New job

[3800_man]

I was curious if you think this is a good idea for a job, i wank a vk, put a vn-vs (whatever i can find) motor and gearbox rebult and new everything, put in it,extractors, exaust,cai, pod, aftermarket timing gears, crow cams, bored and stroked (just a little), aftermarket fuel and oil pumps. and sprts tuning, but the one thing i was wondering about is a sports or aftermarket efi, someone said there awsome, so a bit of feed back guys, like what you think and what mods iv missed what u think of the power to weight ect ect thanks guys

what engine you gonna throw in it, 6 or 8. the V8 would be the go. =)

[3800_man]

a 3.8 v6, dont want an 8

[PaRaDoX]

i think supercharging it would be a good idea =D

i dont know why you'd use a VK chassis tho,
use a VL last model in that shape, had a better front end, sounds like a lot of work to me lol, oh well ive seen a buick 3.8 put into a volvo so why the hell not lol, btw the kframe will need to be changed and the wiring for this car would be a nightmare, you have to install EFI first of all, ECU, all the wires, new tacho/ instrument cluster. and then if your lucky you'll get a max of 150-160rwkw, for alot of money its not worth it, id be starting with a EFI car, then atleast you have the wiring looms there already.. just my 2c

pmsl...that just made my mornin (im easily amused)..."i wank a vk"
also..how do you stroke it.."just a little"...its either stroked or its not.
i think you should just drop a 304 under the bonnet and you'll be cheering...a vk with an efi v8 would be sweet.

[3800_man]

lol i meant like bore it just a little, and thanks for the feedback, keep it coming people

[bush_basha]

yes, i agree with sircruisealotVS a 304, with some mods will hammer, you dont have to spend much on them for them to fly.

way too much money dude, drop a v8 in it, i mean if you have the cash deff do it, but if your scraqppin, get a v8

i stroked my series 11 vs ute and am expecting some great HP out of it, costs heeps though. V8ETA

[3800_man]

na dudes, im loving the opinions, but im not putting an 8 in it, i wanna stick with a 3.8 maybee make it a 4, and doing that up

[3800_man]

I know this is an old post but i was wondering, my original post for this thread do u guys think i have missed any mods, just say i buy a vn executive series 2 and put the following, what kind of power ect ect,

extractors, exaust,cai, pod, aftermarket timing gears, crow cams, bored and stroked, aftermarket fuel and oil pumps. and sports tuning...? thanks guys

[sircruisealotVS]

you would also want some valve springs and retainers, other than that it depends how big you really wanna go....also you wouldnt need to do the fuel pump, your not goin for forced induction so its not needed.

[3800_man]

cool thanks mate
