Dude I've seen a Genuine Ford introduction booklet for mechanics on these engines and they are a beautiful piece of Australian Art! It even has oil squirters that run along the top of the rocker cover to provide oil to both the cams! No matter what car manufacturer you prefer this engine is a masterpiece of Australian Engineering!!!
The Aussie Ford 4.0 straight six made at Ford's Melbourne Engine Plant is a brilliant engine and it's extremely under-rated. When you add a turbo, the 4.0L engine's power output is just enormous for a six cylinder engine. I'm lucky enough to own a FPV (Ford Performance Vehicle) F6 310 FG, but it did cost me an extra $1000 with just one speeding fine alone.
The standard 4 litre in line six engine produces a healthy 183 kw. So for the engine to handle 750 shaft kw is very impressive. Testament to the good engineering & strength of this great Aussie engine.
Back in the early 1960's Ford North America shipped first gen Falcon tooling to Australia when the second gen Falcon went into production in the USA. Ford stopped building the Falcon in the US in 1970, but Ford Oz continued to develop the Falcon platform locally. The engine in this vid shares a common heritage with the inline 6 engine Ford built in the US in the 60's/70's. Where Ford USA quit the I6, the folks in Oz continued to develop theirs and this the result. Good job Ford Oz.
Anyone who is aware of the layout of a normal computer keyboard may know that the letters R and T are very close neighbours and an easy typo may slip in anytime without notice? Thank you kind sir for pointing that out, thank you so much, I love you!
I clenched up so tight from watching that thing spool up... When shit started to glow I thought my computer screen was going to blow up and hell spew out! DAMN!
i digg that it was an australian company to finally make a big 6 turbo for a stock car.... still the strength of a 1jz for when it was built (from 1990) is pretty impressive.... but the inline 4ltrs are just that bit more impressive....probably the best "bang for buck" engine out there,, so easy to extract power
That is not a blow off valve, its a Wastegate. That is called an external wastegate. Most turbo's have them internally from standard production cars. A blow off valve is totally different. Cheers.
Brake horse power is taken from the drive shaft before the gearbox. The term brake is the device used to measure it, not the cars brakes (which would have sweet FA to do with horsepower output).
105 Honda Ricers disliked this, lol. Seriously, I love seeing turbo engines in a dyno cell, gives me goosebumps. Props to making over 1000 hp, I am trying for a lowly 5-600 whp with my 2.5 turbo.
doesn't matter what motor you got, bmw, merc, ford, datsun... spend enough and it will go hard and cop mega shit this is awsome footage, better than thrashing your car at night and then pulling over and lifting the bonnet to see glowing manifolds. real nice motor and good power by the way.
too much gas restriction is perhaps the cause of the amazing heat glow, but a streamlined exhaust would nearly be impossible to fabricate because its trying to pump into the turbine housing where the exhaust has to pass the turbine wheel. Its the turbine that causes the high pressure area just outside the flange. Thats where trimmed blades and other design tricks come in.
nice work boys. a bloke i know has a 1200hp XR6 ute..... and he still drives it to work every day. i am an old school sbc man but must admit these things go like stink!
Yes it says 1000 "hp" on the youtube title, but watch it ..."Nizpro stage5 750kw Cobra Engine is Tested". I dont think a company to this caliber like Nizpro would need to lie about power outputs, they have some of the most knowledgeable engine builders in this country.
Im a chevy guy myself, but I can agree with the sentiment behind your post. The Aussies get to play with the XR6 while we have the 4.6l...(I know that the mustang guys are feeling cheated)
@stevo332 I am an Aussie Mechanic. Keeping looking mate because you have not found a falcon motor with its potential completely 'unlocked' in this video. This motor is built for a street machine. And whether you choose to believe it or not will probably last for a long long time because the are an exceptionally strong motor. But just so you know there are 4 litres out there making near 2000hp but hp is the wrong figure to look at. This falcon probably has around 1300 NM of torque!
