Maxx Performance Budget Barra Turbo EA - Episode 1

[@theskidfactory]

Needs more Boof, otherwise 5/7. Zane is not bad on camera, just needs more Jacks. Camera guy is George Negus spec interrogator.

[@fullboost]

Nice work boys keen to follow :)

[@the_jordan5_page]

That car has so much history. Great to see you guys finishing what Gilly started.

[@Tony-112]

Street Machine and Scotty brought me here, I've subbed boys 👍👍

[@dinosshed]

The EA is the next enthusiasts car to build. Personally I think they look cool, they are comfy and easy to work on.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Yeah the boys !!

[@maxxperformance1613]

YTFB

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Maxx Performance i’ve got my eye on a super clean ED .......

[@maxxperformance1613]

Ohhh stop it! 🥰

[@benpaganoni8444]

grab that owners manual back !!!! you will need the PIN to reset the radio ready to cruise QLD drag challenge in couple months

[@captainxr8299]

He’s right !!

[@TheLuke2reeve]

Yea hawww!!! Keen to keep following this build! On ya max performance

[@craig84downunder]

Looks like a EA S-Pac love that model; green barra turbo interesting!

[@rcscaler78]

The green top barra supposedly has very similar internals to the red top so it suitable for turbo conversion

[@lukehindle4680]

It's a dedicated gas engine. Turbo crank and rods

[@rcscaler78]

@@lukehindle4680 that's what I thought

[@creszilla5803]

The laughter in Lindsay's voice gets me everytime.

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

REALLY looking forward to this build because I'm currently doing Barra Turbo into EA myself!!

[@leroybrown1964]

Same here

[@mg74xbgt]

Love the old EA model..... didn't when they came out , but has grown on me over the decades !!!! Now have a wagon and a sedan. Did base run with sedan recently and got Smashed by Nugget Garage BA Turbo build :) :) . 400rwkw with gas motor easy as, ours did it on 16psi :).

[@shannonjones7659]

Yes finally a step bye step build so I don't have to go through 50 thousand comments from forum wankers that don't know schit plus this style build is affordable for everyone to have fun

[@DeathBaseTURBO]

I see an EA, I see a barra, I see skidfactory comment, I see myself subscribing

[@Mo_tism]

So keen to see this build, have one of joshes ITB kits on my barra Cressida drift car I’m building and just picked up a bunky XG to do this exact swap 👌

[@glynkatkin]

How would one go about purchasing one of these ITB kits? I'd really love to put one on my Falcon, and see how far I can push it N/A.

[@auzzieperformance6551]

Hey mate I know this is long ago but did you use the standard wiring and ecu to get it to work? Looking at putting a barra in my cressida

[@mclovinnz]

Proper gem this one

[@dylanenricholeroux7163]

Hey we have the silver top 195kw Normal aspirated Barra in South Africa. Is it the same as the green top engine or what? The engines are only now being imported but there's only a few people running them. So would like to know would these mods apply to that same engine?

[@mazcatii]

Nice one mate. Subscribed straight away. One suggestion is make sure your audio is mint. Get a mic and it'll improve the quality 10 fold.

[@spiritlevelstudios]

Nice one. Good luck : ) Hope to drop around with my wagon to get some work done once I get settled in my new place.

[@donaldd1612]

You did ok on camera mate, it’s not like you got 2 heads! Keep at it boys you’re ok.. car looking decent.. ea/b is the hidden gem in 10y will be worth big coin.. not like Aus making anything again.

[@plumbs7199]

Looking forward to seeing this !

[@MrNosajwhitey]

Been looking forward to a budget EA falcon build

[@lorelleggg]

Fuck yeh that thing will be fun when it’s done! Look forward to seeing how it ends up 👍🏼

[@CHOPUPZ]

Probably been asked a million times but what are the specs on the wheels width and offset for front and rear? Looks killa.

[@BGDAV]

Good vid keep it up

[@fodenpetersen8992]

How much does it cost for the plug and play link? Thank you

[@scottandrews1334]

Ohhh a btr this will be a good one show everyone that they can work ??

[@phredflypogger4425]

Hi. I'm part way through dropping a turbo Barra into an XF Fairmont Ghia with a BTR M91LE transmission rebuilt to take 550 kw. Any idea who I should talk to about getting a wiring loom made up to get the whole thing kicking?

[@issorjmedia7770]

What size tyre is that also do u plan on doing anything to the rear suspension

[@phillbundy8567]

Interested on how you make the rack manual? Cheers in advance

[@johndoe1778]

Awesome bro

[@michaelmatusiewicz6120]

Does anyone know what box he was using?

[@Dan-oj7cd]

Very cool

[@PadmaDorjee]

I love what you guys are doing with this but how did you get a LPG motor for $400, does it have 400K kms on it?

