These cars are pretty useless on the road tbh. Any race from the lights you will lose because the 0-100 is stupidly slow in these barras as they just spin. Basically any normal new car would beat it to 100. Also while roll racing illegally, they also just spin so they end up losing most of those races too haha. I've seen plenty of 400-500rwkw barras get chopped by 250-300kw gtr's, Audi's, BMW's, Mercedes, golf r's. So for the street they're the the car can be a lot of fun for skids but for racing purposes they are the worst of the bunch. Only good for drag racing at the track. Even roll racing at the track these barras have a hard time beating other cars lol. I had a 500rwkw f6, built auto, pretty much lost to all types of cars on the road and track. Never again would I buy a barra and do it up haha
@@94toxic94 yeah but that doesn't really matter. Like old mate said, they aren't trying to build the fastest car just a fun tough street car. You gotta keep in mind that not everyone wants to race at the lights or even race other people. I went from a 310wkw RS3 that could chop anything and everything all day long at the lights to a 250wkw Renault Trophy R that does 0-100 in 4s on a good day and spins up in 3rd at 100ks. Its the complete opposite of the RS3 since that thing was insane for 0-100 and then straight up boring for everything else. Same with most small modern awd 'performance' cars. The Renault imo is a superior car because you have to properly drive it if you want to go fast and yeah it does 100-200 in less than 9 seconds but it wont babysit you like the Audi while you do it. I imagine its similar for cars like this BA. Its heaps of fun, not that fast and there's nothing out there that can replicate the feel of these cars.
@@Timtam99mate your previous rs3 or Renault would absolutely chop these barras in any form of racing/driving. Those cars are heaps more fun than these barras. There's no point in building big powered barras because you can't use the power, basically it's only fun for skids which in that case why bother going big power. Just keep it stock as you'll be able to do the sane thing and save yourself big $$. I just don't see why people build these big power barras. Literally redundant in every possible
Love the BA XR6 Turbo. Wish I could travel back to 2003 and tell my younger self to sell the Toyota RAV4 and get a Ford XR6 Turbo and drive low Kilometres. Great review Ross.
The sound of a cammed Barra is a sound of its own. I let mine idle just to listen to it. Then put the foot down, lose traction, listen for the screamer pipe and let the BA sing. Also stuck with the 6 speed manual.
i remember driving a fpv f6 tornado Ute (barra turbo) i asked the owner if the turbo works properly he replied with your not putting your foot down enough i hit boost and it was kind of scary......they seem better than the r33 nismo i had a chance to drive
I have put one of the stage two cores in my factory housing and I can’t fault pulsar turbo cores. Hopefully you are going to make Powercruise at Queensland raceway on 7-10th September. If you make it to there you will see another hi horsepower bf that goes there every year and it’s very quick. It’s one of the hi torque performance cars it’s twice as fast as my bf and I have just over 500 whp
OMG this is exactly what i want to do with mine, keep it looking stock as with all the dints and paint chips, but screams like hell!, mines got only 360kw but still feels awesome
How much to build the engine to hold that boost,turbo fg engine or the b series or s typhoon ,sorry i dont know diffrence in blocks i just know bf2 + in sbe will take more
Perhaps a Territory donate car and make this beast AWD to get into the 3s for the 0-100. It is good to see a manual B series though, always liked the styling but still not sold on the Mustard colour 😂
@@94toxic94how many stock cars come out with 400rwkw🤣 all depends on set up 400rwkw hi stalled transbraked is going beat this 60foot probably eighth mile unless good experienced manual pilot who can launch get power down ,400-500rwkw is plenty for street ,just comes down to set up
@@RossReviewsau recently replaced my Garrett with a factory size psr w/t51r mod. Happy as with it so far and not as noisey and annoying as some people say haha
1000 on the street is just rediculas 😂 I thought my fg was terrifying at 560whp 😂 Just picked it up Thursday and absolutely loving it, manual 09 fg xr6t, has a 336whp, 469whp and 562whp tune, only been driving it at 336hp and it's scary like that lol torque is 680nms at that level I've never experienced acceleration like this in my life. Just did pads n rotors as they were cooked, found out that after having to do an emergency stop and barely pulled it up in time 😳 Melbourne drivers are absolutely terrible... Can't wait to put it down the quarter 👌
Tbh that power isn't that quick, I owned a 500rwkw f6 and it didn't pull that good. It was just meh, these barras weigh way too much for them to fast and fun regardless of the power they make. I now own a rs3 making 318kw and I smoke 600kw barras roll racing and from a dig it's not even comparable lol
@@kresnik_ss that's true but I promise you that the barra won't give you a smile on your face like many other better cars. People get caught up in the power figures with these cars whereas in reality they don't go that hard, fast and just aren't fun cars. You're better off just buying another car rather than dumping $10k plus into a barra, no matter what you do with a barra it'll be pointless on the streets. Getting outrun by camry at the lights or getting destroyed by all other sport/muscle cars on the street roll racing, how is that fun lop. Yes there always a car faster but any car faster than a stupid f6/xr6t
entirely wrong, larger callipers are 100% the most effective way to stop.. otherwise 6 & 8 pot callipers wouldn’t exist, yes you need enough rubber on the ground but bigger callipers are the only thing that’ll slow you down faster

