Default My VR V6 Turbo **More photos added**

Hi Guys,

This is my ride, a 94 VR Exec V6 Turbo

Here are some photos and specs of the beast.


This is when it was wearing the 19's not long ago



Here is at Awesome Automotive - Adelaide getting the beast tuned up



This is the new intercooler setup with aluminium piping



Latest dyno run from Mildura


Has stage 2 auto, billet servo
3.08 LSD diff
King springs low
Monroe GT shocks
Twin piston calipers
Slotted rotors
6 into 1 turbo manifold
T70 turbo
3" mandrel bent exhaust
3" cat converter
External wastegate
60lb injectors
3 bar map sensor
Kalmaker tune
Yella terra roller rockers
Rising rate fuel regulator
Intercooled
BOV
Electronic boost controller
70mm throttle
10mm Leads
Iridium plugs
Copper head gaskets
Walbro fuel pump
Remainder of the engine is totally stock. eg, crank, rods, pistons, valves, cam, heads, inlet manifold.

Currently its sitting on 15" cop wheels with hubcaps, on the rear are some 265's. Im going for the sleeper look.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

No track times, but did a 13.5 on the g-tech, i think with a bit more practice it should crack a 12. Has been suggested i drop in some 3.7 gears, but i do alot of highway driving.

Yes, have plenty more, but didnt want to post up to many all at once.

Awesome setup, very clean.
How many km's had your engine done when you put it together?
Hope the auto holds together with that power!

Its getting close to 300k on the clock now and still going strong as ever. Automatic has full transgo stage 2 shift kit, with billet servo and trans cooler. Still running the standard stall converter.

In that photo it had Lovells super low springs up front, the tyre was sitting at the top of the guard. But now riding on king springs low. It got a bit bumpy with the super lows installed but looked great.

Im actually from the Riverland, took it over to Sanmateo performance for a dyno run back in March.

thats an awsome setup. the old buick can handle a lot of punishment. on the strip you get better traction, with some decent semi slicks on the rear it might get real close to a 12. if not some gears will definitly do the trick.

Thanks for the comments, yes the buick engine is very tough. My bro and I calculated its putting out almost 2.5 times more than from the factory. Have thought about some diff gears but dont really know what to get.

Thanks for support, has taken a while to get it to this stage but very happy with the results so far.

Have added a few new photos. Intercooler is nicely tucked away behind the bar.

Thanks, I also checked out your VS SS and thats a pretty sweet ride you've got.




Here are a few more photos ive added:


The 600x300x75 intercooler fits snuggley behind the factory bar.



Here is my custom console, took out the ash tray and fibregalssed it flat and then fitted in a 2" 5/8 boost gauge and 2" Air Fuel Ration gauge. Have also added a 2" oil pressure gauge to see how things are going under the bonnett along with the Greddy electronic boost controller hiding down the side.



Have upgraded to VS interior aswell as VS steering wheel, soon to be installed is a level 3 dash from a berlina.



Here's a closer look at the engine bay, and turbo setup.



Another view from the front, with the bonnet up.
