Ba/Bf falcon gear shifter surround replacement (how to)
zhlédnutí 54KPřed 8 lety
How to replace bubbled shifter surround and globe in all Ba and bf 4 speed falcons.
My transmission jolts into gear and sometimes when I shift there is bang before shifts into gear. Any idea what is wrong? I was thinking might be transmission mount. It’s a btr 4 speed
How to do the manual one
Your legit the only guy ive found on youtube that has done a video on swapping a turbo motor in na im doing the same and should be done soon in the shop hoping to make 350/400kw how much did you make ?
hey im swapping a 04 BA turbo motor into a 07 NA BF and I'm wandering will the BA turbo ecu connect to the BF body???
Hey mate, i have just finished converting my na to turbo running gear. All I can say is I wish I seen your videos 12 months ago! 😅 Very very informative in-depth videos by a level headed sensible fella, even though I have finished the conversion I still watched all your na.t conversion videos and appreciate the time and effort in documenting while building ! It's a shame you didn't continue creating content related to the xr (mods/tune and review and maybe getting around to putting a set of rods and pistons in it) Possible revival ??
Thanks for the kind words mate! how is yours all running? To give an update on the car quiet a lot has happened since these videos were filmed. I converted it to a 6 speed manual and its now running just shy of 350rwkw on 14psi. I found that by the time i was doing those mods to the car youtube had become so saturated with 1000hp barra builds that it seemed there was little desire for content like mine anymore where as when i started there was very little content on conversions. I haven't really got any car projects going at the moment but if i end up doing anything unique again that i feel will help people if i upload it'll appear!
My au has the chip, Cooler adjusted solenoid and lucas additive and does 0-100 in 7.9 on 8psi but it could be faster with btr tune i think for 2-3 shift.
The 2-3 shift really seems to be slow in these transmissions. What ever it is that engages the gear be it a band or clutches just doesnt seem to bite like 1st-2nd does
What if yiu get a electronic boost contol set up separately as i think i have one hybrid hdi boost contol yeah lets hope that works Because they're honestly. Isn't any information anywhere you'll lick the only guy doing it now im doing haha but ive fot mine flashed i found out mine is a bf 2006 and not ba 2005
you can use an external boost controller you just have to get the car tuned to suit. I prefer using the factory boost control though because it gives the tuner far greater control when tuning. For what its worth this cars now running 340rwkw on 14psi and the factory boost control is working perfectly

This got the job done for me. Thanks 👍
I’m planning on doing a few things to my ba such as swap out the whole diff cradle for a turbo cradle for stronger cvs then I want to also throw in a trutrac to lock the diff cause open diffs give me night mares while also going 3:73 diff gears any tips on what to get and what to look out for and if it’s possible?
I've got another video on the channel about doing a basic overhaul on the diff. Biggest issue you'll run into is changing the diff gears. It's easy to set the backlash and preload with the screw adjusters but you'll likely have to change the pinion depth which is set by shims. Unless you have a mate that works at a diff shop that can sling you an assortment of shims to try you really need access to a lathe and machine up shims or some other method. I'm sure there's places you can buy them but any i've found have been quiet expensive
primo vid crack up my bro at least your honest ...all trial and era
Love it
How did you do that can you tell me everything you did
It is possible with the three finger 75 mm 3' side of the puller. Usually put a rubberband around the threefingers to keep them controlable . The three finger one fits between the radiator and the engine part , the fans can be removed 1) undo electrical clip 2) remove 10mm both sides at the top only , lift and wiggle it out . Thanks for the vid and the good idea for when the motor is out . That puller may not fit when the engine is in the vehicle . Seen a lot of your great videos .Thanks😊
Awesome tip mate thanks as I've replaced 3 boxes in mine
Brilliant mate.
It is a brilliant idea glad I can make a cheap alternative hard to see where the shackles go got two on need one more and allgood to pull
Great Idea but the trigger wheel gets in the way for AU's.
