🚀 Dyno time! OEM vs Aftermarket ECU | OGSIXE - THE FALCON EXPERIMENT - EP 1

#barra #haltech #falcon #ecuswap #daily
Welcome to the first episode in our new series: OGSIXE - The Falcon Experiment.
Over the next few weeks Scott is taking his daily driver Ford Falcon G6E and turning it into something that he can still daily drive, but also have a lot of fun in when the time is right. Along the way, he's hoping to teach Richard a thing or two about ECU tuning.
In this episode we're doing a base line dyno run with the factory ECU, then we're swapping that out for one of our Haltech Elite Pro Plug-in ECUs to see if we can wake the stock Barra engine up a bit. What sort of power will it make? Watch to find out more!

Haltech cool guys, can’t wait to see the progress. This is something I’ve been dreaming of doing to a fgx in the future.

[@dmax1479]

So damn excited for this build

[@deankdx]

being the stock ecu can be tuned also? when is it time to switch ecu's ?

[@Revoku]

@@deankdx some stock ecu's in some vehicles can be tuned very limited, and usually in sketchy ways, typically using a chip programmer and overwriting the fuel maps(done wrong can overwrite other data with various interesting side effects) and thats assuming the maker of the ECU hasn't done any horrible crap to stop you reading the firmware, when the ECU maker has stopped you from tampering instead mod companies use a bypass chip, that typically ties into the data lines from the original. these bypass chips are usually tunable in a very rough sense. A Haltech unit on the other hand is built to have everything adjusted and easily read out onto a display, it allows you to easily do, see, and adjust/fine tune so much more, way easyer. think of it like this, you want to hear what a cow sounds like, factory ECU is a babies phone with a cow button on it that says the cow goes "moo", a haltech unit is a 52" 4k UHD TV with built in youtube and voice command control showing you a video of said cows mooing.

Quite a different format of video from Haltech, needless to say it's some great content 👏👏

Glad you like it:)

[@zekzorX]

start of an epic series Tuning Fork!

[@tomfurie2996]

This is going to be a great series! I’d love to see what the bolt on stuff does WITHOUT changing the tune. That would tell the average guy what he gets with just adding go-fast bits, and then what he gets if tuned correctly. That would be an eye opener.

[@wobblysauce]

[@RallyRanchMotorsport]

It wont go that away, if youre talking engine parts. All parts they install to the car will be tuned in, thats the standard. No untuned mods

[@NBSV1]

There’s a pretty short list of things you could do before needing a tune to actually take advantage of it. An intake and some exhaust would about cover it. Even then you’d likely want a tune to take advantage of it. You could bolt on a bigger turbo and maybe keep it low enough to work with a stock tune. But, then all you’d have is similar power with more turbo lag.

[@Huda88754]

All you could do is a better intake , cat back exhaust untuned

Love how you went through the Safety aspect of dyno tuning. So many clips of people and disasters by Dyno tuning so safety good place to start.

[@bigcliffe]

This looks like its going to be one of your best series of videos. Most of us cannot afford the real race cars and in reality what most of us want is just a good every day pocket rocket that can still get the shopping done. Any excuse to use the car while satisfying all the other requirements of a slightly massaged family sedan. Do I hear Sleeper?

AWD g6e turbo coming your way end of this year. They are such a practical and comfortable car. AWD is the missing link to put the power down and make it handle like it should. Big hp cars like this needs AWD

[@ryanmalin]

For a daily, RWD is fine. You get worse mileage with AWD.

[@mitchellhayman381]

You must be a complete idiot

[@namedisclosed1849]

npx20 the whole point is so it can go around a corner better. 100k sprint less than 3s. Can’t loose it at the skid pan on cheap Chinese 245 tyres. I’d say i am pretty happy with the build. Not sure how you did yours

[@finngerrs6404]

Well done boys! Cheers!!

[@andersjjensen]

Epic idea guys! Love this longer format with a bit of dry banter and technical chitchat that doesn't get too hairy. Realistic numbers/expectations, and standard boltons is a lot more attainable to us mere mortals (not that it isn't fascinating to watch Turbo Yoda frankenstein a car out of parts from 7 brands, 29 models, 4 parts catalogues AND his own fab work).

[@mrkesh7617]

I know that Haltech's specialty is engine management so the series is a sort of 'ad' for their product. But I believe it would be worth noting that the factory ECU's tune-ability is excellent and it has proven to be very capable as it's been used quite successfully in a significant number of high horsepower builds. A good approach would be to out-line the pro's of your ECU, in comparison to Ford's factory ECM. Logging capabilities and external sensor support for example.. Should be an interesting series regardless. Cheers

Would love to see you guys do an ecu vs ecu tune. Falcons having such a tuneable ecu as it is, it'd be interesting to see what the money would buy you in the haltech system.

[@Hoggdoc1946]

I think the Haltech is much more flexible and can control much more than a stock ECU could ever do. Then there is a Haltech tuning software that makes it all come together.

[@TheWolvesCurse]

that's what a lot of folks don't get. a new ecu, a "chip tune" on a naturally aspirated engine, without any other mods, won't give you anything. also for most turbocharged cars, it's also very limited how much more power a simple ecu change can do, without any additional mods.

I'm most surprised by the amount of torque it puts out. 390 ft/lbs at the wheels Can't wait to see what happens when you turn up the boost and more. I wonder what you guys think is the next weakest link (transmission, diff, axels)? Since we know it not the engine.

[@miralemnermina142]

Barra's have weak valve springs so when you pushing a lot of boost valve float happens. But yeah probably the transmission is the next weak link
