Just thought id add the 2 litre pintara tbs are a direct bolt on to vls and there bigger.

Yeah mate thats the reason i did it. plus a vl radiator wasnt going to fit without a decent amout of work to the brackets it slots into..Definatley cant wait to get it out to the track and see what it runs..so far havnt had any cooling problems without a shroud but something maybe to consider in...

Absolute minter..Leave it exactly how is..Smash a rb30 in there..suprise people = profit

PS could mod please move to my ride section? thank chu

Bit of an update ..It wasnt fast enough so this happend.Setup on E85 ,going for tune in the next few weeks looking at makin around the 500hp mark ............. Thats a 600x300x100 cooler stuffed in there :)

Awesome mate. just liked the page

Straight forward conversion. they following will will have to be swapped over. Use a 6 cylinder k frame. engine mounts are entirley different. Front brakes are smaller and run the smaller stud pattern. 6 cylinder rotors and calipers will bolt straight onto the 4 cylinder strut, there is no...

350's blow the donkey imo. There a v8 carby and even when jetted down to suit the 6's they dont work the best. Iv spent so much time effort and money trying to get mine to do what its sposed to do with out succes. There good for nothing except burning unesscery amounts of fuel.

lol. Its an su. and its a draw through turbo setup not blow through.So in this case a 350 would work.

second that. actually while we're here, i want to put triple 35rs or on my mower

Whats your reasoning for fitting more than one turbo? vg30 turbochargers are capable of flowing more than enough air. more than your 202 is ever going to flow.As for detirmining intercooler size,end tank design, inlet?outlet size etc. i recomend picking a book called maximium boost. Has in...

go some 4.11s :)

Hahaha yip yip , i havnt been on here for ages and i see one of my old posts is up the top. lol. Was funny reading back, Ive done about 6 timming belts in vls now. lol

I dont mind the nose up ,tail draggers. Pick up a street machine mag from the mid 80's they did it the other way around. front end slammed tail in the air.Its just a phase like justin bieber.

Few pics of my crash in this thread http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vb-vc-vh-vk/59253-my-starfire-vc-life-death.html Lots of speed. tight left hander, bit of rain, pole=bad

If you need to know what fits and what doesnt just let us know. between me and my mates we've owned 4 starfire powered commodores and done everything to em. lol.anywho to answer your questions . yep the 6 cylinder axles will slot straight into your 4 cylinder diff. make sure you get them from...

Yip will definatley do a write up , Would have been really helpful when doing the conversion. I might make up an entirley new thread on how to or just tack it on in here. still gota get all my pics together. I have heaps but spread across 2 computers and in 50 million different folders...

Cheers buddy. Good work on peddling another starfire around.is it auto or manual? I'll post up plenty more photos and write up what i did to install the RB30. Its a relitivley easy conversion but just takes lots of time if you want to do it properly. Starfire out, vl k frame in, vl...

Ps could a mod please move this to the my ride section? Thanks!

I loled at this comment. I have done a heap of work to this thing over the last few months.It is no longer standard.,about the only thing left original is the shell. I put an rb30 in it etc ..will just post pics cause no one wants to read a novel :)..... Some before pics.... The day we...

Intresting setup and nice power figure. i thought about doing a turbo setup on one of my many red motors but decided against it for many reasons. Hows cold start driveabilty with the draw through?

Did you buy this off a bloke called craig??

bit hard to explain without pics. but the spring goes on the tensioner and reacts off the small threaded stud to the right of it looking from the front of the motor.put it on in such a way so as the pully flicks around to the right (toward the belt)

im pretty sure you ran over a woodpecker and its stuck under you car. but seriously dude.exhaust rattle a gorilla could tell you that

Allready a thread on this topic. http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vb-vk-holden-commodore-1978-1985/129289-rb30-into-vb.html I have just finished this conversion on my vh wagon. You can use you vh tank but its much easier to get a vl tank.they will bolt straight into you vh. that way you...

yeah about 350-400...got 120k to a tank when my timing belt jumpt a tooth

202 heads bolt straight on and they flow better. get one off a red motor for full sick faster factor

mission to install and set up correctly but worth it in the end

yip ive just done this conversion took me 180 days. 3 months of which i was crippled with a broke foot lol. theres a fair bit to it if you want to pull it off properly. you could do a dodgey conversion pretty quick.apart from having to fabricate a gearbox x member everything else is basically...

Yeah they will fit.The pedals are exactly the same part and have exactly the same part number they used the same ones from vb right throuh to vz.So they will fit on no worries.

If the engines currently in good running order ,just slap the turbo on and dont run stupid amounts of boost..Put a big cooler on it to help prevent pinging,run 98 octane fuel and nock your timing back to 10 degrees BTDC.I know people who have thrown turbo's on 400,000km n/a engines and run 15psi...

Well it all ended up going through there insurance.Luckly the panel beater knew the assesor and managed to convince him to pay out more...Its all who you know in this industry..

Thanks everyone..certainly has been a mission getting it back together and on the road again ,but definatley worth the effort.Vl MAN i was insurred with suncorp but they wernt goin to give me anything as i only had 3rd party fire and theft. Allso took it out to willowbank for a run .Ran a...

Looks good..Like the ol vk calais's..good to see another injected 6 too.Whats the plans for it?

Heres the link for the twin cam head conversion. Cobra30.com - RB30 Twin Cam Head Conversion

I went sedan..but allso love my wagon..Wagons just look tuff as slammed i reckon.

Buy it i say..I bought a pretty trashed vl calais a few months back for $900. I bought it cause i wanted the drivetrain etc. I sold the rest of it off and made $500 profit..

rb30e's dont have knock sensors,rb30et's do..there is a provision on the left hand side of the block for it to screw into..

bumpy ...

Well it seems the mighty starfire has sucumbed to some v.s.r. Instead of fixing it ive decided to put an rb30et in it...Luckily i wrecked a vl not to long ago and stole its entire drivetrain goodness..So far ive pulled the salisbury diff out and now in the process of puttin the borgwarner in...
