🏅 Ian Porter's Falcon Ute | HALTECH HEROES |

[@TheMr0450]

Scott.. ur a natural presenter.. and very likeable at that..

[@tyronestock379]

That Ford falcon look awesome it goes really fast 670 horsepower out Race track Well done With the Engine 👏👏👏👏

[@blackmanops3749]

Tuning Fork you do an amazing job of breaking down the tech aspects for us non-experts and we thank you.

[@TimsGarage]

Love it!!! I've been wanting to do a Barra project! Need to finish the current one then this video just sealed the deal, Barra engine will be the focus of the next job for sure!

[@BCs300z]

fantastic attention to detail. A real neck-breaker on two accounts: Show and Go! Very nice.

[@miskone1044]

such a cool build. reminds me so much of the au drift ute that had a ba front and barra in it, had stuff done that most ppl just didn't bother with.

[@noahrosenheck9250]

Stay with the 497 kW number. That gives you about 666 hp. 666 hp is a hell of a good number

[@vq37vhr12]

I love the barra

[@SaMa1RaN]

just bought an fg xr6 turbo ute a couple weeks ago and loving the barra coming from a little rb20 r32 haha

[@ur2slob724]

Sama R nice torque hey

[@boosts14]

I daily a 500rwkw f6 on e85. Only differences is it Still has stock intake manifold, stock over the motor air intake and a low mount modded gtx3584r on a stock exhaust manifold. Haven't chucked a sick day in years. The drive to and from work is the highly of my day, everyday hahahhahahha.

[@kaseyeveringham2867]

What else is done mate? Like Tail shaft and ZF and that is it?

[@boosts14]

kasey everingham still runs a stock zf, truetrac, rebuildable tailshaft, intank 1000hp twin pump module, 1200 Bosch inj, valve springs, head studs, ic, 4in exhaust.

[@kaseyeveringham2867]

Fuck mate thats awesome, decently cheap, and you have a monster street car, thats mint.

[@boosts14]

kasey everingham cheers mate. The reliability and torque band/numbers is what's amazing. Next month will be four years of daily driving on 500rwkw and not one thing has gone wrong. I did have a idle pulley sound a bit suspect once, but $10 and 5 minutes of my time fixed that.

[@kaseyeveringham2867]

Yaah mate, that is exactly right, you wouldn't think a car could handle all that Torque and power on stock stuff, especially for that long, thats what is truly amazing, its kind of shitty how much these icons get over looked for Holdens haha, but 4 years is a credit in itself, insane really. how many k's have you racked up over the year?

[@THOMASTTWYFORD]

Excellent looking car, great video, look forward to more interesting builds.....

[@bigcliffe]

A most impressive build.....makes me want to have one...

[@robmanueb.]

So 750HP+ at the crank, stock internals yeeha! Love the cage.

[@haltech]

Yep, can't beat those Barra engines in terms of bang for your buck:)

[@andrewmurray6772]

hi Scott, i didn't catch what gearbox was in this ute ? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a standard Ford gearbox, but, I could be wrong ?

[@haltech]

It's got a factory six speed manual.

[@andrewmurray6772]

thanks Scott aka " Tuning Fork " ( yes, i'm a MCM fan too :) ) , thats unbelievable the factory 6 speed can handle that kind of power ! Still, that's great to know for my future build, cheers :)

[@crailleakroyd9697]

Andrew Murray they have the t56 6 speed

[@jkflorida]

I really want that engine! Something different here in the states!

[@haltech]

They're very popular in Australia. Makes us wonder why Ford never imported them into the States.

[@miskone1044]

they're used as industrial motors and in forklifts on lpg with a much lower peak power and peak rpm. I find it even funnier that they'd do that and not put it in some cars as well!

[@diarmuidmarsden7752]

JKFlorida pretty insane you can get an engine that can easily push 500hp for 1500 dollars.

[@miskone1044]

They will do 500rwkw/670rwhp on e85 no drama. The f6 motors will do a good amount more than that!

[@goodkill1]

It's definitely an interesting engine for sure, but the ford 3.7 is a very underrated engine as well. The 3.7 has a forged crank, 4 bolt mains with side bolt reinforcement. With ti-vct and coil pack ignition e85 is an easy possibility. unlike the Ecoboost 3.5 there is no direct injection so upgrading is easier. In my particular swap situation I used a 2013 Ford edge sport 3.7(fwd), that I got for $481 with core charge, and attached it to an mt82 6speed transmission ($187 W/tax rwd). The fwd motor directly bolts to both the mt82 and 6r80(auto) transmissions when you use a mustang/f150 oil pan&pickup absolutely no modification needed. yes, in theory you could use a turbo 3.7 with a f150 4x4 transmission W/transfer case & proper body modification. Given the 2017 focus RS has the same ecoboost 2.3 that is in the Ecoboost mustang I have a theory that the 6 speed AWD transmission also shares the same bolt pattern as the 3.7(which is also the same as the 3.5 5.0 and 5.4{Shelby}) I do doubt the AWD transmission could handle the torque output of the 5.0/5.4 Here is the real kicker, I have heard the 3.7 weighs either 300 or 360lbs. I haven't hooked mine up to a fish scale but if anyone has one in Florida hit me up.

