Not factory at all. Dealer fitted, could be. But never ever left the Holden factory with a turbo 6.

Ha Ha Ha how funny is that!

[Astranomical]

I love the scoop, you can most certainly tell that that is totally factory. (not)

[VL_5SPEED]

I heard that some early commodores were fitted with turbos in small limited numbers. But that has a high mount and a garret t4????? I dont think them parts would be factory.

[Pub247]

looks right but it wouldnt be a t4 they were t3's i think. The manifold looks to be the garret strata one

Prototype, yes but never sold to the public. This happened way back in the HZ Kingswood era

i just questioned him on it

[MG's VH Wag]

I heard that these cars were produced with the turbo but only a couple of hundred. Thats just what i heard.

[shanhsv]

Why is this one the only 1 the road and is not mentioned in any VB commodore reviews

[vbturbo]

ok i can tell you what i know about the VB turbo , it was releced by suttens in sydney, there was only 5 made they ran a garret t4 turbo and a 2.78 diff ratio could do just over 100kmph after we changed the gearbox to a m21 in first and a top speed of well over 240kmph. the main problem was a single su carby set up wich ment fuel would evaperate through the turbo when it was hot as there was no intercooler between the turbo and the engine. it ran a compresion plate between two head gasgets to lower compreshion which would blow out the head gasket at high psi (18+psi). my dad had this car he spent a lot to get it to go hard , it put out 470 hp when he finished and would do the quater in 11 seconds. i bought the car from him, finaly somone crashed into it and it was gone but i still remember the sound of that tubo and the gforce it threw you into the seat with.

[vbturbo]

yeah not sure about cdt, the one i had came with a custom bonnet scoup a turbo badge between the tail lights a little like the black peice between the lights on a vk but this was a reflective red with the big words saying turbo ( the only peice of the car i have left ) it also had a electric sunroof, yellow light burgular alarm and the inside trim looked more like a sle then a stock vb. if anyone has questions on this car im more then happy to help.
