G'day all
Been watching this site since the very early days and finally decided to get off my **** and join up. I've had my EA since Dec1994 and its still going strong but must convert it to Multi Point as the CFI seems to need the various sensors replaced too often for my liking! Anyone else find that this happens to them as well? Cheers Frank. :1syellow1

Welcome aboard mate, you may have a record for ownership there. You put my 5 years to shame.

Welcome. MPI is certainly the way to go. I've never driven an EA CFI Falcon but with 120kW from the CFI and 139kW from the MPI (from the factory), it should give you a noticable boost in performance, as well as get rid of your sensor problems.
Wow. An EA for 11 years! I've only had mine for 3 and a half, and the only reason I've still got it is that I can't afford a newer car!

Thanks guys. The good news is that it has Pacemaker headers and a 2.5 inch system which when dynoed raised rear wheel horsepower from 85kw to 100kw which is pretty damn good i reckon! :voldar02: :voldar02: :voldar02:

There are approx 1.33 horsepower per kilowatt. So, if your car has 100 rear wheel kilowatts, then it has approx 133 horsepower at the rear wheels. Same for engine power.. If a BOSS XR8 has a 260 kilowatt engine, then it's horsepower reading would be approx 346. Hope this has helped. |

Just out of interest, how many head gaskets have you gone through in your 11 years of ownership? (this isn't a smartarse question either)

Would you believe i have never had to change the head gasket but am considering doing it to finally fix the dreaded timing cover leak unless someone knows a better way of doing?
