 x R)

The tractive effort is obtained by multiplying the torque by the total ratio of power train and dividing this sum by the rolling radius of the driving tyres.
T = (TE x r)/(1000 x R)

Where:
T= Motor torque in kg/millimetres
TE = Tractive Effort in N
R = Overall gear reduction including both axle and transmission
r = Rolling radius of loaded driving tyre in millimetres

Example:
TE = 5400
R = diff ratio X gear ratio (eg 3.45 diff x 1.00 Auto 3rd gear = 3.45)
r = 326.60 mm (18" rim/ with 235/40/18 tyre combo)

T = 510NM

So you need to know:
diff ratio
what gear the run was in, and it's ratio
what rear tyre size is (and convert that to radius in mm)

4th gear

diff i think is 3.63

rolling diameter is the same as a magna i think

Whats the gear ratio? (of your 4th gear?)

Might be a stupid question - but whats the rolling diameter of a magna tyre? lol

Whats the gear ratio? (of your 4th gear?)

Might be a stupid question - but whats the rolling diameter of a magna tyre? lol
you're not after the rolling diameter, you want the rolling radiius. OD for stock (205/65r15) is 647.5mm, so the radius would be half that (323.75mm). OD of 235/40r18s is 645.2mm (radius is 322.6mm).

gear ratio *should* be close to 1:1 (that's why they do dyno's in that gear).

cheers,
.wook

EDIT: so working on a 1:1 gear ratio, 3.63 diff ratio and 322.6mm rolling radius you get:
(~1600 x 322.6)/(3.63 x 1000) = 143 which is blatantly wrong.

RE-EDIT: thinking about this, it works in metric, not lbs...

Whats the gear ratio? (of your 4th gear?)

Might be a stupid question - but whats the rolling diameter of a magna tyre? lol

ill find all this out, might be easier just to ring the tuner lol

Sorry wookie im dead tired and at work.....

here we go...


1 pound (lb) = 4.448222 newton (N)

1600 lb = 7117 N

let's call it 7000 N ('cause it's not quite 1600 lbs).

(7000 x 322.6)/(3.23 x 1000) = ~699Nm

not bad (and not a bad guess if I say so myself).

cheers,
.wook

EDIT: gear + diff ratios from http://www.supercarsite.net/ford/ba-falcon-xr8/2003

EDIT2: to put that into perspective, my sprintex'd auto was pulling ~375Nm atw when it made 169kw.

youre a star wook

as soon as we get some dry roads im gunna test it out a bit more. Until then you can't keep up with my awd lol! Jokes!

As an average FI guide, the Nm output is approx equal to 2x kw. Atw or at engine makes little difference. Diesels and NA are different.

Pretty rough guide mate... My car makes 192kwatw and about 450Nm.

Atleast we all learnt something about reading tractive force off a dynamics dyno :)

You sure you have that right?? That means if you had a FI car doing 300KW then the torque would be approx 150Nm :roflwtf:

Great news mate when do i get to go for a spin, Hopefully it wont be to long and me you and Ian can all take our cars for a bit of a cruise.

i think he meant it the other way around, 300kw = 600nm roughly

Btw - thats a damn impressive torque figure.

Always had a thing for supercharged V8's.....now I know why, road bending torque.

mental note

dont drive the ford to the shops on a wet night, take the ute!

losing traction in fourth isnt as fun as it sounds, but traction control keeps me sane

Pretty rough guide mate... My car makes 192kwatw and about 450Nm.

450? Not 449 or 451? But definately 192?

yeah i crap myself in 2nd gear in the wet, occasionally when im accelerating onto the freeway in 3rd when its wet gets a bit of the "ass out" action :eeek:

so i'd defanitely be scared of driving yours!!! lol

do you also find that the T/C comes on too late??

450? Not 449 or 451? But definately 192?
When it was dyno tuned, it made 192kwatw and "about" 450Nm at the flywheel. They're 400Nm stock, and around 150kwatw stock. So I basically gained 40kwatw and 50Nm from an exhaust. Either way, those numbers are pretty far from your claim. :eek2:

Incase that isn't clear enough, you said in a FI setup, torque = power x 2. Meaning if someone made 200kwatw, torque would be 400Nm. So unless I've misunderstood that...

He did say approx ......

Anyway stock 150kw atw would be around 200kw atm so x2 is 400Nm ....... spot on!

After the dyno tune you netted 28% more power so half of that ...... 400 + 14% = 456 Nm ..... ~450Nm.

Sounds like a reasonable rule of thumb I think.

:roflwtf: Hang on a minute. He said power at the wheels or the flywheel won't make much difference. My car makes 192kwatw and around 450Nm.

192 x 2 = 384 - Nowhere near 450Nm.

Assuming 150kwatw = 206kw flywheel stock, unless my maths is retarded (which is possible) that's a 31% difference. So 192kw + 31% = 252kw at the flywheel modified, which by EZ's formula (respectfully) would be 504Nm.

Besides, when you got your 28% more power figure, you have to double that - remember power x 2 = Nm. You halved it in your equation. So it would be 400 + 56% = 624Nm.

