Another tough turbo e-series from WA discovered last night

by **ed40** » April 7th, 2011, 4:52 pm

First time I seen this car around.. Tried to find the owner but no luck. Took some snaps and a vid. Only ran twice, first run had some major missfire, second run came out ran a 10.06 (sorry forget the mph) and then went home! Looks like it has alot of potential.

That intercooler setup looks familiar - I think I've seen it on an EF/L before..?

Starting with an EA is the way to go

by **DJV8T5** » April 7th, 2011, 5:03 pm

shit i wouldnt want that to be a real copper on the road...wouldnt have a chance against it in any car i have owned

different plenum style used though would be good to have a close look at the whole setup

by **ed40** » April 7th, 2011, 5:04 pm

the twin throtts or the cooler setup? Looks similar to SVO XR6 (wa car n/a with twin throttlebods)

by **EF ECTIV** » April 7th, 2011, 5:39 pm

plenum looks similar to the one Rod (the Dentist) used to run back in the day when it was supercharged: the green one
I mean....

^^^^^^
edit: also looks like the other supercharged EL he's got/owned...

by **SNR** » April 7th, 2011, 9:05 pm

Doesn't just look similar, the pipework looks identical, look at the bends and compare where they are welded from the two pics.

by **EFFalcon** » April 7th, 2011, 9:08 pm

wtf... he took the sueprcharger setup off the green EL and put it on the grey EL?
is the grey EL more of a daily?

by **Rollin** » April 7th, 2011, 9:48 pm

That's the one I was thinking of - either it's the same guy with another car or he sold the setup to this guy. Either way, tough

by **needfordspeed** » April 7th, 2011, 10:06 pm

That's awesome, good to see some more quick falcons out there!

by **Sunboost** » April 7th, 2011, 10:47 pm

Farr that's what my EA looked like back in 1991. Wish it still looked like that. Oh yea, 10's are cool too.

by **HBWC** » April 7th, 2011, 11:38 pm

ok i know the owner of that cop car hes a realy helpful bloke to talk to and yes he is a trafic cop
the best bart it runs on gas and the builder recons with a bit more tuneing it should see a 9o very shortly

by **Parfrey** » April 8th, 2011, 12:24 am

by **misk** » April 9th, 2011, 2:17 am

liquid gas injection using the standard rail setup, or are they just there for good looks?

by **HBWC** » April 9th, 2011, 12:38 pm

Good memory. I reckon that's the same setup too.

by **needfordspeed** » April 9th, 2011, 3:53 pm

Awesome this should be good competition for Jason Ghillers crew.

by **EFFalcon** » April 9th, 2011, 4:34 pm

would certainly be awesome to see what LPG Injection is capable of.
imagine a pre ADR87 car, legal LPG Turbo with injection

Chances are a lot of it has been swapped over throughout various setups.
obviously on the supercharged car, the throttles are pre S/C, when turbo, its pre manifold.

by **Another_ef** » April 10th, 2011, 12:48 am

looks the goods, and it'd be cool to see that on the street, backing tires past other police cars, and everyone wondering WTF was that

Does anybody have a power figure for it?

Under development. Oz built profire sequential lpg vapour injection and ecu system.

by **bradkazz** » April 17th, 2011, 5:20 pm

The Engine is from Rod's Grey Falcon and was a test of the fastest possible time on LPG with cast pistons and standard rods.

A built engine is currenlty being installed. The 10.06 and 25psi was hurting the standard parts, it was comfortable at 20PSI and 10.49.

Turbo - T04Z,
Gearbox - built C4,
Diff - standard with spool,
LPG - vapour injection.

by **EF ECTIV** » April 17th, 2011, 5:21 pm

states rod sammut as the driver? Is he driving a mates car or does he have another insane E-series turbo? Makes sense when looking
at the pipework....

by **bradkazz** » April 17th, 2011, 6:37 pm

Rod was driving because the owner (ex cop) is waiting for a new license

by **EF ECTIV** » April 17th, 2011, 11:17 pm

Oh ok makes sense... If anyone knows how to pilot a quick eseries Rod would....

by **mickyyyy** » April 27th, 2011, 11:35 pm

read about both of these a couple days ago and there very impressive cars.

by **mickyyyy** » April 29th, 2011, 8:28 am

I wonder what the cost of the lpg conversion is???

Would like to compare as E85 is coming to more servo's and that's a good fuel as well

by **bradkazz** » May 5th, 2011, 12:04 pm

Drive in and out including dyno tune $8000.00.

by **mickyyyy** » May 8th, 2011, 9:59 pm

How much hp can that system support for 8k???

by **rat** » May 11th, 2011, 10:54 pm

by **needfordspeed** » May 11th, 2011, 11:13 pm
