Trav's N/A Bf xr6

by **Trav199** » February 26th, 2011, 1:50 am

okay so i didnt get to the track hahaha ran into alittle trouble lol

Anyhow had us stumped for ages and thro many disscussions with atomic and prodyno it seem to be verified that the VCT failed.. anyhow result was inlet valves meeting pistons.. 1 valve breaking off and decideing to destroy everything. Also wrecked a rim

wont hold air

Future- New atomic head done with new valves and so on, New forged pistons and rods

, billet oil pump and gears, hopefully will all be done within the next few weeks

.. Also had Kaaz centre and 3.7s installed.. lost alittle hp reading.. 319.7rwhp..

On the up side i now have a alloy radiator. Also due to being over wrecking mags and doing tyres due to our shocking roads in central Qld i have opted for some 18s.. I wanted these in 19s but didnt have them. So 18s it was.. They are staggered fit.. 8.5 front 9.5 rear

Thoughts?

Dunno about 18's on a ba/bf, they have some decent dish but you'll need offset and dumpage to pull it off. I heart flush.

Sucks about the engine dude

by **Trav199** » February 26th, 2011, 8:36 pm

yer hopefully wont be long till im up and running again.. lol went for a cruise with a few turbo boys.. worst thing ever.. I WANT BOOOOST!!!

Yer dump i will lower it more with the 18s on.. hope they look okay..

by **Trav199** » March 12th, 2011, 8:59 pm

hey guys got abit more on my car for those who are interested

.. Anyhow Atomic a doing up another head for me, which is about 2 weeks away.

Doing a full rebuild now so we have sourced some custom forged pistons and scat rods from ROSS in usa. So about 4 weeks until we see them.. The block is off to get bored out to suit the custom pistons.

Also atomic billet oil pump will be installed for when we are able to rev it out to 7000+rpm.. Also ditching the VCT gears for atomic vernier adjustable gears. CAI should also be done by the time car is back on the road. Then it will be ready for some gas

Agree, you've gone this far sticking n/a so don't go nos. Stick to your guns and stay n/a.

by **Trav199** » April 5th, 2011, 6:56 pm

Hey guys abot of an update i guess.. I revieved the 18s.. sat em on car didnt really think they suited(not be enough haha) so I have brought some Vertini Fairladys in 20x8.5 and 20x10. Carnt wait for them to arrive

Also motor is pretty much ready to go back together just waiting for pistons to arrive

Thought i would post up my last dyno sheet before valves kissed pistons

by **Trav199** » April 8th, 2011, 9:03 am

by **SNR** » April 9th, 2011, 9:48 am

Great to see someone pushing the boundaries with the NA DOHC 4L.. suddenly a DOHC conversion for my EB is looking like it might be a good choice for my driving style :drinks2:

by **Dumpsta** » April 11th, 2011, 8:05 pm

Travi, send me a text sometime bro. Reset my iphone and lost all my contacts.. haha.

When do you get ya car back? And you got time off yet for me wedding?

hahaha dunno bout car man... everything seems to be taking ages!! haha yerr sure do lad!

by **BROCKYB8** » April 19th, 2011, 8:45 am

Well ive got a suggestion.
You should bring your car to summernats next year .
Would be good to see this up there .

by **Dumpsta** » April 19th, 2011, 8:17 pm : **Dansedgli Likes this post**

Two 12 second n/a falcons at summernats.. ? I reckon that would be a bit much for you Brocky. Oh wait, sorry, theres only one. And thats when 'someone else' is behind the wheel of your car. So to speak, when your driving.. its not actually going to run a 12 second quarter? Dont get me wrong, I reckon your car is the ducks nuts.. and with the new power you have, hope you manage to get an aanother awesome et. but tired of hearing skepticism on 'this' car.

