    The car was actually a good friend of mines BMW E36 M3, so it wasn't exactly slow.

    VX SS Single Turbo

    Car hasn't seen alot of road lately, only done about 1500kms since this time last year. I'm all ready for Powercruise this Friday however. Had the guys from Ramp Auto Group in Malaga make me up a 4" dump pipe, remove the cat, move the fuel system to underneath the car, and upgrade the...

    My best/favourite work.

    Always mate, fire away. The shot itself has a new background, (if you couldn't tell already), was shot with a 5' octabox camera left. Most of the effect is done through dodging and burning layers in PS :) Ah awesome, thanks mate! I've taken a huge interest in Timelapse also, but it...

    My best/favourite work.

    I started taking photos with an entry level Nikon D5000 back in 2009. Over the last 3 years photography has become somewhat of an obsession, consuming about ~10k worth of paycheck, and dominating most of my spare time. I now shoot weddings, auto, landscape, and majority of things inbetween. Hope...

    The exhaust from the right side passes under the gearbox via a crossover, and comes up into the turbo manifold. The crossover etc should come with any kit that you buy. The sump needs to be modified with a fitting, which accommodates the oil that drains out of the turbo, this goes into the sump.

    VX SS Single Turbo

    Interesting last few weeks with the car. Below is a quick vid of 2nd,3rd,and 4th pull. After that, I called the DPI to renew my license for Powercruise, and they politely informed me that the car is no longer registered, as they didn't change my address when I rang up to ask them to do so. As...

    Managed to start the car (finally) the other night. Ran pretty well, took it for a putt around the block to make sure no leaks, etc, all seems well. I had my intercooler the right way up this time, but, without even realising, the fkn fog lights on the ss bar prevented me from attaching the...

    Neither did I :/ This one practically had its arse blown out, god knows how long I was spitting exhaust out into the engine bay for. Glad i decided to give it a decent overhaul. The HKS T51R I chose was the 1000hp SPL, basically because it has enough flow to push big numbers but still has...

    Clutch is finally in, Twin Plate is a beast. How she sits now, (bonnet not included) The turbo upgrade that'l be going on in the next week or so. A probable cause for lack of flow/power And progress after day 1, replacing melted PS hoses, etc, stripping the side of the engine down to make...

    After seeing a lot of Garrett T51r, Borg Warner s400, and Turbonetics Turbos on LS1s lately, I thought i'd opt for something a little different. So, i managed to pick up a HKS T51R SPL 1000hp rated unit second hand, as they fetch upwards of $4500 brand new. No doubt a few of you have heard...
