Good to see you getting some recognition Shane, she's a beast!
We both made the 417hp and equal mph 😁
Wow that is a really really nice example of a BA XR8, and a special edition with some very nice mods too. Cool car Shane
I knew a bloke that bought the Ambrose Devil R, had less than 2000km on it and it got washed away in floods mid 2000s
Dude was devastated
Yeah, that’s a proper NA Ford Modular motor. No apologies needed-put it against anything GM and it looks good too.
Those 5.4s are absolute beasts under boost. Here in the states there are many 2007-2012 gt500 mustangs making 1000hp+. None of them hold a candle to that green monster in the looks department though.
eyes off our fords ahaha
You guys put them up to 2000hp in Ford GT's with a pair of snails on them, and go 300mph at Texas Mile. 😎👍
@@ryanbaker4897 Haha, Yeah- could you imagine... Container loads of them being sent over, like what was happening with the XA-XC coupes for a while years ago... It made their value go up significantly here because of it
@@danielbrealey2924 chances off owning a xa - xc in Australia without selling pictures of your feet on the internet are slim
@@danielbrealey2924 Not until 2027… unfortunately for us. I really want an XR6 Turbo, I think it would be a cool and unique car that would turn a lot of heads up here, especially if it was a ute. Had no idea we poached so many of your “Mad Max” coupes.
good to see the 5.4's getting some love, best sounding ford v8
Unique beast. These whips used be less than 5k at the auctions. Theyve gone up enormously in price
What do they go for these days? I suppose you wouldn't see too many at the auctions anymore huh
@@danielbrealey2924 15+
@@danielbrealey2924 20k - 25k+ for a low km untouched example.
The average price is lower on the east coast versus the rest of Australia but they're also usually city km (higher hours).
@@change_your_oil_regularly4287 Really? Wow- that's drug money for one of these... Holy crap... I still remember them being under 10 K myself. I knew they had gone up, but that's 🤯
@@SHOCKcustoms Far out... All the bargains we could have got 5 - 10 years ago... I bought a really, really nice LJ Torana around '02 - '03 with a CRS chassis kit, 9", a really high strung thong slapper and an Aussie 4 speed for $6500 unregistered, but with brand new interior and fresh cobalt blue paint job on GTR wheels. It'd have to be worth $40+ now... It was such a bullshit clean car inside and out. It got stolen after I fitted a tough C.O.M.E Racing Holden based 383... 😡
Jesus I can already hear the comment section on this one...
Nice car Mate, 13yrs and it still looks brand new. 👍👍
That is excellent. Well done. A mate of mine here in Brisbane has his NA 5.4 GT with a best 11.872@117.79.
I love seeing NA engine still around making great power and rpm.
That hp you got was amazing. Hope to run my ISF soon to see its latest and also see if I can get super low 12s.
Well done 👍
Sweet Car! In the states the 5.4 4v (300 HP) was only available in the 03-06 Lincoln Navigator, a 6000lb SUV. And the (385 HP) 2001 SVT Mustang Cobra R. Most 5.4s over here are built and boosted 2v. Either 2, 3, or 4 valve 5.4s all sound kinda uniquely good IMO with its super long stroke.
Nice car sounds great. Makes good power for a 5.4 the 5.7 cammed up bolt on LS doesn’t make any more power. Value on those XR8’s is going up
its running 11s and at 118 and u think its nothing? I got to watching a bunch of Falcon videos.... I just watched one and thought it had to be 8th mile and speeds were KPH? Nope... damn fast cars! Wished we had the chance. Love that green its a great looking car.
I'm going back to one of these with a supercharger and selling on my 07 BFXR6T. V8 is just more fun and sounds so much better especially if you were always a V8 man. Haha.
Very good Power, 118mph in 1800kgs is badass 💪🏼🏁
I'm sure the Enforcer would approve
That's a sweet noise you got there,
I like seeing 260's mod'd 🤙
🤣 GREEN IS NICE 😎
@@anttonydamico2578 its in the fingers, its in the blood, i got motor magic 😎😄
Always love the BOSS motor Luke. People don't realize that the BOSS 260 was the basis for the American Ford GT's supercharged motor and they have boosted them to 2000hp and go from 0-300mph in a mile. 😎👍
That one revved to 9,000rpm, so phenomenal piston speeds with that 4.16 inch stroke !!
I see you're on here reading comments - I speak from experience when I say don't sell it. You won't get what it's worth to you and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Its unique. Maybe you're a bit bored of it or whatever, if so stick it in a shed and pull it out in a few years. You've made something special there. And not only will you miss it, it'll break your heart if some idiot gets it and ruins it.
You're not the first to say that. I love this car and I'm definitely not bored of it. I haven't driven it much over the last few years and the only reason I'd sell it is to help fund buying a house. I understand I'll regret it and I'll never find another one like it but sometimes you have to sacrifice your toys to make way for other things.
