Well he's stuck between dropping another stock ls1 in his, rebuilding and stroking his to 6.2l all forged or buying an ls3

Well he's ripping the engine out in next few days and stripping it down He took the dump plug off and he found metal fillings on the plug

He already has that, he has a big cam, high comp heads, 92mm fast intake and twin 3" exhaust, made 420rwhp and blew up the bottom end Now he wants to fix it and he's stuck on what to do

Anyone? Would it be easier/cost efficient to stroke the 5.7l to a 6.2l?

Hey guys, thought this would be the best place to ask.. My mate has a 2001 vt ss ls1 6 speed, it's had some work done to it (high comp heads, 92mm fast intake, big cam, full twin 3" exhaust with extractors.. Making 420rwhp) He's just blown the bottom end, after just buying the car and only...

Updates on this mate?

Yeah brad my tuner was suprised, when i said it has a chip in it aswell he was like wtf thats **** haha He ripped the airbox apart and we made 2kw more Proves the stock filter is **** haha

Its looking good man, i see you watched my video of my calais? Im abit annoyed on the power, was expecting more haha

Anything new mate?

Just spent last couple of hours reading this whole thing, good work mate! This car is a beast that will last forever

Should come for a cruise down to sa, not many bagged cars put here haha

Updates man?

Hows this chugging along man?

I was the one that said "thats ajs calais!" Haha

Was the page's last post before it got hacked aha

So i found your car going around on facebook ;)

Well ive always been in love with the s2 calais, **** if i had the money id drop an LS in that haha

Yeah well thats it, well what ever pops up first ill get, ill be happy with either a l67 or an ls1 Got ideas in my head for both anyway haha

Also a supercharged statesman with 176,000k's went for $750 at the auctions about a month ago, just trying to find another to come up haha

Yeah i had one untill it got stolen.... I was toying with the idea of swapping mine with $1500 for an ls1

If i did have the cash i would just buy a l67 engine, take the supercharger off and turbo it and just run 8-10psi daily for shits and gigs

Never said anything about buying a turbo kit? O.o Bowen thats what i thought i would do, get a wreck and swap everything over into it

Been trying to decide what i should do to my calais, im stuck with either modding my v6, spending around $1500 and making more power or buying a vs statesman/calais supercharged wreck and swapping the running gear into my calais. I figure it would be easier to put bolt ons, on the ecotec then...

Looks killa man! Whats your next move? F/i? :D How does the camber go with the bags btw?

Any updates man, keen to see this done ;)

On the topic of SR or RB - youd have to get in engineered. Chuck an LS1 in there and head down to Vic Roads (or whomever) with the engine number. Job done. Because the engine was an option for that car its a simple swap. dont mean to be a pain, but you just said the vs commodore had an...

Not a p plater btw

Super lowers in the front and super supers in the back will sit nice and wont be extremly low, i did super super in the front and ultras in the rear of mine, i got pulled over left right and centre but only got slapped on the wrist

Yeah well ima try to angle down as much as possible, might just run low beams

Ah alright, cheers for that :/

no one? :/ i ended up buying the $45 one

spewing cause i ripped all my org. stereo and stacker out of my car and chucked it, coulda gave it to you :/

i get around 12-13l/100 in my calais just normal driving half half city and highway..

hey there, im thinking about buying a hid kit for my vs, and ive found two... one is $45 and the other is $139... what i want to know is, with the $45 one, will it fit up? 55W HID HI LO BI Xenon Conversion KIT Dual Beam Ballasts H4 3000K 6000K 8000K | eBay and this is the $139 one...

i was planning to put a v8 in my vs calais, but it'd cost to much unless you got a v8 donor car for like $500... so im just gona drop a l67 in it, dont need to change as much as you would a v8 going v8 would need another kframe thats a v8 one, maybe springs/brakes

s1 or s2? ive seen a few on gumtree before, cheapest i seen was around 4000 EDIT: also look on carsales.

Its looking good mate, can see that the car brings all the pussy ;) Haha

Ahh alright, i just want the rears done in my series 2, but want them auto level (i think :/ ) just so i can get it all done and not get ####ed over buy the police haha Im still deciding if i should go turbo ecotec, supercharged v8, or go all out and go 2jz turbo haha

Any updates mate? Hows rear airbags handle btw? Trying to decide if its worth it to get rears

i used the pool noodles from big w and cut them up, shoved them in between the gaps in my boot, stopped it hahah!
