what do you guys think of a '94 EL Falcon

one of my friends just got one

check this: 11 years old, about 160 000km on clock

clean as a whistle, not a drop o oil on engine anywere

he only has a small leak in the master cylinder

he got a fairly new straight through cat back exhaust from an EB put on

new seals and gaskets

extractors are in the pipeline :aroused:

this thing goes like a rocket :flamed: :kick:

(good old straight 6 4litre)

how much would u expect 2 pay for something like that

i dont know how much he got it for, but i know it was a very good price

yea i know there not as good as a skyline

hell, it has to be compared to something (ie if that goes like a rocket, than just imagine what a skyline would be classed as...i can see it know: 'skyline travels in hyperspace: edge of galaxy reached')

A 94 model wouldn't be an EL, more likely an EF series 1.

it is a late model 94 and if i remember rightly the last 94's were EL's

(look i could be wrong too, it could be an early 95, but i hope not :wassup: :Oops: )

Its a falcon... Do you think this topic is fit for these forums...

Unless you are planning on buying one to drop an Rb26 into it and making a fully sick sedan. I suggest the ford forums... Although if you started this topic for us to pay out on falcons then thats ok too...

If you gonna use it as a daily driver, i'll consider other options with smaller engines , like a 91-96 1.5-1.6 Honda Civic's for the price of $5-6k (something not so heavy on fuel)

second hand/Old well EX-Taxi's wif LPG conversions can be bought for around the $4k but dunno if its like the 2nd or 3rd engine in the car! hahah

good luck either way

Late '94 is the start of EF series 1 and the end of ED series 2's (boxy shape)

I think both had the 4.0ltr inline 6

The EF and EL had a similar shape (like the VR - VS, and VT - VX commodores) and the only differences were the wheels, different badging, and slightly different interiors.

    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
