Boosted Falcon

Picked up this baby a couple of weeks ago.

Plans at this stage are pretty tame as the car is a daily driver. I bought a Typhoon lower intake snorkel today, which I'll fit at some stage tomorrow along with a K&N panel filter. Should help throttle response a little bit, if nothing else. In a few months when I've got more cash I'll head on down to somewhere like Nizpro and get her tuned.

Anyway, it didn't take me long to start modding it. Today I fitted the Typhoon lower intake and a K&N panel filter.



There was a fair bit of cutting involved to get the intake on, however with fairly detailed instructions from xr6turbo.com it made the process very simple.

Ash

Very jelouse.
Tested it on the street to see any difference yet? (air box)

As prevoiusly stated on multiple occasions - very nice, and I wish I had one!!!

Dose pipe FTW!

We need to go Friday night or Saturday night random cruising in this thing

How much was the snorkel? I've been meaning to put one on my ute for ages...

You'll have to let us know if you actually noticed any difference.

I got the snorkel for $65 from FTG Autosalvage.

I took it for a drive this morning and I had actually forgotten about the snorkel. The car felt heaps more responsive. I've done CAI mods to all of my previous cars and the difference was always SFA, but yeah this actually works. $65 + $90 for the K&N well spent I reckon.

Lucky bastard

this is a very nice car .well what i saw of it anyway

20 dub'z, slamed, dose pipe...

yer im still getting used to it ash i loved your EL man still in the Morning process.

clean car regardless:)

this car hammers.. very nice ash.. cremed myself when u took us for a spin.. n with like 5 **** packed in the car... shhockkked bro.. i want one.. oh yeh +1 for Dose Pipe..

Lookin' forward to shotgunnage

Nizpro. Do eeeet.

n/a conversion? fully strip the interior & run 14z

Update: I've got flutter. It's not a high pitched VL spec Dose, hence me using the term "flutter". Either way it's pretty cool. Last night was the first time I've driven the car properly since the intake mods so it was really unexpected to hear it the first time I backed off the throttle after a quick squirt. lol I kept doing it all night.

Nice one!

You inspired me to put a K&N in my ute, only noticed a slight improvement in accelleration (my old filter was pretty dirty). I'll have to put a Typhoon snorkle in it too and see what that does. I'd say the snorkle is where the power you noticed has come from...

You should put a F6 intercooler in yours, can get them pretty cheap now and I reckon it makes a difference. My ute has one and it seems to go a bit harder than most standard XR6T's (13.9@100mph). Keep your eye out on eBay and xr6turbo forums.

Yeah I was thinking I would probably go the F6 cooler.

I'm not chasing extreme power levels so that should be enough to keep me satisfied for a while longer.

Just a quick vid of my pov flutter. I'll book it in soon for a Eastside Customs Dose Pipe

That sounds pretty mild. HTFU with the dose pipe hehe.

Dose pipe = get rid of the airbox setup.

You could probably make it louder by blocking the BOV port.

Anyone fit a BA instrument cluster in an eseries yet? (probably dosnt work but im sure someone could do it). Damn they are a nice bit of work arent they.

Yeah I know how it works mate.

One Sunday when I'm bored I'll come around and we can experiment with different setups.

Not a bad dose Ash, you need something like this though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9nO5FMazXU

Fhwoa! That was mad.

The only mod I've done to mine is the lower inlet to the airbox. I didn't even expect it to do what it does.

Nice one Ash. I still think you will have E-Series envy! You'll be back mate, you'll be back!

Although you can't beat the T for cheap and easy power. The quickest car I've ever been in was a T with just under 300 at the rears. I saw my life flash before my eyes more than once in the 20 minutes I was in it.

Looks great Ash, makes me want to go out and buy mine early......only problem is i cant drive it on my P's

need to get this thing to Heefcut with just the intake mods. set a new record for "Fastest and Quickest BA XR6T in Venom red with NO options except floor mats, and typhoon extra intake + K&N filter on 17" street tires"

and unopened....

Well I finally got this thing on a dyno. Took her down to Nizpro for the dyno day to see what she can put down as a stocker.

Made 181 rwkW, which isn't toooo bad I guess. Same power as Sunny Now I just need to get a custom tune and crack 230

nice one ash, i wish i got to put my SS on the dyno

Prob shoulda come along and tested mine out stock aswell... too bad im such a pissed kent all weekends.. Congrats Ash if you dont do any mods before heathcote i think itll be a close race

181 for an XR6T with intake mods is pretty weak. Must be thrashed. Or your bald tires were slipping on the dyno. Meh. Dyno's are for tuning and wankers.

For an auto in that heat it's actually about spot on.

It has new tyres on the back.

And yeah I don't read too much into dynos either. I'll be driving it to Heathcote soon.

Fordmods drag day?

hell yeah

13.97 @ 101 mph. VERY happy with that

Some pics Thanks Wilson!

Car drives great Ash, thanks for taking me for a spin satday congrats on the trophy too!!

good work man, your car was on the money all night, great effort.be good to see what it would do when u start playin with it.lol

That first shot says "I want to mono!"

those photos didnt turn out too bad.
I really need to get a decent camera, woulda been awesome to get some real good shots there.

Good stuff.

I need some auto + trans cooler + shift kit + stally action.... oh the amount of work involved And, it's so much fun as a manual!

181.3kW was my old school figure Ash. It's got a fair shtload more work done to it now and I'm confident it's a got a crap load more power in it's guts now. Just need to go to a dyno day to to get it on the rollers.
