Anyone seen the article in Fiday 9/9/05 Herald Sun?

Adam Hargrave ran a 10.2@216km in a BA Falcon using stock manifold & turbo.

I assume this wasn't in street class, anyone know the car? as the other modifications were not listed - Was gas used?

As you all know 10.2s@216km is a very fast time for a BA XR6, Just didn't think a BA could beat MRBLONDE's BMW time, even in the same class.

I am about to unleash (or try to) some good times at Calder Park when I get my car back from Racepace. I never got round to taking it for a run before due to work commitments, and After reading this article it made me cringe a little. My previous set up (before RacePace) in my R33 GTS-T was pushing out 213rwkw@14psi using:

std turbo, std inj., std AFM,std coils etc..., Apexi GT Spec FMIC, Jasma 3.5" exhaust, Apexi SAFC2, Bosch 044 f pump & surge tank, K&N "Oval Pod" (6" mouth), HKS SSQ BOV, Cusco Oil Catch can, Rear Tein adjustable suspension Bridgestone Potenza SO3's (265/35ZR18) -Rear & (235/40/ZR18) -Front, Lenzo 18" Alloys.

When I get the car back I should have very close to or 300rwkw, I will get rid of the Tein suspension. Can I get any recommendations from anyone, (Whiteline set-up, for example) as I havn't got much experience in this area.

Cheers,

Chris.

Chris, I don't know anything about this Falcon BA or it's setup but FULLBOOST tells us it's run 9.98 @ 144.05 MPH at Heathcote in some trim level.

The picture in FULLBOST has S/ST class on the car, but that's not right because the cutoff for S/ST is 11.000.

Thanks for the reply, I'll have a look at FullBoost, I wonder if it was a "accidental" missprint on the S/ST class or not.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
