ive had my EF falcon for a bit and want to increase the power. ive herd about exstractors and air intake kits and of course supercharging 6cyl n turbo kits...anyone know the best way or what is the best option??
get a tweecer piggyback and once you work out the memory locations for all the setpoints, tell me so i can do it too :D
headers, cam, ecu, 2.5 sports cat back exaust.....thats the basic starting point.
then you start spending $$$.
nitro is a cheap option instead of turbo or supercharger.
depends on how much power and how much money you want to spend i guess.

Despite tweecers being known to work with Ford's EEC ECUs, their aussie coverage is patchy, and I don't know if the I6 ECUs have and bin files that have been cracked for tweecer usage.
It's more of a 5.0 thing.
"Rollin" began to mess around with a tweecer in his previous falcon a few years back (he's found at boostedfalcon.net), although he used a Mustang A9L ECU (tweecer compatible) and a MAF and somehow got all that working with his six.
There is no "best way" for power increase, you have to decide what you want. If you opt for a turbo kit, don't bother buying headers because you'll have to pull them off again.
I'm assuming your EF Falcon is a bog-stock 4.0 auto. The best bang-for-buck performance increase (apart from a cheap nitrous kit) would be either a manual conversion or shorter diff gears, although neither of those mods will increase your engine's power output.
there are a lot of good cheap and free modifications, which you can find information for on here. the electronic shift kit is a good one, but instead of buying the overpriced version, do it yourself for about $6.50.
basically its a switch and two resistors.
there is several circuits for it floating around on here.
going electric fans reduces load on the engine, which effectively increases your power in an upside down way.
electric water pump if you want to get tricky also
i am sick of half arsed excuses for why there isnt support for tweecer in australian i6.
i have got the sucker, and version of the tweecer now, and will hack the eec-iv myself.
i think its sad that no one in australia can come up with anything better than rewiring the system and slapping an american eec-iv in... sheesh looking through this forum, people have been going on for over 8 years waiting for the australian e series six to be handed its edit on a plate. i could have designed and built an entire engine management system from board components in that time, learned multiple programming languages and done two mechanical engineering degrees.
come on guys, get off your fat bum and stop depending on others to do everything :D

Dude, these forums are dead, they died in 2005 when all us aussies left due to issues with "management" here
Oh, haven't you heard of MS2? A mate of mine has it hooked up to his boxcar, he was showing me the other night at an E-Series Owners Club cruise how it works on his laptop (had the laptop hooked up to the ECU & was tweaking the tune, Fast-n-Furious style)
Linear Mode
