thanks Matt.

and another TB question. when you moved the throttle body, did you modify the inlet for the charger at all? or did you modify the original pipe so the tb could fit on?

very very nice, the paint is in excellent condition, loving the bodykit!

Ok i am getting excted
iam just about to get my commodore back on the road.
In the last 6 months i have spent a bit of time
and money on the transmission and new motor

Ok the transmission is freshly rebuilt and strengthened
2500 stall stage 3 shift kit and should handle my engine upgrades

Now for the engine

i have had full rebuild with a few bells and whistles

custom cam
heads ported and polished
adjustable YT rollers
new 706 injectors
2 bar custom chip ( to suit new 10 lb pulley )
70 mm TB ( in front of charger )
Big intercooler

I do have twin TB 's but not going on yet ( i will wait it think )

I am hoping for 180 rwkw

Will get more photos this week when it is finished
Should be done and ready to go by Friday

[stocky]

i reckon over 200rwkw with all that engine work. keep us updated

thos eguards looklike they dont line up propery with your doors?


the actuall lines that go through the door are different to on the guard?

[cbb01]

no the guards dont have the strips on them.
And the doors wont have the strips on soon either
I never really noticed too much until you mentioned it in the photo
not as noticible in real life

Still waiting for the roller rockers. Should be here this week
then time for running in the motor

I dont know how much longer i can wait

[hakhawk]

the front strips still in good nick? if you're taking the door ones off and can get em off without damaging them, wanna sell them?

[cbb01]

Mate if i can get them off with out damaging you can have them

I am still running in the motor but half way there and it only seems to be getting better. I cant wait for the next 500 k's to go and do an oilchange and turn up the boost.

Going for bigger brake upgrade next month so still have to take it easy till i get better stopping

I am loving it.

Will post some figures when i get it going 100%

I got a figure of where i started 12 months ago STOCK and not doing it till i finished. ( Haltech , twin t/b ( already got sitting in shed ) and diff ) probably 12 months.

[cbb01]

OK DYNO RESULTS

286 rwhp so whats that 200kw plus a bit of change

Not bad i was aiming for 300 +hp but didnt quite make it there
I am still waiting on my Haltech to do a bit more fine tuning
so WILL definatly crack that 300 soon.

[Kruza]

when u upgrade ur brakes, can i buy them of you???
need something better to stop my vn as standard brakes are crap....lol

[calaiscruzer]

Nice car dude, kit looks good with that colour.
Whoa 200rwkw!!!! Thats gota be fun!

[cbb01]

Ok been a bit slack. Busy building my business rather than my car.
I finally got around to driving my car again and finally got it dynoed.
Did have some problems with my so called "new" 2 bar map sensor
so just done quick tune and wait till new one comes and try again.

But did manage 218.4rwhp running at 6 lb boost.
got a smaller pulley to put on but wait for a couple of
other things to be done first ( my hsv brake upgrade has arrived but not
on yet and got to get to some bushes and stuff in front )
but not to bad.

Should have more time so should be back and updating
reguraly now.

[SENNY]

tough as, keep up the good work
