EA @ Calder 10.5@130mph

MRD-Ben · 09-07-2005, 09:43 AM

We went out to calder last nite for a look and despite it being very cold was an entertaining evening. Was very impressed with the white EA falcon the guys from Mike's dyno/Mike's race engines had out there. We saw him run a 10.5@130odd mph and then 11.2@128mph after having to peddle the car from about the 60ft mark to 1/2 track. Really impressive for a simple but very effective set up. A little bit more work and these guys will be dipping into the nines I think. Good to see people out doing it, instead of just talking it up!! Big thumbs up from Dan and Ben @ MRD.

If that's the white Falcon S, he's a forum member and his previous best was a low 11. Astounding to wipe over half a second off when he's already at that level, fantastic work.

EASPRINT · 09-07-2005, 11:36 AM

they must be getting that car to really hook up......thats an awesome time!

dansedgli · 09-07-2005, 11:39 AM

Thats awesome!!

TURBO_GHIA · 09-07-2005, 11:46 AM

so what setup is he running ,turbo, supercharger , N/A ??
anyone got any details

dansedgli · 09-07-2005, 11:48 AM

GT3540 turbo from a BA XR6 if IIRC. 295rwkw at the last count, probably more now. C4 or C10 auto.

InitialD · 09-07-2005, 12:24 PM

Yes Gunns and I saw this last night and had a chat to them, damn its quick.. complete with full EA Spack trim :P

GT3540 Turbo from a BA XR6T on a 4.0 EL motor, C4. 2:92LSD factory diff

Had to laugh when we asked how much the car was originally... $600 wreckers job ;)

LUXO_8 · 09-07-2005, 01:08 PM

i have done most of the work myself with lots of input
from Mike at Mikes Dynos

the only changes the engine has had is a head gasket,
valve springs...from xr6 and a turbo reground cam

it is currently running an early version 1 wolf

this engine has now done about 50 passes at the drags
with no problems....hopefully a 10 next time

Is it the first street regestered EA into the 10's?? A damn fair effort for a almost stock engine, an XR6T also ran a 10.56 at calder last night!

Anyone get a video of this EA doing the 10.5 second pass?

rodderz · 09-07-2005, 02:14 PM

Jeez....damn quick!

The Ford I6's will be outdoing the Nissan/VL turbo's soon enough, they are running mid 8's from memory. Take a dedicated track car with some major work and the Fords will be close to that with time

ilsautomotive · 09-07-2005, 03:53 PM

Only prob with beating VLs is that there is so much more aftermarket support for the 3.0 six, including in Japan. At least we can keep 'em very honest, and we can always argue there was a doorslammer EA that was in the 6s... :P

mr_efxr · 09-07-2005, 04:16 PM

That is awesome. To get such as heavy car pulling those times. Very impressive, this is what I like to see.

Thats one that will go down in the record books many times to come. KEEP IT UP!!

Fantastic work.

Rmyers · 09-07-2005, 04:21 PM

Holy crap, anyone got any pictures of this animal!!!

needfordspeed · 09-07-2005, 04:30 PM

Qwikcorty · 09-07-2005, 04:38 PM

Rmyers · 09-07-2005, 05:00 PM

That's mad!! Who would ever think it would run a 10!! I wanna rock up to a fast'n'furious style drags with that car!!!

niko · 09-07-2005, 05:07 PM

EFFalcon · 09-07-2005, 05:57 PM

Damn, this car just keeps getting better.
Improvements week after week

EFFalcon · 09-07-2005, 05:58 PM

btw his forum name is 'ea ba turbo'

Sundeep · 09-07-2005, 06:36 PM

That's wicked.

Anyone know what's been done to the motor, and what sort of fuel system/engine management he's running?

Sundeep

needfordspeed · 09-07-2005, 06:41 PM

Read my quote above sunny. All he's done to the engine is, different headgasket, XR6 valve springs and a cam to suit turbo.

Don't know about fuel system. He's running an older version of Wolf.

And unless they changed the system from the EB XR6, all XR6 valve springs are is the stiffest ones picked out of the normal valve spring production!

Paris Hilton · 09-07-2005, 06:42 PM

What's yours run, Sundeep?

ea ba turbo · 09-07-2005, 10:49 PM

Thanks guys for the support...all these late model cars that are
way out of reach of the ordinary man seem to be stealing all the
limelight these days.....( no offence guys, more jealousy because its
just way out of my budget. a 13 second stockie is absolutely ace, and
at that weight ) grovel grovel....

will try to put up some more recent pics of the car...

wlii be at heathcote on sat to see if we can squeeze some more out of her.

Damo · 10-07-2005, 12:38 AM

That's fricken awesome. Do you have a target or you just wanna keep pushing it till it won't go any faster ?

9's would be bloody amazing. Keep up the good sh!t! Heathcote on Saturday will be mad! I'll make sure i get heaps of pics and a vid.

blwneb · 11-07-2005, 11:01 PM

Have you rebuilt the engine, if so what have you done, you running a stall, aftermarket comp, and what boost, and driveline, it sur cant handle much more.

ea ba turbo · 10-07-2005, 09:27 AM

my aim is to knock off 2 tenths each time the car goes out

will eventually find a breaking point of something.
