Mods For My Ea series II

[FairmontEAseriesII08]

Just wondering what i can do to get some extra power out of her without changing too much. It's a Fairmont, Ea series II, 1990, auto. i think 3.9l straight 6.

doesn't have EFI

Really would like some help.

[naz0]

Turbo

[Damo]

MPFI

then ban!

[Gunns]

petol + matches = win

Mpfi conversion is the first step

[Dansedgli]

High flow the carby if its not efi.

[Commando]

Welcome to the forums mate, search.php can reveal a lot of info. Or, look through the tech section

Oh, your EA needs cowbell!

[glenneaux]

MPFI conversion u say??

[FairmontEAseriesII08]

thanks for that guys, i was thinking of switching the carby to a high flow one.

cheers for the help

[Malakai]

Easy, guys.. I put my pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make CFI Series II EAs go fast...

[serial_fool]

Yeah replace the carby on a EA Series 2....

Its a CENTRAL POINT INJECTION setup, not carby.....which means suprise, suprise its an EFI car.

No, It's got a carby, i know because i had to strip it down to get to the carby.

[Dansedgli]

Dont listen to them mate.

Go to Ford and order some "Performance carby jets" for your EA and chuck them in. I think they only cost $6 or so. They will liven the car up heaps.

Show us a pic of your carby setup mate

[FairmontEAseriesII08]

will do, shes not running at the moment.

Distributor has died.

my car is very unique, somehow i ended up with S pack rims, on the front 2 wheels.
but the back 2 have hotwires.
very unique.

[holmsy]

i would also love a picture of this carby setup

[67rce]

alright, Damo, why did ya set up another account lol, and show up teh carby setup and unique wheels, my EF is unique too, it somehow ended up with FTRs on the front and EL Ghias on the rear

[FairmontEAseriesII08]

yeah will do, i'll take some pics when i replace the dizzy.

they put the airfilter in a bastard of a place. the casing is bolted to the top of the engine, so the bolts pretty much get welded to the engine when it heats up.

[FairmontEAseriesII08]

lol

[EAHVYA]

some pics of the engine would be good thanks

Well, I'm guessing you typed up that first post with the car in it's current state (sitting on your nature strip with overgrown grass where your lawnmower couldn't reach because it obviously doesn't run). So, going by that, making it run would give you more power than you currently have.

Current power = 0kw
After distributor = 111kW (EA CFI is 120kW, carby XF equivalent was 111kW so you must have that much power at the FW)

111kW increase from changing a distributor FTW.

After that do the carby jets.

I did this on a EGAS BF2 XR6 and it doubled the power.

Fukk im bored 55 minutes till home time.

haha, nah it's only been sitting there for a week. pay day tomorrow so i'll get the dizzy then.
i'll get some picks up of it's engine soon.
it's very stock.

[Commando]

Make sure you buy a CFI dizzy

Having a carby would make it rather unique, so I wouldn't call it stock

PS bolts welded to the engine?

[pHaT`eL]

Grass grows pretty quick ey!!

[FairmontEAseriesII08]

yeah when i take a pic of the engine i'll explain about the bolts...

it's been raining alot in brissy, grass grows very quick lately.

[pHaT`eL]

Does it look like this?

[FairmontEAseriesII08]

almost exactly like that.
see how the housing for the air filter is connected to the top of the engine.
that bolt that connects the engine and the housing hadn't been undone for years, quite annoying to loosen.

my engine is slightly cleaner

[pHaT`eL]

Hate to break it to ya.. thats CFI.. not carby..

[Commando]

Nice gorilla-grip on the battery there Petey! Needs to be rotated clockwise a bit more...

[FairmontEAseriesII08]

embarrasing.

yeah i just checked, it's very much fuel injected.
sorry guys.

when i get it running i'll get some decent pics, i got that dint on the back panel quoted, it's gonna be cheap to fix

yay

[G3R3N]

lulz, does it have a winder mechanism to start it too?

[Commando]

tis all good, you've learned it's injected. Better than "upgrading" by purchasing a bigass carby and *then* finding out...

[simon5574]

PM stalker on this forum, i think he has similar uniqueness

[G3R3N]

Yeah, carby'd E-series have bad luck with kias

[ebmonty92]
