no way, that was the first thing I removed when i got the car, even before the cat! NZ is so cold that aircons a waste of time 10/12 months of the year.

that was all put on last night, theres a bit of slotting and grinding going on everywhere ;) Hopefully should be fired up soon!

This is with a ecotec TPS and a adaptor made to suit. Throttle body is just a generic ebay cheapy modded so it opens properly.

Yeah he's a bit harsh on them, if you don't shift like a nutter then the t5 in yours will last for ages, might want a better clutch however.

He's in wellington, ive got a turbo vr sitting in petone. I'd ignore most of that first reply to be honest Side mount is good, room for loads of power, without the heat of the turbo cooking things in the front of the bay, and the manifolds are still piss easy to make. Stick with stock ecu -...

wow your government really got you suckers, Look at the fear you guys have of taking them out lol. Yep its not an issue over here, well it is depending on where you go for your bi-annual warrant of fitness checks. Worst thing that will happen here is we will get told to "put one back in"...

Car will hopefully be started in the next couple of weeks, its been months since ive heard her rumble, the inlet manifold is back with my welder man just getting some final bits tigged on, then it gets bolted on so we can fire it up and run in the new crazy cam! Picture is just a mockup of what...

1.Injectors, seimens deka 60lb ones work pretty good, we had Bosch 42lb ones that ended up been **** and to small. You want a 2 bar map sensor, nice big intercooler, a 600x300x76 fits in the front nicely. 2/3.run upto 14psi or so rather safely, get a good 250-300rwkw depending on a few...

le update: The wizzid, together with the dial gauge turned a bolt and writ down some numbers on a sheet. The lift worked out to be a tad over 300, with the hydraulic lifters it looks like that side of it will be fine. But... apparently the duration at 0.050 is all up the wack, along with a pile...

The extra price you spend on 3.7's due to the rareness of them, will take years of driving to compensate with the ever so slightly getter consumption you would get. Get either 3.45's or 3.9's.

Ebay US has them for around $70each, we grabbed a couple of them a few months back. Cannot for the life of me figure out what they were called, were from some speedway store and they were for chevy v6 to chevy v8, despite the chevy 6 and the buick 6 having different degree engines they share the...

Here we go :)

Are you retarded? I cant even be bothered explaining just how stupid that is, so ill just laugh at your stupidity :)

We run Siemens deka 60lb injectors, we maxed out the Bosch 42lb injectors quite fast, the l67 ones are only 36lb lol

Powerskids!

I'll chuck this in here since most of the frequent viewers of this thread are well aware of the mighty VB! Went to powercruise with my brother this weekend in Taupo, had a blast! Since last year we blew up his gearbox the day before powercruise 2010 we bought a spare along. After around 30...

Lash caps are 0.080 which is meant to add 0.050 so should be the same as going from 7.950 to 8.000 rods? Cam specs are here: it's getting to the point now where im just considering throwing cam away and going back to a stock cam, or perhaps trying another camshop even. someone that can...

I'll see how it goes, delco reckons they're not looking to great at the mo, I do have a donor engine that I can raid em from if need be however.

I got the same grind as my brothers vb, accept he has a series 1 engine, mines series 2 (vr). its 222@50 300lift (465). once I stuck it in, the rods were to short, fixed that with some lash caps (will get longer rods later maybe) but now the springs are almost binding up, turning into a bloody...

I am after the Installed height of the valve springs, and there tension at said height also, I would like to compare these to my vr ones. Does anyone know the specs of these? or if someone could even upload a scan of a page found in the Gregory’s/Haynes manuals? Thanks!

my memcal went with my old sc14 sorry, if you want a tune then just PM delcowizzid, tell him everything you can and make it nice and easy for him to read, give him a few days to get back to you as hes pretty busy at the moment. None of us use a fancy fuel reg on our turbo setups, or on my...

Magna injectors are 775's. they are 24lb which is pretty small, v8 304 are the same injectors as v6's, around 19lb or so. If its honestly doing around 12psi it must have 1 tiny pulley on it. You will need something like 42lb bosch injectors and a tune to suit the 2bar map sensor(as you know, it...

Why not just listen to what other people have said? PM delcowizzid and ask him nicely.

You would only end up loosing power anyway.

Cheers, Cam was sent away yesterday for its regrind, will look into some beefy valve springs and twin row timing chain also, the chain in there at the moment was a bit saggy!

I might just buy it from that link actually, price is pretty fair.

Yeah tried STA, not segedins yet, they said they only had a single row which wasnt even in stock, but single/double for s1 Got any idea who would stock these in NZ? if it is the 6130's

Keen to ship to NZ? Could be a good spare for me

Necro time! The car is on its 4th 4speed now so its time to ditch that idea, I have bought a th400 and adaptor kit (worked out to be around 100AUD ish) but this wont be in for a while. As for now we have begun work on modifying the inlet manifold: Larger chamber (around 4000cc) and a...

Do they exsist? I cannot for the life of me find anything, all the shops I call only have a single row, or double row's for either the s1 engine, or ecotec. Is there any chance that I can order a set from the states even?

Was it that shitter on trademe? I honeslty would not pay what he was asking for it! It is a vr engine btw, not a vs. It would be possible to make it come on at a speed I guess if you tapped into the ecu and made it send a pulse once the vehicle speed sensor hit over 110kph or whatever it is that...

This is with hotdog at the back, and high flow muffler at the centre, all 3" extractors and no cat. Awful qaulity due to cellphone but you should get a idea. YouTube - SC14 VR V6 commodore 3" exhaust.mpg

My vr came with a th700 in it. Delcowizzid was working on a way to make it fully functional but the th700 died so was replaced with a 4l60e anyway. The previous owner must have just bolted it in. Still had all gear's but the torque converter lock-up did not work. Odlly enough he's meant to be...

Hey all, Got a mate coming over from New Zealand and I've asked him to pick me up a mini spool while hes over there, but apart from ebay I have no idea where you would buy one. He's going to be in Brisbane - Booloumba. What shop's would stock a mini spool? And how much would we be...

Yeah will upload that video tonight when I get home. Mike just make a thread for it :D

PM delcowizzid He is pretty busy atm working on his own, and my brother's car's. But he's bloody awesome at what he does!

This is out of my VR manual, how's that?

Sell the CAI, and make one yourself. Them SC ones are ****.

How people like this get threw the "bot checker" (thing where you have to type out the words in the picture), when making there troll account, I'd love to know how. Seriously someone take this down syndromes shift keys away from him, it's so frustrating to read!
