Great video mate probably a more honest break down of the cost of modifying the barra turbo falcon combo.

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.

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!

I have an 09 G6ET. Purchased stock and so far I have got a stronger tail shaft, new centre bearing, the blue diff and trail arm bushes, the coupling for the tailshaft and I'm about to do the mackilec battery relocation kit

30 k is a lot of money, but compared to other cars that powerful it's cheap af

Awesome video Damien , that engine bay of yours is iImmaculate, love the detail 👍

I be happy running 11.5 quarter that's enough for going to super market and back home and down to stk on hot night

Great job, well compiled and spoken. $$ really adds up eh 😳

I want one of these engines soooo bad! Beautiful engine with a huge turbo is the stuff of my dreams.

Swear a few years ago i saw those number plates on a gold falcon

Bro hands down the best video, everything I wanted to know and nothing I didn’t, Chea

Great vid mate cheers and here I am thinking my small $16000 I spent was a good amount for everything to handle 600hp Hahaha

Awesome vid mate you really went above and beyond thinking about the longevity which not many people think about, you forgot to mention what tyre's you'll be getting for the tracks? Surely it's not stock tyres haha

Money well spent )) nothing like a turbo barra

Just bought an FG turbo and this info really helps. Thanks for the info🤘

Awesome honest video mate well explained and a real eye opener for the real cost of performance. Reality proper reliable performance costs shit loads

Great video mate, I think there could've been a few more things added like Brakes, Shocks and Tyres, just a thought. I am slowly doing up my G6ET, fingers crossed within 12 Months it will be finished, hopefully not as expensive as yours. Hopefully aroung 30-35k including Brakes, Shocks and Tyres. My problem in which order to do the mods, when adding more power to also protect my car at the same time with the added boost.

Great vid mate really thorough and an awesome insight into an iconic build keep them coming loving the content 👍

Doesn't seem that bad considering how built everything behind the engine is.

I love the wheels ya got on it mate, they look fantastic 😍

awesome stuff mate, very honest and informative. Good decision to over engineer as well :)

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.

Please keep it with videos .. I wanna know more about the barramundi engine and tuning

Holy Mother of fuck! Good information I had no idea

Great vid mate ! It adds up pretty quick dosnt it.

Great video mate!

This is a great video. Much needed! Thanks👍

Great video man found the drivetrain info awsome keep em coming

Thanks,very informative and certainly got me thinking 🤔

Cheers, I might keep my girl stock.you scared the shit out of me.I'll keep my money 💰

$36.600 no labour my wife would be in labour finding out lol

Awesome video Damien I know exactly how it cost as I'm doing a BA Falcon full engine build top and bottom, 6 speed tr6060 gearbox billet built , harrot tru trac diff ect ect I got a couple little videos on my channel but it's a progress

im new to your chanel but really injoying your content mate

You could say almost double that with the labour

Surprised you didn’t go with Atomic chain mate

Fantastic break down of parts mate, did similar with a 2015 manual Ute and had a mechanic mate help me (do most of it😂) but was staggered at how quickly good quality bits added up, future insurance for sure until a bloke ran a stop sign and t-boned me!!!!! Heartbreaking!! 😥😥😥😥

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.

Where did U get that battery cover and carbon radiator cover they look great

Nice video mate and even nicer car

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.

My engine will handle 1000hp after I spent $9000 in parts alone, not including my fuel system, gearbox, clutch, brakes, diff, axles. tyres,

How mate loved the vid, i myself have spent $24k and saving for the trans on my fg g6et. Question? Where can i find that cover you have over your b82rez 😁

14:17 far out

Hey mate do you remember the ford code for those headlights as im looking to by those for my mk1 g6et and do you remember what you paid for them from fraud and where did you get your led lights for them from?

Standard fuel rail mate?

It’s really not that bad when you realise people are buying 80k bmw’s and shit that won’t last 10 years.

Did you buy the stuff and give to work shop or did they order all this stuff for you?

Wana know how much to get munr to 350 kw

hey mate, would you consider 1250cc injectors if you were going 850-900hp?

I like the wheels what brand are they? Thank's.

Great video. Don't suppose you could save the lazy-asses like myself the trouble and put up the list of the parts you've put in? I also notice little 'pretty' things like the coolant reservoir. Even little things like that I don't think people realise cost $$$

Do you still have stock pistons and internals? How long do you think it will last before BOOM? Atomic told me over 400rwkw it's risking blowing the ringlands off the pistons.

Did this falcon come optional v8 ? Not that im.not totally impressed with the barra

Spend 30 k on a 2jz your way better off and stronger hands down

Don't watch this with the wife in the room

Ls engine all the way
