Hi Everyone,heres my eb V8 Turbo

[shannon360]

Hi All
I joined up a couple of weeks ago but have been cleaning up my car abit since i bought it about 3 weeks ago so have waited till now to show it off.
AS some will see it was previously owned by another member of these forums and you might remember it,I first saw it advertised on ebay and loved it so i ended up with it,AND I COULDNT BE HAPPIER.
Lucky for me all the hard work has been done by the previous owner,i have just added a couple of things and have more plans for it.

[ed40]

Love the car! Please take those gay arse tail lights off though! And get that garnish colour coded asap!

[LUXO_8]

great to see it's still around, its an awesome car...

new factory tail lights and fairmont ghia garnish would look mint

[morego]

Hey champ, not bad set up.
what power you got and what rpm it come on boost?
cheers

[LOW_XR]

loose the gay lights as said and paint engine bay. other than that its sick

[NUT347]

respect!! seen this around on ebay and carsales a bit, never saw any engine bay pics tho. i think it has 221kw@wheels on stock ecu? and its got a gt35/40

looks mint man, just wish my car was as reliable as that

[Frost]

Did this car make like street fords DVD or something once?

[XH5LWEPN]

Yep, plenty of tidying up to do. Once its done it will be a very nice car, it already is sweet.

[theboss290]

yeah it was on a sf dvd i remember the roof lining flapping around curse of a e series!! I inquired about buying it but he had already traded it in on a AU XR6 and cash difference!! Will be a top car once a couple of things have been fixed up

P.S. loose the clear tail lights or like I said nightshades FTW lol tint them up

[EF ECTIV]

remember seeing this on street fords dvd one time.... paint is mint, change those
fuckin tail lights asap though.... that shit looks terrible...

[Ef_frmnt]

no no no dont listen to them... keep the taillights... and sell me the turbo kit...

[Dezza]

P.S. loose the clear tail lights or like I said nightshades FTW lol tint them up

It's in Street Fords #46 complete with tinted Fairmont garnish and taillights. IMO it is a great looking car, and would go well too but as others have said those new taillights look terrible. If you still have the old taillights and garnish, you should put them back on as they looked awesome.

[edfairmont4.0]

Beast! but have to agree with everyone.....Tail lights true turd....

[Kilma]

Very nice car. Some interesting piping through there.

[Kyle the ED4LTR]

get the old lights back on and the car will be rolling in pure mintness

looks clean as mate, lights just spoil it.

[shannon360]

So i guess no one likes the tail lights,fair enough,im not 2 keen on them either but put them on cause i bought them(looks like i wasted my money) although i think they might look alrite if i could tint them,does anyone know what to use to tint them as the taillights that were on the car when i bought it were tinted,if i cant tint these new lights i will put the old ones bak on.
I know this might be a stupid question but what the hell do you all mean by garnish.
It was in street fords no 46 and was also on street fords on location volume 5.
As for the turbo, Wes who previously owned it said it was 217rwkw at 8 pound boost,i have it set at 6 and its fast enough for the street,and yeh,its very reliable,i use it every day at the moment,love drivin it.
Next big step is to change the diff as the spoolled diff is a pain in the arse on the street and paint the engine bay

[t1MMy]

The garnish is the middle section between the tail lights located on the boot lid.
Yours is black, and it would look better if it was the same colour as the rest of the car.

[EFFalcon]

hell no... don't paint the garnish.

Tint the lights and it'll look fantastic.

[shannon360]

Thought that was what everyone meant by the garnish,it is a fairmont one but has been tinted,i do have some normal coloured ones lying around.
And i have also put the taillights that came with the car back on,thats what i love about these e series cars,there so easy to work on,if you dont like it,it only takes a minute to change it back

[BI6TIM]

That looks heaps better! Leave it like that.

Nice car, although I'd like to see what it's capable of with a bunch more boost and an ECU.

[shannon360]

would anyone know were a good place is to get an ecu from sydney,this turbo and other things on the car are all new to me,im used to messin around with 70s cars so its all learning for me

[Commando]

Love this car!!!

Was the speed-cutout ever sorted out? If I remember correctly it would cut out at 180 (well, 140ish but due to the diff telling the speedo otherwise it would cut out at "180") and could "only" manage high 14s due to this?

[shannon360]

It still cuts out at that speed,been told by previus owner a new ecu will sort that prob out

[AaronEF8]

Looks mint with the tinted lights/garnish on it.

Is there another build thread about this car? I haven't seen it before and it looks interesting. Do you have any pics of the plumbing around the turbo?

Some block-splitting potential there, and it'll come on boost nice and quick with the GT35/40 I imagine

[travs ea-xr6]

looks awsome with the tinted lights and garnish,did you just use night shade spray,how many coats did you do,im interested in tinting my lights to

[shannon360]

The lights were already tinted when i got the car,i forgot to ask what he used
There is another thread on this car from the previous owner

[NUT347]

god i miss my turbos

love this car man, i say chuck an ecu in it straight up and boost it!!!!

looks to me they ditched the a/c compressor like it did, get heaps more room that way. do you know who did the work?

[Rollin]

The dark tail lights look about a jillion times better, car looks sexual.

Good luck with the computer man, you should get some very good power and stump-pulling torque out of it!

[pantic]

awesome ride.. welcome to the forums +1000 on fitting the fairmont garnish / std eb/ed lights with tint

[Bazza J]

sweet EB man, thats the colour im hoping to paint my EA loks like a nice setup, the tinted lights and garnish make it look mint

[ebv8]

its hard to look at it with those number plates
i was going to put the clear tailights on it too but never got around to it.
paint the spare black garnish blueprint and paint the reflector stripe on the new tailights blueprint too. need to fit reflectors somewhere and maybe a truck supply shop has decent looking stickon ones.

turbo kit was made by mike's dyno tuning in vic.

i got a quote from adaptronic for the ECU they are in crows nest and was $2200 drive in drive out plus larger injectors
look out for some 36lb or 42lb injectors second hand maybe try american forums.

i look forward ot seeing it again

Wes

[boostedbb]

gotta say i love this car mate looks awesome how is the auto holding up i used to drive an eb 5.0l and the auto was just shit and a mate has a eb 5.0l with a supercharged and the auto lasted about 20 mins?

[SnipeZ]

Mate. to tint ya tail lights you need a can of 'Nite Shades'
super cheap sells it.

really nice car too. love the color

[SnyperEB]

Love this car man! Nice pick up. Not sure about the extensively long cooler pipeing if the was only a way you could shorting the root of it cause you may be having a little lag problem. Otherwise hell yeah nice car!!

[FOR.0EL]

This car looks freaking great! looks 100 times better with them tail lights garnish..

[blueoval]

Thats one tough looking EB. Love it

[DEVLXR]

Nice car, always loved it, leave the tail lights alone now, they are perfect for the car. Clear tail lights look homo, and so does colour coded boot garnishes!

This car would look even better with the MMM side skirts and body moulds put back on!

Anyway, good purchase and good luck with it.

[StockEB]

I agree it would look great with colour coded body moulds put on it.

[ebv8]

here it is with bodymoulds

they were the wrong profile for the bars
i couldn't find any that looked like the ones used on the original scorcher

anyway shannon do what you like to it and remember to keep the pics coming
