THE FIRST
AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE MANUFACTURER IN AUSTRALIA TO
PASS EURO 4 EMISSIONS!
Over
the last 3 years Nizpro has been working on the FG
range of turbo vehicles. This started off in 2007
when we were able to get hold of a couple of FG
Turbo engines for the engine dyno and allowed us to
start development of many new components. In 2008 we
took delivery of one of the very first FG F310
sedans. This vehicle was used to design and test our
new intercoolers, exhaust systems, battery and air
box kits along with the new Nizpro intake manifold
and plenum.
Over this time we have fine-tuned the kits to their
current stage levels as listed on the Nizpro
website. During '09 we decided to put in place the
necessary targets needed to get full ADR emissions
tests carried out. However, knowing that a change to
Euro 4 would be effective in Mid 2010 we decided to
hold off until now.
Two months ago a brand new FG F310 Euro 4 was
purchased with the sole aim of becoming the first
aftermarket performance manufacturer in Australia to
pass Euro 4 emissions.
The
FG was fitted with our full stage 3 kit “PLUS” a few
extras not yet mentioned, which will become our S3
“Plus” kit in the not too distant future. The car
was then tuned to a level we believed, with our
current testing equipment, would pass Australia's
most stringent test, and delivered to Ford
Australia's test lab.
We requested the vehicle to be tested at the
heaviest inertia rate (most load) so it would then
suit all Falcon turbo models including commercial
Utes and possibly the Turbo Territory if it shows up
again in the new facelift version.
Well, I am very pleased to report that we were able
to meet all testing regulations and now have a full
Euro 4 emission compliant FG Turbo range of high
performance parts.
Yes that's correct, you can now own a 10 second 390
rear wheel kilowatt FG Falcon that meets current
emissions laws. You won't need to pull all your mods
off when our friendly boys in blue decide to do a
random pull over.
Who said that performance cars were a dying breed?
It certainly looks from a Nizpro customer's point of
view the best it's ever looked. |
