Boosted Falcon

Hi fellow Falcon junkies,
Im looking at buying An AU engine from the wreckers as i was told that they are the best Pre BA engines to turbo charge. Is this correct? Do they all have the crankshaft/block cradle or was that XR6 only?

I also have at my disposal a EA closed chamber head, from what ive heard they are pretty magic on the AU block, i was just worried about the increase of compression being to high (although i am no stranger to turbocharging high comp engines), what are the main differences between the heads.

BTW this engine is going into my EA burnout car with either a HX50 or 4508 turbo.

One more thing, if i was to use an E series station wagon diff in a AU station wagon would it enable me to use wider wheels? (different car )

Thanks, and sorry if its posted in the wrong place

If you use the search function you will find lots of threads that has covered this.

Covered in heaps of other threads, but the gist is: yes, AU engine is best. Except the rods. Get BA E-Gas or Typhoon rods and you'll be golden.

spool rods and fg turbo pistons for a 400kw reliable option without the noise of forgies

just read burnout car lol. prob not wanting to spend too much

Why waste spool rods when f6 or bf 2 or newer pistons and rods will take 400 rwkw all day

Ecotec V6's are the best fellas.

EA 3.2 CFI coz they rev bettar

I wouldn't trust them with 400kw all day!

Nor would Karl, which is why he got spool ones for his motor

more peace of mind, plus scope to go further with a bigger turbo if the stock one pops

Your missing the point that the standard pistons will shit out at anything near 450rwkw the rods will be fine

i wouldnt feel to confident about that... ive seen 2 fg turbo engines throw rods around 400rwkw..