@@Fletch889 yeap sold my XB GT coupe to buy my first house. House is long gone but it was a good investment to get in to the market. Still miss my GT tho.
And if I still had the GT and sold it now I could have paid cash for that house lol
You're right tho, you can't live in a car no matter how fast it is.
That car is a stunner, all the best from one of your Pommie cousins 👍
Wow!that's heaps cool , Russel Ingel is an awesome driver 😎
Gap sauce's youtube GT** is a manual and in the 11s from memory.
Correct. And he did it with a stock engine too
Got cams and ported heads doesn’t it?
@@jackross2524 cams yes but I think the heads are stock. It's super impressive how quick he's gone but also remember he runs no interior and half an exhaust.
@@Fletch889 It's been 11.9@117 with the passenger seat removed and my "drag" exhaust lol and 11.8 with the rear seats out.. But yes, it's a stock 290 definitely could do with a nice bottom end. Mine needs paint really bad 😅
Great to see an NA built one, don't see many as majority boost them to get them better
That's a really, really clean XR-8... Love the factory wheels and a usable stance- although it's an XR-8, it gives it a bit of a sleeper vibe (as sleeper as an XR-8 can be- it LOOKS stock), but it"s got enough power to embarrass most things on the street. Would be a blast to drive, manual and 417rwhp. What's not to love
Nice car and well looked after. I can see that it has some BF flavour around it (addition to a clip with a front bumper obviously removed) Sunroof on a BA was quite rare from factory (although it was installed at FPV)
Yeah mate I swapped to a bf bumper but copped a bit criticism for it so I've gone back to original ba. I run bf tail lights but no chance I'll be changing them back
@@Fletch889 Nice. You forgot to mention the BF ICC too. I think you gave it a nicer touch with that combo. 👍
What a monster. Love it.
Love the 5.4.... Own one in fact 👍
Sounds mad!! Be good fun👍🍻
Very tidy. Sounds so mush better than an LS too.
Nah hahaha nah
@@brettclausen4429 yeah I agree with him 👆
Yeah bro I'm with you nothing beats a cammed 5.4 just listen to mine on my page 💯 👌
Sounds waaaaay better than any LS I’ve heard
Love it 👌
Nice car, engine sounds grouse 👍🏻
mine is specced very similarly, except I've got the crow gtho cams
Deeeep.. . Mint car. That's Straya.
Mint xr8 👌👌👌
If/when someone such as myself (who is a relative noob when it comes to the 5.4) is looking to buy a used XR8 (either B series or FG) what issues should one watch out for? For e.g. LS engines at some point need the lifters done. Is there any comparable overhaul issues that the BOSS engines need as they age? TIA
The look at the end when explaining it's not as big as an LS 😂
Swept volume wise, but def. not exterior dimensions !!
Some people cant understand the concept there are really 2 displacements, internal and external. While a 5.4 is slightly smaller than a LS1 internally, externally is where is massively loses the plot
Looks great, owner should shout it a new coolant expansion tank 😀
I did order a new one from Ford but got sent a 6cyl one. After sending it back the dealer realised they had no v8 ones left. I'll track a genuine v8 tank down eventually
@@Fletch889 are you the dude on a dyno day video talking about your light tune xr6t with 280rwkw or so? do you still have the xr6t, how do the 6 and 8 compare?
@@Fletch889 random question but what wheels are they on the enforcer?
@@Pablo-bp7pv fpv silver argents mate
@@Fletch889 are you still interested in selling it?
I like it 👍😎
good choice putting the ba front bar on instead of the bf
I liked the bf bar better but copped criticism for it so I've put it back to original ba bumper. I do like the original ba look better these days
5.4's can be absolute boat anchors- hence why i jammed a GT500 engine & box into my 6 month old BF XR8
Any videos?
If you fix up the bottom end on one of those 5.4 Boss engine's they can make good power. Problem is they cost far more to get power then a Barra.
Crap.
This fella must have a big cheque book.
Small cheque book with lots of pages
Sweet video Shane ya dawg but when’s the nitrous going on
Haha it will get a turbo before some spray.
@@Fletch889 saw a rear mount turbo on a 5.4 at Joe’s Diner last week up here was a bit like swincys setup but they cut the boot floor out and had a false floor so you could see it all with the boot open
Damn I Want one.
Buy this one 😜
@@fullboost lol.. I got a sickness already have 3 falcons.
@@fullboost is it for sale?
His is cool. But It's a shame this & the Ambrose BA didn't resemble & have more of a racecar theme.
Nice
Its a good result but it doesn't sound better than my ls3 and would not go as well either 😊
Sleeper!!!
This is the engine and car 5.4 very powerful throw a whipple on it or turbo wake it up
Hey, can anyone tell me; What was the main differences between a GT and an XR-8? Besides the physical appearance, what mechanical differences were there?