It would make the same power, because they would each flow half of the exhaust. You might get a little more power earlier due to the quicker spoolup of the smaller turbos, but the peak hp would be the same.
Simple question, simple answer... In a word..."santions." That big blower takes around 800hp from the crank just to be able to run it and they weigh a ton too! If given the option, Im sure that top-fuel guys would opt for turbos.
Actually that 3.5 will outperform a normally aspirated Aussie I6, and there will be a 400+ HP TwinForce turbo version of that engine. BTW the 3.5 is not at all like the 3.0 Duratec, it fetures direct acting valve lifters-right under the cam - decent.
Yep the new Camaro is a Holden and GM isn't ashamed to admit it here. I know some are even built in Austrailia (not the ones in the U.S. of course) It is a codevelopment but doesn't change the fact its a holden. Kinda like the Lumina SS (UAE) or the Pontiac G8 (U.S.) or the Chevy Caprice in Saudi Arabia just a Holden with a LS1 chevy motor.
@northsfinest100 Yes, it's the exact same straight 6, but the turbo FPV used in the 'Phoon is larger. In that car, you'd be getting a GT3540 turbo while the XR6T has the GT3040.
mate, i like yourself do like holden, more so old holdens, but either way, i also like cortinas etc, but ever since they bought out the BA im afraid holden had there pants around their ankles, the BA is one sexy car, and these xr6 engines are monsters, as are the v8s.....
That's the strait six out of the ford falcon XR6 from Australia, Its actually more powerful then the RB26DET. XR6@329HP,RB26DET@280HP both at Stock performance.
4runner, You cant run the manifold too much different than that - it wont clear the shock tower, K-frame or engine mounting position. The heat in the pipes are not too excessive as they are stainless.
There is no second bank. There is no second turbo. Nowhere does it say it's a V6. The engine is a 4.0l straight 6, found in the Australian Ford XR6's. Runners 2,3,4, and 5 are clearly visible in the middle curl of the manifold. Runner 1 is right in front, and runner 6 is slightly hidden behind the others but can be seen if you look closely.
It ran for 33 hours on the dyno and consumed 1100 plus litres of fuel without a single hickup.

What about a 2JZ? They can make crazy power, and is 3.0L. :)
+deafyboy86 Cast iron vs aluminium. More displacement and less weight. Barra wins.
lowrider649 I agree, but as far as I know you can get more power out of a 2JZ.
+deafyboy86 its had alot more time to push the limits though.
Tom clark Very true, the XR6 will EASILY outclass it in terms of torque, the 2JZ is worthless when it comes to torque.
Lets just enjoy this work of art shall we?
This kind of boost should bring nothing but a tear to your eye and love in your heart.
Perfect engine

That turbo gave me an eargasm
daymn, those manifolds are a work of art.
And she makes a NICE noise to boot aswell. I love the whail of a good 6.
With those temps, you wont need a catalytic converter.
A very smooth running engine for 1000hp! Awesome!

that turbo sounds so nice. you have to love the sound of a fully spooled turbo.
Anyone who is aware of the layout of a normal computer keyboard may know that the letters R and T are very close neighbours and an easy typo may slip in anytime without notice?
Thank you kind sir for pointing that out, thank you so much, I love you!
nice, you can see the manifolds slowly expanding as they heat.
best decision ford australia's ever made keeping this motor in production
the turbo sound overpowers the epic sound of that 6
straight six,so smooth,I remember a Nisson 260 crank,production balance was near perfect.
I clenched up so tight from watching that thing spool up... When shit started to glow I thought my computer screen was going to blow up and hell spew out! DAMN!
