That would also keep gas on the other side of the engine too.

Is this one intercooled at all?

EFFalcon · 12-01-2006, 11:31 AM

not intercooled, just water injection.
thats a straight CAPA kit, just bolted on and done with ;)

I see a blow off valve in that last pic but where's the water injection?

EFFalcon · 13-01-2006, 12:10 PM

I'm assuming its the pink pipe that goes into the intake before the blower, the capa water injection is pretty simple.
but i could be wrong, we spoke to the owner but i can't recall what kit he got.

Hmmm... just gotta find out one more thing, then it's time to save the pennies... :evil3:

EDIT - EFFalcon, it's a Powerdyne kit. Had a look at the CAPA website.

EFFalcon · 13-01-2006, 02:00 PM

yes it is, but i'm not sure if its the 6psi or 9psi kit, the only difference being the pulley and standard water injection.

SWOOP · 13-01-2006, 04:29 PM

looks the same type setup as my old one ,the water actually sprays the impeller to aid in cooling it and the headunit as well as air incoming

heres mine

castek · 15-06-2006, 08:03 AM

man i sooo need a turbo for my el. i'm jealous of you guys.

CHEF · 15-06-2006, 02:37 PM

Yes, all falcons need a turbo... I couldn't imagine driving an NA falcon :evil_laug

Hotwire · 15-06-2006, 04:18 PM

Who's SA car is that? I've never seen it on any of our cruises!!

4.9 EF Futura · 15-06-2006, 04:36 PM

They come in V8 form as well

Hey man awsome car, just wondering where you got that intake manifold and roughly what it was worth if you don't mind telling?

-Cheers.

its mine, and you wouldnt have seen it, that was last weekend, which is the first weekend it has been on the road. Theres no way in hell im gonna drive it to adelaide, just to get it defected. I will however, be trailering it down to A.I.R when they decide to get the drags up and going again

oh, and 4.9 ef, whats the progress with your defect?? what are you going to do bout the charger?? i imagine regency would think its pretty good??

ON_DUBS · 17-06-2006, 08:59 PM

i've never seen a setup with two fuel rails before,

how does that work/what's the purpose? why why why?

CHEF · 17-06-2006, 10:36 PM

its cheaper than buying bigger injectors... double the injectors, double the fuel

Rollin · 17-06-2006, 11:18 PM

also apparently helps with idle and very low fuel requirements.

If you have massive injectors, sometimes they physically can't flow a small enough amount of fuel to support a smooth, stoichiometric (14.7:1) idle.

two rails mean low fuel requirements are taken care of by one set of injectors, with the others only coming on when required (under boost)

fritzz · 20-07-2006, 10:05 PM

my turbo el bay

BaYa · 21-07-2006, 12:02 AM

I just love all the Boosted E-series, they are undiscribeable just need to save my money so i can do it to mine or another.

Gunns · 21-07-2006, 09:16 AM

here is another one!

Exactly, its a good way to make a big hp car very driveable and ecconomical. Run a set of 19lbers at idle/cruise/low MAP, and have a set of 60lbers to kick in when the 19's hit say 80% duty cycle. You do need twin simultanious fuel maps on your ECU though.

CHEF · 23-07-2006, 05:40 PM

Any good tuner working with a decent ecu can make 60lb injectors idle and cruise well... My ED has 550cc (53lb) and idles/cruises like standard, better even

ebs_4l · 23-07-2006, 10:23 PM

well said chef
