Talking 1163hp!!!

Been meaning to post this one for a while.

I know you guys are sick of me bragging about the stuff we get over here, but I just can't resist .
This here is an engine out of a 2004 Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo.

http://www.fullboost.com.au/content/...pro_1163hp.avi

It is stock block as well!!!
I can provide more details if you require (one of my mates made the exhaust manifold for it).
Nahahahaha.....
And you thought your 7.3l PSD had turbo whine

1163hp out of a 4.0L?!? So, what's THAT engine good for? 100 miles if you're lucky?

Jason

P.S. My ears are still ringing.

That's it, I'm moving to Australia. Wait a minute, they drive on the wrong side of the road there. I better stay here...

Stunning video. The Aussies are bigger motor heads than us Americans. But, I believe they have fewer restictions, Govt. types, than us. I am always amazed at the cars availble to them from the factory. Makes my 03 GT seem like nothing more than a grocery getter.

So, just out of curiosity, what's the difference in the Falcon XR6 4.0 and the one in my Mustang? Different heads? Cam? Pistons?

I guess what I'm asking is can I make my 4.0 put out the same stock HP as the XR6 and still have some degree of reliability?

For a start its an inline 6.
It shares nothing in common with the 4.0l engine out of the Mustang, Explorer et al.

As for a dyno chart, I have tried in vain to get my hands on one, but unfortunately there is a little secrecy surrounding this engine.

It was built as a marketing engine for one of the tuning companies here (they do still sell these exact same kits to fit in cars however).
The produce a lot of these engines, usually around the 330-700hp area.

This was the tuning companies first attempt at an all out hp run.

They actually believe 2000hp is possible. (Prehaps not with the stock block though)

I wish Ford would bring the XR6T over here. No changes except for LHD.

oh yeah, here is a picture taken during the dyno run
https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=73360&width=2

Here is part of the article...

Running on a 50/50 mix of PULP and Avgas fuel, Simon laid down three 1000+hp runs with a final run of 1163hp at 6500rpm, the engine cracking the 1200hp mark earlier in the day. What amazed us was how the guys kept the engine under heavy load for a solid five minutes. It’s not just the power the engine develops, but also the sheer amount of torque available at such low rpm (try 1300+Nm at 4000rpm), you can’t beat cubic capacity! Simon assures us there’s plenty more left in the engine, and we’d imagine that this set-up will make 1500+hp when a higher-grade fuel is introduced
Extracted from www.fullboost.com.au
The link won't work for some reason.

BTW: 1300Nm is approx 1000lbft
