I thought this may be of some interest to people here - the 5.4L 4V engine was perceived as a bit of a boat anchor in stocko form as the 260/290 fitted to the BA/BF/FG MKI, I've driven a few Falcons with them under the bonnet and I didn't find them too impressive when I got to have some fun, they're alright but nothing special.
A small Adelaide workshop made a turbo kit for one and it seems this perceived boat anchor turns into a god damn monster - 400KW+ at the wheels on only 11 PSI, obviously these things breathe really well so the boost levels are low for high power figures, more over at the link below: https://www.facebook.com/spoolinboos...type=3&theater Its good to see something other than the Barra getting a little bit of love and more so from the little guys - this mob runs at our AFF Heathcote event from time to time. |
