Who would have thought that youtube would turn mechanics into heros? Well done boys - great video. Every car bloke needs a Berto in their corner to help make dreams happen.
Steve!
For real, those Falcon/Territory dash boards are nightmares. BA Falcons are known for their blend door shaft snapping. Not a problem in hot Australia, but try going with no heat in the middle of winter at the bottom of the South Island. The entire dash has to come out. It's horrible. That Barra engine makes up for it though, one of the best engines ever built... just keep the bolts on the low side of the intake manifold soaked in penetrating oil for when the upper gasket blows, because it will. You don't have to remove the manifold but it makes the job a hundred times easier and those bolts love to get stuck, the gaskets are only 30 bucks each.
Great to see! This is what the car scene is all about, getting their beast into the shed and working on it.
I have an XC falcon and a GQ patrol with Barra turbo set ups.
Learnings to pass on:
- zf box should run a seperate cooler to avoid the oil milkshake that can occur
- Barras have an oil switch (on/off) - consider a seperate gauge with psi.
- can Barra system worked well bridging the GQ dash, etc and the Barra stuff.
- run an Atomic performance 71 degree thermostat (runs around 80-85 degrees with gq rad, etc; around 10-15 degrees cooler than the stock one..
- be aware of your duty cycle with your injectors. Don't go too big.
- speak to an auto shop in relation to the converter setup with diff rations and big tyres.
- when the engine is out do the rear main seal (hard to do once in).
- make sure you have a good catch can/breathing system from the valve cover. If restricted it will blow out the rear seal.
Thanks for the tips mate!
Wow! It's turning into a full on build. 1st rule of a project car. Budget twice as much as you think it will cost. 😁 Looking forward to the end result.
Haha yep, thanks mate
i buy 4x4rs i dont have to fk with,, not jap.. or jeep..
Hot Tip. Make sure you check for rust where the Inner Guards bolt to the fire wall. Common rust area for 80s. Easier to repair now
A Good Sense of humour and a dash of mechanical knowledge always comes in handy plus Berto doesn’t take up much room in the workshop
Great episode guys 😂
Safety 3rd. Good idea bringing burto in, he's hilarious and a good add on to the channel 😂
Barras are great engines! Ive always had falcons before i ever got a 4b. Theres a reason they were the choice for taxis! They go forever. Also had a jeep wrangler, same size motor and the car weighed nothing, yet had no power! Could hardly use 5th gear once i put bigger wheels on it! Barra got plenty of go in it!
Burto is doing a great job and really know his stuff - makes it look easy !!! - great episode guys
You need to get Burto some tools, and a bench or two, awesome job. 👍
Yeah we gunna get some shelving and a bench for the workshop haha
Excellent work Tyler. I only wish when I was doing my cars in the early days, I had a friend who was a mechanic; well done Berto awesome stuff.
Watching your mechanics tv personality change and become more comfortable in front of the camera is awesome! Can’t wait to see this build done!
Thanks mate!
Perfect engine for the perfect wagon, cant wait to see how this goes, if it goes well, i'll be doing the same for mine
Best decision you've ever made, looking forward to seeing it
How funny is Berto as in my last comment Berto's Toyota Wreckers as there's no dismantling here, keep up the good work Tyler
Great episode loving the Barra build finished mine 2 years ago
Berto what a legend, you have a fair go at what your good at Maybe the director should give you a introduction before every episode, i notice you give a quick wave to your audience at the start keep up the good work guys
Loving the content mate, Burto is great, blokes definitely got some knowledge
Is Berto on the books? As a mechanic myself I hope he is haha every mechanic loves to help their mate until they find out it’s going to consume their life for 6mths lol
Haha yeah Burto has always been paid, he is on full time with me now on a wage. I do most of the filming and editing, he does most of the mechanic work
Great episode... Man I hope the Barra engine is in good condition! Dont wont to have the same issue you encountered on the GQ😊
Well technically they are now onto the 3rd engine, whew Tyler goes through engines like Sam Young goes through fart sounds! Lucky he has Burto in his corner, this would be the most expensive RUclips channel in Australia, think the lest he could do is supply some decent tools for the Burto! 🤣
awesome Tyler, Burto needs a hoist, top work Burto
Loving the build episodes
Looks hectic!!!
Great vid. ya make a great team - one doin the work and one doin all the video... :-) I have my fingers crossed that the motor works...
Thanks 👍
Gota love the safety squint when you're using the recipro.
Can we get a headlight sponsor for berto 😂😂 man’s using up all his phone battery just for a light 😂😂
Any more hidden vehicles you have that you haven't shared? 😁 You're starting to gather quite a collection of engines, albeit all in bits and pieces. 😁 At least you'll have plenty of spares if you need them. Looking forward to the build progression.
