Pollushon's VSII Acclaim

[redvs2]

Get the reg in?

 

[Pollushon]

Yup But the weather sucks, so I haven't been able to see if she runs out of fuel, that said, since the Walbro, Iridiums and now the reg I've noticed the difference - big time. Starts better, runs smoother and has a bunch more torque down low.

So I found the squeak today, wasn't the pulley, damned water pump. She started dribbling water, that was after I popped a hose and went to supercheap to grab another :-/

Annoying day.....

 

[redvs2]

Oh well could be worse. $40 and an hours work and she'll be sweet!

 

[Pollushon]

This is true, did I mention I was showing the car off to a mate at the time and it popped on the first boost? Raincheck. It's more my pride that's been affected

 

[Pollushon]

So it was $70 (went genuine) and about two hours work pretty sure it was the original pump, wire wheel and spit polish job.

Roads are dry and traffic low, so I went out to the old 100kmh tip road and gave it a fang. New problem discovered..... traction. Holy **** its quick, way quicker then pre fuelling upgrade.

I need better tyres or bigger rims. Cos the acceleration of boost is exponential, it lights up at 4k+ in first or second. It's a real **** when it changes, I guess I just need practice, Eastern Creek here I come.

Great problem to have

Haha glad you are having fun with it! You'll get used to this new found power pretty quickly! Sounds like its going well!

 

[Pollushon]

Mate it's going like a scalded cat. I 'upset' a VE SSV a short time ago, surprised us both I think, but getting the hang of it.

4.11's are in order post exhaust .

Higher psi has this effect lol
