[vnrockit]

Hi all

done most of the work myself but still go a lot more to do
the motor is an L67 v6 supercharged out of a vs stato
mods so far : 82mm pulley, 5% overdriven balancer, 1.9:1 rockers
carbon fibre airbox with pod filter and a v8 supercar brake duct for cold air pick up, n/a pacemakers twin 2.5" s/s cats into 3" with 2 s/s mufflers

just fitted a carbon fibre bonnet which weights just over 5kg currently making carbon boot with a vnss bobtail molded in and some custom door panels

no problems conversion is pretty straight forward little bit of wiring but bolts straight in other wise i had a wreck to take the parts i needed

[vnrockit]

well my car is off the road for a bit supercharger was making bad nosies
so had it rebuilt like new now but i also ordered some thrermocomposites to
make an intercooler plate to allow me to run some more boost and hopefully get into the 12's
going to rip out the auto and get a manual valvebody put in and a few other things done

pics aint working for me............

[vnrockit]

well it been a while now been busy making my own custom
intercooler plate up for an air to air setup so far its looking good
and probably a couple of weeks away from being on my car can't wait
should be an easy 50+hp gain and get me into the 12s ETs

[vnrockit]

Had my car dynoed yesterday and ran up 211.8 hp @ 4750rpm leaned out after that

seems to go well but won't really know till i get it tuned

[vnrockit]

had car tuned yesterday with intercooler on got 204rwkw before it leaned out
getting a new fuel pump and going back for final tune

[1991_Vn2nV]

Nice effort mate, some good results

[vnrockit]

had car at the drags the other week managed a 12.66@109mph on 18" tyres
going back on monday to try better that with some slicks and a new custom u-bend

[vnrockit]

well done a bit better ran a 12.395@111.66mph on slicks

Nice mate, What you got planned to crack into high 11s

[beefcream]

that cooler just means business!! not bad at all

[vnrockit]

Nice mate, What you got planned to crack into high 11s

going to put some 3.45 gears in and get a shift kit as drive line is still stock
and maybe fit a bigger throttlebody
that should get me pretty close to 11s
and more practice with some slicks
i did a run with better 60' and 330' times but had to back off before i went
across into the other lane and got a 12.5 still

[vnrockit]

heres a vid of my 12.3 pass
8.5" slicks would rub when turning but was enough room to do a straight
line run

YouTube - VN supercharged V6 commodore 12.3sec 400m

[vnrockit]

Almost did the time i wanted but no cigar this time
Didn't start off to well had my plugs set to 0.98mm and was breaking down a fair bit
went to close the gap up a bit an pulled the end off one of my leads got 6 years out of them so not
to bad i guess magnacores will have to try again soon new leads and plugs and maybe a tune
in order of runs i got quicker each time maybe slicks might have got the number i was after

12.448@108.43 mph - 1.85 60'
12.398@108.69 mph - 1.84 60'
12.327@105.26 mph - 1.86 60' - blew off hose across the line ops: after this run i regapped the plugs (well closed the gap) and run one of astro's leads cause mine died
12.236@110.29 mph - 1.83 60'
12.153@111.80 mph - 1.86 60' - put front runners on
12.004@112.50 mph - 1.77 60' - didn't have time to put slicks on maybe next time

all runs were on et streets which hooked up pretty good even got my first lot of tyre shake
on my second last run
