RIPSS runs them she makes 2000hp and run 7.7 @ 187mph tested enough. I have them, they are top quality, cant break them! Expensive to buy and install by the time you do trutrack and diff hat, bushs etc.

Hmm, that's about as efficient as a package could ever be to punch out those figures. Seems a bit high to me, even with a fully ported head cams etc. boost and rpm also low. good results none the less

Give Jet a go mate, many happy customers and been working on the Falcons for ages. He probably is the best for tunning the ZF in SA!

Mike from MV Automatics in Blackwood built my 6r80. His done a few. Box hasn’t let me down and I’m running 750kw @ the wheels. The ZF tune is the tricky thing here in SA. Mike can build the box no problem. Not many know how to tune them if anyone here in Adelaide. ZF is a pain in the arse that's why so many go T400. In saying that my box is just fine for a good blast on the street, no problems at all. It doesn’t flare on the 2-3 upshift its solid. I haven’t held WOT 3-4 on the street, it’s just to fast and to much risk. Need the drag strip for that. Give Mike a call for pretty much your only option here in SA. I think his a pretty good bloke and likes his performance stuff and will be happy to work with you if something is not correct. I have had no issues with his box.

You got it sorted Upi, this thing will be awesome!
-
For sure, just will be flow limited by those pumps. With 2400 dekas at 80% DTC we were done at 765rwkw with twin high flow 460s.
-
How much boost do you think you will run? That setup should be good for 1300HP on E85.
-
Well, you have a bit of competition out there at the moment but if she goes low 8s that should give the other two something to think about. 1000kw will help! You didn’t want to go mechanical fuel pump? Three Walbros I’m assuming? Staged?
-
What sort of power are you hoping to make without the gas? I don’t remember what trans you running in this beast mate?
-
Looking good Upi, all good things take time. This is one very special FGX When is it getting tuned? Post some pics of the sick fab work on the pipes. Good work champ!

Mate its a stock ZF stall convertor modified for the 6r80 shaft. I have a TCE convertor too which is around 3500 to 4500 stall but haven’t installed that yet. Box is an MV automatic modified ZF with all the relevant 6r80 components and modifications. Exdey clutch’s and steels, running a B&M trans cooler. I will go as far as I can with this box, including multiple rebuilds, billet planetarys and shafts, and maybe even do a 4R200 conversion, but in saying that the 6r80 conversion is fairly strong, so will see how we go and just build it stronger if need be. You can pretty much build a full billet box now out of the states and they can’t break them so I’m sure I wont.

I'm in, better late then never but I have cracked the 700KW number! Since being a member on this forum for so long now I just felt compelled to leave this here. Dion is confident we can see over 800 KW at the hubs, but I'll need a mechanical fuel pump setup to do that reliably, and that will have to wait until next year! Little bit more fine tuning on the 6R80 and then hopefully the long standing 9.92 for SA can be beaten! Tomorrow Dion will finish tuning it and Johnny has promised to take a video recording which I'll try and upload.
-
This build is inspiring mate! Will be one of the best in the country once sorted.
-
Search the forum, (driveline workshop) they are available. They are made in Australia by PST and also available from the US for our cars. Best of the best when it comes to tail shafts.
-
3bond 1211 or loctite 5910 works very well for this job. Don’t forget to put it on the oil pan front section too before you install the timing cover otherwise it will leak oil and gather around the half moon gasket near the balancer. surfaces must be super clean, both those sealants will work well.
-
Packed lunch, 800 wheel, 1.4 in the 60 and job done!
-
Try and reset the SA record with it. Its only a 9.92! Nice pick up Aaron

ECU is great, I personally think it’ worth every dollar. The torque model table (within ESP) needs a bit of work to get it working well with the TCM on a high horsepower engine. But we have the upshifts working great at over 550rwkw Scott from Haltech has been great and done a fair bit of work with my trans shop locally. we still have a bit of work to do on the trans tune but will get there no probs. Monster torque have had some FG issues with ZF, although they are confident Haltech will get on top of it if they haven’t already. Spoke to MT about 6 weeks ago about it. Product is good, nothing wrong with it, but requires fine tuning of some tables especially around engine protection and ZF. Just like any ECU

