have ya looked at what some of the boys are doing 11.3 ain't too bad and that isnt with too much massaging????

After all this is a v6 modification forum or am i mistaken??? I agree with immortality. Maybe theres nothing happening in the V8 forum. Notice the capital V ??? Ha ha:rofl2:

Might be next season as that was the final nights for the year. There is only nostalgia drags and a sponsors fun day left for the year. If you need a base for when you do come up there is plenty of room at mine? and im only 20 minutes away from Meremere, {15 in the VB}haha

Yeh have to say pretty happy with how the donk's going. Will be taking some measurements and slapping a 3 something diff in. You have 3.2:1? Ill get 13s yet mate. Hopefully without the rev limiter, haha:idea3:

Success and failure all wrapped in one, Car went strong! Good burnout, not too bad on launch without a high stall ran strong till 2/3 track, then whoever designed the 3and a half speed trans put there foot on the brake. With my 4.11 diff im tapped out at 2/3 track at 139 max. Wont do fourth gear...

No, quite the opposite. Heaps quieter as the small turb was sucking and blowing and making a hell of a induction noise. Its not as harsh low rpm but when that twirly thing goes, it comes on strong. Also with the other configuration i had trouble with short shifting at 4000 but with the extra...

All plumbed up and fired up tonight. Whirlie thing going round so all good. Test skid tomorrow as too many XXXX tonight. Ha ha ha Beer for those who can spell. Drags tomorrow night all going well !!!!!

Here it is, looks like it should do the job??? looks a little more at home in there than the t04,sort of like the to4 needs nappies.

Mmmm thats good to know, ill ring to see what he has put back in but if he has put standard back in I would be keen as thanks mate.

A question for westerlybreeze, I have had a billet servo in and it fouled the tunnel so trans man put standard type back in. What i'm wondering is would a corvette servo fit instead of having to cut the tunnel. Does the corvette servo have a bigger cover than standard ? If so how much bigger...

Need to alter my tunnel to accept the billet servo. T70 on its way:boxing: The same one Delco has fitted to the HQ and he recons they pull like a pack of school boys after the school ball. Haha Its a work in progress like all play things!!!

Yep a bit more off the line, be better if the tranny wasn't gulping air so ill have to just skid it till she goes and t350 like you, also thinking of a diff change to get the top end a little better but these are minor teething troubles, now i know the tune is good i can happily stand on it :-}...

Better than that, its all good! just a little die grinding fixed that, now just need a bigger hair drier as i have the boost bug now!!!! ha ha

Hi just wondering if you are still using non SC maf sensor. I know my turb vn goes like crap without a 2 bar maf? Just a guess as i dont know too much on sc donks.

Here's the factory jobbies off the vp, these had the crappy pivot rockers as well.

The rusty VP i got from the wrecker had similar, but also had the square recess for the rockers. Can load a photo as i threw it in my scrap pile but only took one head off so only have one.

Fully rebuilt :rofl2: Had a bit of a nervous time at startup as it was hard to start and would splutter to a stop with a small pop out the throttlebody. Running it NA for run in, so standard ECU and injectors. I was ready to take front cover off to check timing but got hold of delco wizzid...

Ill give it 100% as long as it leaves my wallet alone haha. So no, I'm too budget for that but every little bit helps ay. Im hoping holden were spot on with the crank???? It better do good skiddies now:-} and hopfully leave my wallet for fuel.

While its apart i thought i might as well do everything i can. Pistons and pins were 368gm. Was 2.2 difference but not now :-} Block back just waiting on gasket set to be changed for the correct one then im in to it Test drive Sunday???? Ill let you know how i go

Another couple of action shots. Haha Not just a job of weighing each end as without this rig the readings were all over the place. Even rigged without the ball bearings was still a gram either way, but with this set up with the ball bearings i got them to within 0.2 grams end for end and all...

Yeh mate, These photos make them look like there is a little nipple on top. but they are actually rounded on top and the pointy looking bit is a little indent. Think of them as innie not outie nipples.:rofl2: Sure youve seen some of them???

Worried? In what way? You like your tits less pointy and bigger i suppose. I wasn't expecting them to look like that either but they are here and going in. The thought has crossed my mind about skimming the titties off to drop compression but im thinking they left them there for some reason and...

Precision International and they are standard so with the extra depth and "titties" i suppose they come out at 9:1? Was thinking of some VN ones in stead to drop comp a little but then got baffled with different compression heights and different head chamber sizes on VN heads so i thought stay...

Look what turned up today, only ordered two days ago. Awesome service from victoria Aus to NZ. Deeper dish but a little tit in the centre? And we all know what we think of tits big or small:rofl2: Off to engineers tomorrow for pressure test and rebore. Also got a new oil pump for piece of...

Wrecker said that i cleaned him out so ill be gettin my coin back:surprise: Um i think my brother said 300 for some oversize. Not forgies or anything special as i thought there was 0 of them anywhere? But delco seems to go pretty well on the stockies and he's doing the tune once i sort my...

Yep im wondering if i should have bit the bullet and payed the 300 for new slugs and 80 for the bottom gasket set and the 400 for machining. At least then i would know what i got!!! But since the wrecker has my coin i suppose im stuck :undead: 3 down but there has to be a good one out there...

Please disregard this thread as this second motor from the reputable wrecker has had a guts full of h2o and has rusty bores as well. Will see what he comes up with next???? Thanks anyway guys.

Cheers Delco, I take it you mean the vr rollers? with vp pushrods,? Ill get there:hmmm: Got lots of spares now:rofl2:

Hi I had a vr v6 that i was having troubles with and went through lots to get that motor going including reco heads with port and polish but to no avail so are ditching that block and got a "GOOD runner" from a wrecker. Heads off that to stick my ported jobs on but one bore was rusty so back to...

A couple of photos to show ya ive been busy. Easy enough to do if you take ya time and have the correct long nose die grinder and lots of time to spare. Also pays to do a search on the site for the know how. If you can see any more improvement i could make please let me know. I just did a tidyup...

For anyone who's watching, the intake didn't fix the problem but must have been ready to go. So heads are off, and someone has maybe used silicon when they did the water pump as there was silicon in the little holes in the gasket that feed the head or bleed the head, but anyway three of these...

Looking at the map on the ecu there's more than a tweak, more like a wrench. Still putting back together so don't stress. Altho i am rather excited to see 10 lb up its ass:-}

Does that mean the VN heads cool better?

This is what i found after chasing a small oil leak that i thought was the rocker cover but when i pulled cover off found white oil inside cover. So my miss im 99% sure is due to intake gasket. As for photo 2 that is what you get from not running coolant in your system. This was supposed to be a...

There they are FORD RACING at it best?

Thats what i thought, they are definately 42bl green tops as i did a search of numbers cast on them and yes 42lb. i think the trouble is that they are ford racing ones and the old holden is objecting to ford gear??? they dont leak or drip and spray is heaaaaaaps. so why doesnt this thing get...

Some more updates. 1, took her out for a power run today and no exhaust smoke so thanks for the tip on the PCV valve delco. Tho i had my skid tires on and damp roads, sideways every kickdown :-} 2, Now for the other issue. i thought i would try a little experiment and stuck another ecu...

This ones cool but cant wait to get more boost up it and realy shread some rubber
