Building a 1200HP Barra (GT350 Engine Swap)

[@jojogargaro2083]

Pfsht I was learning bmx from him back in the day

[@sendjamin]

I’m a bmx subscriber originally, but adam really turned me into a car guy, its dope to see how far he has come, crazy inspiration to work hard

[@Ryanbarbery]

the bmx days 🥺

[@junkhondas481]

I started watching to learn bmx but was stoked when he changed to cars because I was born into a family of car Lovers

Since before drifting

[@mitchellhodges5642]

It’s so cool seeing Adam using an Australian motor, especially when it’s one that is in my car over here in aus

[@bunky8077]

Yep, same here. Feeling a slight sense of pride with that engine.

[@jaadsbmx5403]

definitely makes me love my turbo ba even more hahaha

[@Belicose777]

How gnarly are those Barras? I've somewhat known about them but they've really gotten my attention. Is it the Australian 2J?

[@JordanIZbak]

Belicose777 basically, can make bulk power with only a few mods and pull like freight trains

[@bunky8077]

@@Belicose777 It sort of is but they have a few weaknesses as was pointed out in the video. In stock form the n/a engines have the thin weak rods, but the factory LPG/propane with the green cam cover and the turbo engines from 2006 onwards can take pretty big power on stock internals, but cant be revved over about 6300rpm or bounced off the limiter too much or the oil pump gears tend to shatter. The Barra is also undersquare with 92 mm (3.63 in) bore and 99 mm (3.91 in) stroke which makes them really torquey but makes the engine quite tall. Check out the video of a car called RIPSS at Summernats. It made over 2000hp using a 3.7 litre destroke crank which allowed it to rev passed 10,000rpm. Oh and remember this engine was only used in Australia and New Zealand, a combined new car market size probably equivalent to just Texas on its own. LS and 2JZ etc were sold worldwide so would have had more scope for factory development, better materials etc that limited Ford Australia

[@chrisgarcia3915]

I’m a ford technician here in the US and I’m really pumped for this build. The Barra looks so much better built than the eco boost motors I work on everyday. I’d love to build one myself one day. Gonna have to show this vid to all my coworkers lol

[@differentbydesign7603]

barra does seem pretty cool... I HAD a 2012 supercrew f150 ecoboost was a awesome truck till i started having problems with it, thing pulled good accelerating and towed really well. my experience was it Idled really rough, had high rpm misfire ending up being spark plugs around 60k miles. After that i could tell around every 10k miles they needed changed again, would start idling rough and be more hesitant. I never ran oil to full life expectancy but 1st turbo died at 99k miles and 2nd at 113k miles. motor lost oil pressure while driving in a snow storm on the 1st turbo, so i thought she was f'ed since there was only a quart left in the engine. thats why i only replaced one. bought at 50k miles and traded in at 114k miles, i honestly dont wanna deal with another ecoboost changing turbos sucked

[@sam_s_]

I had an Ecovoost Expedition what was burning oil really badly at 40k miles. I assumed it was the oil seals in turbos. You could see the smoke coming from the exhaust at idle. Luckily it was a work truck so I didnt have to deal with it.

[@bunning63]

Ford sold you short, the Barra was a development that could be traced back to the old six, 250 in Australia. Ford killed off the Barra, and given you the eco boost instead. Go Ford! Not really.

[@KAI11IRVING]

Well leave em alone cos you'll probally destroy them like every other American car guy.
