Get yourself some high pressure fuel hose and clamps from repco. $30 a metre from memory. Probably only need 2 metres to be safe. I redid all mine from the pump to injectors coz it was having fuel problems constantly. While your at it get a new fuel pump, fuel reg, fuel filter and injector...

After all that stuffing around as dollars spent It's now sadly back to n/a :( had wayyyyy too many problems with the turbo set up. And there's no tuners where I live so went back to stock. Maybe a v8 one day in the future for the wagon :)

I made a thread the other day but didnt get an answer, hoping to get one soon. So the problem is it idles really high then after about 2mins it drops down to almost no revs then after a few seconds conpletly stops. When driving it 1st gear is perfect, then in the rest of the gears it revs...

When under boost my vl starts spluttering and blows a heap of black smoke. Anyone have some diagnostics??

Latest update: the wagon is finally turbod and running, happy days.. Now its time for interior, already has calais interior but going for something more custom but simple Heres a happy snap anyway..enjoy :D

I have heard of an rb30 twin cam but still looks like an 30. Can u explain how this is different. Pretty interesting :)

Havnt had an update in a while. Ended up sending the wagon to the mechanic to be finished. Was starting to get sick of seeing it sitting on the lawn everyday. Hopefully be boosting in atleast a week or 2.

The missus mum heard my car start. Then she seen them in the missus car. By the time she ran down stairs they were gone. They couldnt start her car coz it was in drive lol. They must of been ninjas in my house. Coz i didnt hear them in my lounge room. Which is right next to my bedroom.

Really have to pull my finger out now and get the wagon going. My house was broken into yesterday at 4 in the morning. Along with my wallet, VL keys, my little run around car and the missus phone being stolen. They tried stealing the VL but it obviously start and tried the missus colt...

Cheers mate. I think i might invest in a gregorys manual for myself aswell lol

Ive come to a slight holt on my turbo project. My turbo ecu wont run my fuel pump. And need to know where the accessory wire is in the ignition so i can hook the pump up to that so it runs. And i dont have a test light.

Still need to run the fuel pump to the ignition. Can anyone tell me which wire goes to where. As i have no clue. And im sick of seeing the wagon just being a garden ornoment on the lawn lol

How much was the sound deadener?

Yea just kept it with a bit of length until i find a good place to mount it

The pump is priming for the n/a ecu but not priming for the turbo ecu. Car is also cranking but not starting. Battery is dead now after listening to beats while playing turbo lol

This right then?

Yeh thats all i did. Getting an auto leccy mate to put a kill switch in and run the fuel pump to ignition

Pobably the best thing u did was get out of this valley haha. I kno i want to lol If i was to drill a hole into the plenum and screw in a nipple piece would that work?

Cheers mate, when did u live in nammy? Theres about 6 or 7 around now

So to make it clear i just attach vac line to turbo housing then t piece then attatch to my wastegate. Which nipple on.the plenum chamber for the gauge?

no offence taken mate. and cheers :)

i asked the same question on one the vl facebook group and ive been told to run fuel pump relay to the ignition switch. anyone know how to do this?

it was at his house where he works from. they went onto his property while he wasnt home.

haha cheers mate but it was no good. plugged the turbo ecu in and the fuel pump wouldnt work. so tried the n/a ecu to see if the pump would work... and it did. but n/a ecu's cant run turbo injectors. so i dont kno what to do atm

just finished my conversion and im trying to start it. the n/a ecu will not obviously run the turbo injectors. and my turbo ecu wont run the fuel pump. so im stumped atm. and diagnostics would be helpful. cheers

update: dump pipe on. cooler piping done. apart from turbo to air box. fuel reg in. things to do today: plug computer in hook up boost lines try and start it :)

On her way home :)

Tiny update: Got my car back home from the mechanics where its been sitting for he last month and a bit. Only because some wankers were snooping around it and took photos of it and put them on facebook and ppl were trying to buy stuff off it. Anyway...i got the cooler piping hooked up from...

Loving this build mate. All coming together so quickly. Top work :)

U can download the Holden app on ur phone and check all specs of every early holden and later commodores.

Correcto..

Cheers fellas. Yeh i thought i could just turn it around. Just didnt wanna pull it apart then realise i cant

As u can see u in the picture. Does anyone think my turbo may be mounted wrong? As its going straight into the wheel arch or is this just normal? Just have a feeling its gunna be a bitch to fit the intercooler piping when i get around to it

Could u possibly run the battery cables underneath the plastics and carpet that the door closes into?

Wtf did they do to that blue vl!? Looks like a 180sx or something lol.

Haha cheets mate. Yea im stoked with it. Came out awesome.

Coming together nicely man. And the calais diff it comes with the disc brakes and no lsd 25 spline from what I can remember

The finished product.

A little progress

Sory double post