$60k plus spend to turn into a fun car, which is basically undriveable at even 1/3 the limit..Big dyno numbers for pub bragging only.. Spend around $4-5k on an AMG Merc A45s and you'll get a comfortable, full of luxurious fruit, AWD and the ability to run sub 4 second runs from 0-100kph...Not the big HP numbers, but you can at least drive it.
Great to see a fellow barra owner driving a manual.
Yep, my FGX ute is turbo manual 😁
Love the manual
manual for life cuz
I seriously can't get enough of Barra turbos they're just awesome and I own one and I still love watching them all 😅
I will keep reviewing them!! 🤣 I can’t stop
That's my dream I get my fulls next year. Turbo ba wagon
@FatButr turbo a ba wagon now, doesn't exist so don't update details and cops can't flag you down 🤪
When the first BA XR6 turbo was released the pre release press car was a manual in acid rush just like this, great legacy, great car.
Amazing cars
That’s the best sounding non de-stroked barra I’ve heard.
Barra power! It might be a car that's faster 100-200 than 0-100 😂
I reckon it would!!

That exhaust sound 🤤
So good!
SDF for the win

Nice car 👍
You don't see too many manual high HP B Series Falcons around and I also dig the Mustard yellow colour!
Couldn't agree more! Sleeper spec eh
Had a ba mki turbo modified and a fg f6.... ba was a just awesome feeling to drive over the f6
Profile for the win, clints the man! Cool car and another banger review ross!
Appreciate it!
What a cool owner! 😎 Top review Ross! This car is a beast!
Thanks! 👍 absolute beast for sure
Awesome 😎 video. I’ve been sharing the channel to car clubs as well.
Awesome thank you! Appreciate the support
love the sound of the double plate clutch, dad's got one in the f6
THAT is how a Barra should sound
Absolutely agree madness
That’s mental James love it bro. Hope to see ya around the street of GC/Brissy 🤙🏽
He’s a legend
Great video lads I’m currently building my ba mk2 xr6t and love looking at other builds … love your content Ross keep up the good work ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Don't build it, sell it instead and just buy another car such as a wrx or a mustang and you'll smoke most of these barras on the street

That’s got to be one of the best sounding Barras I’ve ever heard !!!
It’s insane
Absolutely amazing Ford wow……… thank you brother for your wonderful work 🙏
Much appreciated
I need to do this to my XR6 faaaar out that sounds amazing
This dude is a Legend a BA manual with that much power it's an animal 😂 I really enjoyed this one it was a ripper thanks Buddy.
Glad you enjoyed it
Got to love a b series,there just as capable as any f6,that things wicked
Goes to show this one eh
My dream car. Amazing what you can do with these engines. So damn cool.
This is done so well
i remember driving a fpv f6 tornado Ute (barra turbo) i asked the owner if the turbo works properly he replied with your not putting your foot down enough i hit boost and it was kind of scary......they seem better than the r33 nismo i had a chance to drive
How good. Especially because its a manual! Was holding my breath for you on the pulls!
🫣 we made it through alive
Yeah nice to see a tuned up b series I see a lot of xr8’s but it feels like the turbos are all around trees
Great review John, 1000HP is my target when ive finished playing with my Au's haha
Nice one!
Definitely mint 👌🏻 ba xr6 turbo, amazing video
Thanks! 👍
All hail James and his BA

Getting ideas 🤣
What a beast of a car. Well done.
Thanks mate 🙏🏻
You know what they say ,A barra a day keeps the doctor away
Amen 🇦🇺😎
Yep, skip the doc... straight to the coroner..😂
Holden's SV6 nightmare, love the falcon.
I have a sillouette black BA MKII manual. Stock as a rock. Would love to slowly build something like this .
The dream

OMG this is exactly what i want to do with mine, keep it looking stock as with all the dints and paint chips, but screams like hell!, mines got only 360kw but still feels awesome
and its 02 BA
When the boost hits it sounds like he's giving it a clutch kick
It goes so hard man
He is
It starts up so gentle...I like that, the neighbours are never gonna know what hit them 😂
Nice work 👏

Hey mate, can you please get tell us the wheel size and tyre size he's running as well s the manufacture of the tyre?
Sounds very 1 jz like if im honest and im all for it
man I wish we got the barra in the states
Such a beast
Power...plant your foot
Love it
Amen 😤
Very nice good set up
Glad you like it
Oooof my ba has hope
Ahahahaha exactly what I was thinking
Who made the dash to suit the haltech? Looks really nice
Fuck thats gotta be the best sounding barra i've ever heard!!!!
Sounds top notch
Agree!!
We need exhaust specs?
Perhaps a Territory donate car and make this beast AWD to get into the 3s for the 0-100. It is good to see a manual B series though, always liked the styling but still not sold on the Mustard colour 😂
Couldn’t imagine it with AWD would be insane
I actually have a territory as well haha just havnt got to it yet 😂
If you didn't show under the bonnet I would of sworn it has a 2JZ swap... Barras rarely sound this good🤩
Sounds wild eh
hahaha that twin plate rattle
Yup you heard it 😂

Also hoping I’ll get my supercharged ba xr8 down to profile for a tune and stuff. 👌
Sweeet set up man what boost pressure is it running when it’s at 1000hp?
30 psi
What an animal of a falcon. 😂😂
Yeah , very impressive. But if you are building one for the street 400 kw is nice ! At least it hooks up !
Still loses all street races, 400-500kw in a b series or fg turbo barra, you ain't beating anything unless the other car is stock lol
