Nice ute mate, good job on the turbo. How much power is it making? Good luck on the future mods.

[LowVp]

estimated 180-200rwhp, enough to roll a VS clubby from a rolling start and a current stock wrx. untuned, no fuel reg and stock injectors running 5 pound

[flyen]

dont see many vp utes around
and especially turboed v6 ones

go the utes

Tuff ute there bloke, i bet it turns a lot of heads out on the street. keep up the good work and good luck with ya future mods.

[LowVp]

does when they can't spot the import and just see a ute instead

Very Nice Vp,great mods,luv the race wheels, I think after A Malpassi Regulator,Walbro/ MSD Fuel Pump Upgrade,some gears in the rear, haltech ECU and open up the heads a bit the good old 3.8L will be sweet and something not too mess with

Good work!

hey mate!
Nice ute! I got the same turbo setup as u and was wandering wether u ever get the same problem as me with the air intake pipe popping off the Throttle Body???

[LowVp]

i did, i used silicone and some good clamps, by the way where have you plumbed the BOV to?

[Xadous]

hey man whats your fuel pressure set at on that ?

[LowVp]

stock, reg should be here mid week

[Claudy]

I haven't plumbed back the blow off vavlve, just into the amosphere atm. I hooked it up to the fuel vaccum, doesnt go off when i rev it then back away, so tapped a thread into the throttle body and hooked it up there, but didnt make a difference, so hooked it back through the fuel vaccum, and ran the boost guage through the throttle body.

[LowVp]

yeah i plumbed mine in with the boost controller to start with and yeah it was popping off every time i gave it a boot.

Seems theres a few turbo VP's going around

How much was the L67 bottom end mate? Just second hand or reco? Tuff Ute buddy

[LowVp]

Future Modifications: T56 6 speed, 3.9:1 diff, L67 Bottom end, 600x300 cooler, T04E turbo, interior swap or paint

future mod, not yet done

[1991_Vn2nV]

Ahhh right, sorry bud, misread.

In that case.. are you going to go reco or just second hand?

[LowVp]

if i can get my hands on a low k unit 2nd hand, but if not reco

[Xadous]

when you get the reg let us know what pressure its at ?

[Claudy]

hey LowVp, have you had any troubles with the passenger side extractor flange where it meets with the y-piece where the turbo sits?? Mine just keeps blowing out the ****en gasket everytime, really annoying. Was thinking of making a bracket for the turbo so it is supported elsewhere, like on the motor or something...?

[LowVp]

nup, i did mine up with a rattle gun, only trouble i had was the flange at the flex, it kept blowing out there so i used 2 and a metric ass load off blue maxx rtv and made a gasket / rtv sandwich

[Claudy]

Oh ok... Any one here need a trans/oil cooler?? Just bought one on ebay, but realised i dont really need it... paid $81 for it, youse can have it for $70 + postage...