I use a YellaTerra flex plate. DYNO-MITE have done 3 Atomic plates under warranty and wont use the Atomic plates anymore. Dion also wont use the Atomic head studs. My engine uses atomic timing gear and race pump, JE pistons. I spent a week at the DYNO-MITE work shop and saw a number of other Atomic parts that had failed including a major component of an Atomic 998 engine only 2000kms old. There are no silver bullets and things break!
-
lock up seems fine. Shiftting is a little off but my valve body has been modified so need to do a bit of refinement work with my trans shop to see where we are at.

Dont see it that way at all. Was awesome working with Haltech and Dyno-Mite fine tuning my car. Was good fun and a good result. The out the box setup for one of these wont be the same for every car as they are all different. Will always require a proper custom setup/tune as ever car and every setup is different. After market ECU - what could you possibly expect. Also at the work shop whilst I was there I saw 4 other turbo Falcons with plug and play Haltech ecus so hardley a first timmer. that's one work shop in the whole of Australia with 4 plug and play cars in there at the same time. Haltech have sold heaps considering how long its been out. Haltech are all over this thing.

Bit of feedback on the plug and play ECU. My experiences with my car BFMKII XR6T ZF Firstly it works; plugs in, engine fires up and everything in the car works. It seems to pump out a bit more voltage to standard OEM items. For example my interior lights are brighter and my premium sound is clearer and louder. We have experienced an engine position error quite a few times which puts the motor into limp mode. Turns out the voltage is set a little too high for the intake cam sensor. We drop the voltage and the error goes away. Haltech have been great with remote login and live road testing support. These are smart guys were dealing with here. Traction control is off by default and we can't seem to work out why we are losing the on off functionality. Haltech have provided advice but we seem to be at a bit of a dead end here. Not a big problem, who wants TC on anyway. We think it may have to do with different tire profiles. We have come across a fuel pressure sensor fault (Haltech) which may or may not be a mechanical problem. It is unlikely mechanical but won't be able to definitively confirm this for a few more weeks. But the ECU thinks fuel pressure is fluctuating 15 psi in either direction from its base/target. It's not a good base setting within the firmware, because you really want to be warned if pressure drops 15psi not so much rises 15 psi. They are aware of this and will be updating the firmware in the near future. Some default transient throttle settings auto add timing advance which is not good. This needs to be updated as to avoid too much timing going into the engine when it's not commanded. Again Haltech are well aware of this. This default setting is based around a largely stock engine and is designed to make the motor punchy when you touch the throttle. But of course when you have a 600RWKW monster you must have 100% control of timing advance at all times. Also some of the default settings need fine tweaking to avoid a perceived lean condition reading at the wideband O2 sensor. This is not a complicated situation but I have forgotten the finer details of why this occurred. Motor will go into engine protection mode and the problem is identified, and then changes are made. Engine is not running lean. Changes made to the ECU are instantaneous to the engine and sensor read outs. Live data on screen and data logging available, that can be set to only start when a certain condition is met. For example currently my data login starts only after 4000RPM. All bull sh*t aside the Haltech is super powerful and an amazing tuning and troubleshooting tool. One thing that really amazed me was the ease of comprehension the Haltech technical support guys had. No matter what we spoke to them about they were not fazed and immediately headed to the correct solution. Boost by time is setup and will need some fine tuning on track - I may need a different convertor but for now we will try with a stock stall and see how we go. Take this all on board with a pinch of salt - this is a public forum based on real world findings of one person!

I have had experience with 3 Nizpro exhausts 2xBF 1xFG no problems at all. Maybe the early versions were better quality. Nizpro are not perfect by any means.