GODDAMN, this thing sounds like an F-104 at full power. I can't even hear the damn engine, just that turbo. Beautiful engine.
those headers are a work of art
what a massive Turbo!
sounds like a jet engine!!
i digg that it was an australian company to finally make a big 6 turbo for a stock car.... still the strength of a 1jz for when it was built (from 1990) is pretty impressive.... but the inline 4ltrs are just that bit more impressive....probably the best "bang for buck" engine out there,, so easy to extract power
the header on my standard 1.6 civic glows red hot after a little fast driving. i would definitely expect a turbo engine to glow!!!!
The turbo drowns out the engine..... Simply amazing
That is not a blow off valve, its a Wastegate.
That is called an external wastegate.
Most turbo's have them internally from standard production cars.
A blow off valve is totally different.
Cheers.
WoW! The headers are GLOWING
damn.... that Ford engine is legendary.... australian designed and built !!
its good when the exaust is hot because it burns the fuel that wasnt burned in the cylinder. its called an afterburn
its a 4.0 liter 6,but many older F1 4 cylinder cars made 1000 hp ,so yes,your right,good engineering

this is awsome footage, better than thrashing your car at night and then pulling over and lifting the bonnet to see glowing manifolds.
real nice motor and good power by the way.
This video never gets old... Playing it alittle on the wild side running 13:1 though!
Man that turbo is louder than the engine itself!
the turbo sounds like a jet, i like the white hot manifold
too much gas restriction is perhaps the cause of the amazing heat glow, but a streamlined exhaust would nearly be impossible to fabricate because its trying to pump into the turbine housing where the exhaust has to pass the turbine wheel. Its the turbine that causes the high pressure area just outside the flange. Thats where trimmed blades and other design tricks come in.
like I say dude just trying to help out, thanks for getting involved for no reason though, appreciate it.
Totally agree. Emissions from cars make up a small portion of the total emissions around the globe.
wow a line from a movie....im impressed
Wow, you can read a brochure, I'm impressed
I thought it was gonna lift off and fly away! what a motor!
wow like 100 hp near idle. bloody incomprehensible.
Lol... the turbo whistle sent my dog on a mad one!!
how can you guys not have seen glowing headers before? Nothing new there.
Always cool to hear that turbine and engine blow out the mic practically.
those headers look so tight and constricted
nice work boys. a bloke i know has a 1200hp XR6 ute..... and he still drives it to work every day. i am an old school sbc man but must admit these things go like stink!
Weld a piece of plate onto that manifold and you've got yourself the worlds fastest egg fryer!
That turbo is doing WORK on that engine...
love those pipes glowing red ballistic turbo hellfire motor
man that sound like a vacuum cleaner. those exhausts looked delicious. :D
The kilowatt (symbol: kW) is a unit for measuring power, equal to one thousand watts. A kilowatt is roughly equivalent to 1.34 horsepower.
look at the exhaust manifold it looks CRAZY!!!!
Ima get my self a xr6 engine in my holden :D
Insane, These engines stock are more better then most common v8s around :|
2:01, Good to hear the engine again :D
Whata motor... Those I6's are f*ckin durable. Great combo!!
wow, the exhaust looks like glass on the cooldown...that's one hot motor :D
probably the best vid on youtube right now ... just say'n
daaaamn that turbo sound is soooooooo nice
Yes it says 1000 "hp" on the youtube title, but watch it ..."Nizpro stage5 750kw Cobra Engine is Tested".
I dont think a company to this caliber like Nizpro would need to lie about power outputs, they have some of the most knowledgeable engine builders in this country.
I sold parts for holdens for a number of years and its a roaring trade i can assure you.
This is cool as hell looks like the exhaust manifold would just start to self distruct itself but cool very cool.
man look how red those pipes are getting holy shit
I feel pity for that turbo, that fella has to handle all that power! I reckon a twin setup will will do the trick
I like how the pipes go from normal to glow in the dark xD
not a big ford fan but i like stright 6 engines more than v6, powerful engine hope its reliable..
Im a chevy guy myself, but I can agree with the sentiment behind your post.
