update all fixed, I ended up re arranging the flow direction and went back through the radiator rather than bypassing it this is what I did as follows 1. trans line feed-top radiator-bottom radiator-top cooler-bottom cooler-return trans 2. added a 7' thermo fan fixed to the 14' trans cooler...

does it sound like my converter is playing up even though I had it repaired? as I was driving it today and got to about 100c and dropped to 98c but when I put my foot down the temp went to 150c straight away then dropped back to 100c when I took foot off the pedal,i still had all gears and...

that's exacatly what it does, yeah its a lock up converter dominator 4000,my temp gauge is in the bottom deep pan sump on the side about half way down the sump.thanks for the output hopefully I will this out soon,with the thermos fan this is how its setup the engine has the factory twin thermos...

i have re plumbed the cooling and placed the cooler closer to the radiator infront of the air condenser and have run the lines through the radiator to the cooler, so I have the feed line to bottom radiator top radiator to bottom cooler top cooler to return to transmission,i have setup a 16"...

well unless this gauge is faulty that's what it reads 150c, I have never had a gauge on it in the past so I wouldn't know what the temp was back then, with no cooler either, now that I have one and it has been bypassed via the radiator which sits infront of air condenser close to the grill, she...

update, I drove it this morning when cold and it drives fine all gears even forth power button works fine freeway drove it for a good half hour sitting on 110 at 3000rpm cruising along no dramas soon as my trans temp gauge reaches 150'c I lose 4th soon its goes under 130'c I have 4th back I have...

hi im at my wits end with this 4l65e gearbox have had fixed and rebuilt in a matter of weeks in my vz ss 6lt,im not sure what else to do, first off I lost 2nd gear while at the drags had it fixed then I lost gears from power button 4th to 3rd wouldn't engage then it did so I had a intermittent...

Hi, I’m looking at ways from dropping my et times in my vz ss l76 6litre which run consistent 11.22-11.35 into the 10s my mph is up in the 117mph-118mph natural aspirated with only cam stall and diff gears no matter how much I try I can’t seem to break into the 10s, any ideas I would like to...

In looking at doin a compression test on l76 6 litre with a cam upgrade what psi should I be getting for a healthy engine to know if anything is wrong internally thanks. I been looking on different sites and get 2 different ranges one says around 160psi and another says 400psi which one is more...

according to the et calculator it reads 467rwhp?

ok yeah I tried them et calculators to they give me different readings as well all I know is I seem to run low to mid 11s with good and bad 60fts just trying to work out on a average what power I could have at the wheels.

can someone help work out what roughly rwhp I have as I run into the 11.2 to 11.5s in my vz ss 6l I have been on 4 different dynos and keep getting different readouts ranging from 380rwhp upto 440rwhp but strange thing is when I bought the car it had some previous work done with power readout in...

updated pics now running 11.2 on full slicks and 11.4 on streets

heres my 2003 vy berlina quicksilver silver 17"rims on white walls tint custom painted rear taillights v6 stock

I was lucky enough to have M32 rebuilt and shift kitted when I bought it, so its held out so far just so long is the next question

that's pounds not kgs

axle is fixed,what I cant understand is they were new strengthened axels than stock ones and somehow snapped all the insides of the axle not the actually bar itself.

snapped the drivers side axle, thought it was the box but all is good just waiting on replacement should be there next week and fast Friday coming up.

you said intake what type was it? ive seen quite a few of the 6lt with the fast intakes, not keen on intakes im keeping mine stock as I don't want to start modifying intakes heads or throttle bodies.

like T13VOM said it does feel the same very streetable around town and on the freeway on cruise control idles on good rpm, great for off the line at traffic lights, very little throttle to smoke them tyres off the line, overall its a killer combo.

yeah my 60' have dropped heaps now to 1.5 instead of the previous 1.8 -1.9.

actually shaved bit more than that, down to a 11.4. changed converter

umm no its all good im into the 11s now without the help of NOS, naturally aspirated with a cam only engine wise.

lol talk about pulling the piss but that's just a little to far, I don't need to remove any of that I just stick with what I got .......

nothing really just empty the boot spare tyre usually I run it with just under half a tank of fuel, my weight is 85kgs the car weighs around 3650 pounds I don't ice the air box I just open the bonnet to allow air in, pretty much it, don't get me wrong im pretty happy with my times I was just...

id rather not pull any more weight its light enough as it is without strippin it down to a non street car style , I was just lookin for ways without modyfing anything else keeping streetable and without spending any more to it im not looking for a flat 11 second just under 11.40, also just found...

ok, well I got some slicks for sale then

thanks for that pub247, well I just bought some full slicks and front runners running the et streets with 19" up front, with the full slicks and the current time of 11.40 how much time could I possibly shave off running the full slick setup

ok airstrike so for an example you have 11.76@117mph with 470rwhp were as I have 11.4@118mph with 384rwhp wouldn't you have got a similar if not lower time? also with 11.15@131mph as to a 11.2@120mph wouldn't you be down to the 10s? explain cheers

I was quite surprised with the times as I was speaking to a few guys at the drags about there times and hp in there cars and found there bigger hp than what I have but doin higher times there was a supercharged 6l with 470rwhp doin 11.6 and a 500rwhp big block ford doin 11.2 s how does this...

ok so whats that in rwhp isn't there a formula were you can divide fwhp to rwhp estimate

after getting consistent 11.4s up around the 118mph what rwhp would I likely have after all the readouts in last pages

ran a new pb of 11.40 @ 118mph could I crack an 11.3? with my figures 1.53 60' on average

the last pass after it was dropped to 18psi plus I didn't do much of a burnout at the start just a quick one 123 so im pretty sure it could cause of lack of warming up tyre, but didn't think it would affect from the previous burnout warmups tyres would be still sticky and warm unless that side...

the first 3 runs I had the pressure at 20psi, after that my mate dropped it to 18psi
