looks sweet mate.. what you gonna do if it goes bang.. get another internally stock motor and bolt your goodies on or build up a motor to handle it all?

[vn calais manual]

now that is sweeeeeeeet

[immortality]

very clean and tidy mate very respectable times how did you do the exhaust manifolds?

[Boonz]

do you have a time slip??? im a bit sceptical cos of no mods.... just cos of the MPH is a bit low to run an 11.74....

[boostedwag]

Just put another stocker in if she blows.

I got the timeslip here somewhere, ill try post it up. It runs a slow terminal speed because its crossing the line way past its peak power. Even though its turbocharged it still has the V6 crappy top end power. Im throwing on a set of high ratio rockers soon which should help out the MPH. 60" times around the 1.6 second mark helps.

This is a video of the 11.74 pass

Ok found this floating around the net

[Boonz]

ah k that might explain that time then! probably should look at uttin the stock diff gears in for now to help with the quick passes and running out of power

[boostedwag]

yeah ive thought about the diff gears but a few places have told me a high stall doesnt work that well with stock 3.08 diff gears. That ratio would have it crossing the line right on peak power so might run a slower time but would do it at more speed.

pic of the manifolds. The turbo in the picture is a GT30 that i had on it originally. The external gate now hangs off the bottom of the manifolds just before the turbo flange

Nuts man! awesome video, it pulls like a 15 yr old on bangbros.

Thats insane mate. How much did it cost ya? Seriously considering putting a turbo on mine (although maybe a little bit less boost so the engine lasts)

[immortality]

interesting way to cross over the bellhousing rather coming around the front of the engine, looks much tidier. well done

[LowVp]

what ecu are you running in it champ?

[boostedwag]

i kinda lost track of the cost, it was done over 2 years ago and not many people knew how to do it properly, so cost has blown out a bit from changing stuff. Big cost was changing the turbo from the GT30 internal gate to the GT35 external. To do it again would cost a lot less but its still up around the 12grand mark when you factor in a gearbox and diff rebuild. Its still not bad for a 11second car that i can drive everyday to work.

Its a stock computer with a kalmaker chip and 2 bar map sensor.

just that i'm chasing a better tune then what i have paid for but i am running a haltech

[Commotion]

This is very nice. i have a GT3540 to go on mine to replace the T04 but bought it cheap and found out it needs a rebuild so that is delaying things a bit. took my brothers supercharger VU to the drags a couple nites ago and we got hooled. he has already ordered 1.9YT RR's and i am trying hard to get the turbo fixed so i can take mine down the track as well. good luck with your quest for quicker times. keep us updated.

hope mine ends up bein that quick
