Private Notes
The episode many people have been waiting for!
Come on a ride with HPF as they head up to Canberra for the rev head fest Summernats 22. Watch Rob punish the XR8 ute in the burnout competition and see MRPSI doing what it does best on the dyno in the Horsepower Hero competition.
Also take a walk down horsepower history lane as Rob explains the many years of Horsepower Heroes at Summernats.
See HPF go through the process of fitting a head and cam power upgrade package to a customers VE SS Sportswagon. From fitting the cam to seeing how it goes out on the street, you’ll see the whole thing.
Also featured is a trip down to Higgins Race Heads where Nathan shows us his new CNC machine and tells us about porting heads and his 9 second Commodore Ute.
See our progress on Daniels 426 cube, Whipple Supercharged SRT8 as it gets the Motec system fitted and tuned. See it on the road at the Chryslers on the Murray car show.
Matt from Yella Terra talks us through the 300C Supercharger kit and gives a run down on the Whipple supercharger. Matt then takes a blown 300C out on the road to give us a feel for what its all about.
See something a little different this week as the boys head up to Sydney to compete in the SACHS Masters challenge where the best mechanical teams from around the country go head to head to determine Australias best.
Also, Rob gives us a roundup of the status of some of the longer term projects around the Horsepower Factory including MRPSI, the XR8 ute and the Lolux project.
HPF are back this week with an episode that will definitely appeal to the Ford fans, a feature on upgrading the brand new FG Falcon.
First up we cover a custom dyno tune on an FG XR6 Turbo, then take it out on the street to see have it drives once the true power has been unleashed.
Next we tackle a very different beast, an FPV Super Pursuit, powered by the 5.4l quad cam v8. To this machine we fit a full exhaust system and Yella Terra supercharger kit.
See up close the difference between the factory exhaust system and the aftermarket unit, and inside the supercharger and intercooler kit. We then take it out on the road to see how it compares to the turbo 6 Falcon.
For those Holden fans with seared eye balls from Episode 8 we have some welcomed relief with coverage of HPF at the LS1 Drag Nationals.
Follow the build of Tims VY Ute as we put together a package for his car to better his 9.8 second time slip. In go the tubs and a 402 cube iron blocked motor and out it goes to the track.
We’ll keep track of Tims day as well as our old friend Garry Pope driving his boosted Coupe 4, and Robs Calais for the first time at the track since the head and cam upgrade went in.
98 Octane, Ethonal, E10; all words which we are hearing more and more both on the news and also by customers wanting the best performance out of their car. With this we have decided to answer the questions with knowledge by testing a variety of different fuels back to back on the dyno. The results are definately intersting and may change both the performance car industry and even the environment in the future.
See the results of testing 91 Octane Unleaded, 98 Octane Unleaded, E10 Ethanol Blend, E85 Ethanol Blend and a 120 Octane dedicated race fuel.
To give some relief from the dyno action we also head down to the Latrobe Valley Street Machine Show with a few cars.
This weeks episode of OZGARAGE represents the future…
Our obsession is to create an Australian car show like no other…
Given a real budget and production team this is just a taste of what OZGARAGE could be…
Between love and madness lies an obsession…
This is the second part of the two episodes displaying what OzGarage could be with a real budget and production team.
Introducing the ‘Lolux Project’ with help from the boys at DW Customs, this is a car that will redefine what the Horsepower Factory are capable of.
Following on from last weeks introduction to the Lolux project, this we we fast forward to current day and see the car in the final stages of paint.
Rob also gives viewers a rundown on how far the mechanicals of the Lolux have come including the twin turbo V6 engine and massive brakes.
As a break from the Holden and Ford based episodes we cover an upgrade on a MY08 Subaru Impreza STi. See the boys fit forged pistons and an upgraded turbo to really release the potential of the all wheel drive beast.
