Chasing 2000hp from a Ford Barra turbo | fullBOOST

- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- The Ford Barra engine has become Australia's most popular six and with good reason. In stock form they are cheap to source and have loads of potential. We caught up with Dandy Engines recently who were engine dyno tuning Corey Jackson's Barra equipped with forged billet internals, a huge Precision turbo and FuelTech EFI. The engine will be fitted to Corey's Ford FG Falcon.

Nuckin futs!!!!
Love this! Great down to earth interview, Frank sounds like a champ!
Compound setup looks neat, has anyone ever converted a conrod into plasma with boost before?
Can you guys reupload all the old Denzo videos you made with him?
Did you pay the laughing guy for his image IP ??
I could listen to Frank talk about engines all day, and full respect to him not shying away that he messed up with the oiling system sucking the sump dry. Legend of the game.
Same man! Love his work and how clean he is and yeah like you said about the oiling system even man what a good bloke
If you don't break it you don't know the limits.
@@wobblysauce that’s it!
He's a champion isn't he.. Just oozes honesty and integrity..
And the credit he gave other builders. This guy just screams honesty.
We want more Frank! What a noble, humble bloke.. honest in his learnings and very knowledgeable unlike some other engine builders, hats off.
Full feature on that FG’s set up.. 👌🔥
I would love to see that.
Same
Yeah looks insane
Has to be done
That an awesome set up, just can’t believe they offer this package for 2k 😮... amazing
I could listen to Robert DeNiro -- I mean Frank -- talk about this stuff all day. What a capable bloke.
I think it’s safe to say that the Barra is the best inline 6 cylinder engine of all time, Especially when it comes to Bang for buck 🇦🇺
Incoming jz fanboys in 3 2 1...
It’s too big, heavy, doesn’t rev, and sounds like shit. RB26 on the other hand...
@@Joe-qc2fw On the other hand is way more expensive, makes way less torque and you can destroke a Barra as seen with the 2200hp dynomite Ba falcon, The Barra is not as heavy as you think, Put one on a scale
@@bn468 Do you have any idea how much a 2000hp Barra build costs? At this point cost compared to an RB is irrelevant.
@@Joe-qc2fw Yea it costs a shit ton, But guess who’s still using the cast block and head 😉 #Barratheworld 🇦🇺
refreshingly honest and down to earth video - 45psi, 8000rpm on a engine your learning about - wow what legends dandy engines!!
This is a engine builder too use if your down under. His honest way of doing things and learning openly. That’s worth every cent. Great guy.
Frank seems like the most genuine bloke. Man doesn’t have an ego to defend. Is honest about his mistakes and accepts and improves on them 👍🏻
And my stinky old 190kW, 383Nm normally aspirated BF Fairmont Ghia with ZF6 feels responsive and quick with 300 thousand +kms on the dash. Barra the world!
Dandenong is the home of horsepower. Love watching the success coming out of that suburb. Also so much CZcams content coming out of Dandenong too: Fullboost, Max Performance, Street Machine Carnage to name a few.
Well done lads
Frank, well how honest and down to earth is he..blows me away, think anything you give dandy, you won't be unhappy with the results, fantastic vid on the Barra, but anything ol' Frank/ dandy team touch is a work of art.
FuelTech is proving very VERY popular over other brands, even locally designed brands.
2:54 yeh we were just playing around with an 88mn turbo 😂😂😂
Aye like wtf 88 is still fucking huge 😂😂😂😂😂
The last 5 seconds looks wild.
its crazy how much things move around at high rpm!
He wasn't referring to that...watch beyond the end screen 👍
@@fullboost compound setup! cant wait to see that coverage. cheers
@@fullboost when will this last frame story be revealed?
The computers and stuff it’s all hooked up too looked like they would blow up before the engine. #barraismyworld
Dandy have a great reputation and its refreshing to see an engine builder being so open and informative rather than the old secret squirrel.
If I ever visit the land down under it would be DANDY to meet such a guy as Frank!
That's a big compressor housing. Has anyone seen the Dandy Engines shop cat since this dyno session?
I think it's a different kind of puss that gets around there.
Frank needs his own build channel. Amazing content. He's like the Gale Banks of petrol engines
That's how you develop real learnings I guess. Do your homework, make careful and structured changes, measure the outcomes and go again. Much respect to Frank and his approach. And humility too.
How bloody nice is Frank!
Love his processes too.
