Looks the goods mate. I have a VK 202 as well, did you do a closed door respray? Mine's due for one with all the trolley dents in it. Make it a sleeper I reckon. Beef up the 202 so there's no mucking around changing rego details and with the way cops are nowaday it's best to remain hidden. lol haha

U can squeeze outa a 202 tho

you can squeeze plenty out. plenty enough for your p's anyway.

i do like your badge though. you gonna repaint the black parts and sikaflex it on?

i wanna just like get like cam and some head work..

i would have thought, with the amount of detail going into the body you would have done some research into what is good to do to the engine? for example, have you looked at roller rockers? what ratio rockers are stock for a 202 and what can you bolt on to them? thats free horsepower right there, doesnt cost you a cent in fuel.

with the cam, what duration you looking at, and what lift? what sort of cc's are you going to be looking for on your heads when you get them done, what size valves you planning on using, what minimum instll height valve springs you gonne use, what max lift? what sort of CFM would you like to see at what lift?

all thses things are what makes building an engine fun. and dont deny, a well build efi 6 WILL beat a stock V8... its up to you to keep it in fine form.

page no longer available.

nah, i reckon rather than just copying what someone else has done, try developing an understanding of how stuff works and what changes effect other parts of the engine. you will be more satisfied later down the line when you can explain in depth why you went with a longer conrod and a higher piston pin to allow more dwell time at TDC... lol, you get the idea? why copy someone, you MAY be able to do it better if you run a bit of research.

things you should look into are:

compression ratio do's and dont's
camshafts duration and its effects
roller rockers and increased lifting ratios
differential ratios
stall converters and their purpose
timing

im not trying to give you a lecture but you seem like a smart guy and you would benefit from a little reading

edit* although its a lot of blah about how good yella terra are, pages like this hold valuable information: http://www.yellaterra.com.au/product...er-rockers.cfm

i couldnt tell you if that is a good cam. i know dick-all about 6's and not really that interested in learning lol.

If you really want to work a 202 EFI motor (head work/bigger cam) then the inlet manifold is the limiting factor.
These motors had some go from the factory with the most advanced head, extractors standard and a cam (same spec as XU1 Torana) so if it is feeling sluggish it may just need a reco. How is the compression?
Alot of guys that use this motor in early Holden rip the EFI off and install a Holley or triple carbs and replace the dizzy and coil with one from a carby blue motor 202.

personally that is what i would be doing, but we have p-plate laws to thing about too. but i have to admit to a bit of a soft spot for a nice set of polished webbers on holdens.

carby is a lot more maintenance, and lots more fuel consumption, but you can get equal or more power depending on how perfect you get it.

I've had 4 VK's 2 EFI and 2 Vh's i'd rather stick with the EFI even though its a fair shit system theyre much better than the carbies.

EDIT are you going to do work to your motor ?? If so the EFI system will be useless as your unable to make necessary adjustments to it.
I had a fair decent motor in my last VH and planned on converting to EFI Setup using VK bits and Delco ecu off vn and je camiras was going to be a bit of stuffing around but would be worth it in the end.

Nice looking vk BTW , calais moulds would do wonders for the 2 tone look

I had a 12 port yella terra head on my VH be the way to go if your thinking of headwork

[GenReaper]

Well if your not rolling in money it aint going to be easy.
You could trick up the standard head with extra compression ratio and some port work.
Or you could save up and buy this lightweight performance head Yella Terra - Company news
IMO hydraulic cams suck i went solid with my old motor.
If you dont know how to adjust rocker arms with feeler gauges then probably best to go hydraulic unless you got a mechanic.
Screw in rocker studs, guide plates, teflon valve stem seals.
Good valve springs with correct installed height and seat pressure.
The cam i used to run was a 60/96 with 276 degrees duration and about 500" lift, big sucker, would not reccomend to go quite that big for a street cam.
Better off with something about 35/75
EFI can work ok but IMO rip that crap off and stick a Cain manifold modifed to suit a 12 port head, yes this requires alloy welding and match porting and stick a 500- 4 barrel holley on it.
HEI dizzys are crap IMO, i used to break them all the time with the reluctor wheels coming loose and causing all sorts of dramas.
I used to run a points dizzy with Bosch or Echlin points and that thing saw 8000 rpm many many times and yeah thats alot of revs for a 202.
Mind you mine was race prepped with all custom extractors and 45DCOE webers.
