Otherwise, building an engine isn't as expensive as it might seem at first. There's one in the classifieds that would be a fantastic buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car runs awesome More responsive off boost and better fuel economy any Q's just ask . Oh and I put the red top on so no one would no lol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 2m 15d Gender: Male Posted 29/03/12 07:59 PM Share Posted 29/03/12 07:59 PM Why do people insist on buying these cars, then something goes wrong and cannot afford to fix properly. If you cannot afford to maintain them don't buy them. Bit harsh but fark me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then someone else buy their problem. I bet the previous owner knew about the issues.You guys are men FFS not women. Fix it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you spend alot of money upfront.Not so much unreliable but when these things fail they fail in a big way which ive heard of heaps of people going months without their cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MX Dave Donating Members 545 Member For: 13y 9m 1d Gender: Male Posted 30/03/12 01:56 PM Share Posted 30/03/12 01:56 PM Pretty Certain that BA1 BA2 BF1 regardless of N/A or turbo all had the same conrods. BF2 and the BA1,2,3 LPG and F6 versions all had the same conrods which are margionally stronger but the pistons in the Falcon turbos are slightly concaved to lower compression.
