What sort of power are you making from this setup and what has it cost?

[Goon]

wow u had to cut up a xf carby body and vl manifold to make that happen? dang i hope it was a pro job.. do u need a throttle body from an xf to do this?

Cost? kw?

At what point when driving the car do u use the supercharger? highway use?

this shits intresting man makes me wanna buy another vl

[benji-charged-vl]

i havnt dynod it yet but defantly feels atleast times 2 faster man easyly...haha nah i just have it on flat out haha you can tell the diference ay have it off right keep the throttle in the same possition then turn it on n bam instant power,takes of pretty sweetly...and they surprisingly pump out some mega ****n air ay(and thats with the stock pulley) you can get updated (smaller) aftermarket sc14 pulleys that boost up you psi by a hell of alot(from pulley bros for 150-200$ and a huge psi diferance(thats ****all money for the psi ya gettn))..haha and i rkn they sound pretty sick and defantly worth it....i brought the charger for 400$ of ebay made the mounts done the in n outake piping n away i went(before i added some extra stuff to make it beter)

these superchargers are of toyotas eg supras and them meen lil drift hatchback things forgot what there called

as for the throttle body its just of a injected xf man and had the upper plenum welded with an adaprot to fit it and ported out....63mm is the stock throttle body size on a vl..xf throttle body is 84mm i bielive so its a huge diference and doesnt cost stuff all ay..if anyone is interested in doin it i can show em how to fit the tps corectly(throttle possition sensor)it was an assbleed gettn that right haha so ive been thru the wanker parts of it to get it running right

im no full on guru but i do no some good info if its needed lol

[benji-charged-vl]

ay goon

as for the throttle body man i got the upper plenum all welded with the adaption plate and everything for 130$ from sonic injection and the throttle body cost me 10$ from the wreckers....definant cheap efective mod...specialy if your turbo or charged ay...evan just plain n/a definant give it a go

Goon, there's a thread over on CT which gives you the step by step process on how to put the XF TB onto the VL.

Got any pictures of the bay now that it's not all in mockup and tidied up?

[benji-charged-vl]

yeh i seen all there info on there wen i was doin it alot of it helps but some if it is just useless bable about the same problem n no1 is helpn..i got stuck on heaps n nothing was helpn so figured it out meself..the auto and the manual tps is somewhat diferent aswell but yeh..

4agze, came on some mr2s

[benji-charged-vl]

[Goon]

Wicked Benji, im so buying another VL to do this!!.. im turbo my first vl first hehe

[benji-charged-vl]

no worries man thats the go mate...need any addvice on anything just gimmie a msg bro but i think you should be fine wasnt to hard to do meself man n im not a complete guru or nothing but yeh any help dont hesitate to ask

[HiOnBoost]

why would you bother doing this when aftermarked parts to turbo a rb30 are so cheap?

[HiOnBoost]

and on top of this that style charger come of a 4 cylinder car!!

[benji-charged-vl]

haha yeh there of a 4cylinder car but when get some aftermarket parts for the charger of pulleybros its worth it....ive seen them chargers with an outcome of 5-15 psi(depending on the charger pulley size) get a aftermarket pulley(smaller) n the psi boosts up dramaticly

great for a conversion i say from n/a to charged..and not as many hassles n things ya have to change ay

[TUF UTE]

did you keep going through afm's ?

[benji-charged-vl]
