Turbo For The Alloytech

[VZSV6]

Does any one know if there is a turbo kit for the alloytech 190 yet or any other performance parts

Cadillac BLS

Apparently the new Cadillac BLS is set to hit our shores sometime in 2006, and (in Australian-spec) if will have a 2.8-litre version of the Alloytec (with turbo). It will produce 186kW of power and 340Nm of torque.

The BLS is front-wheel drive and aimed at the European and Asian markets, plus it's based on the Saab 9-3 architecture so it could easily become right-hand drive.

So, to answer your question, there will be a turbo version of the Alloytec (and nothing to say we won't see a turbo in the Commodore... stay positive!)

These are the guys who have put a supercharged BA XR-8 motor in a Territory and also have a Supercharged SS Crewman developing huge horsepower.

They are sure to have something for you.

Howd they fit the XR8 motor in the Territory? Apparently the only reason Ford doesn't make the Territory with the V8 is cause it wont fit...

From what I understand it was a lot of hard work to squeeze it in from underneath and there was some modification involved.

It is the only Supercharged V8 Territory in existence and produces 400kw on 8psi boost.

P.S. Their road registered Supercharged LS-1 Crewman produced a dyno proven 1022 hp at the REAR WHEELS!!!! It used 13.5lt/100 km driving Adelaiade to Canbera Summernats.

All very neat, factory looking work.

That comes as no suprise, it hardly fits into the XR8!! They have to install them with plastic sheets surrounding the engine bay to prevent scratches as the thing squeezes in. At least they did, not sure if they still do.

Hehe, morons.

Correct, on two counts, the XR8 engine can only fit in from underneath and yes the engine bay needs protection during the engine fitting process as the engine actually rubs on the way in!
