hq wagon 202

[202WGN]

i got a 202 blue motor wanna no the fastest and cheapest way to make her go hard

[Dose Pipe]

replace it with an rb30et

[NOT.BT1]

get on ebay and look for a 308 blue or black motor just my opinion dont like rb30et's myself but its justs my personal preference

[Dose Pipe]

rb30et - 150kw @ flywheel

black 5L from vl 122kw @ flywheel

which would you prefer the one with more power that uses less fuel or the one with less power that uses more and is a dinosaur?

[NOT.BT1]

i hate jap crap so i would prefer a dinosaur mate like i said before in the above post just my personal preferance i love the sound of a v8 not some jap 6

[Dose Pipe]

the japs are usless, but they can build engines :P

[Boonz]

keep the blue motor..... with a nice big bumpstick, yella terra head and twin strommies on a redline manifold she will move

[Dose Pipe]

go the above but with a 4 barrel holley and a blue bottle

[Boonz]

you gotta be kidding lol??? a 4 barrel on a straight 6.....number 1 and 6 cylinders would have some serious fuel starvation problems if you had that on there......either go twin strombergs or triple SU's if you want some go fast action...

i would say get rid of the 202 and get a v8 only because hq's are sooo heavy.

and v8's sound nice!

Unless you have practiced this theory please shut up.

[SL/ENUT]

Well if a 4 barrel carby is so good on a 202, why didn't Holden make them factory fitted with them then??. Think about it sunshine

Now 202WGN, whats your budget?.

[Dose Pipe]

Ok know it alls. go build a quick holden six.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Why didn't Holden do a lot of things that enhanced the performance of their vehicles? Cost. Holden couldn't add the cost of these parts and still remain competitive in the market, as most of the car manufacturers couldn't either.

[Dose Pipe]

why didnt they have big block chevs with big gm blowers on them? derr im a damn idiot

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

I'm sure Mr Baby Boomer would have loved that towing his van around Australia.

And also the fact that HQ's (and any other 202 powered beast) eat enuff fuel as it is even with a stock carb setup.

6 Cylinder HQ's were the 1973 equivelant of your standard soccermum Falcon or Commodore wagon... soccormums dont wanna go hard, they wanna spend less on fuel on their soccer runs so that they have plenty to spend on cottees cordial and rollups during their wednesday shopping trip!

Besides... if the 202 was set up to go hard, nobody would have bought the higher end rather more expensive 253 and 308 powered vehicles would they!?! Keep in mind that we are talking about a GM manufacturer here...

[Schmoburger]

Bloody hell you blokes get in quick!
