In this exhilarating episode of Mighty Car Mods, the team embarks on a mission to unleash the hidden power of the Ford Falcon XR8 with the unwavering support of Ryobi. With a fierce determination to dominate Marty's Camry, they dive headfirst into a series of performance upgrades that will leave petrolheads on the edge of their seats. Armed with an impressive array of Ryobi tools, including bendy lights, ratcheting wrenches, and DAX impact wrenches, the team sets out to revamp the XR8 into a roaring beast on wheels.
Their journey kicks off with a baseline power run at Castle Hill Performance, revealing the XR8's initial output of 196 kW at the wheels. Undeterred by the challenges ahead, the team delves into a series of modifications, from installing Crow cams and a Ford performance timing chain kit to upgrading the oil pump to unlock the full potential of the Boss 260 motor. As they tackle the intricacies of the engine upgrades, the team's expertise and passion for performance shine through, setting the stage for an epic transformation.
The team faces a formidable obstacle in removing the factory exhaust headers, but with custom tools and X-Force headers in hand, they press on undaunted. The focus then shifts to crafting a custom exhaust system, meticulously designed to enhance both performance and sound quality. With high-flow cats, a dual 2.5-inch into a single 3.5-inch setup, and elegant tips, the XR8's exhaust system becomes a work of art, reflecting the team's dedication to perfection in every detail.
As the XR8's new exhaust system takes shape, anticipation builds for the moment when the car's engine will roar to life, signaling the next phase of the project. With aftermarket cams installed to boost power and create a distinctive engine sound, the XR8 is poised to leave its mark on the road. The team's commitment to excellence and their unwavering pursuit of performance upgrades set the stage for an electrifying conclusion as they prepare to transform the XR8 into a drift car with Whiteline suspension components and custom Shock Works coilovers.
