    well i havent re-dyno'd it yet. But at drift nationals last year at oran park it made 210rwhp (158 rwkw) with the stock computer and stok injectors, on a 38 degree day, with no fans. since i have added a haltec E6S, and huge injectors. ill let yuo all know how it goes. in the mean time if u want to add me drift_king87@msn.com.......just got it tuned. now makes 286rwhp

    Mines dead stock except for pod filter and 1 AFM mesh removed, on a good night I'd say 90kw atw (guess)

    Pacemakers are waiting to be picked up and fitted hehe should be good for another 10 or so kw

    With a real time test I would say my VL pumps out 70rwponies - both my VLs have 300, 000km which is about right for 18 years - I figure that the odometer misses a little as they don't tend to have more than this.

    I'd say the best place to pick one up is on eBay or a wreckers. They're a prick to fit though (I've heard) you have to pull half the dash apart apparently? Mine stopped at around 200,000 as well. I haven't bothered to fix it though. Wasn't sure where the fault was and I'm not a wizz at that stuff.

    has the speedo stopped as well or just the odo?

    if its just the odo then you need to pull dash out & put a bit of glue on the white cog so it stops slipping & actually makes contact again. All fixed!

    122rwkw is quite amazing if your reading it right considering they came out stock with 114kw at the engine.

    I pumped out 120rwhp or thereabouts when it was n/a- just excuse and filter.

    I got a result when I did the turbo conversion, but it said 130rwhp. And I honestly didn't believe it.

    few bits better than stock looking at 150-160. much less when running LPG (which is all i can afford lately.....) nearly 300 000 on the clock.

    std vl 6 cyl runs 114kw, turbo runs 150kw and V8 runs 132kw. Mine is std with cold air induction, k&n filter, pacemakers, hi-flow cat and sports exhaust and putting stage 2 chip in next week. i estimate my kw's to be more than a std v8 but not as high as a turbo... yet. A bloke at uni-chip also told me all vl's run different kw's. even if the same bloke made it on the same day with the same batch of bits. i do like the idea of removing the mesh, no real point for it. it doesn't filter squat unless you run a pod filter or ram flow that falls apart and sucks into the intake.

    unless its XR6 or Fairmont Ghia they are 158kw, and even then unless you have a Turbo NO stock VL N/A would hold one off.

    that seems a bit weak for a turbo with cooler and 3".
    but anyway check out this site for good specifications, VK - VY and on the top right hand side of the page you can select the model and get more info from VB - VZ, its worth the look.
