Well it has been a long time between posts!!!!! But got stuck in to the old girl recently and made a few more changes to the set up. Got rid of the serpentine belt and had a Gilmer drive made for it, so now there is zero belt slip. Also up the blower speed some more to make some more boost. Now...

I think that you may have taken some of what I said the wrong way, or as usual I was a bit **** in explaining it. I was more pointing out the that it is ALWAYS the same people that bag anyone that wants to play with there V6. But yes, there are great people that help out in general and they to...

I did not add anything to the op questions, yes that is correct. Why..... Let me explain. I have been a member on here for about 9 years. I have watched and participated in threads like this many times. 90% of the time the thread ends up going the same way, downhill faster than the Jamaican...

It is funny that it would have taken you about 2 minutes more than what it took the others to type a dribble response. Good to see some are still helpful. :)

Only the L36 not the L67, but some of us have converted the L67 to manual. You poor guys missed the boat by having a FWD.....

Good to see things have not changed here at all.\ Same unhelpful twats twatwaffling on as always......

A couple of videos Doing some passenger runs

Got the new Brushworks Cam in and the blower on and done, Also got to take her for a drive to Sydney to go do some laps at Marulan Driver training Center.

Run a completely different circuit for the 044. The stock wiring will struggle to provide the correct current. Wire up another relay that is triggered from the original trigger and run a direct feed from your battery. Run a new wire all the way to the 044 and make sure you use 15amp minimum....

Crank, rods and pistons can go to 500rwhp+ if tuned correctly. There are a few out there that have gone even further.

I started it a couple weeks ago!!!! But no I have not had time to do much. Have a heap of new bits to bolt on, just hard finding the time to do it all. I am hoping by mid May the big port M90, new cam and the alloy heads will be on.

Make sure that you have a good earth to the DFI (coil packs) as the loom earth is ****. Try gapping the plugs down to 1mm or even to .8mm and see if that makes a difference. Next is to check what fuel pressure that you are getting under boost conditions. Sometimes with transplants the fuel...

Depending on what version of software you are using to what parameters you would max out. The software I use goes to 9600RPM, and supports 3bar. So if you are going higher than that, you may need to go aftermarket...

What model Haltech ??

Throw the Iridiums in the bin or give them to some one else. The correct gap for a L67 is 1.3mm, if you read the NGK guide they state NEVER to re-gap the Iridiums. The smaller gap is to help the spark jump under higher cylinder pressures when you are under boost. A lot of us run a smaller gap...

Do not use a gasket between the blower and the lower intake manifold, just use the Blue RTV silicone. I know this sounds a little strange, but the under blower gasket seems to compact rather quickly and go brittle. This can cause vac and boost leaks. Have done buck loads of these things just...

The first thing I would be doing is putting a oil pressure gauge on it and looking at what the oil pressure is at idle then at higher RPM. Sounds like the oil pressure is very low

No I did not miss the point at all..... This could go around in circles for weeks, for every argument that you have there will always be a counter argument.

LOL, there are rules on all cars and there are some cars that are not allowed to be registered in Australia, yet in other countries they are, so in fact the car enthusiast is governed by laws that at times seems silly and unwarranted, but that is what we have to comply to. Yep a car can kill...

Yeah I thought it was a lot higher than the "other" stats that were posted....... They are also saying that a mass shooting consists of 4 or more people getting killed

Not sure where the statistics came from, but you should look at shooting deaths as a whole to actually get the complete picture. But saying oh it is not that bad based on the population, is just a cop out. When you look at the ACTUAL figures of total deaths caused by guns, it starts to...

If you have spent the money on a 355 with a STA blower, then don't cheap out now. Find a good tuner and get it done properly. That money you spend on a proper tune could end up saving you $$$$$$$$$...

I can not recall any VP coming our with a Super 6. The Buick engine did however come out with a Eaton M62 blower as a factory release. As others have said just bolt a L67 in to it and have it plated if you really want to. Do a ECU and loom swap to keep the sequential injection and some other...

The coating is there to take up the tolerance between the rotors. It is there to help seal the rotors so the blower pumps more air, it also helps to slow air slip which heats up the air.

Don't bother ordering a new hose just go get some silicone vacuum line to replace that hose. Will cost you about $2.00. The "shiny screw" will be the vacuum/boost port on the from of the lower intake manifold (LIM) from factory these are blocked odd with a rubber plug. I would say some one was...

It is always easier to start with working out 2 things. 1. Budget 2. What kind of power are you looking for. With out knowing that, it makes it hard to suggest anything worthwhile..

I will post some pics in the next couple of weeks

There is a bit of massaging needed for it to fit. The VS is pretty easy, but the later girls need a decent amount of persuasion for it to fit, but it can be done. The stock intake is a choke for these blowers once you start to spin the hell out of them. The M90 needs a nice unrestricted path for...

Yeah battery is going well. No issues at all.

If the VF that you have has E Flex capabilities then you could run any of the E85 range of fuels with out any hassles. But to get the most from it you really need to get the car tuned for it, otherwise you are just throwing money away, the same goes for any other high octane fuel.

If you have replaced the supercharged engine with a non supercharged engine and have not changed the tune to a ECOTEC then that will be the issue. The supercharged engine runs a bigger injector than the ECOTEC, and the whole tune will not be right for the ECOTEC..

Comes down to what box you are going to run and if you want sequential injection and a few other niceties that come with the later ECU. If you are planning on running a 4l60e you will need to update the ECU to a later model. If you are running the VP box you can stay with the 808 and change to...

Not sure. the owner has done so many passes its not funny and it is still going strong. With a stock engine being under $400.00 and a set of springs being $200.00 and a GETRAG being about $400.00, who really cares??? Pop it and spend a few hours and a couple of beers and chuck another one in...

The drive line is the same between them in most cases.......

Yeah I am hearing you, but that is the same for any car whether it be a 4, 6, 8. having to trade one off is not a big sacrifice.

350RWKW is not very hard, nor is it that expensive. One of my customers is running a ECOTEC with a turbo and it is making 465RWHP. The best he has been able to run so far is a 11.01 @126MPH. The only modifications to the engine is a set of heavier valve springs. The turbo kit is from Exile...

You need need to know what clearance you have between the base of the valve spring retainer and the valve steam seal/guide. Stock heads are only good for about .530 thou of lift, anymore and you will start to damage push rods, valve stem seal and or guides. You will also need to know the...

Party time!!! Every dog has its day and hopefully that dog is out of the scene for good. Nothing but a lying, thieving grub, good riddance to the muppet.

they only used the ECOTEC radiator as Immortality said, but if you do want to run a bigger one you can use the brass/copper V8 one that was used in the VN/VP/VR
