Hi guys I have done a search and I think I have the answer but I just want to confirm. Me and a mate are building a drag car from a V8 VP birlina LX. We want to ditch the immobiliser and the ignition barrel and just have toggle switches and a start button but for now we just want to lose the...

thanks for all the replys guys. we are thinking that we will start with all the basics first like lightening the car, diff gears, spool, pipes and nitrouse. then when we go to do the cam we will go with the carby because we are going to have a fairly big cam so we will need to retune anyway. i...

me and my mate have put thought into using a carbie and it’s probably what we will end up doing (even if it is only to look cool with a filter hanging out of the bonnet), I don’t want to go down the small block chev rout just because it would be a lot of work with new mounts, engine and all the...

ive had a few 1st gen commodores in the past but we are set on a VN-VS. we dont want to build a new motor or anything we are just wanting to chuck a cam in it, gas it up and lighten the car out. so the budget will be very tight. i had a VS with a live axle in it so i know you can get live axles...

hi guys, me and my mate have just sold our ef falcon turbo manual track car and now we are wanting to back to commodores. we are planning on building a dedicated drag car, not ever to be registered again. we want an efi 5.0 auto commodore because this is going to be a real budjet build and...

VN onwards are 28 spline. U can fit a VN duff in a vl if you only have stockies. But if you have wide wheels it won't fit.

I'll check all the vacuum lines for leaks. There isn't an intercooler. It's a standard set up and it's always done it.

Hi there I have a high comp vl wagon. And its sits at around 7 or 8psi till it gets high in the rev range then drops to just under 5 psi Is this a normal thing? Also how much boost can I safely run with the standard turbo ecu, turbo injectors and standard turbo. Cheers

Don't bother doing anything to the engine it's a waste of money. I've converted my VL wagon 5 speed to a turbo. And it cops a flogging every day. If u look around on the net u will find a lot of people running 220+ rwkw on standard bottom ends and having great reliability. You can easily run...

Has anyone used the ozsome no holes intercooler kit? They sell from there web site and on eBay. They are pretty cheap so I'm not expecting them to be the best but as long as there not a piece of ****. If anyone has used them it would b good to gear ur feedback.

Everything thing in the tail shaft was checked. We found 1 dodgy uni that we replaced. And I was balanced. (4g is pretty good) the tires are all new and balanced too. All this was dine to try and get rid of it. And it's a manual.

Hi guys as the name suggests I have a driveline vibrations issue. is starts to appear at about 100KPH. I’m trying to get a roady on the car so I can transfer it into my name so i can start the turbo build, but every time i take it back he finds something new thats wrong with it. (im doing all...

But i'm not wanting to go to a diff shop at all. I'm just after something that I can do myself at home.

Putting everything into the wagon diff housing is a bit of a pain and a diff shop would have to align everything. Welding the shocker brackets onto the sedan housing would be easier I recon

Hi guys. Ive been looking fir a vl turbo wagon LSD diff to chuck in my wagon for about 4 or 5 months and I haven't seen even 1 for sale. At this point i'm tempted to buy a vl turbo sedan diff and just weld the wagon shocker mounts onto it. (for people that don't know, the shocker mounts are in...

A company called spool or spool imports make a 3.4l crank for about 2.5k or a full forged kit for 6K.

Drop in a tb42 Luke :P

Hi guys. I'm putting a standard turbo setup on my vl. I'm also building a low comp engine to handle about 25 PSI and I plan on running strait gas with a gas research system. I'm using this motor to get my gas system sorted out and my ignition system and then a cooler all ready for the new...

hi guys, i have a vl ECU that ive had in the shed for quite a while. i was told it had a vl turbo chip put into it or it was re programed, tho its not a factory turbo ECU. is there anyway of finding out for sure? do the turbo chips have different numbers to the standard chip? any help would...

But will that make it retard the timing and run crap?

It's alll vl turbo gear including injuctors

Hi there. I have a vl turbo ecu. In the turbo ecu's there is a separate board in there for the knock censor. Since my engine doesn't have a knock censor j was going to haveto trick it with a resistor. But I have found that the knock censor board has a crack through it. And I was wondering if the...

yeah those are the ones. if its just the carbon canister then ill pull them off.

hi guys i got my hands on a vl turbo kit and im dummying it all up on a spare rb30 that i have to see what hoses and stuff will need replacing, and if i have all the bolts and stuff. ect on the standard vlt crossover pipe the are 3 small metal pipes or lines going across. i looked on my NA...

The headers bolt up but i doubt a standard exhaust will bolt up. But i dobt really know. I don't have time to get curior quotes and stuff but if you can orcsnise it to get picked up from 3910 then I will have someone home to help. Cats are sold. Just extractors left.

bump. may trade for a complete stock vl turbo setup with ecu plus cash ur way.

Ok cool, how does the throttle body keep it safe? I am going to be running gas research too. How much boost are you running and what RWKW? Im just curiouse on what to expect out of mine.

ITEM: im selling a pair of LS1 extractors im also selling a set of 3" hi flow cats LOCATION: VIC Langwarrin (near frankston) CONDITION:Used PRICE: im chasing $400 for the headers and $200 for the cats. Negotiable DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: pick up from langwarrin. theres always...

hi guys im just wondering if anyone here has a vl turbo running strait gas, and if they have had problems with back firing and what they do to get around it, im still building up my turbo motor. cheers

Well I actually would like to get at least 350 bucks for the whole lot. Just to get rid of it all. So if u not keen on that then I mite chuck it all on eBay. I have the oil feed line too.

I would take $100 buck but I also have a vl dump pipe, a r32 dump pipe and a manifold that I'm looking to get rid of too

Looks nice mate

Sweet, it would be good to see some pics. Did u get urs from the same bidy kit shop that is on eBay now?

Well if that is the case then I will just get a brand new one made up. At least then I will know that it is 100% spot on.

Ok cool well I recon I will go towards the r33 box. Now I just need some more pocket money

Ok cool. Anyone know about the tail shaft?

Also. Well the box bolt unto the rb30 or will it need an adaptor.

Does anyone know if there is a tail shaft that will suit or will I need to get one made up?

Well it's going to be a street and strip kinda thing. It will be driven on the road most days but I plan on doing a fair bit of dragging and track events like the nats and performance car mania and all of those type of events
