    Tark's "Tuff 6" VT Calais, Stroked and blown!

    Tark's "Tuff 6" VT Calais, Stroked and blown!

    I'm running a Radial intake 3.3L whipple with a 2000CFM four barrel throttle body, each throttle blade is 2" in diameter, it's a bloody big sucker! There's no room at the rear of the engine to run an axial entry blower, as i've already cut about 2" into the firewall to fit this blower. ;) You...

    B&m shifter

    Really easy to fit. I run a Carbon Pro-Ratchet B&M shifter. The box has been manualised, but it doesn't have to be to run the shifter. Just get a 3mm plate and bolt the shifter to the plate and then bolt the plate to the floor where the original shifter came out. You can with some extensive...

    vt l67 twin 2.5' xforce exhaust too loud- any idea's how to quieten it down a bit

    You could always change the mufflers. Magnaflow do a 2.5" muffler for the VT-VZ (muffler only, size to fit the car). Magnaflow mufflers are awesome at quietening down the exhaust under light throttle, and really letting it rip at WOT. They are expensive, but well worth the dollars.

    2 beeps then 5 beeps...

    I'd go with this one. that does sound like the same chime that is made when the handbrake is applied when the car is moving. I think there's a minimum speed it chimes in at too, but not sure. It may be a loose handbrake switch causing the problem. If in fact the chime is the HB chime.

    Come Stroker kit 4.2

    If you want a stroker kit for a Ecotec or L67, you can't go past Pro-Stroke. I'm so happy with mine, everything I do to it, it just keeps making more and more power. They are so friendly and helpful. If you want something different, it's definitely worth it. The prices range according to...

    VT2 Calais boot garnish

    I believe they are glued on from the factory. I have seen them separated before but never done it myself. They do fit a S1 VT garnish though as I fitted one to my mates S1 calais. It had what looked like hot glue or something similar on the tabs that go under the edge. They can't be bought...

    vt ss skirts

    They aren't exactly the same. On the VT, the very lower lip that is under the main part of the skirt is textured plastic and not painted in factory trim. On the VX, the same section is smooth and painted. In saying that, the shape is pretty much identical, the price genuine from Holden is...

    Thanks heaps guys! Sure no probs! Just don't hold your breathe waiting for the car to be in Wagga. LOL ; Thanks for the kind words guys! Believe it or not, that's the sort of look I'm going for. I personally think the VT shape is awesome! It's nothing special when compared to...

    I'm after the wiring loom that goes from the engine bay fusebox into the car and as much wiring as I can get inside the cabin. How much would you want for it? Cheers

    V6 Stage 3 Engine options

    + 1 for Pro-Stroke! They built my L67 motor and it hasn't missed a beat! Runs 28psi and 465rwhp all day everyday, even in Sydneys newly declared worst peak hour traffic, behaves like a stocker. Definately give them a call.

    Smash repair question

    That looks like the beaver (rear panel behind bar) would be damaged. If it is, and the repair bill is coming to 1200 I'd be very sceptical. Also a further 800 to paint the rest of the car (ie whole car except for boot lid and rear bar as that's included in the 1200 repair price). Do'pnt expect...

    [Ecotec] Factory L67 TwinCharged Plans

    Man, really interesting project you've got going. First question, Have you got an isolator for the water/meth injection? Under vacuum, the inlet manifold will try and suck water in, and you won't be able to control it. Many years ago I was going to install water/meth into the U bend of the...

    [Ecotec] stroking an ecotec

    There's two options. Yella Terra sell decompression head gaskets. They are made by Cometic and YT use them in thier Ecotec M90 conversion. I run them in mine and they take 28psi and a heap of revs. So if they are assembled correctly there's no reason not to use them. However the amount you...

    Twin turbo how much power?

    Yes, I know of a turbo alloytech. Magic Performance did one a number of years ago now. Maybe 4 years? He made the manifolds up, and it was quite a good setup. Heaps of potential. If you are really keen, there is a guy in QLD under his user name on L67torque is commotion. He fabs turbo...

    Well, I'm pleased to say I have just picked the car up from CV Performance where it was finally getting it's proper tune done. The result; 346.3 rwkw. I was hoping for 450rwhp, but to exceed this and get 465 odd is awesome!!! Here's the slip. I can't wait to get the headwork...

    Juzza, Speak to the guys at Pro-Stroke before you go handing over any of your hard earned. Regarding your questions, I'm lost reading your first couple of paragraphs... So I'm just going to answer your easy Q's. ;) -The highest compression ratio you can go is well beyond the realms of...

    [Ecotec] stroking an ecotec

    It all comes down to your budget. My bottom end would cost around the 9-10k mark. That's just the rotating assembly, assembled and balanced beyond Pro-Race specs with heads put in place. That doesn't include the head assembly or any of the CNC work that was done. You can go for a milder...

    v6 superchared looking at strokerkit.. cant choose

    It depends on how much you're willing to spend and exactly how hard you're going to be on the engine and it'a application. To build a stroker kit, say the kit I got was around 4k. To build a similar stength bottom end with standard stroke it will cost about the same. Basicly, if you want a...

    [Ecotec] stroking an ecotec

    If you want 300rwkw, go turbo, unless you want a blower. If you want a blower, then go a whipple. But you'll be spending more than 10k. The blower kit alone is around the 7k mark, then you've got to build a motor, and a box, fuel system, tune. The list goes on. Then there's the brakes, diff etc...

    Destroking and Ecotec/L67?

    If all you want to do is rev the thing to 7k, just get it built properly. It certainly doesn't need to be de-stroked! Mine has been stroked to 4.2L and will rev to 7k no problems running 25psi. At the moment the rev limit is set to 6500 as it was a run-in tune. But in a few weeks it we'll be...
