Season 1 – Episode 10 – The fuel test

June 5th, 2009 - OzGarage

OzGarage Season 1, Episode 10 first airing on Channel 31 Melbourne 9PM Sunday 7th June 2009.

98 Octane, Ethanol, E10…. all words which we are hearing more and more both in the news and tv 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.

Catch it on C31 Melbourne this Sunday night at 9PM or online shortly thereafter.

OzGarage Season 1, Episode 9 first airing on Channel 31 Melbourne 9PM Sunday 31st May 2009.

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.

We also manage to squeeze in some tech content with Heathcote Raceways very own Russell as he takes us around one of his jet cars explaining how it all works.

Definately an episode not to be missed!

Season 1 – Episode 8 – The FG Episode

May 21st, 2009 - OzGarage

OzGarage Season 1, Episode 8 first airing on Channel 31 Melbourne 9PM Sunday 24th May 2009.

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.

See it on Sunday night at 9pm or repeated Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