Looks mint
Very nicely assembled. Liked the way you checked your clearances. I worked in a engine reconditioning shop for several years. Hope it is running well for you.
Thanks mate, so far so good with the engine. It's done 20,000ks now and is pushing 340rwkw
6 speed is different just to remove the P,R & N bezel, so much easier!
G'day Lad, great video covering all the aspects of these diffs. One small point, at 45 min your calculations are off. 195 x 3.46= 674.7 not 467.1. So you were about middle range if spec. Would love to see vid on the solid axle design, eg, ute diff. Also checking / replacing of the LSD parts.
You're dead right i definitely made a mistake there. I have no idea what happened to end up with that result. Its a shame about the ute diff, i actually had the solid axle version of this diff apart out of my fg ute earlier this year. It wasn't a full rebuild but i had to remove the center to change the carier bearings and the lsd friction plates so sort a clunk it had on takeoff. Sadly i didn't film it.
All those bolts are in same position E series, with a few inches. Put an AU or B series interior into a E series and find out. 😂
Watched a bunch of barra stuff from 2013 and have no idea why your stuff missed the bus. Probably u t algorithms not hooking me up. Nice work ans explanations. Will sub after i post
Thanks mate! i think mostly just because my videos are long so they don't really suit casual watching.
Keep it up. Them long vids reveal a lot of detail to help get the job done right. Appreciate it much....
Question ive gotta replace the BTR inhibitor switch 4 speed anything to know before doing this thanks
Fantastic video, thanks mate!
Thanks mate!
Cheers mate thanks for sharing 👍
no problems!
For the bottle use an old Palmolive shower gel bottle and find or buy a hose about 50cm that fits snug and push it in as far as it goes
Initally we did this on a 280,000km NA +t BA and worked a treat till the gbox got hot. Unfortunately a few laps at the track killed it but this mod helped out until the oil pump couldnt keep up with the temp. Ive just now bought a factory turbo and am wondering what the difference is between this mod and just trimming the s5 solenoid in the tune. I feel like this just changes how much effect the solenoid has, same as trimming it back in the tune right? My ones not slipping or anything but needs some care after the abuse its had in a past life
I haven't played with the s5 solenoid in the tune to see exactly what you can do. I actually no longer own any btr 4 speeds anymore, i've since converted the car to a 6 speed manual so i stopped experimenting. This just changes the base pressure of the solenoid and the tune still varies it resulting in the pressure being higher across the board. Changing it in the tune would have a similar effect but I'm unsure if you can adjust the solenoid as drastically in the tune as you can mechanically, you could definitely do both in combination as well but there would have to be a limit before things break. What i had planned to do next is fit an electronic shift kit and wire it into a boost pressure switch to allow the auto to function as normal and then engage the shift kit over a set boost pressure such as 6psi which would help retain shift quality off boost. I also have purchased pcmtec since filming this and have had a brief look at the tables available for the btr. They're hard to understand but it looks like it is quiet possible there is a lot more tunability besides just shift pressure that could help these boxes last.
Hi mate Any info on the Mace m86 diffs? Cheers
Hey Mate, i haven't used one sorry. I assume you're referring to their trutrac style clones? i did look into them when i rebuilt this and couldn't find much info except for a forum post of a few guys saying they were ok but not as strong as the proper eaton units.
Great work mate.
I have an AU & a BA & I have extensive knowledge of both & this just seems like a pointless swap imo as barras have a few issues such as oil pump gears is the main thing. imo u r much better off just turboing or supercharging the intech as it can sit on rev limter for years with no issue a barra will spit out oil pump gears real quick if u do that to it. barras r tuff but not if u dont install billet oil pump gears before subjecting them to punishment. Intechs never die & u can punish them af in stock form a barra u cant. imo u should of spent time turboing the intech it'll make pretty much the same power figures as a barra turbo full stop
Love your work
