Boosted Falcon

Thanks guys always appreciate the feedback. That bootlip he made is awesome I wish he did make them! I don't think I would put an AU Classic bobtail on this car it will ruin the classy 'Force 6' look I was going for haha

For now I'm running 6PSI as I still have the standard AU pump in there. I have to be careful as it runs lean in the higher RPM. I have ordered a walbro 255 to upgrade to. The car has everything else ready to go (HD valve springs, F6 Cooler, Built BTR etc) to hit my goal of 300+kw!

Such a good daily, well done. Who built the BTR

Dunno about the daily part just yet lol. DTM Automotive in Geelong built the BTR

thats quite an upgrade now that the boost bug as hit your 300kw goal will soon be 400kw

Awesome stuff.

Currently battling some sort of lean/spark issue on the car. Anything above 5PSI boost it starts going 'drrrrrrrrr' and it completely loses power. It's got a walbro 255 pump I haven't touched the injectors yet. They are blue injectors, factory ones I assume. Bought new ford coils and I plan to gap the plugs to 0.8 hoping it will fix the issue. Any ideas?

Have you had the tune checked/had it tuned?
Exhaust and intercooler would be playing with the stock tune they were pretty touchy.
Get the coils and plugs done but tuned asap.

Yeh I had bullet performance racing look over the tune and he loaded a 9psi tune which he thinks should have got rid of any ecu related limiting. But yeh 5PSI and it misfires straight away. Frustrating issue! Changing the coils tonight, wish me luck!

Put it on a DYNO

Fixed it. The engine had old delphi coils... put brand new ford coils in and holly shit... 9psi and she goes like a rocket now lol. Spins the wheels in gears now lol!!

So much awesome! It's come a long way for sure. Did you put in the valve springs yet? I was getting some mad backfire after hitting full boost on stock psi.

Yeh its got nizpro/crow valve springs which will be good for my target kw

Awesome! I also made a mistake in my post; I was having valve spring problems at 7 psi not stock, lol! You do the valve springs yourself?

Yeh mechanic and I had to make up a tool to do the damn springs they are so much of a pain lol! Looks like my crossover pipe has started to peel the paint, I am thinking of paint stripping it entirely and giving it a fresh coat of VHT wrinkle paint. Unless someone has a good condition one they'd sell?

Nice one Alex - looks like it was meant to be there

Fun motoring ahead!

Best looking AU out!

Thanks guys, will be at AFD this year, so glad it is finally finished! Running perfect.
