Tuning my BIG TURBO XR6 FORD FALCON!

Today I took my Turbo Ford Falcon XR6 to Real Dyno Performance ( / dynomustang ) to retune my Barra Turbo with a Precision 6235 on E85 Fuel. More than stoked with the numbers produced by Lee with the PCMTech Software! What a machine!

Tbh. I’m getting really over these comments saying I’m going to kill myself and that I can’t drive this car. I don’t want those type of people to watch my video. I watched a good mate of mine on the same power wrap himself around a pole, and that was where the turbo came from. It’s not that I can’t drive it, is that I have seen what happens when you do shit on the streets, and I’m not that type of bloke to advertise that. For a first drive, that’s enough for me, give me a few months to work on the traction, to learn the car and to get to a few track days. Then start running your mouths ✌️ No video tomorrow sorry guys

[@morganhughes6622]

I have only read a thew coments bit that's what half where sadly people see the first drive and comment, you have been saying this for a while now honestly probably one of the safest people on the road in a powerful car, stay safe Zac hope you are doing well mate.

[@cornfedboost]

You'll get used to it quick mate but get yourself some better rubber asap it will help more than you'll realize...

[@ridingwithanton750]

People just gonna hate Zac and its fucked up it really is, but you are such a good bloke from what I know anyway. And ps Zac I didn't get a message on Instagram message me on fb again if ya get the chance

Its clichè as but; haters gon’ hate mate. Just keep doin’ you! Also; went into Bunnings up the Sunny Coast where i live & they charged me $39 for those pvc sheets haha 😛

Can see the titles of the next videos now. "I put fat tyres on my car" "We broke a diff and a cradle" "Welding in an IMS Diff hat + TruTrack" "1000hp Driveshafts and the new rebuilt auto!"

[@TaffPlays]

First thing on the shopping list: proper tyres Second thing: AU Falcon to be your new daily driver (Seriously, you'll get pulled over in the Turbo) Also, my shirts finally turned up, and am proud to wear the one that has the car that makes 620 hp on it!

[@Turbo_Tractors]

AU falcon daily because the XR6T he’s owned for years might get pulled over? Cringe😂

[@TaffPlays]

@@Turbo_Tractors bruh, its too fast, he will easily get pulled over for speeding

Super proud of you bud, you and your falcon have both came along way, and in my opinion the best Aussie car enthusiast 💙

[@johndude2726]

Congratulations, Zack! Good to see the Falcon is now in full-flight

[@AGRSSV1]

Have you replaced the tailshaft, oil pump gears or fitted a surge tank? I feel like you skipped a few supporting mods chasing HP. Hope it doesn't end in tears like it has for plenty of others.

[@steeley_]

Let the fella live, car is daily driven and the only time it's driven hard is on the straights of qr or lakeside. The amount of times I've been in the car with Zac shows me that he's responsible enough to handle something like this without being a dickhead, he works hard for his shit and obviously doesn't want to plow money into replacing broken pieces. He'll respect it and has parts on the way, these comments are getting long in the tooth.

[@RicksWorld91]

@@steeley_ Its a common thing with XR6 Turbos' - When you're pushing more than 300rwkw without the basics you'll be in for trouble long term. Nothing to do with hanging shit on him.

[@steeley_]

@@RicksWorld91 I don't think it's hanging shit on him either but I swear this shit is commented at least 5-8 times a video. Zac knocks around with gene Rhodes who is notoriously well versed on engines so I'm sure hes receiving sound advice, not all of us are made of money.

[@crazzydude0117]

@@steeley_ anyone can make that power cheapish but keeping it alive there is another thing. 460kw and no pump gears, do you know how easy it is to smack limiter with shit tyres at that power luck of the draw and you may only need 1 bounce before it goes boom. Surge tank again just more security especially if you're far from a e85 servo and running low. Not hanging shit but very common way to kill them at that power

[@bigroger1989]

I didn’t hear him talk about oil pump gears or a flex plate 😂 I swear I can see this car having Rodney come knocking soon 😂

[@JDM_DAISUKI]

Congratulations man so happy for you

That thing is a missile. It sometimes annoys me how easily Barra’s make big rwhp and fairly reliably. If only an RB could do this

[@jethrox827]

All jokes aside bro and we do like to take this piss out of you but you're a good sport and i think everyone is really enjoying you discovering power in tuned cars. Ive been enjoying a built car on e85 for a while and i need to constantly remind myself to give it respect, if I'm tired or anxious I don't take it out and if i do a pull it's away from anyone. Running big hp, it's another world you need to ease in to.