Id love to see you run a 12.xx trav just to shut a few people up.. Myself, I dont care what it runs, Im just looking forward to going for another spin in it and going for some cruises. Cars with $$$ spent are pointless shut away in sheds and workshops

And thats what Ill be doing when I get mine up this way..

by **burnt turtle** » April 19th, 2011, 9:01 pm

cool story hansel

by **Dumpsta** » April 19th, 2011, 9:15 pm

Don't worry about Brocky, he likes to shitcan any NA eseries except his

Including my old NA banger when NA SOHC's used to be cool :drinks2:

by **Trav199** » April 19th, 2011, 10:25 pm

hahaha suggestion considered.. hahaha dont worry to much dump there is always a few.. i have done everything to prove it makes good power and still they complain.. haha sooo keen tho to go for a drive aye! hope you wife(in a few weeks) will let you hahaha to be honest i dont care what it runs down the 1/4 mile coz i didnt build it to run down the quarter.. once i get it back it will be my daily again.. id be happy with a low 13 in street trim. should be able to since i ran a 13.7 on 19s and standard diff gears and non lsd with 207rwkw.. so guess with 3.7s kaaz centre and more power i should go alittle quicker haha.. At the end of the day i built it to drive it and enjoy it

hopefully i dont break it again

.. hahaha dump i free may day wknd onwards if you need another hand getting your car sorted for your wedding.. lol

hahaha cheer needfordspeed.. eh there is always someone out there whos going to top you.. haha just funny i posted up a dyno sheet that they wanted to see with rr@125 and it still made more power then his plus it also had 3.7s compared to when it went 247rwkw with 2.8s.. didnt say much then...

I said on another forum. It doesnt bother me that you have more power. It gives me something to aim for . Plus i hope you do run a good time. I just would love to see a ba/f run low 13 high 12 .

Dumpsta you dick.

As for summernats i just thought it be good to see it go on the same dyno together. Some light hearted fun . But oh know you have to try turn like im having a go at him.

by **burnt turtle** » April 20th, 2011, 12:08 am

is there really a comparison happening between a DOHC and a SOHC 4L???

sorry i didnt know you were the saying police sir

by **Dumpsta** » April 20th, 2011, 5:58 am

That's fair enough but there seemed to be a fair bit of erm, cockiness in your own thread regarding this car. I got nothing against you at all brocky and your most likely a top bloke but you've just always done the little bit you can to bs travs car.

We know you broke the milestone but someone elsevwill do the same, I'd love to see you keep pushing your car further to make that interesting.

by **BROCKYB8** » April 20th, 2011, 7:25 am

Well i still going to push i dont care who is around me .

No only thing i wanted to do is prove about ramp rate. As soon as i put up the difference Trav put up his shootout 6 one .

by **BROCKYB8** » May 5th, 2011, 12:47 pm

i just found out there is a bf ute down here in melb that now has 210 and went 12.9 last month
Looks like you have a bit of competition for the DOHC

Or maybe something to chase after

by **Trav199** » May 11th, 2011, 7:34 pm

haha awesome stuff.. gives me hope that mine will get into the 12s.. haha plenty of compertition up here to. mate is start on his fg na xr6 in september..

Anyhow PISTONS AND RODS have arrrived!! haha

only took 2 months

anyhow block and pistons off to machine shop this week

should hopefully be going back together next week or week after

now just have to work out what to do with the auto...

<3 DOHC. Good to see a serious NAbuild in a BA. I was gonna do it to mine but I'll just cheat and add boost.

by **Trav199** » May 16th, 2011, 5:58 pm

haha cheers for comments guys.. for now until we find a option the 6speed will stay in it.. anyhow i have few pics of some goodies that arrived

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » May 16th, 2011, 7:15 pm

Seems strange seeing this stuff to go in an n/a motor

What comp is it going to be running?

by **Trav199** » May 16th, 2011, 7:56 pm

haha i know.. in ways it still does feel like a waste.. but eh dont work for no reason.. would really love to be doing the rebuild my self so i know how it went together but just dont have the time to..

i never planed to rebuild it or go this far

old compression was at around 11.1.. this time it will be up around 12.1.. also have bigger injectors and fuel pump if needs be..

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » May 17th, 2011, 5:42 am

Sounds like its going to be pritty cool mate,Good luck with it!

by **Trav199** » May 17th, 2011, 10:56 pm

yerr cheers mate.. see how things go over next few weeks

by **Mr. CVE** » May 17th, 2011, 11:23 pm

Good to see quality brand name products going in your engine.
They will take everything you can throw at them.

With your level of commitment I have no doubt this will be a serious setup.
Good luck with it all.

by **Trav199** » May 19th, 2011, 12:31 am

yerr cheers mate.. Thought i might aswell do it properly. Plenty of insperation has come from BrockyB's car.. Hope fully once everything is sorted i can back it up with a good time..

by **Trav199** » September 9th, 2011, 2:17 pm
