Hey Ross! Have seen most of your videos on RIPIN, you've done a killer job and got some awesome results out of it mate. Certainly wouldn't say yours wasn't a proper series that's for sure, enjoyed it very much and was in no way saying I think I'll cover it better than anyone else, just differently I hope - we all have slightly different methods here and there. The more good Aussie content the better! If we can get close to or similar results as yourself as you say then I'd be pretty happy with it. Good luck with the future upgrades on RIPIN and the track Pulsar build mate 👍

@@BrowneysGarage i don't have any evidence other than my right foot. But I had my BA Turbo for over 10 years before I upgraded the stock cooler. I'm running about 300kw wheels no issues with that eBay cooler. By the time I need a bigger intercooler I'm going to need a stronger bottom ect. I asked my tuner not to push my engine to much I wanted reliable street car with a good powerband. My 4sp auto has decided she did not like the abuse. So I'm going to rebuild it but I knew it was a weak point even had a transmission cooler on it but shes had enough. 200k plus km and a heavy right foot I think she did well.

Mate everything you said is exactly right. I have been buying parts for my ba xr6 for the last 12 months. I have been very lucky, I ended up buying a Spartan gt3584r turbo which just happened to be on special for 1040 dollars, compared to 1600 dollars normally. I researched my turbo for a long time and it is a good snail. I bought plazmaman cold and hot side 3 inch piping and a intercooler that wasn't too expensive. I also got 650cc injectors and I bought a turbo ecu on line. The seller ended up being a mechanic with his own shop. He also tuned the ecu, and I asked him what sort of power I would be getting. He said that it would be putting out 550hp. I almost pissed myself. But my car is not a skid car or a drag car. I would be a bit careful with the dyno machines. They rev the poor old car 2 , 7k. Pcm flash tuned ecu is just about as good as any dyno. As long as the tuner knows a lot about the car. He has a 1200kw ba xr6 himself. Anyway mate I'm getting the shits with all the haters 2
@BrowneysGarage3 жыл бұрын
Sounds like a good thing mate. And i agree with you on the tuning side to a certain extent. Let's be honest, the OEM isn't tuning each individual car! But once more variables/non stock parts start creeping in and the age of these things are getting up there I start to be a little more on the cautious side. Especially with good tuning shops becoming much more available and prices not completely unreasonable, I'd rather have it ticked off and reduce the chance of a new engine having to be thrown in! Certainly not saying you've done the wrong thing, sounds like you're all over it and hope you enjoy it 👍. Oh and don't worry about the haters, there's not that many they just like to be the loudest sometimes haha

@@BrowneysGarage yeah I was thinking about doing the bottom end. But it is a really good motor and I haven't had any problems with it, and there isn't 1 leak on the entire car.

He talked me into it. He warned me about doing skids in it. That's the main reason they fail. How could you do that 2 a beautiful old girl
@jungofett3 жыл бұрын
Mate sounds like a good build but you will not get 375kw/500hp out of 650cc injectors going to need 1000cc unless you want to max out your 650 duty cycle. you will also need a fuel regulator and a pump if you are going springs for that power you also risk bending the rods or lifting the head. NA have weaker rods than turbo but Green top gas engine have better rods for LPG. also not recommended to run that kind of power through a stock transmission. anybody can push an engine but if you want something reliable its going to cost you a bit more. don't listen to me or the guy who is selling it call up some shops and ask. Not hating just would not like to see your hard work go to waste.

Browney is BACK! Mate great explanation of the project and your goals too! You have put a lot of thought into the parts and process - can't wait to see it all come together! Reckon your green car will defo be faster than my green car once its all done! I think people who say its better to buy an already fast car miss the point of it being a project, there is a lot of enjoyment and knowledge to be gained by going through the process - and its also fun for us to watch too!!
@BrowneysGarage3 жыл бұрын
Thanks very much mate, been a long time in the works... and still going! May be faster soon but I know you still wouldn't swap haha. Couldn't agree more, and to boot I think there's something wrong with me cause I often enjoy the work before the drive more - at least once it's done and I can look back anyway! Plus I think this is more relatable, it's what I'd prefer to watch anyway. Congrats and good luck to you and Kinal with bub on the way too mate.

Browney's Garage Browney's Garage hehe yeah spot on - my Fairmont aint going no where! You are not alone in that camp - plenty of people prefer to tinker than drive their pride and joy. Its all about the journey! Cheers mate - Kinals doing a great job so far and D day will be very soon (prob this week) so its all happening here!! Very excited to have a little person in the house that can one day hand me tools whilst I’m under a car 😀

Yer you said it. Ive been looking forward to that. And to all the people who has been saying "just buy a turbo car", this series isnt for you. This series is specifically for the passionate and enthutiast not for lazy bones. Driving a car which you have turboed yourself is something totally different and satisfying.
@BrowneysGarage3 жыл бұрын
I’m with you, but there’s a place for both sides. The ‘just buy a turbo car’ argument doesn’t give me any satisfaction really, or of course learn anything. The argument did also make a lot more sense back when the price gap wasn’t what it is today, but I’m sure most who said it weren’t really giving it much consideration anyway.

I have a Phantom purple 03 BA XR6. I was wondering if I bought a regular na barra from a bf series would I be able to achieve 300 - 350 kilowatts at the wheels or is that way too excessive. I am not interested in building a car that runs 8 second quarter miles. I just want a nice daily cruiser that has a little more grunt behind it. I understand I would have to piss off the 4 speed btr, hoping to find a t56 manual although seems unlikely.

What are the compliance issues over there? In nz we need to go through all sorts of cert costs etc so most people say cheaper to swap cars but those days are gone with a nearly 40k difference sometimes
@BrowneysGarage3 жыл бұрын
Compliance is tough over here too and varies a LOT even from state to state, it's way to hard to cover for a hack like me. May look at doing a post or video on it one day. But yes, that price gap is really starting to open up over here too, making factory cars start to look very unreasonable.
@justkyddingracing92683 жыл бұрын
as he is going with factory bolt on parts to get this a cert in NZ isnt actually that expensive.
