    Default My charged vp calais

    http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/...r/bd44c174.jpg

    Hey guys this is my vp Calais v6 that I've put a eaton m62 charger on it.
    Used to have user name anothervn but now it won't work for some reason so now my user name is the same as my number plates Ford hater lol.

    It's a series 2 v6 that I got lowered and a cat back exhaust, I've since added a set of pacemakers high flow cat, cai + filter, 5litre throttle body, 36lbs injectors 1.9 ratio roller rockers and an eaton m62 supercharger currenly on 5psi untuned so not on the road at the moment, a friend of mine from trickshift shift kitted the auto with full manual valve body it was fun it chirped 19s but felt to harsh on the rear of the car and I didn't want to break the reco driveshafts I put in so it's just a stage 1 auto now it's much better, I've also added some ve ssv rims sssl springs in rear and superlow front with a silver drop tank, re chromed all around the car including the rear tail lights and the garnish and also put in a full stereo system and 2 12 s. Future plans are Msd ignition a cam hi stall and currently building a LSD with 3.7 or 3.9 ratio any suggestions?

    Hey I'm hoping for around 170 at the wheels tuned on 9-10 psi, do you mean don't get busted cause I am on p's or for another reason, havnt looked into if it needs to be engineered or anything yet.

    Only until April then i am fully licensed, I don't take her out much as I'm always doing something to it, am finding it hard to find a reasonably priced tuner they all want 1250-1350 to make a chip and then I'll get it dynoed and post the sheet up

    Have thought about it, but I sort of want to get it to a point were I am happy and leave it at that, an aftermarket ecu opens up other avenues I'll be for ever working on it, but I'll see what happens!!

    Hey mate I had to get rear spacers I got them from bob janes for a hundred maybe more cannot remember, they are well made they bolt up onto the existing studs and give from memory about 4 or 5 cm spacer with new studs sticking out.

    I got the charger kit from eBay for 1500, had alot of tuning hassles and was supposed to push out 10-13Psi but I cannot get more than 5, making a smaller pulley and getting it tuned, At the moment the Aussie dollar being good if you can find one you can get the charger manifold and fuel rail for around 800 from USA. Cheers
