Mike's KREATTD EA

[KREATTD]

Hey all, my name's Mike and i have a EA falcon (dont kringe!)
been in the build for about 18 months now and is a short way off being boosted as im just waiting on parts to be mailed down now and then all the stuff put on.

I have been on some other forums like Pertheseries and triple-d as i've i been on a few cruises round the place, thought i'd join up seeing as there are some pretty mad modded cars running round. wish i bought a supra but o well, lots of cash has gone into this and cant stop now...

some pics for now at various stages of completion... hope top see ya's on a cruise once i got boost!

for now a list of things done and things in the pipeline...

mods done
Engine
-EB multipoint engine with oversized ACL race pistons, rings bearings, shotpiened rods and crank, chemically cleaned, balanced and blueprited to a EF/EL race harmonic balancer, running EF/EL accessaries.
-Crow Cam's stage 2 turbo cam and crow double valve spings.
-EF/EL thermo's and craige davies thermatic switch thing.
-all new seals, gaskets etc
-lukey xtractors and 2.5inch cat and 2.5inch lukey zorst
-K&N pod filter (dosent count for a mod i dont think tho)
-adjustable cam timing sproket
-pretty blue 9mm topgun leads

Driveline
-T5 manual with heavy duty clutch
-changed to LSD with 3.23 raito and speed corrector

Rims
-Avanti 'punch' 18's
-lowered

Exterior
-painted green with gold pearl and green flake one half and black with green flake the other, tint, clear tail lights and indicators, moddifed front bumper.
-painted brake calipers

Interior
-painted door trims, and consol etc
-gauges (boost, water temp, oil pressure and air fuel ratio)
-blutooth pioneer headunit with pioneer attachment thingo to run USB
-pioneer 12inch subs (2), pioneer 6x9's (yellow cone ones), 6.5inch pioneer splits (yelloe cone ones), 2 monoblock pioneer amps to run subs, and 2x 2channel amps for speakers.

Things to come
-Have garrett gt35/40 ordered and waiting for arrival
-have bosch 42lb injectors and bosch 044 fuel pump waiting to go in.
-SSQ BOV and intercooler piping made up
-75x230x580mm intercooler
-38mm KKR wastegate on it's way (10psi spring)
-manifold still being custom made
-still need ECU and tuned once all is installed

should make some decent power once finnished (hopefully next few weeks depending on how long manifold will take and time off work to get the thing tuned)

[Niva]

should go fkn hard man, not a fan of the colour scheme personally..

[Joe]

Welcome to the forum.

I personally don't like the colour at all, but at least the car will have balls to back everything up. Good luck with it!

[Lonewolf]

yep, not a fan of the colour, but its your car.
Mechanicals sound bombed

[VT SS]

any other pics dude?

what sorta power you chasing ?

[waxdass]

dont think that china spec ss bov is gonna hold up

falcons are gay
super sequentials are gay

quick tip(s) - maybe mutliple - unsure yet

firstly) the top gun leans MAY cause issues in the future in terms of spark, its been widely noted with falcons, the NGK 8mm ones work a lot better/have better quality/and are cheaper

2) get yourself a wideband O2 sensor - so your AFR guage is accurate :)


and with ECU, if there is a tuner down in albany who you trust, go with the ECU they recommend.

a LOT of turbo e-series use the EMS range, a handful use Eliminator Chip, some use Autronic, 1 uses wolf (:p), and i know that XR8U (XR8 turbo) uses haltech with no issues..

so yeh, the ecu brand doesnt matter.. find a good local tuner ... if that exists down in albany :)

[Mad_Aussie]

Personally I like the design, the colour is a bit garish but hey its different, top stuff :D Very neat looking job too man

Even quicker tip...

Pay no attention to what this ^^ guy says. 3 years of massive R&D on his boosted EF =

*17 sec ET's
*Failure to spin a 15" wheel on the road, let alone 2
*An even bigger fail at doing a skid on the snakepit
*Car spends more time off the road than a ground up resto project

Haha
well maybe he's giving advise from ALL the mistakes from the EF, and from what i have read and herd, he should know about every problem a boosted falcon can have...

Matt, i dont trust any tuners down here, so i'm probably gonna bring the car up on a trailer and get it tuned in Perth, and i was thinking EMS, i'd rather spend the extra coin and get it done right.
also i dunno about hp figures but whateva the max the gearbox can handle i'd imagine, i'd hope for the coin i've spent for atleast 300 at the treads but well see, i know this turbo is capable of making much more, it's the driveline that will be the issue.

