 Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2005 5:35 pm Post subject: Idea for Forced Induction section |
 |
|
I was just thinking maybe the turbo guru's could put together a turbo modification guide along the lines of what the 6 Cyclinder Workshop has.
Im sure it would be very useful for those thinking or dreaming  of owing a turbo/supercharged falcon and stop 5 new threads a week being made from people wanting to twin turbo their mums ea.
Maybe have a turbo guide/supercharger guide with:
- Pros/Cons
- Whats needed (Basics) i.e turbo, manifold, oil lines....
- Whats needed (More advanced) i.e computer/chip, injectors...
- Or even stages with rough costs, componenets and output
- Contact details of workshops who work with/sell setups for forced falcons |

as already said - short discussion about the different setups:
minimal installs - small or 2nd hand turbo, rising rate reg, retarded dizzy
complete installs - aftermarket ecu, injectors, fuel pump, FMIC
Hardcore/dreamer installs - low comp pistons and other internal mods, fabricated intakes, etc, etc
Then you have the whole supercharger vs turbo argument
Then the odd thread about the different types of superchargers and "non-capa" setups.
Could also summarize air/air, air/water and water/methanol injection for cooling. |

| perhaps there could be more information on the AU and BA-BF falcons in regards to turboing and supercharging? or just more information in general as i see the $6500 CAPA kit being recommended for all ford supercharging, but i found out that an under-hood blower could do the same thing and thats only $3000/3500 installed from a place in castle hill. and then ive read all this stuff on fordmods bout pod filters and cold air intakes. it kinda confuses me with all these mods that seem to all be supercharging |

i really think that everything needed is on this site.
i came with only basic knowledge, but spent hours and hours reading through fordmods and boostedeseries and asking appropriate questions and now have a pretty good understanding of where to go from here.
If they want to know badly enough then they have to spend the time getting to know whats really involved. Those who ask stupid 'how do i twin turbo my mums old falcon she gave me' should get banned IMO - if they don't have the patience and drive to do the research surely they aren't ready or responsible enough to turbo their car.
Having said that, for things other than turbo (eg. brakes, suspension, cams, exhaust etc) google autospeed and search for falcon (i think type frank falcon for the susopension cam and exhaust stuff) - it provides great beginners information on these things. Once you have an understanding, then ask the questions. |
