Will an E-SERIES I6 ever see the 9s??

[BOOSTDEF]

Hi,

I was out saturday night listening to the VLT talk ups, and i was wondering what would be needed to get the falcon 6 into the 9s..

Ive seen the EA do 10.5 with the 3 speed, but is that the quickest I6 out there??

What would be needed?? I see these falcons with 400+ rwkw, so surely with the right suspension and grip they would come close??

[DUMTEF]

i reckon once ea_ba turbo hits his nos it will see very low 10's if not high 9's

[Racecraft]

just the tranny and rear end.. Don't forget the 10.5 is done on a stock bottom end... Not that rebuilt would make more power but would give the scope to wind the boost up in search of the bigger HP numbers.
GFD Im quite a regular at Willowbank and would see a handful of 10 second cars,, and I have never seen a VL.. I know the VL's do own, they have a few years head start on R&D don't forget. But I am yet to see a sub 10 sec VL in QLd so my guess is the BroadwaterCarpark clowns can read magazines like the rest of us..

your def out at a tnt on the wrong nights then
i know a few qld VLT's who make the run to sydney who are high 9's and low 10's go to calaisturbo the qikest is around 8 sec highs to low 9's and easy 10's

that says alot though we do have X series rides pushing 10's and im sure one does 9's but im unsure :P

[BOOSTDEF]

yeh i know theyve had 10+ years more, and an off the floor car with a turbo, but the fact is there are VLTs running in the 8s, and i just wanna see an e-series match it, or do better.

The setbacks i see are the wieght unfortunately. But if a stock bottom end can run a 10.5, surely there is scope for a few more seconds?? What power figure are we looking at??

I just laugh at narrow minded holden fans bragging about the nissan motor that got them fast times.

[Racecraft]

yea but the cars running 8's are beit full house drag cars with a redgo plate.. Full tubs, half if not full chassis, NOS to spool the turbs... No one has gone all out like that with an E series car..

[BOOSTDEF]

yeh i understand. Well, i would sure love to see somebody go all out with an e-series. Anybody had a qtr mile run with both turbo and nos?? Or is it yet to be done?

[gozza]

well when i win the lotto i'll put 100 thou into me i6 and do it

[big_waity]

Sounds like you are stepping up to the plate there Bosstd. I'd really like to see someone go mad with decent times in an EF. Actually, my mate Cossie who has a turbo EF is probably stupid enough to go that hardcore. He has pured plenty of money into the project thus far, I might rattle his cage a little and see if I can get him to spend some money on NOS. Although, I'll have to get him to replace the headgasket first.

[XR8 Uterous]

Isnt there a EF with a ba xr6t driving it, that has got pretty close to the 9's didnt it? I'm not sure if the car is actually around, my uncle told me about it and he talks it up quite a bit...

[big_waity]

I'm pretty sure that there is only one XR6T to bust into the 9's, so the odds of someone getting the same sorta times outa an EF are pretty slim. Won't say it cant happen though.

theres one BA for sale here somewhere that did a 9.8 or something. But again, these are motors made for the Ts.

I would love to see one of these 4 litres, decompressed, 24lbs of boost, nos and driveline, fuel and suspension to suite...

Std E.B compression is 8.8 to1 and can run 18 Lb @ 8* advance tiiming. So some C16 it will get there easy..Idealy alittle de-compression won't go astray..How about the other way..12 to 1 comp and use straight alcahol ??
Fuel delivery would want to be very custom as a/r on that stuff is 6 to 1...Or there abouts..Taking sway bars etc off helps too..

[dansedgli]

There is one member on here who I reckon may get the job done very soon.

[BOOSTDEF]

yeh, come on dan... Who is it lol I wanna read up on what hes got.

[EASPRINT]

I can think of a couple who will have a crack real soon. The JMM Turbo will be one to watch once it gets the race setup...definately a 9sec car. TUFED6 is also a potetial 9sec car. After Easter i'm gonna setup to go racing...fit up the auto and 9inch, and do some suspension changes and see how quick i can go. But the humble E-series can definately go with the VL T's....dont worry about that!

[FRDXR6]

Theres a video of that EA running a 10.74 at 128mph recently at Calder Park on www.fullboost.com

[snypereb]

Do we have have a pic of the fastest e-series so far?

[EASPRINT]

This would be one of the fastest....

[TUFED6]

My auto is ready and waiting at Keas. Just waiting for the bellhousing, which is being made by a company in Geelong. Apparently its a stronger C10 style bellhousing, supposed to be a fair bit better than the Dellow product. But being a prototype its taking a while. :(

After that, just need to get a tailshaft made up and retuned for race gas, then its game on.

yeah i am aiming 4 the 11sec mark dont hold your breath 4 9 sec out of me however i have a mate in an eb that is chasing the 4L sohc highs horespower and he wants 2 run 9's he alread has the cage and resorces 2 do it his old boy ownes a auto spares place and is his sponcer

[EASPRINT]

Looking good TUFED6.....Can't wait to see it in action......Look out VL's......My car is in pieces at the moment, just slowly preparing for some racing action.... :Up_to_som

[BOOSTDEF]

oh man, 460rwkw??? JESUS...

EASPRINT, that is a huge rear housing? when does it spool up?

I can see a few of you getting there, im excited now.. Never knew there were so many race setups on the way.

Ive seen some big HP I6s, but they have all been dyno queens. Its good to see some falcs getting ready for the qtr.. Im excited.

Looking at the car on fullboost... Interesting to see hes gone the earlier E series intake manifold?? Whats the go with that?

But 395rwkw and a 10 second pass, thats a good sign i think.

Around 3400rpm with the manual......should spin up a little quicker with the auto and a trans brake.. _2:

[BOOSTDEF]

cool... gonna go a huge stally???

ive got the 1.06 but mines spooling up a little late.. needs a proper tune though..

with the 2800 stall, it stalls up, then hits boost about 400rpm later and then goes spastic(sideways).. thats with a 3.08.

You going C4?

[EASPRINT]

still undecided on box type...looking at a few boxes in the states....C4/C9/Powerglide and Turbo 350.

[ea ba turbo]

Adrian Vella would be currently the quickest E series around having run a 10.25

Monster of a car and will go 9's eventually......

After easternats i will give the gas a hit on mine and see what she will do.

I will be at calder on friday night to try and improve on the 10.44 she did a
couple of weeks ago :1syellow1

need to get more boost off the line!!!!!!!!

[dansedgli]

How much boost can you launch with?

[ea ba turbo]

Only leaving with about 5psi at the moment

Working on a few things during the week to try and improve it
it is currently pushing through the footbrake.....

Looking foward to seeing TUFED6 and EASPRINT in action soon

[ned]

I can see TUFED6 making it into the 9's, good luck to all those who attempt it!