Great job Burto 🤙
You need a cameraman bro so you can help Burto would be funny watching you on the tools haha
Berteau‘s auto dismantling do you want to part that’s broken? We can do it😂😂 Barra in the 80s gonna be awesome.
Gee Tyler I hope you're paying Burto with beer 🍺 and peanuts 🥜 wot a effort but well done every shed needs a Burto I know mine does I bet Demi will pick Rose Gold anyway cheers legends ☺️
i dun had a barra once, she woz a green top ute.... dun sat on 160 out on the rural roads, purring at 3 grand. she necked kays faster than a bogan neck piss. alllll days long... best car ever.
Love the banter
All I would recommend is making sure it has a good tuner personally I would go to cms in Preston’s Sydney I know it’s a big drive but well worth it
Thanks!
For the dipstick problem, you could measure the height from the pan rail, than drill a hole in the side of the oil pan, weld a tube into the rear side of the oil pan and use it for the dipstick, your oil level in the pan will read right on the dipstick
There’s a new engine with sump/dipstick in the correct orientation so no need for a work around.
Alternatively buy an oil height sensor for a newer motor and tap that into the sump at the height the oil should be. I would be happy to run without a dipstick, but Tyler obviously used to Patrol engines think they all burn oil!! 😉
Definitely different that's for sure mate 🤙🏻🏴
Steering box brace, you read my mind 👍
Yep got one in the other day 👌
Best thing you can do to a Toyota is change all the OEM parts for better ones 👍 just needs Patrol diffs and axles now
Nice work berto
Did you chose to work with this mechanic because he is easier to fit in the framing of the shooting ❓👍👍
Shots fired, but they went straight over his head.
Can’t wait till next episodes.
Thank you!
Man this felt a bit overwhelming - if anyone can pull this off it's you though and I can't wait to see you back out on the tracks in the new rig
There's a lot to it that's for sure! Thanks mate!
Big cloud of soot from the datsun but when the Cruiser pulled out of the shed, no smoke at all.
Hard to smoke when it doesn't have an engine in it 😂
Gday, you can almost guarantee nothing goes to plan and budgets blow out easily, at least now you have a shit load of spare engine parts mate, great episode, cheers
Yeah for sure! Cheers mate
You need a boxing bag in the corner for Berto to take his frustrations out on haha I’m going to guess teal or aqua for the rocker cover
Burto's not hear to f#@k spiders! Getting it done. 🤙
That’s gona party Barra .. give Demi a clamped out 80 till she gets better at driving lol 😂😂Jks.. keen to see more this built mate ❤
haha! thanks mate!
Thank god for Burto, ay.😁
I never understood why Ford only used this gem of an engine in Australia and not in the rest of the world.
Hey guys be mindful leaving the 80 series with the tyres down like that for long period of time as will damage the side walls. Doing a great job
fkn bs. watch vise grip garage, low buck garage, this n that garage,, ect.. cars with flat tires for 25 yrs,,still hols air,, you know sht.. rest of the world is 40 yrs ahead of aus.. we have stupid laws..a 4x4 is considered a car, so it has car laws.. not 4x4 laws.. or pay dumb engineers kkkkkkkkk,s. clip board worriers.. your not supposed to have fun in aus.. its a convict colony.. go to jail, strait to jail..
Pfffttt 3 months flat will do no damage
I might do this to the 79 series if I decide to keep it 😂
Nice one lads
Luv these build ep's. Realistic. Have fun with the ZF box. Just wrote off a territory, too expensive to rebuild the box and the territory not worth that much. Should at least get yours serviced before going in. Sensitive to oil, oil expensive, computer expensive, solenoid issue's, can have issue's getting different box, to talk to diff engines, with diff ecu, etc. Have fun. Watching with great interest
Actually I think Tyler would welcome failures because it provides content for future videos. The Std Barra turbo’d in the 80 series won’t last if it’s driven hard because the conrods just aren’t up to it. So if the 80 is driven on a difficult track they’ll be doing another engine swap before you know it for a factory turbo’d Barra that’s got stronger conrods. I’m really looking forward to seeing how long a Falcon auto box lasts on the cruiser without failing though if they do challenging tracks with it. This video was a great watch, thoroughly enjoyed it.
@@cliffbooth7075 The zf is in a tonne of Dicovery's with no issues, they are bulletproof - but you need to change (part of) the oil every 80 thousand kms and make sure it has it own oil cooler, something no manufacturer actually did. But if you call ZF that is their recommendation. Also the oil is now less than $30 per litre from repco, and you can get it on sale often.
I'm thinking you could cut the sump horizontally, flip it around, & reweld it. Simples
I really need to ask, how do you untake the gearbox off? I cannot go to sleep tonight, without knowing the truth
Rose gold would be funny, but I think the rocker cover will have stripes to match the exterior
Put head studs in while you do valve springs.
