We Turbocharged my NA Falcon

[@gustavosearom1]

as someone that lives in the states, im extremely jealous that you guys have this car

[@earthislevel]

There is a 'conspiracy' which goes along the lines of "USA shut Australian Ford and Holden (GM) down because they were upstaging the US flagship models". I tend to think this is bordering on the line of truth.

[@smoothwalrus9354]

Kowabunga, dude! That's so great that you got it done in the end. Love it.

[@HRPMProjects]

mighty impressive result on the NA bottom end with some minor supporting mods! just amazing! what a journey! so happy for you mate well done!!

[@OGTroll]

Me and my misses recently bought her old Falcon back and engine swapped it with a fresh low ks bf series 2 na motor seing this makes the temptation of turbocharging it so much more haha

[@mg74xbgt]

Great Effort. Did this 7 years ago to my FG with way more shall we say Budget parts.....and made 540 rwhp on 14psi. Engine was still quite happy at that level , however the box fried after one good pass at Willowbank. Way less clutches in the atmo box. 12.0@120 mph though. Was tuned by Forced in Toowoomba. On a side note I managed to get the car to run a 13.6 over 1/4 when it was atmo 😁

[@fgmods]

That's awesome. The NA motors can take and make a lot more than people give them credit for.

[@mg74xbgt]

@@fgmods All I did was to swap in a 3.45 diff centre and extractors plus free flowing/noisy exhaust and got a mail order tune from BP and it ran a 13.6 atmo. The Vid is on my channel if you go back about 7 years. Doing the turbo conversion with a T70 Master Power turbo was fun though !!

[@310ingyou2]

Smashed it. Car looks dope.sounds great congrats on your evolution! 🎉

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Subbed, nice video man! I especially love the part where you show the route up to Townsville and there's like 100 lots of road works, that's peak Australia right there!!

[@MrEnormous874]

Great content, I’m another one with dreams of converting my na territory for the last few years!! Pls upload a 6month review when u get a chance. Good luck buddy🤟

[@MrKrueger88]

So happy you've built the dream car you'd been wanting for so long . I built an 85 supra into a turbo engined beast years ago . Now I've an fgx xr6 and thinking a turbo or supercharger conversion would be fun to do . Cheers , and thanks for a great channel 😅🔥💯

[@dontbugmepleasethanks]

Bro I’ve been waiting for this for so many years finally!!!

[@yourmatejay]

So glad to see it boosted man!! Well done 👏👏👏

[@thisguycalledalex]

I’ve done the drive from Townsville to brisbane. What a trip ✌️

[@Reuel_Media]

Nicely put together video mate 👍 enjoyed watching

[@lightemupson]

Sounds bloody insane !! I need an external gate so bad 🥲

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

Na zf is surprisingly stout, my mates got one in his 550kw g6e, it hates life and slips 3rd-4th if you shift on power but it hasn't failed catastrophically.. Turbo or better yet built box is the go though, mine makes 410kw and the standard turbo zf hasn't missed a beat

[@ryanumbers1499]

Nice but.. i did this 2 years ago running 98 and 8 psi and i make 305 RWK with an UN OPENED FG NA engine, stock exhaust internal gate just a cooler kit and air box, still going strong too :)

[@fgmods]

That's a great result for a Falcon with no work! If you're comparing results don't forget where I specifically said we didn't want to push the car too far because the gearbox needed to survive the 1400Km trip back to Brisbane.

[@sollydogg]

Thats actually insane 350kw hell yeahh

[@civilizedsavage360]

Big Congats, I have been wondering if you were gonna get there, well done 👍

[@jetthammond7811]

This helps along mate, thanks

[@Oni____]

Nah, being in SA with Na+T dreams on a 5 speed is soul crushing. Might have to bite the bullet and just get a xr6 turbo :(

[@williametheridge9694]

What do you mean about being in SA?

[@therig1339]

I watch pfi speed and they have been pushing pulsar turbos on plenty of hondas and they absolutely rip. Their technology and quality is really good. And I'm seeing more and more people running them

[@fgmods]

Pulsar have pretty much become the standard for Falcon builds now. Very reliable turbos.

[@vincekara9446]

Congrats mate. Awesome result. I have a BF Turbo stock and am really tempted to unleash. However i know it'll become a money pit. But then the smile on your face when you push it

[@fgmods]

Money in exchange for happiness is well worth it

[@wobblysauce]

Build, break, repeat

[@vincekara9446]

@wobblysauce My brother has got a VL turbo built from the ground up. It goes like a cut cat, but most of its life is spent at the mechanics due to breakages. Has spent working overtime to pay for upgrades.

[@wobblysauce]

@@vincekara9446 Or dial it back a tad to gain the reliability... hahaha what am I talking about.

[@vincekara9446]

Hey mate I’ve done a na+T conversation on my xr6 and for some reason I keep getting a engine light come on, I can get rid of it by disconnecting battery but then couple days later it comes back. I’ve got thoughts on it been o2 sensor seen I’ve put a big dump pipe and cat on it but not overly sure. Have you had any dramas like this. Any help would be appreciated

[@lachlanscarrs7938]

how much did the build cost overall??

[@fgmods]

I’ll address that in a future video. I’ve still got more I want to do, so the total cost will change soon.

[@kers225abk2]

Why does no one ever say how much it costs? Its so annoying. Its such a simple question. He didn't ask how much once you've done more, we just wanna know how much for the parts and install 🤷‍♂️

[@karlosgoldee1975]

What did you do for loom and computer?

[@lloydchristmas2326]

How did you drive it back to Brisbane being a full time e85 car ? And the turbo zf boxes aren’t anything special I blew mine at about the same power you have on your NA box ( if it’s still alive lol )

[@fgmods]

The drive back was fine on 85. Just had to stop more regularly to be sure I didn’t run out hundreds of Ks from a united with E85. Fuel economy is only about 100Ks worse than before, give or take a bit.

[@lloydchristmas2326]

@@fgmods lol I bet you had all the united servos fully mapped out before you started driving back !! Why’d you plumb the external gate back into the dump ? Screamer sounds way better

[@jarrod1687]

Congrats mate, if you had your time again would you just sell the na and bought a factory turbo? And have you installed / upgrades the trans cooler?

[@fgmods]

Nah I’d never sell it. I’ve still spent less than I would have buying a factory turbo (unless it was a really clapped turbo) and I got to learn a lot from the guys at Elite and have fun doing the build along the way.

[@jarrod1687]

Fair enough, bet it drives so well compared to the na

What can the stock FG barra motor take?

[@fgmods]

I have a more recent vid with the full parts list and cost breakdown

[@stockie6]

Great informal video, however It would've also been nice to add the cost of everything together, regardless still a great video. I am surprised that you haven't had an aftermarket zf heat exchanger installed as of yet, may of put you more on ease on the drive back. But wow 354kw is some serious power! That's enough to make anyone happy for a really long time.

[@fgmods]

I’ll probably address the cost in a future video. I’m not done with it yet, so total cost will change. Trans cooler will come in the future. Wasn’t happy with the one I previously bought, so I didn’t install it.

[@pokedan6846]

Did I miss it or did you keep the na ecu and run a external boost controller?

[@fgmods]

Yes it's the NA ECU and using the GFB electronic boost controller.

[@itz_hux]

Matt should of sent you around the corner so I could of fix and painted your front bar😂

Would have been good to fix it. It's a mess.
