hey guys im thinking of turboeing my vn series 1 its only got 90 000 ks on it so would the motor be able to handle it??? and also does anyone know the parts i need like manifold, turbo, etc??? and a rough cost off all this if i do it myself???
there is another thread on here that i recently put stuff in. Its a vp commo i think but close enough.

"Blown Vr wagon, 275hp at the wheels.. Much more to come in the near future!"
90,000??? LOL that's only just run in. Where did you find that?

wow 90,000k's, cant even find a VT commodore with those K's.
Jesus, that's brand new. Has it still got the factory tyres on it? ^^
Motor should take 6 pounds without any hastles. (that's about 0.5 bar.) And if you're putting it all together yourself, just remember to get the chip+tune done properly before you drive it anywhere.
A turbo VN should go like stink. If you've got the money, then go for it. You're one lucky bastard.
(Then you can get a noisy BOV, a boost gauge the size of a small dinner plate, five "Nismo" decals, and show all those ricers how it's meant to be done!)![]()

You don't need a turbo to show the ricers a thing or two...even in stock form the VN is potent enough to scare crap out of most of them.

This might give you a rough idea of how much the setup would cost. These stage 3 turbo kits for vl-vs go for 4g's. If you sourced all parts yourself would only set you back around $1500-2000. Your car is a rare one at that to have a mere 90k. Look after it. It will go hard with turbs...Originally Posted by canb_vn06

well im glad I found this page,
im in the process of banging on two m10 garrett turbos to my 89 vn, it has a few home mods at the moment, if somebody could let me know why it wont let me up load pic's that would be great,
i told my machanic about what i had done to it and what distance it takes to get from 0-100klmph, he 'told' me my speedo was out coz i had 16's on(but only on the front). or the distance measured out was wrong, longa the short he came for a 'test' drive and he to had a smile on his face...
ok, my bad there is a pic there of my home mad madness, plan to have one turbo feeding each tb...ummmmm should be fun?