290kw, bigger brakes, firmer suspension, better interior equipment, called an FPV !!
@@arkhsm I know it's an FPV, I've just always been a Holden and Nissan guy... Been in plenty of XR's, just never had anything to do with a GT or Typhoon... Cheers bloke 👍
@@danielbrealey2924 They're all classics now, even my 2001 AU ll XR8 220 !!
290 higher comp piston, slightly bigger cam profile and obviously ECU tune is different
@@arkhsm Hold on to it bro... 👍
Anybody know what rims they are?
Fpv silver argent 19s
Way better than an XR8
Anyone have any estimations how much he spent on this engine and drivetrain?
Cost me around 12k for the long engine. Plus exhaust and intake on top of that.
@@Fletch889 12k got me close to 300kw
@@Fletch889 thankyou
Lol the engine was also good as a boat anchor
That would be one Ford I would own. 😀😂💯🇦🇺
Not a GT40?
Not an xy 351 GT original? Yeah whatever mate lol
Gap sauce

i have 1
The Enforcer was Ingall
That's why this Enforcer has Ingall's signature all over it... What are you trying to say?
@@EnkeiTenjin have you watched the video? Go to 0.57
He meant to say Enforcer and Ambrose.
Its a shame Ford didnt make it look more like Russels car. Same with the Ambrose car.
Stock (internals) boosted SV6's Can make equal or more power.
and what about boosted 5.4s?
Cool as mate. What do they cost to get a vass certificate to make them legal?
@@fullboost Respectfully, Thats another story.
@@Fletch889 When i find out ill let you know,
All i know is, The supercharger installed is $10,000
@@emmour9288 stock boss 260 with a spoolinboost kit (6500 grand from memory) will make 400+ rwkw, jog on
Not in America -.-
Not bad. It has more to give though.
I'm not sure about that mate. It's a pretty basic set up.
Shane's Xr8 is one of the few cars to actually back its dyno sheet, I was definitely impressed when I saw his timeslips 👌
Opa
Twins at Fullboost build a fast car ffs please
What would you like us to build?
@@fullboost I think you guys know everyone is waiting for you to LS swap an RX8 Mazda 😂
How about a Barra RX8? ☺️
Woah this car looks so much like the subaru legacy gt
I don't think the owner realizes how special an enforcer is .. probs has another car in mind, seeing he wants to sell ..
It's special but not that special mate. Yes it's rare but it's no phase 3 xy. If I decide to move it on its not to buy another car.
@@Fletch889 don’t underestimate what you have either man. We all have a car we look back on wishing we still had it.
barra it lol.............
0:17 Who the fuck is Alice and why are there so many of her in the ocean!?
Side note 'Who the fuck is Alice' is also an old song and there are remixes too
@@Jack-qn4vt A bit like the Angel's "Am I ever gonna see your face again.......no way get fucked fuck off" I guess
An LS will leave you at the lights 🤣
Prove it 😉
The LS will be left at the junkyard like all GM crap
@@jrburger95the ls3 is a better engine and in a hsv is far superior to any ford 😂
@@JohnWinzilcoyote?
@@DarrellWilkerson4.6 no thanks my ls3 is better
You should stop stuffing about and drop a supercharger on it and watch that boat come alive. high 11's pffft with the charger you'll be in the low 10's.
My Barra... in is perfect tune for a work ute.... one day.
.I will turbo the fuck out of it.
And probably blow it..
Because the crank.
Couldn't handle the forged.pistons and 30lbs boost
👍
A lot of money spent on 400hp car should of juts gott a barra turbo could of made easily double that for cheaper
And I definitely could have built a barra and made more power. But you ever think it's not all about power? Maybe to be a bit different?
You just missed the whole point of the video
I love barras and own one but the whole world doesn’t revolve around them people are allowed to mod other engines
Enforcer or Ingall 🤦 they’re the same dude
Just misspoke, meant ambrose and ingall
@@fullboost nah it’s alright haha, easy mistake. Love the content like always 💪🏻
😲💦💦💦
When you have to constantly compare it to an LS, you know you lost.
but it easily wins in the sound department over an ls.
@@Gooie69 Not necessarily. A cammed LS sounds insane. Just as good as this car (which is also cammed).
@@mrnicktoyou A cammed Ls sounds far from insane. I'd put it above a cammed 253 with a twin divided thong slapper exhaust but below a cammed 253 with a twin merged exhaust.
@@Gooie69 a "thong slapper"? What the hell is that? A H-pipe? Anyway, you said it easily wins but I think it's close. We can agree to disagree.
Hahaha- SAVAGE !!! 😎
you lost me at 5.4, literally the least desirable factory engine with more issues than benefits, no thanks.
Ok what engine you got?
Tell me you know nothing about cars without telling me you know nothing about cars 🤣😂
This one goes alright. 👍
More issues, like what?
Every engine has its flaws, you obviously are not mechanically minded ya amateur
