Ford Barra engine
Barra is a series of internal combustion engines manufactured by Ford Australia between 2002 and 2016. Barra engines comprise locally-developed and produced inline-six engines (I6s) and Canadian-produced V8 engines.
The Barra inline-six was developed by Ford Australia and built in Geelong, Victoria. It is a descendant of the original Falcon Six from 1960. It was utilised by the Australian manufactured Ford Falcon and Territory, first introduced in the Ford Falcon (BA) in 2002, continuing production until 26 September 2016, coinciding with the end of production of the Falcon and Territory on 7 October. It was produced in versions running on petrol, with a turbocharged variant, and liquefied petroleum gas.
The Barra V8s are versions of the Ford Modular engine, built at the Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario. It was introduced in 2002 with the BA Falcon and were discontinued with the release of the Ford Falcon (FG) in 2008.
The Barra inline-six engine was built by Ford Australia at their Geelong, Victoria engine plant. It has an engine displacement of 4.0-litres, a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC), variable valve timing, variable camshaft timing (VCT), and contained 24 valves. It first debuted in 2002, with the BA Falcon. It was used in the Australian manufactured Ford Territory, Falcon, Fairmont and Fairlane. The Barra engine ended production 26 September 2016, coinciding with the end of production of the Falcon and Territory on 7 October.
It is an development of the single overhead camshaft (SOHC) Intech produced from 1998 to 2002, ultimately derived from the 2.4-litre Thriftpower Six from the original 1960 American Ford Falcon.
The autogas engines had green rocker covers, FPV engines blue covers, and the turbocharged engines had red covers—excluding the Territory Turbo and FG X, which were black.
The Barra 182 was released in 2002, and was standard in the BA Falcon, Fairmont, and Fairlane. It was the standard engine in the SX Territory when it released in 2004. It was more powerful, had more torque, was six per cent more efficient than the previous engine, and complied with Euro II emissions standards. It was also 20 per cent more powerful than Holden's Ecotec (Buick V6 engine) in the VX II Commodore.
The Barra 190 was released in 2005, and was standard in the BF Falcon and SY Territory. It increased in compression ratio, power by 8 kW (11 hp), and torque by 3 N⋅m (2 lb⋅ft) and had dual independent variable camshaft timing. Efficiency was improved by two to six per cent. In 2006 it was made compliant with Euro III emissions standards.