[@itisigumballwatterson1284]

[@SHAKAZ_ADVENTURES]

Congratulations on the new mods. Just a quick suggestion. Maybe it might be time to invest in some half decent rubber and a brake upgrade.

[@TaffPlays]

He has a XYZ brake upgrade already!

[@SHAKAZ_ADVENTURES]

TaffPlays no he doesn’t, he has upgraded EBC pads with vmaxx J hook rotors and territory rear calipers and rotors. Pushing almost 500rwkw I would IMO be looking at a minimum 4 pot front brembos.

[@hortz6]

@@SHAKAZ_ADVENTURES It is not making close to 500rwkw. It would probably be closer to 400rwkw. Hub dyno so higher power reading vs. rear wheel kilowatts on a roller dyno. No wheel and tyre mass to accelerate and no rolling resistance, both of which reduce the actual power figure. A hub dyno removes those losses.

[@SHAKAZ_ADVENTURES]

hortz6 I understand that but IMO making sure your car can safely handle that power level would be my first concern I.e braking, fuelling, engine internals. It’s all well and good to chase hp but make sure you have the stopping power to match the go. Just my opinion

[@hortz6]

@@SHAKAZ_ADVENTURES Yes I agree, brake, suspension, and other reliability upgrades are a smart move at this point. Decent semi slick are also a step in the right direction. Learning how the car performs at the current power and gaining experience in a controlled environment should be on his list too.

[@landcruisertoyota3980]

Awesome car , makes me wonder though for the average guy who drives car daily its an overkill.gotta factor in boxes and drive line work at that power. Mate went from 320 at wheels driveline stock to 420 at wheels and needing a zf built, tail shaft, and drive shafts at a total of nearly 10k, reliable power costs a lot more than just bigger turbo and tune, overall though well done mate 👏

[@Bondmaster007]

Zac I am subbed to ross reviews. Since you guys teamed up I been watching on and off your progress. And I watched this all excited for you.. and then saw the Pinned comment. I just couldn’t say nothing. Fuck what people think. When you wrap the car around a tree are they going to cover your insurance? When you are in hospital, they going to cover your medical bills? Fuck them its your first drive and you are learning the car. I have a 2016 VF ClubSport with a Harrop 2650 blower.. I legit drive it like an old man. I have people that need me. I cant afford to fix if I break it.. or worse kill myself or someone else.. Anyway its not often I comment and if you see this.. Just know none of them have any idea how hard KZbin creation is and the stress of week to week. Video to video. Hours and hours of work… keep doing you brother.. enjoy the great HP increase, great XR6 turbo.. and that’s coming from a holden Guy…😊

[@Bdart93]

Good stuff man! Reading the comments coming from a fellow 600hp owner I’ve driven lots of high powered cars so it’s butter to me. But you do need to learn to control etc your still very unsure about it, if your gonna blow money to make big figures you need to learn how to handle it good luck !

Damn all these kids in the comments talking shit that he can't drive. Yeah myself I'm only 17 but I've driven a few high power cars and yea it's fucking scary when you don't know the car. I respect Zac for taking his time to get to know the car better and the fact he dosnt want to be stupid on the street. Once you modify your car it become a complelty different car. For all of you saying he isn't even thrashing it, his scared, he can't handle the power, his gonna kill himself, if he was to just walk out the shop and put it on full boost and have his foot flat that would of happened but no his acting like an adult about it and taking his time. So respect for people, words do shit to people even if you just thinking your having a little joke, all Zac does is walk through what his doing 24/7 putting shit tones of work into his videos were most people say two words and do all the work and show you the finished product he sits there takes time out of his day to make sure you understand. It's completely unfair for the hole lot of the people coming in here talking shit to such a nice block. I can't believe I'm younger then most the people on the channel yet I can understand how shit works. Bet if most of you were to have a car like his and thrash it all we would hear on the news is idiots rapped around trees, poles, peoples house, etc. I can't wait to see all the hate I'm going to get for this comment. All I wanna say is everyone talking negatively grow up and move on I'm sorry you have shit going on and you have to take it out else were but don't do that shit here it's unacceptable.