Not a barra fan but bugger me they are making some bloody power, im sure this set up cost at least 4000 bucks. Would love a video like this on Australia's most powerful home grown engine. Bubbas "Holden" motor still holds that title if im not wrong at 2400rwhp.
Haha, no Holden's were harmed in the making of bubbas motor. 😂
@@fordfalcon1965 hahaha I'll give ya that!!
Not for long
Another great video , edited and informative done brillantly.
To hear frank say that the engine spun a bearing shows what a person he is .
Like so many in this trade he could of bullshitted and said nothing and big noted himself. Credit to him for being honest and humble. Well done by all .
I've owned my BA XR6t for two years now and it's starting to have a few gremlins that I'm not able to fix at the moment ($$$ short) Sometimes you contemplate selling cars because of the headaches....then you see motivational uploads like this and know you can't sell it lol. I'm never going to be building anything like this but it reminds me how stout these cars are when running smoothly. +1 for the beard too 👌😉
great video, great R&D ! thanks to fullboost for the great questions in the interview, and Frank for his detailed well explained answers, well done to all. What a great time to be alive ! May as well have fun while we all can
That compound turbo set up at the end looks friggin insane!!!!!🐱👤
Keen to see the next episode on this!! Please keep us updated!
A perfectly put-together piece of video on a perfectly put-together engine 👍 could watch it a few times in a row. Cheers
That man beard near a barra is good for +50hp
Well done Frank!
No bullshit and you tell it how it is.
You can build any of my engines mate!
Tech Tip: AN sizes are divisors of a 1/16th of an inch for the hose size. It doesn't take in account for the ID of a fitting though. Ie. AN6 = 6/16 = 3/8 hose. AN10 = 10/16 = 5/8 hose. AN16 = 16/16 = 1 inch hose
That's what test and tune is all about. Find it's happy place. She'll live a lot life.
I'll be sharing this video.
Mental power out of a six.
Nice to see a Fueltech management sistem on this!
Greetings from Brasil!
The sound that turbo makes is scary haha, it is so cool.
now that’s R&D , cool vid 👍🏼🏁
Great video,what a wealth of knowledge Frank is.
The set-up underneath the back of that falcon is awesome.
Besides the great Barra content, that Jeff Kendall deck looks sick! Proper old school
Frank is the best bloke his so humble so calm and the knowledge he holds is nothing short of amazing his as real as it gets and I wish there where more men out there like him.. awsome build 87psi now you said it we want to see it 🤯 🇦🇺 power 💪
Such a humble guy. Great video guys.....informative also !
that WG Vband was hanging on for dear life.
Needs a screamer pipe, just for Luke. 😉👍
I always enjoy videos with Dandy Engines. Very cool
dandy engines are going to lead the barra revolution hahaha. Another awesome video guys it would of been epic to see literally ' Fullboost' !!!!
Man that is mad!
Good camera angle for the interview.😂😂🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀🍀🍀😎
Variable cam timing is something you definitely want to keep. There's some funky stuff you can do with it and makes for less lag etc.
Higher compression helps with lag also. The FGXR6T has a low 8.9:1 cr.
All 2021 OEM Tunbo cars run 11:1 cr.
Problem is thar you start running into phaser control when you exert crazy backpressure or charge air pressure on the backside of the valves. Plus, you're fighting higher spring rates. Oil pressure can only exert so much pressure on the vanes in the phasers.
hi Frank thanks for the mention. :)
8:23 "apprehentious" = say that again meme
There will be some seriously upset people if he puts a Barra in the XW😵
And there's me blowing up tailshafts with 500hp 🥴
Awesome vid FB. Nice work Frank, thanks for sharing! (2k barra or 2k turbsky) ;-P
maybe someone should inform frank you can get more power from a stock motor with valve springs!
is it just me or does it look like the nut on the precision turbo comp wheel is only held on by 2 threads. what a build and top work frank, his always pushing builds to the limits! top bloke!
The Chevy 6 where I’m from are making 2500 on stock block and head running 5s.
Don’t have access to Barras here. But it’s cool to see one that can make 2k
Can you post a link? Yes, there are Barras making 2500hp on the factory cast block and head.
That oil pump set up was impressive and the injectors look different, 8000 rpm, vernier cams, wonder what the oiling solution will be ?
The injectors are actually called atomizers. They are basically just big ass fuel injectors haha.
Add a push/pull overflow sump to the existing pan to add volume, or replace with a larger custom pan. Dry sump is also an option.
Awesome Barra power.