[@jacobmoses3712]

He deleted the right headlight to make a cold air intake. Similar idea to the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, although with the Hellcat, the air flows through the headlight. Brilliant

[@hassanm8329]

mint sideburns dude, nice car too haha

[@ElmarDylong]

Are there any hillclimb races in Australia like Pikes Peak in the US? Just a question that came to my mind as a saw that awesome cagework and wing.

[@haltech]

We've got hillclimb races but not the size and scope of Pikes Peak, that event is pretty unique. There used to be one similar in New Zealand but they don't do it any more.

[@PhillipMikeHunt]

Yeah it's called mount panorama.

[@HenryDarr]

My car is the sedan version of this, same color and 400kwatw just need that high mount, injectors, turbo and haltec and my builds complete 11 years in the making just destroys single plate clutches.

[@Camhin1]

Love how after the MCM video everyone knows about Ford BARRA engines. Love it, but I hope they don't go up in price. Also utes ftw.

[@miskone1044]

lol they wont, there would be so few ppl in the car community that aren't aware of what a barra is or what it can do.

[@Camhin1]

misk one in Australia yes but most Americans have never heard of them. :)

[@miskone1044]

don't think the price will be influenced by much at this point, hopefully not anyway lol I make wiring looms and flash pcms for barra conversions!

[@Burn377]

Barras are a dime a dozen especially the dedicated gas units which have great rods in them. Doubt a heap of Americans would start importing them to the states as they don't have any aftermarket gear over there for them.

[@alycestapleton]

Camhin1 bullshit American and other people know about the barra engine since it came out back in 02 you muppet and mcm are clowns no real clue about car because there just payed to do a show with all those sponsors and they have all this help from all over not to mention free fucking parts that would cost most people a very long time because paying bills list goes on makes it hard enough to put together a grest car tho most of there cars are rubbish because everyone has a Subaru or 180sx dirft shitbox even that bug they built ,one of my cars will beat all those car in everyway ,and i dnt own anything special just a old bmw

[@patrick9761]

300zx subframe YES! r230 love both vehicles have a couple of Barras:)

[@ethownzbh]

Anyone else here to find out more about the Barra after seeing MCM's latest project?

[@haltech]

We'll be doing a full tech drill-down on MCM's Cresta very soon:)

[@2burning2turning]

Check out the FPV F6E, its top of the line car with the factory fitted engine.

[@sic04250f]

best aussie 6 ever made.

[@2burning2turning]

rochiii check out the F6E, much better car than the G6E. There is a couple for sale on gumtree at the moment. The auto is a perfect combination with the turbo 6.

[@mountainconstructions]

No

[@NovaRedHead]

So a bit late, joined recently and watching the older hero videos. We really need these Falcon Utes in the states and the Barra sounds like a Ford version of the AMC 242 on steroids. Seen a few videos on them and it's like my feelings towards the R34 GTR, can't get enough because I can't have it. 👍🤙

[@TripleJ85]

Inspiration for the Cresta? Sounds like a very similar setup! They are great engines - the rest of the car usually claps out well before the engine does.

[@Camhin1]

Chris Bourne it's a very common set up for a Barra.

[@jimclarke1108]

Barra a legendary engine

[@Cinda04]

Who did he say did the wiring? Looking for a good company to do my car

[@elliot7179]

Sound is a bit weird this episode but a bloody cool build

[@crailleakroyd9697]

new Zealand also got the Barra in the ba falcon back in 2002

[@brockbain8656]

Yeah, BA onwards was the death of the mighty single cam :-(

[@mastadriver]

makes sense!

[@sardjantube]

love it!!

[@litafcomics9435]

Go do a 'haltech heroes' video with HP Logic in Florida :)

[@tdlaustralia7791]

Very cool

[@TMWNN78]

Really wanted to hear this beast running :(

[@GregLysien]

Nic Wechter they start it up at around 2:16

[@TMWNN78]

Yeah but i meant running under load. :(

[@RangerDanger720]

Question for a newbie..does stock internals mean that everything in the engines hasn't been modified? Pretty much factory?

[@haltech]

Inside the engine, yes. If rods, pistons, crank etc are factory it's generally considered the engine has "stock internals"

[@RangerDanger720]

@@haltech wow thats amazing thank you for the info...technically saying if l wanted to turbo my grand dads NA Ba its possible to do with making any changes to the engine?

[@haltech]

It's possible though it's probably a much better idea in the long term just to swap for a turbo engine. And if you're doing that then get the BF engine.

