Joe's supercharged Ford Falcon XR8 features a Super Cobra Jet V8 engine and sequential gearbox. 😁 Taken from our first fullBOOST / Springy Performance dyno night.

I have the same year BA XR8 from 1 year old as well but in a supercharged ute with one of the 5.4 .racing ute motors in it running on E85 from when they use to race them and it is a beast with the amount of torque it produces. I love the engine bay on this one.

not many people are willing to pursue the old 5.4 modular to this end but wow! cost vs gains though I can't see any other reason other then pure love for the platform as to why you would take this route. awesome build and I'm glad at least that someone has done it. 6 pumps though like WOW!!! crazy mad scientist stuff hahaha. thanks for showing it. and I love the little thumbnail on your Fullboost logo that an GT86 cluster isn't it?

Some of the cars the 5.4 is used in around the world are big dollar builds with huge power, GT40 for one.. Like any motor, you just need to know what it's strengths and weaknesses are and then recitfy those issues with quality parts and well thought out modifications that suit your application.

@@BulkP3nguin 11's is okay but I think the sound of 7600 would be insain. You don't see these v8's mided much and I don't know why. Is it a strength issue, cost?? I have heard a camed xr8 and it m I at definately wasn't cheap but damn it sounded good and very different. I do think they should of increased the bore diameter but kept the same stroke

@BulkP3nguin 2 жыл бұрын

@@independentassesor2630 well of the factory floor they weren't the quickest 0-100 car because they weren't released with variable cam timing so they only made max power at 4500 and over which only gives them 1500 rpm to pull hence why these need more rpm. Look up gapsauce on KZfaq you'll love the sound of his car at 7600rpm down the 1/4. hands down best sounding v8 in my opinion...

Totally choice, real bad ass. I run a 2006 Bfll Boss 400 with the Whipple supercharger and Yella Terra injection on top and growler air intake, backed by a 6 speed, 530+ horses can get me into trouble let alone 800+ Awesome,, But with only 54000ks mine spends a lot of time in the garage.

Imo the interior is where the ford ba/bf beats out the vy/vz. The unchanged holden VT curvy doorcards just don't fit with the more square early 2000s aesthetic. Personally I also think the FG was a downgrade in terms of interior styling; they took the bf interior and tried to make it curvy and it just looks ugly. That said, I do love the look of the VE interiors, the VF even more. Even the VT/VX is pretty good, especially since the styling is consistent (albeit a bit cheap and plasticy)

So this is the Trinity engine right?

@crd-nz_001 2 жыл бұрын

Yep. Basis was Trinity 5.4 short block and DOHC Cobra heads. Ford Australia did extra work with cams, intake, exhaust, fueling, ect Ford US copied the design, put a blower on them and shoehorned them into GT500s from around 2005. Crying shame Ford Australia didnt utilise the Alloy block 5.4 from the GT(40) for a lightweight Falcon GT(HO)

Are you talking about a Pontiac? because if so you are completely wrong. The GTOs are a visually and mechanically modified 3rd generation V2-VZ Holden Monaro which was based on the Holden Commodore of the same age