I cant believe there are so many haters about the paint :-P i guess you'll have to see it in person..

have to say i love gettin on here for shits and giggles, so many funny theads
cheers mike

[KERMIT120Y]

hey mikes its daniel.
jareds mates joshs bro. haha confusing.
people dont hate on the paint. see it in person and its sweet:P
shud be good 2 see this thing running man. how far away is it?
u still live in barker? havnt seen you/your car in ages

[180SXTCY]

nope it doesnt do it for me. good luck with it

[Torquen]

no a fan of the paint at all. As for mods, will be intresting to see what a boosted EA V8 can do! good luck with it all mate.

[31-EVO]

It's certainly different, and for that I give you props. Definately not my thing though, but I have to say, I'm really glad to see all the older Fords getting some massive amounts of boost love. Best of luck with the rest of the build.

heya, welcome..

good choice getting the tuning done in perth. At least it will be done right the first time.
We have a so called "TUNER" down here that has never tuned a car but is a full bottle on it. (fucking has no idea) to put it simple.

have fun

Wow do you know anything about cars or are you just ignorant?lol :smileysex :wave::monkeys:

[Miggy]

Nice turbo choice this thing will fly with a gt35/40 good work.

[XF Falcon]

that's the most inline v8 I've ever seen Torquen ;)

[Smoked]

inline v8 LOL

[locote]

Clearly a V8

[KERMIT120Y]

he lives down the road from me and sorry mate but its a straight 6.
look at the green pipes off the head. u can just see the 5th 1 in the corner of the pic

It's a inline 6 as been mentioned. I dont think ea's ever came out in a v8?

you live down the road from me? where?

[KERMIT120Y]

lol well practically down the road. dont wana say my last name over the forums but you gave us some 6x9 speakers 1 time lol. my bro use 2 own that magna wagon? n if u havnt seen that he now owns the parmenters old nc fairlane? blue?
still dont know? haha

[KREATTD]

The turbo arrived the other day and it's alot bigger than i expected, but by looking at Tocci's thread it's only a small turbo compared to some!
Have any of you boosted falcon boys found that you had to lower your compression? I have a head shim here, but i didnt put it in when the engine was rebuilt because i wanted to bed the rings in etc and drive around with the car N/A whilst still saving funds..

oh yeh i know your brother, think i know who you are as well.

[KERMIT120Y]

yeh i brought my pocket rocket round 1 time but it kept stuffing up.
good luck with ur car bud :D

oh yeh i know your brother, think i know who you are as well.

yeh mines really waste on a 4L... unless the motor can rev out to 7500/8000rpm which it cant without a LOT of money spent


ben (fritzz), steve (red eb turbo) and somebody else (cant remember name) are running Dev5 setups - which are high compression.
its all in the tune... saying that... bens running 400rwkw+ on a stock bottom end with a high compression motor
*edit* and steve's turbo EB ran 514.8rwhp on the stock bottom end... it eventually died... but that was after about 30,000km of thrashing i believe

[hylanderr]

not a big fan of the paintjob, different but yh

[locote]

Dont these motors have a 8.8:1 stock C/R???

[schnoods]

Nice to see the direction this cars going.

As long as you start off reasonable first and not expect too much off the bat it will be good.

good luck.

[Torquen]

Wow do you know anything about cars or are you just ignorant?lol :smileysex :wave::monkeys:


that's the most inline v8 I've ever seen Torquen ;)

Lol, yes just realised what i wrote :slap: should prob read more carefully befor posting! Been a long, long week...
Anyway im of to go drive my inline V8 XR6 now :P

[locote]

Well even if you had read, wouldnt have made your point of view any different as it doesnt say in the details if its a 8 or a 6...

[Torquen]

^meh...

[KREATTD]

got a bit of an update..

http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo220/KREATTD/DSCF2720.jpg

http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo220/KREATTD/DSCF2719.jpg

http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo220/KREATTD/21042009003.jpg

had the car tuned at ova boost with an EMS stinger ECU, got 300rwhp at 7 psi, and got 328rwhp at 10psi. Gies pretty good, screamer sounds mad.

want more power later, just need the driveline to be upgraded..

let us know what ya think! Mike

[RICEY]

Good power, whats she weigh?

[KREATTD]

Good power, whats she weigh?

1500kg mate with a large sterio. not like these new falcons

[RICEY]

Youd be well into the 13s maybe even a high 12 then Im guessing?

