Finally someone that tells the truth about and understands the real cost of modifying cars I’ve spent $50000 on my Vl turbo that’s on Lpg yes I know people bag me for that but now it’s starting to surprise a lot of know it all’s and yes I’ve still got problems that have to be sorted but that’s the car game it never ends

I’m currently $7500 deep in building a 745rwkw fg I’ve set myself a budget of $45k but will be keeping the original running gear if I ever want to sell the car.. my spending may seem small but it’s only because I spend hours every week researching

Thanks for this. Im building my barra to similar spec and also had the zf built up. I still need to buy more parts but it seems to be adding up to a similar amount. Glad to know ive headed in the right direction.
@woznaldo2 жыл бұрын
I’m putting an NA Barra into a Jag and have been looking at parts to convert to turbo with an aim of 450kW. Like you’ve eluded to, it adds up quick. Gaskets, bearings and the bits, like you say, you add for longevity. Having a non-turbo ZF6 is the biggest hurdle. You can go stronger 6HP26 parts or go the whole hog an commit to 6R80 parts. The problem I’ve realised most use big HP cars for drag times and don’t really talk about fast road driving. I’d like to know more about how the upgraded ZF6 drives when driving on a winding road? Informative video by the way, so thanks!

Great video mate. Comments on here about brake and tyre and shock upgrades, that's not part of the HP build so you're spot on. Maybe a labour cost range or hours spent in the shop might give an idea of how much extra? Still, it's peanuts compared to building a v8 muscle car. 30 grand would get a foot in the door only.

Have you done flexplate or axles yet? I have a b&m cooler for my zf, I used a derale thermostatic sandwich plate to plumb engine oil cooler lines to my b&m engine oil cooler which is mounted in front of b&m trans cooler. They are in behind right side fog light. I took fogs out and put mesh over hole. Love your vids man.
@finalform62633 жыл бұрын
No axles as yet and will most likely keep them as the weak link to be honest. I will only rarely be going to the drags, and will get the boot IF I run the 9 I am aiming for. The rest is roll racing so should be ok. However if I break more than 2 sets I will go the upgraded option. Stock flexplate, though it has the mackielec reinforcement ring, ARP bolts and doweled onto the crack. ARP bolts are tack welded also. Trans cooler will be behind the LHS foglight also. Cheers for watching and the kind words mate.

@finalform62633 жыл бұрын
Thanks legend. Battery cover was a custom one off job. I purchased it off a guy in Melbourne. But I have been toying with the idea of producing them. Only issue is you also need to run a plasmaman battery relocation kit and odyssey battery ( PC925 ) to fit under the cover. Carbon radiator cover is mine. I made a limited batch of 20 in pre preg carbon. But will be doing more in future in non pre preg ( to reduce price point ). Thanks for watching :)
@robbo85663 жыл бұрын
Nice video mate and even nicer car
@nordic54902 жыл бұрын
Very good break down, thanks. Re the trans cooler, the ZF still needs to be temperature regulated. I fitted a $250 oversized all alloy 'race radiator' instead. I had to replace my FG XR6T radiator anyhow due to a leak. This radiator is the ducks nuggets, and keeps the trans at a nice stable temp. No need to fit an external trans cooler, and tha tmove might even be detrimental to the trans due to poor temp regulation. What about the milkshake risk ? Just fit genuine ford current version replacement part. They are built better now, and haven't been a milkshake risk for some time now. So, $1000 saved right there, and a better result to boot. Re fuel pumps, I fitted the twin 340lph deatschwerks fuel pumps in tank using the KPM 1000hp in tank kit. I do regret not buying the KPM '1500' hp intank kit that used twing Walbro 450s but Iwas wary of Walbro, just had a single 450 fail (turns out it was a non genuine walbro450 !). The intank pumps are totally silent, and keep the fuel cool, rather than a surge tank in the bay soaking up the engine heat. I also fitted a AMS voltage booster for my pumps, yes, I know this is a band aid solution... but it works, my 1000cc injectors can be maxed out. But... the voltage booster is triggered when the intake manifold exceeds 5psi, fine, but, the pumps have some inertia, and there can be a small momentary pause before they are at full flow... I have a small button to boost the pumps at any anytime. Bam, 16V at the pumps - works. I also recommend running 8 guage wiring all the way from the battery, relay, AMS booster etc, and a beefy dround wire at the pump. At 60A on pump boost, there was nearly a full volt dropped using the smaller guage wiring supplied. The 8g wire made the pumps flow heaps better. My tip is to fit the twin in tank walbro450 kit from KPM, their '1500' hp kit, that is good for 1000hp on e85, and install big 8g wiring. Quiet, and keeps the fuel cool, and is cheaper than a Plasmaman surge tank. I also fitted the high flow flow pressure reg that comes with the intank fuel pump kit. To fix the misfire at high boost, gap your plug to 0.7mm, and I fitted a smaller AMS voltage booster for the coils. Over 5spi, the coils instantly run on 18V. This works great, and seamless. Set and forget. Was a Herrod kit. Never a misrfire again. At my recommendation, the turbo taxi boys fitted one also, and that fixed their misfire I believe. I appreciate the suspension advice. Thanks.

Ford used KTM, at least at one stage as a source for their trans coolers, later OEM replacements were um, made in China. We had one fail, fortunately on the water side, in three weeks. Will only use external coolers now. No cold shift issues, checked this with a transmission guy and sourced some ZF literature on the subject, all good down to at least - 20c, thank synthetics suppose. Anyway, that's my two cents.
