Building a $200 BARRA to make 800HP

Who doesn't love an 800hp BARRA?
Today on The Skid Factory We're kicking off another Barra Build!
Wayne's XE Falcon Longroof is an OG Shed build which was originally built back in 2015 with a Turbo Nissan VH41 V8, It's been cruising the streets of the Sunshine Coast ever since until recently when a side feed injector o-ring left the chat and hydraulic locked the engine.
There was a couple of options to fix the car but one obvious choice became apparent.

Huge thanks to our mate John for doing all the hard work before we rocked up to film!

Don't know about you, but Old mates workshop looks clinically clean, a good indication or organisation and professionalism. awesome stuff

@andersjjensen 2 жыл бұрын

An engine builder's shop better be heaps cleaner than a grimy mechanic shop... Notice how things are covered in cloth *despite* the shop being clean. At the really high end shops they have a separate engine assembly room where parts are moved to after machining, cleaning and inspection. Just to make that last bit of extra mega monster sure that a pesky little metal shard from the machining area doesn't find it's way in to the client's high-dollar build and ruin a bearing surface before the fun has even started.

11 .8 - 11 = .8 ( point eight mm over ) So true 3 times the parts . Hope it went well . The BA is the hardest to remove the OCV s . Ford are very clever with Finance , in my experience says Ford pistons are budget pistons because that's the market they are sold to in the Falcon which is too short for the Barra motor . Germany must love Barra rebuilders ( pistons , rods chains , bolts , all after market) Good luck with that cautious rebuild and the good video.
