Can You TURBO a NA Barra? Dyno Tune & Power Numbers | TURBO Your NA Barra Pt 9

[@BrowneysGarage]

We have been back to Heathcote Park Raceway now, so time guesses have closed. New video will be out soon to show what time we ran and announce the winner, and thanks to all those who entered!

[@jtsn667]

about time someone has gone deep into a na turbo setup

[@BrowneysGarage]

Thanks very much mate, glad you’ve enjoyed. Don’t forget to check out some of the other guys if you haven’t, Ross Holland and Old Skool Only to name a couple (hopefully I got their names right!)

[@jtsn667]

@@BrowneysGarage yeah bro will do, I'm looking at doing a SC or turbo setup on my Sy 05 territory and majority of stuff applies to the territory so these vids are interesting The territory is my first na Barra lol so it needs boost badly

If I’m slower to reply to comments than normal, it’s because I’m away on holidays getting fatter and probably sunburnt! Hope you enjoy the video and I’ll try get back to everyone when I can 👍

If your car isn't set up for 1/4 mile times, base its capability on mph

[@JTCambridge]

I’m at 173rwkw with mild mods on a n/a Barra 182. Great engine! Basically current level petrol engine tech (dual vvti level, Honda I-Vtec level) from a car built in 2005 once I got the bf cam control flashed into it. 13.15 is my guess

[@Wintersgarage_]

Awesome to see more NA turbos being done, i made 411kw at the hubs on mine and wasn't able to kill it!

[@BrowneysGarage]

Don’t give me bad ideas 🤣

[@EthanD19]

How’s it going now? Is it still viable?

[@Wintersgarage_]

@@EthanD19 never had a problem with it man, a good tuner is crucial ! I pulled the engine out to start setting up my 180sx and since then engines been built and aiming for 1000+ we pulled the sump to have a look and it still looked new !

[@EthanD19]

@@Wintersgarage_ this makes me believe in my current one that I want to do. Engine has ~260psi across all cyl BF Mk2 fairmont and I want to turbo swap it and run it safely through the ZF. If it were you … well did you trust it as a daily? Those skinny rods. Thanks for replying btw.

[@spiritlevelstudios]

If calls to action made power you'd have 900 rwkw

[@SouthernCrossMotors]

Awesome stuff!! Great to see it running and tuned. Hard to guess the numbers as it was on a different dyno but I reckon 14.515@101.35 will be close to the mark.

[@BrowneysGarage]

Great to be finally driving it hard! Different dyno but numbers seem to be pretty fair to the old one so a good indication anyway. You may be around the money there, let’s see!

[@danielflood454]

I think you're in the mindset to squeeze a little bit more from it so might as well do the injectors and boost controller. Been an awesome build so far

[@BrowneysGarage]

Think it would happen one day. Really want to play with getting a turbo ECU in and working, should be very doable and change it up a lot! Thanks mate

[@lazyaz2750]

​@@BrowneysGarage ive looked into it alot and it seems like a bit of work. you will need to get the BA Turbo ECU, loom, ABS module and TCM ideally all from the same car. if theyre not from the same car as the ECU you need to get the ABS module programmed to the ECU (which ive read can be done with forscan ) then will need to get the TCM paired with the ECU which your tuner could do

[@steely1neverwane]

Thanks for the very informative video mate. Im considering doing this to my 07 Futura wagon to help with heavy towing duties. I'm not interested in 0-100 or quarter mile times, I simply want a heap more low rpm torque. It's either this or engine swap for factory turbo motor.

That would be a lot of fun, and some really nice gear there. More and more people giving me bad ideas on the stock bottom end!

[@maxrockatanksyOG]

I put a Vortech V2 on my old BA XT ex police duty car. You can make good power & torque easily & safely if you arent chasing Horsepower Heros level of power (307kw on a stock unopened bottom end, with only cams & oil pump done on my old Barra 180). Besides the supercharger kit, the only mods i did were: Cams Oil pump Engine oil cooler (thermostat style). I had a lot of fun in my BA, ran some good times, made good safe power, great cruiser, regular engine services & TLC= reliable car

[@BrowneysGarage]

Damn good power mate, guessing the supercharger helped ramp it in slower too. Great bang for buck by the sounds of it, and you’re definitely not helping me want to keep going for more!

I have similar goals for an NA FG motor -- one big problem is I'm across the world from you at this time -- the engine is going into a 2000 Mustang and I'm also a newb to doing anything with a turbocharger. I've literally purchased nothing for the build yet so I'd be very interested in your recommendations if you could possibly spare some time.

[@rype7070]

wild guess and say 13.9

14.40 for the new setup

Firstly I must say a huge thank you for the hoodie and T shirt. They are great quality too! The hoodie is awesome and by chance I am wearing it now. Turned up perfectly to keep me warm for this cold snap. I'll try the T shirt in the warmer weather. If I didn't win these I was going to at least buy a hoodie. Very pleased with guessing the power. I'll have a go at the 1/4 mile time and reckon you'll crack the 13's with a 13.987. I wouldn't know the speed though. I'll see if I can make it up to see you race it. Would be good to meet you too. Enjoy your break and Thanks again!

[@BrowneysGarage]

Hey Browney, Excellent video as usual mate, My guess for the 1/4 mile is 13.712 Unfortunately I won’t see you there as I’m in WA 😁👍

[@BrowneysGarage]

Not sure we’ll make 13’s this time but I can hope 👍. Thanks very much mate

[@slalomhokko]

Why didn’t youmove the wastegate reference to the inlet manifold or the cold side pipe after the intercooler? This could have fixed the low boost at high rpm on the dyno. (Possible make the creep issue worse too though)

[@BrowneysGarage]

Was more concerned with it working how it was! Inlet manifold would cause a vacuum leak out the wastegate (poor seal for this I believe) but stay tuned, I’ve been working on something for exactly this idea 👍

Great job Browny. Your video’s are all ways excellent and very informative. What was the 0-100 figure you have been able to get out of it with the new setup? That seems to me to be the gain you can use everyday. Thanks in advance for your efforts

[@BrowneysGarage]

Thanks Steven. Very good point, not something I believe I have from the NA or Turbo set up yet but maybe something I can look at. Have a Dragy there I could have a go with, one hesitation however would be that people will immediately compare that to factory quoted/magazine figures - those are normally in perfect conditions with testers that have NO regard for the car surviving haha

[@awesomusmaximus3766]

I'd rather NA an NA harder

[@ebv8]

I'm going to guess 13.791 for your quater time. I have a question maybe it's in one of your videos but when you drove it before the tune did you run the na map sensor or the turbo map? Thanks and love your work and enjoy your holiday!

[@BrowneysGarage]

Was mentioned in one of the earlier videos but all good. When I drove it at all with the turbo it already had a tune and turbo MAP sensor. Sent the ECU out to my tuner for a base tube so it would be safe to do so. Have heard of guys driving converted cars to the tuners with the NA MAP sensor as long as you keep it off boost (not guarantees though!) but got no hope with turbo MAP and no tune, be surprised if it would run at all. Hope that answers the question and thanks very much mate 👍.