[@RangerDanger720]

@@haltech Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@darthvader8433]

Did this motor start out as a N/A Barra, or a turbo?

[@aussieninja23]

:( they didn't talk about the gearbox i was curious FG 6 speed ?

[@haltech]

It's a factory six speed manual transmission.

[@Mcevoy91]

Seems to be an issue with the video sound, dipping sharply. Anyone else notice?

Ain't that the truth....

I hate import restriction I want the holden/ford ute so bad

[@denniss4780]

haltech how much is it roughly to reprogam a xr6t to a na ecu an bem?

You'd need to talk to your tuner about that.

[@satoisme]

Does anyone know of an importer in Australia that would ship one of the barras to the states?

[@rwilko9525]

22lb on stock head bolts! Whaaah?

[@udownwito.p.p4153]

Oh shit I thought you were Optic Crimsix :)

[@stevensayalath2774]

Scott, what is your email? i had a question on which haltech ecu would you recommend for a 2GR-FSE v6 into a TE72 (KE70) corolla.

[@haltech]

You can send your email to [e-mail]

[@stevensayalath2774]

Haltech thanks!

[@stevensayalath2774]

and by the way, Australia gets all the good stuff when it comes to cars, that falcon is a beast.

[@MaStars22]

why not use a FG sedan rear end ?

[@darrylwilbur877]

I wonder how many of these will be still around in 10years. I can see the Americans buying them all up after this and the MCM video

[@andersjjensen]

na, they all shout "do an LS swap!" no matter what...

[@blackmanops3749]

I'm thinking the left biased/offset engine would make it difficult to accommodate steering and brake parts in the bay?

[@onecrak]

i didn't hear what gearbox?

[@STRGHTSXBNZ]

The death of the JZ-engine hype. Finally.

[@vahvelpoiss]

it seems like JZ engines aren't good enough for ozzies :D

[@Camhin1]

Anti Rästa they're expensive down here, so why spend the my when you get a BARRA.

[@miskone1044]

the trans options are expensive as well :/

[@vahvelpoiss]

I dont know about the prices, because I live actually in the Northern Europe and both options are expensive here. locals here prefer the BMW M50B25 non-vanos or single-vanos engines for turbo or stroker projects. downside here is salt that's been put down on roads in cold seasons causing cars to corrode away. thinking of all that I actually want to visit Australia to see the car culture over there :)

[@miskone1044]

lol can say for sure that our falcons and commodore would not survive salted roads! some models rust well enough without any help there. our car culture is a bit strange as its so broad yet so fragmented. but we love fast loud cars and will always credit something for being different in a positive way. we also love something thrown together in a shed with some mates and some beers that turns out functional, which is why this gets such high praise. its a bit more pro than a couple mates in a shed but it hasn't been handed off to some workshop to do it all and it has some epic engineering put in to it.

[@haltech]

There are plenty of big horsepower JZs in Aus, but it's hard to go past a much cheaper, locally made and readily available engine:)

[@waclosh]

killer

[@boostedred_473]

hey scottie huge fan bro have a shit load of questions for u bro

[@Whiterin]

I wanna know where I can buy an FG Barra for $1500. Cheapest I've found so far is $2500...

[@Whiterin]

@Jesus H Christ Turbo?

[@Whiterin]

@Jesus H Christ Wow. Lucky find!

[@alycestapleton]

injector and a turbo well not make 500 kw good luck (valve springs list goes on) even on the s2 barra engines, and where you measuring the final power output from engine or rear wheels

[@kyle3437]

lets go crimsix

[@mikdonalds3956]

Much aero such wow

[@mariaalvarado3479]

They should call ur Aussie Falcon a Ranchero.

[@brockbain8656]

no, it should be called a falcon because its a falcon.

[@floorit3669]

[@haltech]

We actually checked on Gumtree for these a couple of months ago and found a few for under $2K. #truestory.

[@pilotobajista]

you didnt fire it up... :(

[@GregLysien]

Guillermo Tebar At 2:16 right after the bonnet comes off they start it up and give it a couple of revs.

[@pilotobajista]

@greg lysien, yes you are right, but no exhaust sound neither anti-lag... just some poor revs. This is what I meant. Thank you by the way.

[@shenghan9385]

not all barras are made equal. Lol. Mine is pretty shit oridinary NA with an old age.

[@paulmader1052]

Awesome car but that wing is super funny why would you put that on there

[@haltech]

Downforce?

[@pingapete666]

Definitely not $1500 from the wreckers nowadays Usually I see them go for $4000-$6000

[@skiduplightup6962]

a ute and pick up are completely different a ute is a car with a bed and a pick up is a truck with a bed pretty simple

Skid up Light up some Utes have different trays including beds

[@adrianbarbagallo9159]

Skid up Light up "pick up with a bed" is still called a ute