Where am I? :iough:

;) Ha ha but you must admit stock .... 206KW v's 400Nm .... pretty close.

Who says you have 450Nm atm anyway, how did you measure it? Maybe it is closer to 500Nm :ninja:

I'll agree in stock form EZ's "guesstimate" is pretty close, at least for my car - it'd be interesting to apply it to a bunch of different FI factory cars.

My tuner told me he approximated the torque at around 450Nm. It could be closer to 500, who knows. :ninja:

Last time I heard you ran a 1:13.8?? That is still slower then my 1:13.24..

Basically I have been to two trackdays (my first), ran a 1:13.. and on the second I ran consistant low 1:14's all day, which was pritty good considering it was a greasy track.

So all of a suddern my car is a piece of nugg?

*lol*

Your right, it is a piece of nugg! haha.

*sigh* gone from a blower install in MAD35L's falcon to whose quicker...

good work on the power man. tahts a freakin massive power and torque jump.

cheers mate, cant wait until i get the plumb back, no more annoying bov (policia attractant)

ye hate BOV's. plumb back ftw. what bov will you run??? bosch makes some decent plumb backs and its not too pricey as name brands one. what PSI you running??? also how much power can the stock internals handle before you have to open her up???

also running a large cooler and getting air flow though the small opening at the bottom and a little ontop whats the intake temp like???

i was thinking turbosmart, my tuner recommended bosch, but i didnt like the idea of a plastic part.

im new to this kind of mod, and am open to peoples opinions.

lol @ plastic

know plenty of guys on SAU running over 350rwkw daily using bosch BOV's but ye turbosmart will also be good and well known.

so does the lol mean its not plastic? or that itll be fine being plastic?

its not plastic. or im 90% sure its not plastic

its not plastic. or im 90% sure its not plastic

so you can understand me being turned off when a tuner mentions a plastic plumback lol

hahahah iv seen some that are sullpied to saab and lots of ppl ahve installed them in their high powered car. didnt know they are platic

Can we get a video of this thing in action?

I'd love to hear it.

-Dan

Factory bosch BOV's are indeed plastic last time I handled one.

A plastic BOV won't hold boost aswell as a metal one. The stock BOV on EVO 8's and 9's (infact all EVO's except the 8 MR) are plastic. Most people uprade to an EVO 8 MR BOV, which is a metal unit, straight away. It holds boost a lot better, especially near redline.

do boost tests all the time and shes not leaking yet (ie not cracked yet)..

but im waiting for the day to come when it does.. they hold boost exactly the same till they crack.. a perfectly good plastic bov will hold boost exactly the same as the metal MR bov.. obviously the metal one wont crack at hi boost though...

as for this falcon.. @ 8psi or 12psi, plastic would be totally fine.. BUT, if you dont own a bov you'd be silly not to buy a metal one.. no point in being a tight ar$e on a build like this...

:facejump: gremlin. Metal MR BOV is like $189 delivered. Cheap wad. :woot:

i no mate.. i'll get one eventually.. on the to do list :)

you guys just reinforced my opinion, do it right the first time.

cheers

Last time I heard you ran a 1:13.8?? That is still slower then my 1:13.24..

Basically I have been to two trackdays (my first), ran a 1:13.. and on the second I ran consistant low 1:14's all day, which was pritty good considering it was a greasy track.

So all of a suddern my car is a piece of nugg?

*lol*

Your right, it is a piece of nugg! haha.

last time I ran a 1:13.8, but my car did a 1:13.19 (driven by Marty).

all I was trying to say was don't go by what the car COULD be capable of, or what the car IS capable of... stupid point really.

:facejump: It's still not an argument you can win. A stock EVO 9 driven by a good driver will run low 1.09's. Considering Tonbas car has more power and torque than an EVO 9, and better suspension, it's easily going to be faster. There's no doubt his car is capable of low 1.08's which is 5 seconds a lap faster than yours.

The fact that its plastic has nothing to do with it, its the spring in the thing that matters.

this is true until the plastic one cracks (which happens all the time on hi boost apps.)

they can even crack only the smallest amount so u cant really hear it.. only time u'll find it is doing a boost leak test.. i do them often but most ppl dont... so you far better off with a metal bov....

I agree a plastic bov isn't the best idea, some of the metal factory ones leak with high boost aswell.

I have a bov laying around here somewhere that i turned up on the lathe from a block of alloy. Works well for a home made one.

i think i blew a hoseclamp tonight

snapped second and i heard a pop, then when the revs climb all i hear is wind. also there was a noticable power drop

just my luck it seems to be one of the clamps behind the front bar, so in the morning i get to play in the driveway :D

hope you get things sorted! ;)

Really? Where from?

My BOV was leaking so I've reversed it for now.. Looking for an MR BOV.

Huh? :think:

Whatever...

Look, what is the point of your argument? You ran a 1:13.8, and I have run a 1:13.24? So what? Did you have fun? I did, and now Im going to start the long quest of dropping lap times...
