Boosted Falcon

Hey guys, new on here so thought i'd put up a bit've info and pics of my ride.

Its an 93 EBII Fairmont in Reef Green.
Had it about 4-5 years, bought it as a near mint grampas car with lots of receipts.



Soon after buying it, I fitted a CD player, fitted some King Low springs, the usual 2.5in exhaust, Pacemaker Comp headers and a set of DL LTD wheels.
A small cam was fitted, along with a CAPA chip.
The car made around 130rwkw.





Around a year later, after the head gasket went it was time for a new engine.
With XR6 Turbo conversions were still uncharted waters & out've my price range (10k+), I had a big cam NA motor built for the EB.
Few bits done to the new EL motor were a custom Crow cam, head and an EMS Stinger.
The auto recieved a 2300rpm stall & shift kit. Later came a 3.7 LSD.
A full 3inch exhaust with Lukey Race Muffler and Hot Dog Muffler is fitted.
New Showheels Ramblers were a Xmas present to myself. Unfortunatly, they were short lived after hitting a bump in the road.






Made a trip to Heathcote to run it in Dec 09.
Only got a best of 14.9@95mph. Wanted a low 14.
The auto & heat on the day together wasnt a good mix.




Not alot has changed on the car since then except the installation of a T5 earlier this year.
Also fitted was an Xtreme Clutch & B&M Pro Ripper Shifter.

Then attempting to drive to Heathcote a few months ago..........................



Another set of wheels were fitted after the broken ones.
Also filled in the exhaust cutout for a cleaner look and painted the rocker cover.





Another little thing I done was fill in the exhaust cutout. Just for something different.


And with the manual, came a little more power to the wheels.


Yesterday I had this done to the headers and a tune up.



Cheers Guys.

Cheers. It is a custom Crow job my tuner had made up.
He gave me the spec sheet that turned out to be the wrong sheet, so unknown specs.
But it shares bits from thier 2232549 & 2232546 cams

That's enormous power for NA

Amazing na power. Very nicely done!

Welcome great to see this in here . you can join the ranks of NA goodness in here .

Looking forward to see more from this

Cheers guys. Now I wanna crack 200.

shit! nice figures man! would love to know those cam specs!

seeing this car reminds me how much I miss my old car though

damn, bet you're hanging to get this back to the drags now

Awesome Power. Welcome!!

Looks like a realy neat car mate! Nice power aswell.

Sure am. Ran into some legal trouble the last few months to do with the car recently, so $$$ is a bit down for a trip over to Heathcote.
But SA has some 1/8th mile drags here soon, so im racing there.

Anyone know what a decent time would be for my car down the 1/8th?

Thanks for the comments guys!

Holy sgit thats massive performance. Great work, you have done well mate

Amyone know what 1/8mile times could I pull in this? Never seen or done 1/8 before.
As long as a change gears well, what should I aim for?
Cheers.

Nice car! Sucks about that second set of wheels, I reckon they looked great. The current ones are pretty good too though.

Good power, no idea what you'd pull on the 1/8th but if you have a really good run on the quarter you should get into the 13s...

Yeah I iked those wheels, better than the current ones too.

I think a 13 should be possible. Have to wait til the times right for a Heathcote trip again.
And depending on my gear changes.

very impresive pover figures from a n/a 6 mate

Ran my car at Tailem Bend 1/8 mile drags at the weekend.
Best was 9.57@77.45.
Gonna splash out for some drag radials for next time. Traction was a little issue.
Also think I was too soft on take off. Not giving it the revs I should've.

as said thats killer power for N/A... should def help it move along... loved the look of the
previous rims (the broken ones)....

Makes me wish I kept my manual ED....

Car looks HOT

New pic of some new wheels. I like the simple look.

that looks tough and the power to back it up makes it even tougher. good work

Cheers. Went ok at Tailem. Think I know what I need to do better.
That XE had a bit've NO2 assistance tho. But still went hard.

Today I bought a different gear knob.
The one I had was good, but suited a taller shifter. I realised I needed a rounder one to help shift quicker.

Heres a before & after.




Havent driven it yet, but feels better just changing gears in the garage.

I've noticed there isnt much selection in gear knobs around, either in shops or Ebay.

where did you get that shifter from man?? I like how the bracket comes back and then up, instead of just straight up

Got it from ebay. Decent price of about $300 to my door from the USA. Onlinespeedshop i think he was called. Its a B&M Ripper Shifter.

Did you just look up mustang t-5 short shifters?

Pretty much. But after talking to someone in the know about what to look out for i setteled on the b&m.,

How did you go in the 1/8 mile drags ?
Brockb8 should be able to give you his 1/8 mile times. You should be close to that with that power.

My 1/8mile was fairly average. 9.5 @ 75mph i think. 60ft was 2.5 i think. So yeah pretty poor.
I put it down to traction. Was only on street tyres. Ill hopefully have M/T's for the next 1/8mile next month.
On take off i was riding the clutch abit as to limit wheel spin. So hopefully the sticky tyres will let me take off harder.

Gave myself a present the other day. Had them fitted up this morning.
Hopefully they will improve my times. Otherwise im gay.

f*ck yeah!!! looks tuff on the turboblades man!!!

If cash allowed, I wanted to buy some 195's for the fronts.

was anything else done between dyno tunes from the auto to manual? didn't think it would be 18kw loss through the auto, kinda was hoping less of a loss. just curious as i'm auto and building a bit of n/a.

really nice car man, 190rwkw would be fun, and the mt's look mint on the turbo blades.

Cheers for the nice words.

When I went from auto it was around 160rwkw, then with the manual went to about 170rwkw, then my tuner done his thing and went to 180rwkw.
I had the extractors modified, cat removed and a resonator fitted then tune again that put it at 191rwkw.

Sweet as man. Any plans for a trip to the 1/4 again?
