cheers pete and snowdogg

hey all, been a while since i been on here and upgrade from my vt daily to this wagon in sept last year bought it stock and has had a bit of money and changes done in the time i have owned it... mods include.... go fast stuff hurricane 1-7/8" 4 into 1 extractors with 200cpi cats.. dual 3"...

hey mate, yeah all my cooler piping is no holes.. will try n get a few pics over the weekend for ya

small update as i havent ben on here for ages..... I decided to ditch the manual and go back to auto.... got myself a low kay turbo jatco then I got a full manual valve body fitted and put a 2800 stall in with it... oh and I cant forget the b&m pro ratchet shifter aswell.... the vl is so much...

from going by ya first picture u have a nipple screwed into the front housing of the turbo and a nipple off the internal gate..... that's all u should have and as Nath said in the diagram he showed u, put a piece of vacuum hose between them, if u want a boost controller later on it shows that...

im def interested pending final price tho :D

That's correct but as I said to have to spin the convertor onto the spin so it mates up to the oil pump... If it not sure what I'm talking about, YouTube is ur friend here... Watch a video of how its done

There's ya issue, it needs to be fitted on to the input shaft when fitting the box back in.. U also need to turn the convertor clockwise on the input shaft til u feel it clicking, on the 3rd click its ready to fitted... The winding of the convertor mates it up to the oil pump Hope this helps

when u put the gearbox back in did u have the torque convertor still bolted to the flywheel or did u have it sitting on the input shaft of the box ??

looks mint man !!

definately put 225's on the rear, i doing this to my calais wheels shortly

wagon is looking good mate !!! it def needs a calais nose on it tho..... i have one of those non flips calais noses in my shed if ur interested Larry

no difference between the turbo and n/a fuel pumps... same part number

nope they wont fit, tried this years ago with a set of hdt covers i had for 1 of my old vlt

cheers mate!

siemens is a good choice, im running 550cc with my nistune

the material the bag is made out of is heat resistant so im guessing cordz would be on the money... vectra's have these aswell if ur hunting the wreckers for one, i got mine for nothing with other parts i got a few months ago but holden use to sell these for way over the $100 mark when they...

looks good man, love the look of the 35 on the low mount mani.... what ecu/inj's are u running ??

cheers cordz and nath.... yeah bloke its a battery bag off an astra :D

just thought i would update this... have done about 1000 clicks with the new motor in it and it hasnt missed a beat, cant say the same about the 5 speed tho... its shagged but i just picked up and rb20det 5 speed box for it and will go in with a new clutch soon 2.5 litre surge tank is in the...

hey jake have you replaced the vac modulator on the auto like we spoke about ??

good stuff nath.... A8 n 5 speed action coming soon.... :D

hey mate the clubbie looks fat with the pentagons!! when u installed that cup holder did u have to cut anything to make it fit?? i have one for my vt but it seems too wide for the console Cheers Larry

Yeah should handle 12psi pretty easily but will be sorta on the limits fuel wise... The n/a 5 speed will survive if u don't don't do clutch dumps etc, I'm running a n/a 5 speed but its just about had it tho

hey mate, the setup looks good... u will need the xf throttle body and that should fix ya problem, i had to make make a bracket to fit the vl TPS but i drove my calais for weeks with it disconnected and ran fine... send me a pm if u need help with anything mate Larry

hey mate i have a forward facing plenum on my vlct and the idle gear(aac) on the back is still there but doesnt do anything as i have an XF throttle body to control the idle.... if ur still running the stock throttle body u will need the aac there.. post a pic of ur setup... Larry

Thanx for all your help mate... Just need to decide on a headunit now

cheers for replying mate..... so out of the 2 s/w control wires and the earth u only used 1 s/w/c wire and the earth ??? im looking at a unit similar to what u have but i have noticed some have only the 2 s/w/c wires.. Larry

hey mate was this as simple as connecting the 2 wires from the clock spring plug to the 2 wires on the headunit to get it working ?? Cheers Larry

looks very tidy mate.... love the look with the pentagons

def has berlina door trims/arm rests... also has the arm rest on the console which is something exec's dont have but no tacho dash.... the painted plate above the compliance plates will tell u what it is, get a pic of this plate and i will tell ya

bahahahahahaha nice call man lol

hey nath, cheers bloke.... only thing different too look at is the manual shifter... everything looks the same

little update.... about a month ago i popped the head gasket on the 30, after years of abuse before i owned im surprised its last so long... i ended up buying a mates vlt to get the running gear out of it... he spent alot of coin building the motor the new motor is a factory A8 block with acl...

good to see a dirty 30 back in there mate

headlights are all the same, just a matter of swappin the nose cone over and wiring the eyelids up(thats if its a genuine calais nose)

thats a great stating project dannc.... u should be able to get a nose cone in the same colour from a wreckers, and maybe the bars aswell, top work Cheers Larry

i frequentally drive frem here(maclean nsw) to bris which is just under 300 kays and it cost me 20 bucks each way, my vl is runnin cheaper on the highway since i just did a 5 speed conversion 4 weeks ago..... i have only every been able to get 48-50 litres of fuel into my vl from dead empty...
