1987 VL Calias

[SlickNick_]

Hey dunno if this is in the right section but what the hell.

Ive got a 1987 VL Calias stock, and i was looking to turbo it.

Can anyone tell me what i have to do to do this, ive been looking at a few turbo kits for vl but they are rb30, im not even sure what motor comes stock on the calais(only been driving few months lol)

Do i just buy a turbo kit and then get someone to install it? I notice the kit dosent come with a intercooler would i need 1 straight away or can that wait? Where would install a turbo kit in Adelaide?

Thnx in advance

your motor is most definently a rb30, now its easier to turbo your motor if its a so called "series 2 motor" otherwise theres a bit more mucking around...

you do not need an intercooler at all but this all depends on how much power your looking at aiming for...

the other thing is you cant just turbo your stock motor and expect your stock na gearbox and na diff to hold up that well (maybe a few months if your lucky but again debends how much power you wanna have)

heres a quick list:
Parts you will need

Turbo Dump to cat pipe
Turbo Exhaust Manifold
Turbo Injectors
Turbo Dump pipe
See picture above (number 5 in it)
Turbo Computer
Crossover pipe
**OR**
Intercooler kit (i.e GKTEK)
Oil and Water lines
Intake Elbow

Misc Parts
Exhaust Manifold Gasket
Turbo Gasket
Middle plenum gasket
Dump to engine pipe gasket
Engine pipe to cat gasket
New Exhaust Studs with Nuts and Washers
[img studs and nuts]
3/4 90 Degree Bend hose, 3/4 BSP to 3/4 Barb Brass Fitting
[img oil drain fitting]
14x1.5mm Banjo Bolt with 2 washers (brass or alloy)
12x1.25mm Banjo Bolt with 2 washers (brass or alloy)
Silicon Hoses (Or rubber, doesnt matter)
Hose Clamps
Heater Hose

Also this is stuff thats different between na and original turbo cars:

Brakes on the VL TURBO are larger, and they have got finned calipers
Rear brakes are always DISK on a VL Turbo
Diff on a VL turbo is 28 spline Vs 25 spline for non turbo (28 is MUCH stronger)
Master Cylinder (brake) is 1" instead of 15/16'ths
Brake Booster is Double Diaphram in a turbo car
VL turbo Manual is stronger MX7 vs MF5 (non turbo is useless)
VL TURBO auto is stronger and has an oil cooler
