Im going to use the turbo and motor in the walky and maybe turn this into a convertible maybe just leave it the way it is,

might be able to get pics in a few days maybe 2moz see what happens!

there is no rust in it, but the guy had 20's on it and cut the inner lip out of the rear guards so it didnt scrape, but all in all im basically just getting it for the engine turbo setup and calais front. I have the 2 shells that im doing a deal with him, i give him them and i pay less for it!

No such thing as a series 2 VL, or series one for that matter

**Nackerz** · 28-10-2009, 09:15 AM

**detox_nath83** · 28-10-2009, 06:50 PM

**Nackerz** · 28-10-2009, 08:02 PM

**STEALTHY™** · 28-10-2009, 08:03 PM

Whats block got to do with it? VLs have running updates, motor included. Meaning technically an 88 model would be a series 4

**Nackerz** · 28-10-2009, 08:11 PM

coz series 1 block have not got the holes tapped for the oil and water lines where as the series 2 block has

You must have missed what i said. Holden don't designate them series one and 2, PEOPLE have adopted that system (usually worked out by the shape headrests you have) which is wrong

No such thing as a series 1 or 2 block, theres early blocks without the holes, and late blocks with the holes, and probably a completely different one (we'll call this baby series 3

)

**Nackerz** · 28-10-2009, 08:54 PM

Oh i sold the berlina for 3000...i brought it for 500 so technically i got the calais for nothing

heres some pics

Ahhh ok i get ya now bro!

**Nackerz** · 28-10-2009, 09:21 PM

can someone tell me what the turbo actually is....i know its a garret but i think i might rebuild it first as it has a little shaft play but not much....

better to be safe then sorry i guess

**Nackerz** · 28-10-2009, 09:29 PM

oh and the fins have a bit of yellow paint on them does this mean it has been hi flowed??

sorry im only new to the turbo side of things lol

**VL Berlina 5speed** · 28-10-2009, 10:40 PM

if you look directly into the intake of the front turbo housing normally the housing will taper narrower towards the impeller

if its consistant and doest taper its more then likly has been high flowed to fit a bigger front wheel

not sure what you have, looks to be bigger then you usal t3 but that might just be the intake pipe throwing me off
measure how wide you intake is

**Nackerz** · 28-10-2009, 10:44 PM

on the tag on the turbo it says
