performance 202
wat are some reasonable priced ways to get more performance out of the blue 202 in the vh
Tells it like it is.
Buy a Black 5 litre. You should get around $120 a ton for the blue at any decent scrap yard.Originally Posted by The_Fallen_One_05

alright.. Exhaust (2inch) & Extractors will help.

B daring- go 2 1/4" stractors, XF F$#d weber + adapter plate(good budget upgrade) matchporting?(if your cracking the engine open, hell get it balanced aswell)
wat else could i do after exhaust
The Future.
You can go thermo fans and lose the manual fan
People be brave in the mighty 6. Good engine rebuild, triples, good head. makes for a fast car
so a list of basic upgrades for a vh straight 6 would be...
- extractors
- 2-2 1/4" straight through exhaust
- upgrade to thermos
young plus new at this = not knowing the advantages of thermos over manual fan? and not a clue on the XF F$#d weber + adapter plate part... what does it mean and worth it? i just like to have an impressive looking/sounding car so exhaust etc is a must but making it go a bit quicker on a budget? ideas? sorry for the questions but i may as well ask
300rwhp supra. yay.
De-comperesion head gasket and this.....

You could go to My Ride section of this forum also to dee some specs.

triple carbies. shave, port and polish the head. extractors, exhaust. better camshaft. if you're pulling it apart then bore the cylinders 20-30 thou and put better pistons in.
have a look at ebay for triple carb sets, cams and extractors and all that. 6 cyl holden stuff is really cheap.
if its possible swap it for a 202, then you could use standard vk injection.
I have an inline 4!
Inline 4 on the left, inline 4 on the right.
CLASSIC NOT PLASTIC
wat advantages does thermo fans have
Go THE SS's
They free up power from your motor. Some engine power is used to run the belt driven fan. Remove the fan and get a thermo fan. In an old street machine tech series they removed the engine fan and upgraded airfilter and got 14 kw at the fly and abit more torque to.

As you said
But a bigger motor would be the best bet I'd say. Probably do a V6 conversion. Doing major work on a 202 might be costly as in labor and would maybe be better spent on a V6.

That is dang expensive! I would be seriously thinking about spending 800 bucks on that!
One of the larger known car mags did this afew years ago, and then gave the motor away to a lucky winner.....prick.
It was tested in a stock VK, only change to the car was the engine itself, and a stage 2 B&M kit for the Trimatic.
Red, Blue or Black block.....it doesn't realy matter
Blue mtr head, lightly ported, cleaned up and oil galleries opened up a tad.
Blue mtr crank
Black mtr ( VK ) injection system
Crow Cams - cam, valve springs, double row timing chain,
ACL cast pistons & ring set
HV oil pump, with larger pan - 8.5L
twin thermos
Hurricane extractors, with 2 1/4 system, high flow cat & mufflers
ran VERY LOW 13's, 6 of them back to back, then the banjo shreaded itself.
About 6 months ago, we built one for my sisters LJ, with a alloy housed 9inch, keeps the bum together. Has done 1 pass only, 11.97 !
This little combo has alot of potential, given the respect it deserves.

Not really. All 202 performance parts are a hell of alot cheaper then ur 3.8's. Even machining ect is also alot cheaper. If you cant do it urself then be prepared to fork out extra cash on labour. Thats basically the dearest part of the built. By the time you do the stock 3.8 conversion and hand the cash over you could have a 202 worked off its titties that'll put most efi 8's to shame.As you said

the holden mechanic
high compression yella terra head, decent size cam, twin carbs on redline intake manifold, oversize valves, port the head, flat top pistons and she would get down and boog
realy realy stupid question... where could i get that done on my red 202? (aprox price?)