Yes a Barra ❤
Did you know all BA BF FG taxis came out with the XR6 bottoms ends? Matter of fact all LPG Falcons were XR6 engines by the BF. Those engines are so easy to work on. Get an old taxi. Put a turbo barra and away you go. But these engines do eat cams! And also, if you're running a BF engine, a lot of the BA parts are not compatible, throttle, body, etc
The gas engines also came out with all the Xr6 turbo internals to handle the heat that lpg burns at. You can literally get a gas engine and bolt a turbo to it with little extras needed to make decent power
You need to get Burto a garage creeper! 🧔♂
That explorer motor looked well unloved, so was a blessing in disguise you had to get a replacement
Yeah inside the rocker cover wasn't looking the best
@@TylerThompson90 ford explorers are hands down one of the most unloved cars in Australia so makes sense it would have a poor service history. No doubt you didn’t pay much, so good for other parts anyway 👍🏻
It’s a territory mate - their is zero technical cross-pollination between explorer and territory
Just weld a dipstick tube into the sump lads
nice and purple surely.
you'll have to wait and see!
Mate, loving the content, buttttt 100% put a billet flexplate and arp studs in now that the engine and trans are separated as its a good thing to do to future proof the engine for later on down the track when you start adding performance mods.
Also seperate the head off the short block and put a mls gasket in now as it'll save you money and headaches later down the track also, as you don't really now how good the head gasket is on it now and when you start adding power you'll lift the head and might as well chuck some head studs in too. Very cheap and easy things to do now for later down the track.
These are a few things i wished i did myself when i had my motor out for the first time. Learn from my mistakes and save yourself the headaches, lol.
Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks mate!
Yes guys if doing this swap get a complete running car as a donor car all things matched correctly, these ford tend to be very fiddle if using bits from other cars , I don't recommend sticking a turbo straight on it , it will need to be rebuilt for turbo use or re rated heads and pistons , well so I,m told
Hey mate any reason you choose the barra from a ford Territory instead of a ba is their any advantages going with the Territory engine
Do the cover the same colour as the side decals 👌
Anyone know if the gas engine would be a similiar swap? Or is it very different?
Buy that man some coveralls!
About time u got a haircut 😂
Great episode boys!!
Burto looks like a porn star with that moe lol
Nice one boys can’t wait for next episode
I want a Burto
Top entertainment but I am starting to wonder how you fund all these projects?
Should have done a FTE conversion
I honestly thought oh no not another barra build but I forget it's your first build with one so I'll hang around for yet another RUclips barra build. If it wasn't for Berdo and I'm being honest, you would of lost my attention for this barra swap because everyone is doing something to do with barra and it's getting old for someone like me that literally spends hours on the Tube. Its none of anyone's business but by God I hope your looking after ol mate jumping on board with you and channel family. 👍bro I'm putting the challenge out to you make this the fastest 80 on the Tube that would be content I'm interested in. Make it better then sooty and Sam's & Built not bought
Cheers mate
Rocker cover color; body color😋
The most common engine conversion
Is that engine better then Toyota? If great but you are doing a big job man will keep waiting for more videos thanks
We will find out 😁
What size do you think that bolt is?
About a size 10 work boot.
Hahaha
Turboing the 1fz would have been easier and just as powerful.
correct but that's just been done on RUclips by Sam Young and Sam Eyles and we wanted to try an engine conversion
@@TylerThompson90 fair enough I have seen both those guys and prefer your channel anyway.
g day tyler my name is daniel from switzerland just 1 question: why you dont buy a second hand engine 80? No more stress cheers mate daniel
It will spin 35s easy when you take off without trying.
I’m here
Waiting to see someone 2jz swap an 80
Going faster with the next crash
💪🛠️
OMG, Now I know why I'm not a mechanic
Maybe Demi could be there to clean up some of her chassis?
She did want to be a part of the whole process but someone has to take care of the kids haha!
Guys with sump off do oil pick o ring seal known to go ford sell them wise to do it now
just get a haltec, only be 6 grand.... make em a sponsor theyll guve ya one
Did she pick purple?
OMFG, poor Berto
Burto the aussie version of whistlindeisel
There is a screw in the side of the glovebox
Fluro lime green plz ;)
Should go like the clappers with a Barra in it..
I am going to say gold cover
Poor Nick 😂
Pink
Tyler get amongst it never seeing u getting ur hands dirty
Burto does the mechanic work, I do the filming and editing. I can't do everything myself and Burto is a much better mechanic and I'm a better filming and editor.
pink
Don't the LPG engines have a bigger conrod, almost the same as the turbos. Could even be the same for all I know.
Rose 🌹 pink 😊.
It will be interesting if the Barra uses less fuel!
the FZ was getting around 22L per hundred on road, couple of mates have turbo Barra's and get around 14-15L per hundred
My Barra turbo in my GQ does 16L per 100 on 33s. I was very surprised 🤞