The Aussies get to play with the XR6 while we have the 4.6l...(I know that the mustang guys are feeling cheated)
@ItsMrWinters no i deff agree i dont know what it is i just like to see it get brighter and brighter
It really does sound like a jet. Needs a better set up so the turbo doesnt get so hot. Cooler air is much more dense.
wow how fun looking at a freaken engine on a table
One important thing to notice....that engine does not run very long. :)
@stevo332 I am an Aussie Mechanic. Keeping looking mate because you have not found a falcon motor with its potential completely 'unlocked' in this video. This motor is built for a street machine.

But just so you know there are 4 litres out there making near 2000hp but hp is the wrong figure to look at. This falcon probably has around 1300 NM of torque!
Sounds like a jet staging for takeoff. very nice.
Thats some decent heat in them pipes at 1:50
Imagine this engine in a stock ford falcon with hubcaps or in a white falcon taxi. get in and hold on. love the falcons.
thats an extreme turbo whistle!!!!
KUDOS! 5250 is the magical number whenever hp takes over and torque drops off! Just incase anyone didnt know that...
It would make the same power, because they would each flow half of the exhaust. You might get a little more power earlier due to the quicker spoolup of the smaller turbos, but the peak hp would be the same.
i was really surprised mine glows, but i think its a cast iron or steel one so doesnt dissipate the heat as well as stainless!
Simple question, simple answer...
In a word..."santions."
That big blower takes around 800hp from the crank just to be able to run it and they weigh a ton too!
If given the option, Im sure that top-fuel guys would opt for turbos.
That is awesome. Sounds like a JET!
Actually that 3.5 will outperform a normally aspirated Aussie I6, and there will be a 400+ HP TwinForce turbo version of that engine. BTW the 3.5 is not at all like the 3.0 Duratec, it fetures direct acting valve lifters-right under the cam - decent.
@mikeybrd It's not hot enough. Steel gets soft at around 1000 F, doesn't melt till about 2500.
OMFG that was sooooo awsome! i want one for my falcon!!!!!! the goddam manifold was glowing COOL!
i like how the turbo is louder than the engine
respect for those who welded that manifold... oO A blacksmith woulld say, "Hammertime"
Yep the new Camaro is a Holden and GM isn't ashamed to admit it here.
I know some are even built in Austrailia (not the ones in the U.S. of course) It is a codevelopment but doesn't change the fact its a holden. Kinda like the Lumina SS (UAE) or the Pontiac G8 (U.S.) or the Chevy Caprice in Saudi Arabia just a Holden with a LS1 chevy motor.

glowing white hot, when red hot is just not enough
Indeed, sir. The way I look at it, a good while back, the world was in an ice-age. Where were the cars to melt it down then?
JC that turbo is A BEAST.
a vacuum with that engine would probably rip the carpet to shreds
That's the strait six out of the ford falcon XR6 from Australia, Its actually more powerful then the RB26DET. XR6@329HP,RB26DET@280HP both at Stock performance.
trully one if the best engines in the world, standard XR6 Turbo new for $40k what a bargain, you can stick the eurotrash.
Stock power(300hp)= long life
Modified(1000hp)=short life
Laws of physics
those pipes are scary hot.
4runner,
You cant run the manifold too much different than that - it wont clear the shock tower, K-frame or engine mounting position. The heat in the pipes are not too excessive as they are stainless.
Audi 2.0L 5 cylinder ftw (same power output, better power delivery, straight from the factory with 1000hp, sold to the public)
There is no second bank. There is no second turbo.
Nowhere does it say it's a V6. The engine is a 4.0l straight 6, found in the Australian Ford XR6's. Runners 2,3,4, and 5 are clearly visible in the middle curl of the manifold. Runner 1 is right in front, and runner 6 is slightly hidden behind the others but can be seen if you look closely.
i love that sound(more like a jet engine).
yeah your right about that :)
but if given the choice between the two I would chose the higher displacement XR6.
