VK ls1 100% street legal

[ls1vk]

gday, im new here thought i chuck my car up and show you guys. feel free to ask anything.

its a vk commodore, i traded it for my vk 355 stroker.

years ago it was a 355 over east and was brought and transported here (WA)
engine was removed and replaced with low km ls1 and 4l60e, from vy ss. The car is fully engineered and permitted.
its got pacemaker extractors that were cut and rewelded on drivers side to make fit, big brake upgrade, koni suspesion, home made air intake,
mafless tune, 3" cat back, vs fuel tank, b&m quickshift,
currently got full grp 3 kit except spoiler which i have in shed. also have 15" areos big they need to be machined because they rub on front breaks.

work will begin soon i have sre custom grind cam specs:
234/244@50 112ls .584 lift

cam requires minimum 3800 stall but i will go with 4000, heads will be shaved 20thou to bump up comp. either edelbrock pro flo manifold or victor with 1000cfm throttle body. aftermarked fuel rails etc. wile engine is out i hope to paint the car maybe white or silver but am undecided yet.

car currently makes 310rwhp am hoping for around 400

Pick one set of rims tho

[sweefu]

[ucwepn]

[Trayner]

Love it man , bet its a crazy bitch in the wet

[HoZy]

Cheers
Mat

ls1 looks at home in the VK mate nice colour as well....ok your rims suck (just following the crowd peer group pressure lol)

[OFF T4P]

hey mate just wondering what radiator you used. i am doing a vk ls1 turbo conversion atm and am in the market for a nice radiator. cheer mate

[dirt drifter]

very nice, good luck getting any traction whatsoever once the cam and converter go in! will be fun no doubt

[TY318]

hey mate what that cost ya *roughly*

[ls1vk]

to all use telling me about rims anyone ever heard of skids?
i have many sets of rims
vt gts 18s
vy r8
15" areos
15" vp calias

stockies are on the back coz they the only rims that had tread on tyres, areos arnt on because they dont clear break callipers and the rest are bald and have better things to spend my money on at the moment. other than that thanks for the comments, its an aussie desert cooler, was about $1400. traction will be a major issue, but that was the whole reason for putting the cam in :P

cheers

[CRANKN]

stockys on rear fail, wicked car though

[ls1vk]

how is that a fail? do you skid $350 tyres?

[ls1vk]

quick update, just invested in the following items,
4200rpm converter
edelbrock proflow xt manifold
90mm plolish throttle body
edelbrock fuel rails
b&m supercooler

Pacemaker are working on a set for vb-vk ls1 conversion should be ready in a week or 2. I spoke to some from pacemaker the other week.

[Jonnii]

wicked bogan mobil mate, engine looks the goods in there, get some better rims.
Oh and i do "waste" my $350 tyres, at least i can trust they will hold a skid and be trustworthy on the track as well

[NFNSUS]

There's nothing at all wrong with those rims!

Aren't they HDT?

Although..

Raise the rear end or lower the front.

Your cars currently sitting like this; \

nar man never got a price but i would say they would be around the same as the vl-vs ls1 one around 800-900. they will be 1 3/4" primaries, 2" secondaries and 2 1/2" Outlet. I was hoping for 1 7/8 primarys and 3 1/2 outlets. I wont be using extractors anyways but was just looking into it just in case i cant get my turbo setup regod might.

[gen3_vh]

Im glad you posted it i was just starting to think about what i was going to do for headers/extractors as the ls1 i have already has pacemakers on it and was pretty keen to mod them to fit but not now ill just flog em off then alls i gotta get going on is the tailshaft, diff, brakes and suspension
