the paint im using


start of stripping



to live at its new home at my mates house...



10 minutes later...



one of my supervisors lol



and all tucked in to sleep!

[bolby]

detailed the engine bay using maguires gear and used some touch up paint on the panels in the bay, also painted the overflow bottle, radiator thing and the grille the same color as the car. also removed some unwanted **** - power steering pump and some unused metal lines. looks much better
im real happy with how it turned out!
gave the interior a good clean too
some new pics....
wats everyones opinion on the grille?

[NOT.BT1]

nice mate love the sl/e trim and turbo 202 isnt something you see every day keep up the good work

[bolby]

cheers buddy
just a work in progress
bit of a sleeper

[V-ahhh]

yeah just a bit of a sleeper lol, man i love that dark blue interior vh sle's are my favourite of the series. and good on ya for wackin a turbo on her, proves the 202 is more that what some people think.

[JD]

those seats are wicked
oh and the turbos good too

[bolby]

yeah the ol 202 goes quit enice with a utrbo on the side
makes 180rwkw on 8psi

[1991_Vn2nV]

Got a dyno sheet?

[Cobez]

dude that is ****ing HORN!!!

i have ALWAYS been a fan of VH SLE's

verrrry nice

[Jo3_Blo]

Only the pic of the engine bay - (showing the painted overflow bottle) works for me. But it sounds very nice. and Turbo 202???? Thats a first!

[NOGEN 3]

Looks choice m8! 700 on it? Did you have to get the intake made for the 4bbl or did it come with the kit?

[bolby]

yeah ive got a dyno sheet, but its not a graph just a printout
ill take a pic wen i cbf lol
the intake on the turbo is custom made, it has water running thru from the engine in the bottom just under the carby coz it used to be run on meth, but it takes any 4 barrel carb

its going for a tune in a few weeks so will get a new dyno sheet then, not sure if itl make 180 again but we'll see

[NOT.BT1]

good to see people dont just give up on the good old 202 keep up the good work

[Jo3_Blo]

The pics are now working for me. Awesome car mate!

Love the blue rear passenger reading lights! Where'd you get the globes for them, how much they cost?


Also, if you have them, put the other 12 slotters on with the caps. Will look better, especially if you lower it a bit.

[bolby]

thought id update this a bit lol
have updated top of page to suit!
been a while!
finaly got around to doing a strait gas conversion using gas research gear, organised some rims and also some koni sport adjustable front shocks!

Nice HK, do your mechanic a favour and rub out the numbers on those plates though, theres alot of money sitting in that shed

[calaiscruzer]

Hell yeah..VH 202 turbo.. i still wish i hadnt sold mine few years ago.
180rwkw, that crazy for a 3.3l, heads must be ported pretty well..
TOP EFFORT!!

[bolby]

cheers dude
yeh i wont be selling this any time soon lol
the head has been ported alt apparently
but it made the 180rwkw on meth on 10-12psi i think
id estimate that itd make around 150-160rwkw on 9psi on gas, but will find out after a good dyno tune coz atm it pings wen it comes on boost lol

[Dirbatua]

very nice man, i wish i knew how to turn mine into a turbo rekon it would be lots of fun to do, did u do it yourself/have it prof done, or did you buy the car with it already done? im not sure if you said which

[Pub247]

Nice car bill its a pity it wont be there when i come round tonight would be nice to see it in the flesh. I had big plans for my VH which included supercharging it but i sold it all in the end. Anyways i'll see you tonight bout 8:30

[bolby]

thanx for the comments guys!
i bought it already turboed and what not but have done everything except the gas conversion since and have big plans for the future.
i bought the car for $4k, the driveline would have had around 8-10k spent on it if it was performed by a workshop, so i wasnt too keen on spending that much on a turbo 202
the manifolds are the same as wat was bought out in the CDT packs in the 80s, its a strattaII setup.
u could do a turbo setup on a 202 pretty cheap, but wouldnt be able to handle massive power.
im aiming to get around 250rwkw out of this setup and it apparently should be ok to handle it

[calaiscruzer]

Yeah i dont know if you should push it that hard man..I think 200rwkw will be quite enough for that light car, the engine has had lotsa work done but you dont want all that going down the drain..Just push it slowly 2psi at a time maybe.
yeah good buy for $4k..sle's are getting very rare..

[calaiscruzer]

250rwkw might be pushing it pretty hard, i wouldnt go further than 12psi..im not familiar with 202's much but 220rwkw will be plenty in a light VH. Wish i had that to play with..

[bolby]

the same bottom end is making 400rwhp in the red torana hatch in perth running 25psi+
and thers plenty of other similar setups running around that power
so 250rwkw isnt out of the question at all