[@chaceemond7561]

I believe the EA is gonna run 456 RWK on the first dyno test😍

[@Low760]

Good looking ea, xr seats inside?

[@Monstero5o]

Can you make the power steering manual on a Fg mk2?

[@leroybrown1964]

Anymore videos on the build? As I'm keen to do the same

[@beaujenkins2739]

Keen. Just subbed 👍🏻

[@chopperdown9114]

ea are very rare i remember when they first came out

[@DPKdesign]

What year did the bf gas motors score thd stronger rods @maxx

[@100mostlyauthentic]

All the B series egas motors had the stronger rods

[@DPKdesign]

100% Mostly Authentic why do ba have different rods in turbo motors to the bf mk2?

[@100mostlyauthentic]

@@DPKdesign When they made the AU single cam motor, Ford took a lot of weight out of the motors to make them more efficient and make more power, this included using lighter rods. This design was carried over to the Barra in the B series, but they found the Egas motors would bend rods when they backfired (curiously the single cam motors never did and the ford engineers never really figured out why). So the egas motors had slightly beefier rods made for them which I'm assuming FPV decided they would would use the same rods for the Typhoon. Come June 06 Ford decided to use the stronger rods on all turbo motors. I assume it was probably cheaper/more efficient to manufacture all the turbo motors with the same rod. When you look at the rods side by side, there's not alot of difference.

[@superhornet81]

Great work, great start, we're all keen! Sub'd :D

[@MaStars22]

You guys a funny on camera, keep the content up of the build, its an interesting build. I for sure have subscribed. Build your channel it will be very beneficial in the log run for you and the business. But....You guys have to sort out the lighting to suit cameras but. LED messes with camera equipment.

[@MaStars22]

also, if possible keep your videos over the magic 10min mark. for algorithm reasons to help your channel grow.

[@100mostlyauthentic]

@@MaStars22 It's not the LED lights specifically, it's cause they are filming at 60fps, in Australia you need to film at 50fps because our power grid runs at 50hz not 60hz like in America. You get the same effect with florescent lights too.

[@danielspencer1973]

Nice build, get some lapel mic's!

[@urabusliberty9258]

A green top interesting

[@mikedubya9313]

Yeah na thats fwucken deadly ayyy

[@andrewbax6761]

I see alot of people use gas barras why is that? Cause there cheap ? Or stronger?

[@H4KD11]

rods are better than non turbo barras

[@nordic5490]

11.1:1 compression ratio on the gas engine gives better pre spool response and better economy.

[@urabusliberty9258]

Hard to think this car is 32 years old now wow

[@HEKTIC458]

Subbed 👍🏼

[@lsgemini7686]

10’s before the taxi

[@markbarry7538]

Never nock a ea falcon I have a 3.9 strocker custom crank rods head. Fuel is feed by triple 45 side draft Webber's and 150 horse power nos when it finished I will take on any Berra.

[@joshbaldwin5008]

You need to make these videos long.. funny as fuck

[@brownie2917]

Wow never seen anyone do this before

[@spiritlevelstudios]

Yeh a bunch of Commodores but no EAs. The earlier stuff is so much better for power to weight. That said, even 1400 kgs seems excessive to me.

[@6Wik6Wak6]

Love it ahahah 😂

[@samjohnson4014]

Call it blue waffle?

[@michaeldaley4418]

I can't hear you get a mic or closer to the camera

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

Benny? Is that you?

[@Magpie_Mark92]

EA were square lemons

[@zachbailey5847]

Wish we had cool shit in the states

[@rsoul7282]

That is way more love than any EA deserves, they are trash.

[@nordic5490]

What kind of pos do you drive mate ?

[@rsoul7282]

Nor Dic my daily is a Hilux, my position on EAs is based on having had to fix way more of them than I can remember. I used to be able to get the cylinder head off one in half an hour as an apprentice.

[@spiritlevelstudios]

lol. They eat head gaskets for breakfast yeh. Dropping in a Barra should solve that one.

[@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310]

Spirit Level Studios they just needed a decent head gasket... using an au mls head gasket cures 99% of the e series head gasket issues.

[@rsoul7282]

James. So you are left with something that is 50% more reliable, but is still gutless, drinks fuel, leaks oil, is noisy, has a shit interior, weak brakes, and handles like a dairy cow. All yours mate, you are welcome to them.

[@marktorre175]

I have a EA B8 Brock, I'd have paid you guys to throw the Barra in, could have made a good vid, if any 1 has a Barra or a inline 3.9L in decent condition msg me or if u know anyone who does reliable engine work for a fair price in Melbourne hit me up..

[@cornevanrooyen4717]

Sound is not to great