[KREATTD]

Youd be well into the 13s maybe even a high 12 then Im guessing?

low 7's i'd say..

kidding, i havent taken it down the strip yet, would be interesting to see, i'd say it's the driver that would let it down if anything. i'll let you know once i take it down. I'll upload some vids soon as well

[Tocchi]

mike, remove that stereo (guys its huge lol), and shift good, then 12s are highly possible :)

keep it in, and you will run a low 13. Matt (effectiv) ran a 13.2 with similar power to you, and EFs are around 1500kg

[KREATTD]

love the BOV, hehe

slowing down, i thought the rims and the paint looked hot...

[Davo]

umm from watching the "GATE" one from the look of it my Stock GTR will kill that thing coz u hear "GATE" but no move... wat is with that or must be shit cam???

[Torquen]

last vid is awsum!

[KREATTD]

umm from watching the "GATE" one from the look of it my Stock GTR will kill that thing coz u hear "GATE" but no move... wat is with that or must be shit cam???

dunno mate, seemed not bad when i was driving it! turned the boost back down to as low as it would go (7psi) like 2 days after i got it back to help the gearbox last longer. was still pulling 300at the wheels tho, so i'm not sure..

[Turbo2.6L]

Hahahaha nice pickup Torquen!

What power has your stock GTR got & what boost does it run from factory? I'm sure it has similar power levels & runs more boost, plus it's a factory turbo charged car meaning everything is synced to the turbo, unlike with this EA that has standard NA driveline...


BTW, nice car KREATTD :D Paint scheme is certainly different & not everyone's cup of tea but i think it looks pretty good! Hopefully we'll see it on an AL cruise in the near future?

[Davo]

well wen i got my GTR guy said around 12PSI.. but i only had it for 2months now.. and around 0.9boost

[KREATTD]

:lol:

cheers mate, hope to come along sometime for sure! some of your cruises seem pretty mad from what i've herd.. and i've already lost my licence twice and i NEED it for my work.. but sure if it means EATING SOME RICE i'm sure i can make an exception...:lol:

(kidding, don't go all emo on me, i know this site is full of imports..) :)

and about the paint, I like it but I got reversed into and the dark green flake side is damaged... so maybe at the end of the year i'll have it painted again and probably different, we'll see what happens though.

[KREATTD]

well wen i got my GTR guy said around 12PSI.. but i only had it for 2months now.. and around 0.9boost

how much boost do these things run stock? and how much rwhp do they make stock? your car would be different though in that mine wont rev as hard as yours, but my engine would probably produce more lower end torque? may be wrong?

[KREATTD]

mike, remove that stereo (guys its huge lol), and shift good, then 12s are highly possible :)

keep it in, and you will run a low 13. Matt (effectiv) ran a 13.2 with similar power to you, and EFs are around 1500kg

i herd if you drain the oil you can gain abit as well cos it's less weight, and taking off the filter cos that's extra weight you dont need, hey matt? maybe thats why you ran a 16 second quarter...


I'll remember to remove the sterio then when I take it down the strip then!

is it cheating to remove the rear seats, trims, etc as well? suppose it has to be 'street trim'?

[cactus]

I have about 180kgs of stereo in my boot + doors, dont see the point in taking it out when I go to drags because you never drive your car around the street/cruises with it stripped out.

Maybe for a fast friday or a hi-tech meet or something like that, but why bother on a wednesday night :)

I like the paint!

[Turbo2.6L]

Agree 100%
I run mine in full street trim when i go down, including lowered suspension & full interior.

[KREATTD]

bit of an update ladies..

I'm gettin the Brass button clutch off Tocchi EF cos atm it's slipping pretty bad once try to get some power running through it.

Also got a 4inch pod today to replace the 3inch and the bit on the intake that reduces from 4" to 3". Also will be looking to get an AU gasket soon and go for another tune at about 15 psi or so... would hope for close to 400rwhp (and yes i sourced a spare T5 gearbox)

Also with my BOV, it's like china spec SSQV rip-off, when i hit boost and take my foot off the accellerator it goes PPPppssssshhhhhhh and doses as well, isnt dosing bad for the turbo??
would a proper HSK BOV have more/better airflow and stop the dosing?
or can you add another BOV to stop the dosing (like run 2 BOV's)?

Also was supposed to have the screamer plumbed back in this morning, but will be done at the end of the week now.. I will be able to take a piece out and return it back to a screamer if i want at a later date though. As cool as it sounds, i think it's for the best being plumbed back in.. Ill add some pics later.

[Turbo2.6L]

Don't be weak, keep the screamer atmo spec

[locote]

^^^^what he said^^^^

[KREATTD]

been a while since an update...

snapped (as in shattered) 3rd gear a few weekends back :( but is all good cos got another T5 and stuck it in over a weekend on jack stands.

got some photo's as well and a lil clip from when she was being tuned.

need more boost! (and a gearbox that can handle it)

enjoy
