depends on its life........
has it been treated well or thrashed
is it stock or is it played with
more so you will need to look into the body and all the other areas, brakes drivetrain diff
no point having a turbo vl if the rest wont hold up or match whats done to it

its thrashed more then liklyOriginally Posted by vn nut
if its never been boosted then it would be standerd 6-7psi which it would hold fine with the over boost valve
you dont run a adjustable boost controler for no reason
just look over the car for rust
under the rear windscreen and around the front window
the rear boot rubber lift that off and see how that looks
check oil cap for milkyness which is a sign of cracked head or gasket

or yeah i know all that stuff he reckons the motors still good im just gonna have to go check her out
The Future.
whats the price???? compare that with the car.. then compare that with the rwc if u need to get that..
5500.00 already registered nsw (i think im gona stick to the v8s if i wana turbo i think im beta off building it myself a
well make sure it has an a8 block.and also make sure its got lw5 on the id tag think thats the code for turbo mtr.
just give it a good look over.try look at it when its cold on start up for smoke etc
yeah engine number is 065874a8 and its vin is AVL018010A
sounds right a ?
hes had it for 3 years its currently runnin 10 psi never been past that in his care he reckons and he reckons it blows no smoke at all
like even if it is good and that how long do you reckon itll last
im past my thrashin days but still like to have the power there when i need it?
do yous reckon it sounds the goods or?
sounds ok.the eng is a og turbo block anyways so thats a plus in your favour.
i would be starting it up on a cold start thoe so you can listen for noises etc and also when the car is cold on start up the oil seals in turbo have not yet expanded so you will see if the turbo seals are fine.
my old r33 used to piss out oil when it was cold 1st thing in the morning until it warmed up then it stopped blowing smoke.
up load some pics
and whats the benefit of the original turbo block?
suppose its got all the goodies to suit the turbo hey
not just bolting a turbo on to a stock block?
The Future.
Looks nice mate and yeah itll have all the right engine internals if its original.
yeah seen that on ebay i think the starting bid is 5500 thoe?if i got it id do the walky lower but still the mix of 2 doesnt look to bad

bearings and the rods are the same as the NA motor just the pistons are flat (not domed) to lower the compression over the NA motor
has better oil pump
diff cam, to stop a flat spot over mid range
intake manifold is diffrent,
besides that and the holes for the oil and water its the same

true that but for me it comes down to peice of mind
well went and seen it it looks a hell of a lot better on the photos
and drivin it i thinks id pick a 5.0ltr over the turbo six anyday
over a stock turbo anyway
i think ill stick with me 5.0s
keep an eye out mate dont buy the 1st thing.just because one vl you drive aint that good dont judge them all like that.
although you could close this topic go buy a tuff tidy vn ss in grey lol
yeah im in no rush missus just got given a seca with 35,000 ks on it off her nan so cheerin bout that, goin to have a look at another one tomorrow
its motor supposedly been rebuilt 10,000 ks ago same for the turbo
so should go pretty good
i think i need a bit more money to get sumfn a lil special a?
maybe.all i know is if your buying somehting with rebuilds get receipts lol.
but if you want reliability id go the efi 5.0
whats in your ball park for a car?got any other cars in mind apart from a vl turbo.what state you in?
nsw v8s or turbos hey got 5500.00 cash
yeah thats the thing he reckons he doesnt have the receipts cos his brother in law rebuilt it like yeah pull the other one a
yeah if i get a 304 i definately want a auto with a stally and cam or its not worth havin
they all sey that about vl turbos lol
