Incase anyone on JC doesn't know this guy, this is and correct me if I'm wrong, the fastest unopened stock boost super 6 powered Commodore in the world

[immortality]

nice ride, thats quick looks like you have dropped the a/c. all that and still on the factory pulley for the blower. impressive

[calaiscruzer]

Awesome work and so clean, rips a nice burnout.

Respray in white to keep it original? a custom colour would be great..

[Emackulation]

[vnformula6]

cheers evry1 4 all ur comments

greenfoam - yea fastest unopened/uncooled L67 Commodore, - she has a smaller blower pully on, but im sure it would still go mid to low 13s on stock boost, to much effort to put the stock pully back on tho. Yea im new 2 JC so thought i would share my ride with all.

immortality - motor came missing the ac, but i just put the vn 1 on, to hot not to have air con lol.

calaiscruzer - . yea love ripping a skid, does it so easy, was begging 4 3rd in that vid but the clutch doesn't like it. Will see if i can find a engine bay shot, needs som more tidying up before i'll be happy with it. Yea not sure on colour yet, an out there custom colour would be cool, but so would keeping it original.

VNexecutive - yea i really need to get the glove box clear coated to look after it or somthing.

RVN 355 - Shes an ecotec, yea glad i went the L67, so easy to do, would have like to go a gen3 but floging em with a six is so much more fun. Love the kits, couldnt imagine it any othe way.

vn calais manual - still feels slow lol, damm mates with quicker cars

Grennan - yea runs around 4-5 psi higher than stock, no head or cam work, cant wait to get cooled, want som 11s

Mack - will defin keep updated, need to sort out a fuel surge setup then will try and better the time, duno if i will be able 2 tho, then will be cooler time.

with it being a fairly stock motor their's plenty more grunt and faster times in her yet. hell, 12's is pretty fast already, those other mates must be bloody fast. sounds like you need a clutch upgrade, the standard PBR clutch doesn't handle much abuse before you have problems. a decent fuel system is good insurance, the worst thing you can have is a fuel system that just can't keep up and leans out the mix at high rpms

[vnbabe07]

nice car i like it i wanna put a supercharge on my car wat woulld i have to do

[minux]

Nice ride mate, car looks clean and tidy, not over the top, makes it even better I'd keep the standard paint, don't want it to stand out too much, it would lose it's unsuspecting charm!!

Heaps left in it lol yea whipple blown cars have that effect on ya lol, makes mine feel like a pulsar afterwoods haha. The pbr did around 35-40K of bein thrashed before it wore out, there not bad, just wont hold third on the brake lol. Yea got a bosh 44 just need to get my tank mounted up and get it all in.

Mack - Nah its a blast, nothin much to really hit so dont really have to worry
som video of another track day just havin som fun - YouTube - SupraWA AHG December 07 - Commodore

vnbabe07 - cheers. best way is to get a whole wreck that way you have all the parts ya need, then just have to do the wiring, which can be very costly if ya have to pay a auto leccy to do it, theres a bit to it, PM me if ya after som more info

minux - cheers. never thought of it like that, keep it a bit more sleeper, i like that idea.

[NEDWOB]

very impressed with your car and i like it alot..well done

[cano1]

any updates on this??i thought it was gonna be a big thread...

[Cobez]

Incase anyone on JC doesn't know this guy, this is and correct me if I'm wrong, the fastest unopened stock boost super 6 powered Commodore in the world

I was going to say, it's not often you get an unopened 6 pulling 12 second QM's.


That's bloody amazing. Well done mate!! It's amazing what a well tuned and set up engine can do!

[mws]

Just searchin through old threads and come across this, that is an awesome 6 mate. How fast is she now? i wanted to do that conversion a while back on my VR ute but then again i have lotsa conversion ideas that dont happen lol.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Damn thats one quick V6, good work dude!

[vnformula6]

meanvn - cheers

Cobez - cheers tune is a little out haha, bit more in it but cbf since i reached my goal of running 12s unopened/non cooled

Jaseppe's VR / cano1 - Cheers, havent done much to it this year, been working to much and building friends cars to get the time, but meens i been saving lots to spend on it haha. did run at the drags but had some fuel problems at high rpm, but was running .2-.3 quicker by half track!!! should have easily seen 12.6/7 bout the only thing i have done is got my plates on [JUSTASIX]

Wagon_Wheel - thks, yea its getting there, i'll be happy when its doing some mid/low 11s, haha problem is soon as it does that i'll be wanting a 10, cant see y it wont do that on a stock bottom end, will have to see.

Been collecting parts, Got a T56 bellhousing and brass button clutch, just need 2 find a box. got 8 rib Odrive balancer, yt billet rails, big injectors and currently making a a2a plate that should see som interesting results, hopefully will get stuck into it in the next 4-5 weeks and get all the bits on, bring on some 11s

[vnv8driver]

looks good, i had a vn formula years ago, but was unlucky and got the ugly brown interior....
