 Note: This kit
is
designed for Ford's range of Turbocharged BA, BF and
F6 vehicles.
Turning up the wick to Cobra’s Stage 3 Power Upgrade kit and
things are starting to get very serious. As previously
explained, whereas some aftermarket tuners suggest that the
quality of the 4.0-litre engine’s internals are capable of
withstanding much higher than stock torque loads, we do not
believe that in the long term the connecting rods will
provide good service.
Call it overkill, however at GenTech we are more interested
in ensuring our customers receive a product that we have
absolutely no reservations in supplying. Granted, some
engines may handle 450 plus flywheel kilowatts, however the
question remains for how long. If an engine breaks, the
damage will be significant. The alternative is to provide
prevention rather than hoping for a cure once it is too
late.
 
Cobra's Stage 3 package is an extremely comprehensive
package that includes:
- Engine stripped and inspected
- All clearances are machined to exacting standards
(blueprinted)
- Crank, rods, pistons are balanced
- Custom designed forged pistons
- Cylinder combustion chamber is modified
- Is fitted with new rings and bearings
- Custom heavy-duty valve springs are fitted
- Custom steel billet oil pump gears
- Custom high performance connecting rods
and ARP bolts
- Engine is reassembled to exacting standards
- Engine and Stage 2 kit are fitted to vehicle
- Block sonically tested to ensure no core shift or other
problems
- Engine tuned using Flash Tuner with boost at approx. 1.2
Bar
- Engine is carefully run-in on chassis dyno
- The process
includes all fuel and an oil change
- Cylinder head is stripped, checked and cleaned up where
necessary
This package is quieter and smoother than any other BA/BF
aftermarket forged piston engine on the market.
Engine is now capable of 450 rear wheel kilowatts.
Stage 3 engine kit is $12,919* inc. GST - Drive in, drive
away.
*Price assumes you
already have 'Stage 2 Plus' modifications. If not, then add
'Stage 2 Plus' pricing into your total figure.
The performance of a Cobra Stage 3 kitted vehicle is simply
astonishing in that it offers ‘normal’ drivability. In fact
you wouldn’t know that it was anything other than stock in
the way it drove, until of course you nail the accelerator.
Furthermore, you are able to maintain (depending on how one
drives) stock fuel consumption figures and impeccable
driving manners.
