Boosted Falcon

I know people who have used ethanol testers on eflex. It has varied from e60 to e75 straight from the bowser. When you tune a car on Ethanol fuel, a difference of 10% Ethanol is about a .5-.6 afr change requirement in the tune.
United is always atleast e85 and goes no higher than e90. Not batches I've seen tested anyway.

Caltex will always tell you what they want you to hear. They probably don't want Holden eflex drivers complaining to them about hard starting in winter.

On a side note, e50 can make nearly the same power as e85. E40-e50 is the sweet spot between power/economy. But the lambda changes a lot with ethanol fuel %. So you require a fairly steady ethanol content or the tune is toast.

Sorry nut. Back to your thread.

must feel awesome driving a 12 second car

Huh?

Must feel awesome bagging someone for running a 12 when the target was a fun streeter, not a "480rwkw 9 sec" race car with plates.....

Who's he aiming that at?

Least I know how to drive it properly

was directed at nut347. MR_4.0

if you think 'driving a 453rwkw car and running 12s' is properly, good for you I'd class 1.6x or better 60 footers as a decent driver. But thats my description

67rce, if its a fun streeter then they wouldn't care taking it to the track over and over. There is always a that little bit in your mind of wanting to get a good time. Hence they have had the discussion of a powerglide already. As we all know, always starts with fun, then gets competitive to try play with the big boys running 10s and faster

Lol. It's been out once.... Makes it a track hack? Fkn lol. Why cant it go glide for monster powerskids?

It's a manual you muppet, put a manual in yours and I doubt you could even run a 13.

And 10's is hardly playing with the big boys, your a good example that shows anyone can do it.

Lol fucken snap gilly.

Lol@ big boys, also lol at only running a 12.

I lol at your MPH, considering its dodgy.

Also, this ran 12.3@125 with 406rwkw, a slow take off and the first time I've ever driven this car at the drags.

I'll tell ya what, you can drive this thing at the drags, I'll throw ya the keys. If you can beat my time on your first run I'll give you $1000. As driven, with more power it has now, on street Tyres.

Deal?

But if you lose, i get to slog ya one in the face ****.

Seems legit

Manual= so much harder to drag than an auto.
Doing a 1.5 60' with an auto was easier than doing a 2.0 in a manual IMO!

I bet it does feel awesome driving this 12 second car.... would be epic fun on the street with that setup!

No parfrey, icer said the big boys do 1.6 60s with manuals.

We are just trying to play with the high rollers

I must be a shit driver, only managed 1.8s on street tyres in my ED

BA's are slow and shit anyway, the ED also did 12.3s with only 400rwhp

Haha big boys!! I feel like such a little man with my 11 sec car

Did you get any pics from the weekend? That green FG is mad!

No pics yet.

Brent has alot of videos I'll have to get off him.

Just when I thought icer was starting to pull his head in then !BAM! Back to dumbshit in no time haha.

The calm before the storm!

cant have that now can we nut374

everyone should update their times on the official boosted falcon 1/4mile page. I know I have

Fucking lol!!

as in out with the old and in with the new or just fcking gone

Yeah it went bang lol.



It only has 70000km on it, but it doesn't help when 56000 has been ~500rwhp lol.

I think it's done well!

Is it just the diff lid??

Lol nah.

It now has a 6 speed. Neutral.

Hate when that happens

Bump.

9" 4 link coming soon!

but solid bushes were too extreme for street?

OK ICER hahaha
coming 2013 maybe?

ps ive seen a na 6 ba throw a pinion gear through the diff housing, maybe it was just a dunger diff, id stick with stock irs if i was leaving it as a street car maybe just make sure the new crown wheel and pinion are stronger it seems they usually go through the housing than the housing giving way for no reason... but having said that i think tristan warped a housing too with 375rwkw of 4th gear skating non stop

Lol Bentley, if you had any idea.

A 4 link properly setup, with coil overs is probably just as good ride as a clunky shitty IRS setup.

IRS is fucken gay! And fitting solid mounts would be a waste of time IMO. The carries are shit, the gears are shit, the CVs are shit, the cases are shit and so is the setup in general.

Single piece tailshaft (no shit centre bearing to bang the floor constantly) no clunky arse diff bushes that wear out every 10000kms, and most of all, more traction.

BA NA 6s have a smaller diff too. M78 vs m86. I thought you were a mechanic?

forgot you guys have the thumb rule up there haha, in vic. if you have an un engineered 4 link setup you're going to have a bad time...
yes i know a m78 and m86 diffs are different sizes, but the 300+ kw difference more than makes up for it

also in before icer tells you not to put coilovers on the 4 link cos you wont get any traction

Lol mod playing wont be a problem.

A properly engineered 4-Link is easy to get set up and mod plated, McDonald Brothers do bolt in kits for lots of Falcons and Commodores.

Don't fit a single piece tailshaft!!! If it has axle tramp then it will destroy centre-bearings. With a 4 link you shouldn't have that problem.

nice looking bf mate nice power figure's you making too

Why not fit a single piece?

1/4 of the price and just as strong.

Ef_frmnt, some of it is weld in. The most drastic change is it needs the fuel tank removed and a fuel cell fitted.

Single shafts are loooong and I am reading many people having trouble balancing them.

sounds good. will make it a weapon at the drags if it ever gets an auto. i've got a single piece tailshaft in the ute and at some speeds you can feel it. i've played with pinion angle's, gearbox height trying to get it right. At the end of the day i think it's just to long. so when the diff breaks and a 9" goes in, it will be cut in half.

In saying that, aren't sedans a fair bit shorter?

Its funny ba people and commo people talk about going solid tailshafts all the time yet e series people go putring 2 peice in....

Apparently an f250 centre bearing can be modified to fit but it gets a little costly

If a tail shaft vibrates its out of balance.

I've been in many 10 sec old school cars with single piece tailshafts that don't vibrate.

Paul, this car hasn't ever axle tramped, but the centre bearing i got from you is 10000kms old and already pretty buggered.
