Turboing the N/A VL, help please....

[VQXTC]

Hi there all, I have bought the gearbox for the turbo, next on the ajenda is a diff centre.....(what sort should I go for...?)
Also is the tailshaft from the n/a the same as the turbo?
I will also be running straight gas........so has anyone done a setup like this before running either dual fuel or straight gas??
Thanx for the help so far guys..........

Cheers

go buy a vlt diff dont bother with messing around with the n/a diff as it only has 25 spline axles as where the vlt diff has 28 spline axles ....and both have the same gear ratio 3:45

tail shaft is the same im pretty sure aswell

look up a vl commodore called GAS747 he runs straight gas and is in the low 11s i think

calaisturbo.com.au - Powered by vBulletin will have all the info your after

there is also LPG 747 who is also doing 10's

tail shafts are the same

VLDAVE, its GAS747 and hes making 10's atm just a correction there mate.

just change ur diff mate dnt worry much bout the shaft i dnt think it really makes a difference not unless ur gonna run in the low 10s and 9s marks

GAS747 is Pauly and he runs consistent 10's.

This is his car at the front

I have a V8 rear end for sale. same size axles as the turbo rear end. just different diff ratio. i was going to put a diff centre out of a falcon in it and they are 3.7 ratio. it's in sydney if you want to buy it.

as others have said
VLT dif will see you safely through. just get it reshimmed and what not if its in bad shape.
and dont even bother with dual fuel lol no good!
gas can definatly be done and its been proven. it may take a lil more boost to get there but its not impossible
will need a tank with twin outlets (or 2 tanks or a single tank with a outlet mod) with twin gas lines and twin modified B2 converters to a gas research throttle body, at least 440cfm in size
thats it for the gas system!
which is what ill be using but ive got a 480cfm t/b

oh and theres also plenty of people pushing upto 20psi through the stock n/a bottom end on a safe tune, so that can also be done
