Thanks for the comments fellas. The kit itself is under 5K but supporting mods such as fuel system etc make it a bit more than that. Check this site out for some more info:

how much did the whole setup drive in drive out cost you mate??
must sound good with the 50mmext wastegate
wherebouts did u get it fitted?
and hows the drive?

[Solid8]

Thanks for the comments fellas

The fuel system I put in is an overkill for this setup. The only reason I put it in is because I was going to run the car on E85, but the government has banned its sale which stuffed my plan up lol. You can get a setup like this drive in drive out including an intank walbro fuel pump, siemens 60lb injectors, tune and everything else for about 7500-8000. The 50mm gate sounds nice and deep under boost lol.

I fitted this kit and tuned it myself, which saved on alot of costs. It drives smoother and quieter than it did before. Off boost, it is completely docile, quiet and smooth. On boost, it pulls real hard

Hi mate,

Yes I am the one who used to have the SV8. You are Michaels mate right? Will be good to catch up with some of the old boys again soon!

[vy_ss]

nice shane didnt think you would take long till you put boost into her lol. ill b hitting you up for a tune soon you still keen to do it ??

[TrikkBen]

Nice setup dude, One question..are you not running a Air filter? Could be mistaken, i just cant see one?

Ben

[Solid8]

Yo mate! Its been a while since I caught up with you. Yeah for sure mate, let me know when you are ready for a tune and I will help you out

nice shane didnt think you would take long till you put boost into her lol. ill b hitting you up for a tune soon you still keen to do it ??

No you are not seeing things mate, no air filter at the moment. They are overrated and the intake sound is 100 times better without a filter lol

Nice setup dude, One question..are you not running a Air filter? Could be mistaken, i just cant see one?

[Jesterarts]

Awesome car... a true sleeper I recon!

Not sure that I can agree with "air filters are overrated"... unless you know something that every other car engineer and manufactured doesn't...

[TrikkBen]

No you are not seeing things mate, no air filter at the moment. They are overrated and the intake sound is 100 times better without a filter lol

Your engine will go bang 100 times quicker though... I have to disagree with he overrated line. Why risk an obviously nice setup for a better "intake sound"... Seems illogical to me.

Each to their own. Good luck with that though.

yer, im Micks mate
everyone has seem to die off this year, too cold i reckon
bring on the summer time gatherings

personally i think Shane has a good idea on what he is doing with turbo set ups on ls motors
going by his old vy this one is mellow


so much planned in the future for the car? or if it happens it happens

[Solid8]

Aah just a bit of a joke about the air filter boys lmao. I am still looking for one that fits nicely in that gap there, thats why it doesnt have one on yet.

Yeah I am making up these as kits with a few improvements on the kit my VY used to run, so hopefully I can move a few Not going to do much with this VX, its more of a reserach car for now.

Mike, you dont go cruising at all anymore? I hear you had a little one not long ago, congrats mate!

[ChargedBT1]

Seen and been in this car, Goes hard

[Solid8]

Just a short vid of a bit of throttle:

[vy_ss]

nice you had betta take me for a drive next time i go out..

[NickVR]

Looks like an awesome set up Shane. The old VY was mental in comparison to this. Keep up the good work.

[Solid8]

Thanks Nick. The VY flogged this car big time lmao, but for a daily driver, the VX suits me well