Hahahahaahha Frank’s a legend! 😂
I think the old Boy says " fly on a donkey to Mecca" funny as.
Next Dandy Engines / FullBoost Episode: Frank explains compound interest.
It’s awesome seeing what some of these builders are coming up with, especially in recent times with the wider availability of E85 and race fuels. I’d love to see someone take a completely different approach and screw something together with just one limitation: it can only run on 91 octane, proper dog shit fuel. Yes, that will limit things like boost and compression, but I’ve never seen anyone find the true limit of the power potential of the petrol your mum runs in her Camry.
Someone should put a high HP barra in a supra. that will upset a lot of fanbois
Won’t run any good times so no one would be upset
@6KillaBC nope the mk 4 supra
If you have not much money go Barra if you want records go 2jz.its just a solid block trailer queen.with shit top end.seen and Barras taking on 2500 hp lambos in highway pulls to top end like the Jz does.keep dreaming on about your Barra.
@@brentonwood5464 keep dreaming about your English grammar lol
@@Monstero5o yeah not shit hey.i think android is a worse speller then the I phone.just saying.
If the intake valve is left open for a fractions when the piston reaches the bottom, the momentum of the incoming air will continue to maximize full filling of the cylinder.
I throw out this challenge:
How fuel efficient can you make a Barra? (now imagine a "boy-oyng" sound at the end of this question.)
JUST RECEIVED MY “Barra says F*ck your LS” Shirt, and it fits like a beauty! 2000/10 for How nice it fits I ordered medium good quality I love it. I’m about the size of the average Australian. #barratheworld
Dam! Thats the ducks guts
I hope one day you achieve your goal. Please keep us posted on this amazing build project.
Real Aussie petrolheads having a chat😂 Love this 🇭🇲 Frank is as fair dink as they come😄
Not a bad way to spend my sunday morninh
3:05 -- like the singing of the angels themselves
Love dyno videos!
please make sure ya get the video on the hub dyno, wanna see the torque this puts out xx
FuelTech everywhere 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
honest engine builder, bravo 10:00
more content about the compound barra! maybe a boost response comparison Richard Holdener style!
Frank is a true legend and gentleman.
Just got a sticker will purchase a shirt and jumper soon enough.
If the f#ck the Ls is a shirt I’ll buy it now
Okay I found the shirt! Purchased.
WINNER OF HORSEPOWER HEROES IN IT'S CLASS
Ford Australia, u folk developed hands down the best 6 cylinder engine of all ⏰⏰⏰ The enhanced versions out there . Well we ❤ our v8 rumble . But $$ 4 $$ u cant go past a Barra tubo 6 . The only other engine that may come close 2 this is a Gen 3 Hemi with a race blower from whipple with a built in cooler & it made 1700hp plus or minus . Pretty sure it was ++ Cant recall engine size . 6 .2 or 6.4 ltr . Tremendous Dandy Engines . A feal treat . ❤ ur work 👏👍👌
and its going into a FG WHICH HAS MAD FABRICATION DONE
Just found the person to build my engine 🤩🤩
Barra engine are the best. And you can't beat it
Kinda silly comment , of course you're going to have to do lash alot on a pushrod engine vs ohc . Wish we got barra here , i would put one in my stang even though half my clevland came from Australia.
that is a falcon indeed
Anybody that ever drove an XA/XB falcon six with the old log intake on it will be in disbelief that that engines great grandson is making that power at 8+ thousand rpm. Lordy!.
Yep! Just what I was thinking. Highest I ever saw was 4700 in my old TC Cortina!
OMG it’s compound turbo time!
mount a water mist injector to the intercooler so it sprays a few droplets of water mist when in boost and i bet u will gain those ponys needed... I WANT 1 OF THESE ENGINE ASAP TO MY E46 bmw 323ci convertible and a 8 speed dct
Compound RB!? that will be nuts.
I’m surprised that it doesn’t have billet dry sump oil pan and dry sump valve covers
This things revs over 8K !!!!!
Over here in the US you would be lucky to get a Ford straight six will make about 825HP at 40 psi of boost
Stutututututututu love that sound
This is awesome.
Barra the World
Did he just say factory head and block. Holy fuck! 💪🏻
I think that dodgy Ocky strap would have created bigger problems if it had broke!!
Awesome video
BIG BAD BAAARRAaaa ‼️ the Real Ozzie’s choice ! 😎
BARRA'S ARE AWESOME
Imagine this car coming to America and slapping a lot of cars asses by showing them its tailights all the time.
Excellent article.
